Sandestin Suggestions?

[OnMackBayou]

Bistro Bijoux
Seagar's
Poppy's
Marlin Grill
Acme
Jim 'N Nick's

In that order, in my humble opinion, having eaten at all of the above many times. There are lots of casual places too, as mentioned in other posts. Another place if you like Chicago style hot dogs- Tom's at Baytowne Wharf.

question about seagars - do you have to dress up to eat there, or are nice shorts and a button up shirt ok? i have always wanted to eat there, but the hubby thinks it may be too fancy for us. we refuse to dress up on vacation since he has to wear a tie to work every day.

Seagar's is dressy, but they probably wouldn't turn you away. You might want to call first just to make sure.

I don't believe a tie is required but I don't believe they allow shorts either.

OK - so I would propose you try our area - here are some of my favorites:

Basmati's - asian fare and great service
Borago - italian -everything is delicious and everyone is nice
Amore - casual dining on outside terrace - v good pizza and salad

We ate at Borago's last weekend, and it was great. the other two I've never heard of. Where are they located?

Louisiana Lagniappe. No one ever mentions it. My hubby and I think it's one of the best in Destin. Not too fancy. It's been there for about 25 yrs. Best fish dishes. Good oysters rockefellar. It's west of Sandestin in the Sandpiper Cove community on the marina. Dress code is casual. Love Acme also, but only for it's raw oysters and po-boys. Otherwise, the food is mediocre. 2 days and counting. :clap_1:

I've eaten there in shorts. I wouldn't go if not allowed to wear shorts. But then again, I look pretty good in shorts. Just kidding about the last part.

So Santiago, how good do you look in shorts? Any pictures of your legs? :funn:
