This is our favorite restaurant for dinner!! Lots of people love The Red Bar - same owners and same, limited menu - but we prefer Louis Louis!! They have a small menu, but it’s PERFECTION!! Personal favorite is the blackened grouper served on top of a bacon gritcake and steamed spinach!!
Check their website for details!! Save room for bread pudding or my favorite Key Lime pie on the panhandle!!
Go early and get on the list, no reservations during peak season.

Great restaurant that takes reservations and a rooftop bar with phenomenal views! A little on the fancy side downstairs, but still good for families. My husband calls it, “pretty food”. He prefers upstairs!

You have to check out the quaint town of Seaside. Parking during peak months is a headache, but it’s an easy bike ride or 2 mile walk from our place. There are shops, restaurants and the famous food trucks on the square, across the road and behind the square. It’s worth a visit but you will be glad you aren’t staying there!! (Unless you love crowds and are loaded$$!)

Gorgeous, planned community with narrow streets, tons of walkers and bikes, cute shops and a few restaurants. The Sunday farmers market is always a treat. We are about 6 miles west of Rosemary beach. It’s another one of those areas where parking is sometimes a pain, but fun to walk around and shop!
