Best Casual Restaurants in Destin

The food was wonderful and the service and care they gave to us on our anniversary was special. We will definitely go back soon!

This Ruth Chris location did not disappoint. I had the best food and wonderful service. We arrived 45 minutes early and sat at the bar. The bartender was extra nice as we discussed the goat cheese and artichoke dip and toast as opposed to spinach and artichoke dip. We were quickly seated. Our waiter Aaron was very attentive and pleasant. Arthur came by our table a few times to keep our table tidy and was very friendly as well. The Manager stopped by to check on us and our dining experience. We had the barbecue shrimp as an appetizer. We also had the Porterhouse Steak, Sweet Potato Casserole and Brussel sprouts and the food was very delicious. Definitely a 10 out of 10.

We took some friends tom Pazzo who had never been before & they loved it was we did. we had 6 different entrees & all were excellent! Our server did an amazing job. We will definitely return!

After a poor experience last time (October)with hostess’ lack of professionalism, it was much different this time & they were welcoming. Kari and Juan took care of us and were amazing with recommendations. The food (cornbread, holiday flatbread, halibut & seafood platter) & wine pairing is what keeps us wanting to come back. Great work, Kari and Juan and Kitchen Staff!

The food was great. I got the filet and my husband got the shrimp scampi. We both enjoyed our meals and tasted each others, and thought they were good. I felt the steak and mashed was better the other nice restaurants we have been to in the area. I also like my steak medium well, they didn’t give me a hard time and try to talk me out of it like most places do. Only complaint from my husband is they do not have large ice cubes for an old fashioned. Kinda strange a nicer restaurant doesn’t have that. We got the coconut pie and the crème brûlée for dessert. I favored the crème brûlée and he favored the coconut pie, but both were enjoyable. The service was also nice. Our server was very friendly. We would definitely go back.
