Niceville Restaurants

Had a great meal at Emeril’s Coastal. Other than sitting next to the door to the kitchen with the constant traffic in and out (with a late obtaining of reservation beggars can’t be choosers) everything else was great. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The tuna wraps for appetizer were very tasty. My wife and I each had fish dishes as our entrees (pecan crusted red fish and cedar plank mahi) and both were cooked perfectly. Our desserts were the bread pudding and the olive oil cake and both were very delicious. We would recommend Emeril’s for couples or groups.

Although we missed the sunset due to a colder/rainy day, the atmosphere, ambiance and decor of the restaurant was lovely and very welcoming. A very nice wine list and menu--so much to choose from. Our party of 8 had everything from the fresh grouper and crab cakes to filet to sushi to pasta and it was all super tasty. Nice portions and very well prepared and plated. A fantastic experience. Since it was the end of the weekend, they were out of our first wine selection, but were helpful in selecting something similar. And a few menu items were 86'd but again, they helped by making some nice substitutions. Although we selected to skip dessert, we were totally tempted by the Butter Cake. Overall, a fantastic dinner, in a great location...definitely see us going back!

We always dine here several times when visiting Destin. We are always pleased

It was our first time dining there and we had reservations with another couple. We all loved the food and the service! Very friendly and helpful staff was a pleasure to interact with. The food was delicious, and we will all definitely be going back. The only negative is that it is a little pricey. Other than that, we were very happy with our dinner experience!

Both the food and service were excellent. Amber was a wonderful server with a sense of humor and a lot of patience. I had the 6oz filet and shrimp, cooked to perfection. My husband had a bone-in filet which he said was wonderful. The sides were a perfect size to split between 2-3 people. The Au Gratin potatoes and Cremini mushrooms were both wonderful. The Brussel Sprouts had a great flavor but could have been cooked just a little longer. The Bread Pudding was good but would have benefitted from a scoop of ice cream. All in all we had a wonderful evening.
