Our Family's Favorites

Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar

Island-inspired plates and cocktails in a breezy open-air setting located in Grand Boulevard. The ahi tuna appetizer, lobster bisque, and fish tacos are our favorites. Reservations are welcome!

Old Florida Fish House

A laid-back waterfront spot on the bay side of 30A. The sunset views over the water are hard to beat. Perfect picture taking opportunities throughout the restaurant. Can not go wrong with the catch of the day and must try filet! Cash-friendly and accepts reservations.

Lost Pizza Company

Fun vibe and great pizza made with fresh ingredients. A variety of other menu options. Good for families, fast, and reliably good. We can't pick a favorite pizza, depends on the mood of the day!

Buffalo Jacks

Great pizza, even better super meaty wings, burgers and more! Laid back, casual sports bar with a huge menu. Perfect for families that can't decide where to go because there is something for everyone.

Sushimoto of SouthWalton

Small family run restaurant with a variety of creative and traditional sushi options and Japanese dishes. The tuna tataki and the spicy yellowtail are amazing starters. Space is limited so large group option is limited. Reservations are not available, so make sure you get there a 10 minutes before each dining time. Seems like a lot of rules? Yes, they focus on cleanliness and quality! TOTALLY worth it! Amazing food and the friendliest service.

Mimmo's Ristorante

A longtime local favorite for Italian dining. The pasta is made in-house and the portions are generous. Great pizza, great drinks. Comfortable and laid back environment.

Craft Bar

A rotating list of local and regional craft beers on tap, simple menu, great burgers, and a relaxed atmosphere that works for both a quick drink and a full evening. Visit the Grand Boulevard location on Mondays after 5:00 PM for their burger night. Happy hour daily from 2-6!

La Crema Tapas & Chocolate

Spanish-style tapas, a serious wine and cocktail list, and a dessert menu built around house-made chocolates. Delicious small plates and amazing dessert options. We highly recommend the molten lava cake/ice cream and the dark chocolate fondue!

Kilwin's on Grand Boulevard

Hand-crafted chocolates, fudge, and ice cream made in-house. Enjoy the The go-to for sushi on the Emerald Coast. The omakase is worth it if you're going with a group, but the à la carte rolls are just as good. The tuna tataki and the spicy yellowtail are the two most-ordered starters. Reservations fill fast on weekends.

Fine Dining Options

Bijoux

A small, intimate restaurant with a menu that changes throughout the year. A local's favorite. The French-influenced cuisine is spot on with fresh local seafood. Must make reservations an time of the year.

Café 30A

One of the original fine-dining anchors restaurants on 30A. The menu changes with the seasons but always centers around Gulf seafood and local produce. The wine list is long and well-chosen. Reservations are a good idea and a must in high season. Always consistent and delicious.

Borago

Simple and delicious Italian cuisine, handmade pastas, and great dessert. Ambiance is better for adults only (and we used to take our kids everywhere) and the kids menu is very limited. Perfect for a relaxed date night.

Pescado

Rosemary Beach rooftop dining experience with views over the town square and the Gulf . The menu is Gulf-forward: fresh catches, ceviche, and a raw bar. Go at sunset and stay for the full meal. The views are as amazing as the food.
