- SStuartBaton Rouge / Lafayette •10 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFThe pineapple upside down cornbread was a bit disappointing, but I got a fabulous salad. My husband & I shared the bacon-wrapped filet, which was served with sautéed spinach, smashed potatoes and a few onion ringlets. It was plenty, and the steak was the best we’ve had in decades! Will definitely return!More infoEmeril's CoastalPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Santa Rosa Beach•4.4

We had the Chicken Marsala, a "meat lovers-type" pizza, a wonderful pappardelle and cream sauce with italian sausage, and a birthday tiramisu. This is the best Italian food around 30A.

Discover Santa Rosa Beach
Santa Rosa Beach has been providing visitors a break from the ordinary for over a century. While the areas around Destin may be most well-known for their sandy beaches and beautiful seascapes, their culinary options are not to be underestimated. As befits a beach community, seafood is the main event here, but that's not to say there's a lack of variety in the options on display. Whether you're looking for comfort food, like lobster macaroni and cheese, or something light and summery, like a shrimp scampi, there's a healthy blend of the regional and international as well as the modern and classical. Sushi is also a popular staple in the region, and you'll find a range of local restaurants that offer Cuban profiles for hungry guests.
