What are your Top Sowal Restaurants?

[Kurt]

Where is Marie's? I haven't heard of it.

They are relatively new, moving over from Destin, and they are the newest SoWal partner!

There's a map on their SoWal Partner Page to their place in Blue Mountain Beach (in the old Blue Orleans location).

As a visitor, I have had the impression that I would need to dress more than usual attire at Caliza. What would be appropriate for dinner there?

Marie's was our best find visiting Destin and environs this winter. Beautiful, fresh food prepared with love. This little place deserves everyone's support; you will not be disappointed!

Caliza dress is casual. Be comfortable. Just like pretty much any place on 30A attire of the diners at Caliza runs the gamut Some folks will be decked out, some will be in vacation dressy slacks, dresses, deck shoes, high heels others in a summer dresses, shorts and flip flops. Remember, you are on island time here. Relax and enjoy.

Why is no one mentioning Borago? Its been my favorite but I haven't been to Seagrove in 2 years. I hope the quality hasn't falling.

beyond SoWal:
Oishi Thai (Panama City Beach)
Pepito's Mexican (Destin)

someday maybe I can really focus and try to do a top ten. I have a feeling it would be impossible though.
