- MMelodyVIPCentral Kentucky •1 review4.0Dined 3 days agoFood and service was good. Very sad that Ruth's Chris has taken away the harvest salad from their menu. We had ordered dessert, and it was very slow getting to us because of the back up in the kitchen so they gave it to us free which was a very nice gesture.More infoRuth's Chris Steak House - DestinPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Destin•4.8
- JJonathanSan Diego •5 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoThe food was overall well prepared. For the price I would have expected a bit more personal interest from the chef. My risotto was a touch under cooked which distracted from the delicious grouper that was perfect. The service was slow to warm up but friendly and helpful. It was our anniversary and the server placed our dessert on a platter with “happy anniversary” on it. The crust on the crème brûlée was burnt, but the cream was set to perfection. Small details make a difference. The music was club music and a bit loud for a fine dinning experience. Overall would eat here again. Would appreciate a bit more interest from the cooks on the complete meal.More infoCommelfo RestaurantPrice: Expensive• European• Miramar Beach•4.6

Discover Destin
When you're on the beach in Destin, the shimmering water and white sand will make you want to stay forever. Few sights are more beautiful than Florida's Emerald Coast. When you get hungry, the local restaurants have a charming appeal of their own. The seafood is excellent, and a lot of it is cooked with New Orleans-style spices. Cajun broiled crab or shrimp is a good option, and grouper and redfish are always tasty. At some places, customers can bring in their own freshly caught fish to be cooked by the chef. After all, Destin is known as "The World's Luckiest Fishing Village." If you prefer, choose from one of the local Mexican cantinas or Chinese restaurants. You can satisfy your appetite with spaghetti and Italian sausage or New York-style pizza.
