kid friendly suggestions

[Relaxing Mommy]

My husband and I have not been to the area in years, but we will be there next week with our 18 month old. We love to cook, so we can't wait to find a good seafood shop. However, I was wondering if you could suggest a few kid friendly restaurants. Our 18 month old is pretty well behaved, but he does like to laugh REALLY loud, so we need something with a good noise level where we won't get glares. We love Criolla's and Cafe 30-A, but don't think we will make it there this trip. Any suggestions - breakfast, lunch, and dinner would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

On the East End of 30-A you have
WIld Olives (Rosemary-outside eating)
Summer Kitchen (Rosemary-outside & some inside eating)
Seacrest Cafe (outside and inside) Seacrest Beach
Spicy Noodle (Inlet Beach)
Shades (very end of 30-A, outside and inside eating)

I think that takes care of the East end......

We found Bayou Bills at Carillon family friendly. Expensive, but family friendly.

Since you will be close to Grayton there is always Red Bar and several in Blue Mt. Beach. Most restaurants (except the 2 you mentioned) are very well suited for small children.

Hibiscus in Grayton...yum ...Stinky's Fish Camp in Dune Allen

Sunday is always beach day and then we stop by the Red Bar and catch the tail end of Dread Clampitt. There is usually all kinds of kids running around and at nite Rebecca takes awsome care of the little ones and yes they have the cartoon network for the adults.

We took our 3 1/2 yr old to criollas last month and there were several families with small children. I was surprised. THey seem to put all of us in a seperate dining area which was fine with us. I suggest going early. It was so nice to have a great meal. Not as relaxing as we are used to but still nice!! We also go to old florida fish house in Seagrove. another broken egg is great too! Have fun! That is a fun age at the beach!

Besides the places already mentioned: Cantina Laredo in Grand Blvd, Seagrove Village Market, Hurricane Oyster Bar (Grayton), 98 Bar B Que, 331 Cafe.

If you find yourself in Destin, and wanting to grab something quick, Zoe's in Destin Common has good sandwiches and is right next to the kids' play area there.

Destin sit-down- Osaka is very kid-friendly, and if the little ones get squirmy waiting for food, you can take them outside to look at the koi ponds.
