There's a new place in Blue Mountain Beach to get our taco fix! But it's much more than that ...

Red Fish Taco has opened the doors on the ground floor of Trebeache' in Redfish Village on the corner of Scenic 30A and County Road 83 by the local team that also operates six restaurants across three states. Chef Jim Richard and his creative team have done it again, venturing forth with a fast, fresh and casual concept just off gorgeous Blue Mountain Beach.

The most glorious time of year has returned once again to the shores of SoWal Beaches - rebirth & renewal, joy & beauty - and outdoor living!

When Kenny Griner was a young boy, he learned to throw a cast net and soon developed a love for all things Seafood.

He opened Chet's Restaurant in Pensacola 25 years ago but made the decision to go smaller with his latest venture, Grayton Seafood Co. (GSC). Nestled in the shops of Uptown Grayton, his pride and joy has quickly taken on the reputation as the place to go for the freshest in seafood offerings.

NEAT Bottle Shop & Tasting Room has expanded following the completion of the interiors, as well as updates to the menu. The newly expanded space serves as an extension to the current tasting room, now boasting additional seating for 24 inside and a total of 60 overall.

The design of the new addition keeps with the elements of both the bottle shop and tasting room—wood panels and cozy seating, accented with brass and marble details.

Once upon a time way back during the last century, destiny led Oliver Petit to the site of the Red Bar in the year 1990.

A cook by trade, Oli took a job at the building when it was the Bay Café, not knowing that it would become the place where legends never die. He traveled all the way from the faraway town of Fort Walton Beach - back when there were few signs of life between Destin and Grayton.

“When I got here I almost turned around,” Oli exclaimed.

45 Central in Seaside offers more than just an opportunity for a fantastic happy hour and an excellent dinner, it offers a chance for new experiences with an extensive wines-by-the-glass menu.

So many great memories and so many delicious meals and sunset toasts! Congratulations to one of our favorite restaurants in SoWal for receiving the highest honor from Florida Trend Magazine.
