The Very Best Restaurants in Destin

This list is comprised of the best restaurants according to the locals.
This is a local favorite. And the best part is not very many tourists know about it. It doubles as a bar, but don't let that fool you because the food is fantastic. My wife and I recommend the fresh seafood and vegetarian options.
