Restaurants near Basin Bayou State Recreation Area

Food is delicious, my favorite fine dining restaurant in the Destin area. Love the way they vary the menu, changing up appetizers and sides for the entrees. The food never disappoints.

GREAT PLACE. EVERYTHING WAS GREAT. ENTREES, APPETIZERS, AND DESSERT ALL EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS. WE HAD SAUTÉED MUSHROOMS, CHILLED SEAFOOD TOWER, DIABLO SHRIMP, 35OZ TOMAHAWK RIBEYE, ANGUS RIBEYE, CHIPOTLE LOBSTER MAC N CHEESE. FOR DESSERT WE HAD BANANAS FOSTER & CARROT CAKE. OUR SERVER GAVE US OLIVE OIL CAKE AND HOMEMADE WHIP CREAM TO TRY. A LITTLE EXPENSIVE BUT OVERALL IT WAS VERY ENJOYABLE.

After a poor experience last time (October)with hostess’ lack of professionalism, it was much different this time & they were welcoming. Kari and Juan took care of us and were amazing with recommendations. The food (cornbread, holiday flatbread, halibut & seafood platter) & wine pairing is what keeps us wanting to come back. Great work, Kari and Juan and Kitchen Staff!

We had a vey wonderful experience at Tommy Bahama's in Sandestin last evening. The food was wonderful and the service was spot on. I wished to especially thank Lara the hostess as I left my mobile phone in the men's bathroom and they held it for me for about two hours until I returned. Great service overall. Chris was the Manager this particular evening.

My family and I have been coming to Pazzo Italiano on Christmas Eve for dinner for the last 8 years. We’ve gone to your location in Destin and since you’ve opened in Santa Rosa Beach, we’ve been coming to this location. It is our family tradition to come here and it will continue to be. (We eat here many other times during the year too). Your entire staff are wonderful and the quality of food and how it’s prepared is delicious!! We always have a wonderful dining experience!! Thanks again for a wonderful evening! Merry Christmas to the entire Pazzo Italiano family.
