A find! Located in a strip shopping center, this is a bistro, bar,
market and wine boutique; very unusl decor and excellent and
friendly service. We dined here in Jan.'04.
<br>
We first went for the Sunday brunch (11am-3pm). Excellent! The
Shrimp/Country Sausage & Grits ($10) was topped with a lemon
butter and corn relish. The Shrimp/Crab & Vegetable Prittata
($10) was topped with roast tomato butter and served with roasted
new potatoes. We had a couple of glasses of a Spanish white wine
($5/glass). They serve their own breads with olive oil sprinkled
with parmessan cheese.
<br>
Dinner appetizers are in to $10 area. Salads are $6. The dinner
menu includes roast Atlantic salman($21), Angus Ribeye Steak
($20) Pecan roasted Chicken Breat ($20), Roast Black Grouper
($23), Spice-Seared Yellowfin Tuna ($25). The special the night
we had dinner there was Rack of Lamb (oustanding) at $24.
<br>
Lunch sandwiches and platters run from $8 to $13 and there's
a "light" menu (11am to closing) at $5.
<br>
An outstanding wine list. There's a wine sampler menu offering
4-5 samples in several categories of wines (the samplers are
$9.50+ and each sampler equals at least a total of 2 glasses of
wine).
<br>
We spoke to other diners and found that we were in the minority:
we had only been here twice! The repeat business appears to be
excellent.
<br>
Restaurant seats less than 50 and a reservation is necessary.
<br>
Of the restaurants we experienced in the Destin, FL area, this
ranks with the Veranda and Bonefish.
