Came here for happy hour. Buy a carafe for the price of a glass-such a deal! Tried the hummus plate and it was tasty. Service was good, and it is a very casual atmoshere-. We ate outside and other had their doggies along. They have a market inside with many wines and cheeses.Thank you for sharing your experience, Cheryl! We are glad you enjoyed everything and look forward to serving you again next time you're in the area. Cheers!

Stinky's Fish Camp

Stinky's is the best seafood restaurant on 30-A. We offer a selection of fresh Gulf fish every day and a variety of Louisiana-inspired dishes. Very kid friendly.

Long wait here, but actually worth it. We have fun sitting out under the tent with a great drink (or two) while we are waiting for our name to be called. The servers are all great, and friendly.

Reviewed By 719gingerh

We visited Bayou Bill’s a looooong time ago (more than 10 years) and it didn’t leave an impression so it never came up again when we visited Destin. We stopped in when the other restaurant we wanted to go to was closed and we were pleasantly surprised. Place was nice and clean and the menu had been expanded to include some great looking dishes. Everything we had was good the Parmesan Shrimp being the favorite. The salad with the smoked tuna, pimento cheese, and shrimp salad was also great. Service was excellent! We will definitely put Bayou Bill’s back on the list.

We have been coming down to the Destin area for an October beach visit for years and only discovered Louis Louis three years ago. The food is excellent; the decor/atmosphere eclectic; the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about their dishes; the owner is friendly and attentive (although we missed seeing him this is evening). Our food was excellent as usual. Heavy on the seafood (and why not?) you usually have five main entrees to choice from that are recommended for the evening with a few staple dishes that are always served. We enjoyed the Blackened Grouper, served with a salad and rice cake; Penne Pasta and shrimp served with a salad and pork loin served with a salad and mashed potatoes. Everything was tasty and cooked to perfection. For desserts, we had chocolate creme brulee and the best Key Lime pie we have every tasted. The desserts were homemade as was the whipped creme served on the side...heavenly!

Reviewed By Ann K

This was our first visit to Cafe Thirty-A and we went for the 5:00 two for one entree hour. This is a highly rated fine dining restaurant, so we expected a certain ambiance even at 5:00. The place was absolutely jam packed on this Thursday evening and the noise level was so high we couldn’t hear each other across the table. The wine list is fabulous.....quite extensive. Our server explained that certain entrees cannot be paired for the special, so we ordered the lobster and the yellowfin tuna. The lobster came with truffled mac and cheese and was divine. The tuna itself was magnificent but what lay beneath was just way too salty....almost like pure soy sauce. I must say that our server, Don, was wonderful!Valet parking is $5 plus gratuity. We had planned on a more relaxing venue and were really disappointed. Compared to Paradis in Rosemary Beach, this is not even close.Thank you for your feedback. We hope you will join us again.

Beautiful restaurant that surprisingly seated us in a private room for our friend’s birthday. Drinks and food were wonderful and the service was absolutely amazing! Our server Alex made the night extra special. He is a unicorn (never wrote down one order for a group of 15)...one of the best servers most of our group has ever experienced. Thank you for making our night great.
