This restaurant is like finding a diamond in the desert. Stumbled upon it last year. I've dined all around the states and beyond and this was an unexpected find. Everything is A+! Atmosphere, service and amazing food. Totally worth the 45 minute drive from pensacola!

It was a pleasure to find a restaurant right on the beach that had such a sophistocated menu. The decor was simple and elegant. The ambiance had an upscale feel for a beachside setting. And the food was 5 star. We will definately return, the next time we are in Orange Beach.
