Latest info on Criolla's, Bud & Alley's, Marina Cafe

Coming to Sandestin next weekend, interested in the latest advice on some restaurants....haven%26#39;t read much on TA about the above listed and wondering if there%26#39;s a good reason. We%26#39;ve vacationed in Destin/SOWal area for about 30 years...most recently ate at Cafe 30A,Stinky%26#39;s, Bonefish Grill and Ocean Club.Commanders and Royal B%26#39;s are inticing but being from NOLA we%26#39;d like to dine at some of Destin%26#39;s best. Any comments would be helpful.

Thanks!

Latest info on Criolla's, Bud %26amp; Alley's, Marina Cafe

I am sure somebody else will help me here, but I am pretty sure that Criolla%26#39;s is closed....????

Love to eat at Bud and Alley%26#39;s, great view, great food, and cold beer!

Latest info on Criolla's, Bud %26amp; Alley's, Marina Cafe

We ate at Marina Cafe at the end of September; supurb as always. Have never been disappointed.


Yes, Criolla%26#39;s closed in September.

A good site for 30-A info is www.sowal.com


i am fresh back from kenny d%26#39;s where miss gracie is looking prettier than ever. the bowl of oyster chowder i had was thicker than ever, loaded with oysters, and toppped with a gracious plenty of chopped bacon. it%26#39;s a warm sunny day, perhaps a tad windy, but the water is clean, and as clear as ever.


Well no wonder I haven%26#39;t heard anything about Criolla%26#39;s...several years back that was our favorite. Glad to hear positive feedback on Marina Cafe...have always LOVED the food and atmosphere while enjoying a slightly lower bill than some other places. Will definitely have Bud %26amp; Alley%26#39;s on the list this trip.

Thanks for the always honest and reliable info.


Bud %26amp; Alley%26#39;s is still standing, still awesome. We ate at Marina Cafe about a month. Excellent as always. They have half price wine night on Mondays. :)

If you like sushi, check out the newest Japanese restaurant. Ibishi, I think? It%26#39;s by Old Time Pottery.

If you%26#39;re staying at Sandestin, the pizza place in Baytowne has the best pizza around.


Marina Cafe has 1/2 priced wine on Mon and Tues.

Destin%26#39;s best sushi: Isaribi


K%26amp;D Cafe and the Red Bar in Grayton Beach are both great options. Red Bar has live music, look for Dread Clampit, they are very good musicians. I love Stinky%26#39;s the most but K%26amp;D is a close 2nd for me and their waitress (Natalie or Danielle?) is the best!

Fat Clemenza%26#39;s is in the Miramar area (west of the outlet malls on the south side of 98), they had great Italian food and pizza just look we had in Europe, and the bread, oh my, it was sliced, grilled artisan bread, just thinking about it makes me want to drive there!!

We didn%26#39;t make it to Fire on our last trip but I met their pastry chef at the gym and do plan to make it there on our next trip down.

I still love pizza from Ciao Bella.

Royal B%26#39;s was closed in August, I guess they didn%26#39;t go over well. Summer 07 we had dinner there, my food was great but hubby%26#39;s was not very good and was pretty pricey for the area. Commander%26#39;s Palace is in that new Harbor area and that looks like a very crowded headache to get to! However I think getting into Destin is a headache so these days we don%26#39;t go west of Fat Clemenza%26#39;s until it%26#39;s time to go home!


Not sure, but I believe the Pizza place referred to could have been - Jordano%26#39;s....


If the above poster is referring to the Pizza Place in Baytowne, t is not Jordano%26#39;s. Jordano%26#39;s is located right west of Sandestin.

The pizza place in Baytowne is Roberto%26#39;s Pizza.
