Our dining experience at Gallion’s was excellent! The service was impeccable (thank you Caleb) and the ambiance was festive and fun! The grouper special was fresh served with cheddar polenta, the red snapper entree was one of the best preparations on 30A. We ended the evening with a walk through Rosemary enjoying the lights! Highly recommend!

Rosemary Beach

About the restaurant

Inspired by El Floridita, Hemingway’s favorite haunt in old-town Havana, The Pearl Hotel's signature restaurant offers a comfortable, communal ambiance full of life and steeped in the joy of living, eating and drinking well.

Enjoy Gulf Coast Americana cuisine with Caribbean influences that is also seamlessly merged with a contemporary local philosophy as meats, fish and produce are harvested from family-owned, small-producers on the Gulf Coast.

Papa Hemingway himself would’ve loved the hand-carved mahogany bar, the perfect spot for enjoying an expertly muddled cocktail, craft beer or fine wine after a day of running with the bulls or battling the mighty marlin.

Havana Beach Bar & Grill is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Dinner reservations are recommended.

OpenTable Diner

Dined on Dec 14, 2024

Great experience for our reservation of 20 people. We made the reservation in advance and confirmed it through Open Table but the restaurant is going through renovations and they did not have a host to control the reservations. They were not aware we were coming but the manager (I can't remember his name) was still were able to accommodate us pretty fast. Thank you so much for that! Even though they are having renovations, at the time of our reservation there wasn't much going on so it wasn't noise disturbance. The renovations are promising! Thank you Amanda, our server, for taking care of the group!
