Rosemary Beach

About the restaurant

Inspired by El Floridita, Hemingway’s favorite haunt in old-town Havana, The Pearl Hotel's signature restaurant offers a comfortable, communal ambiance full of life and steeped in the joy of living, eating and drinking well.

Enjoy Gulf Coast Americana cuisine with Caribbean influences that is also seamlessly merged with a contemporary local philosophy as meats, fish and produce are harvested from family-owned, small-producers on the Gulf Coast.

Papa Hemingway himself would’ve loved the hand-carved mahogany bar, the perfect spot for enjoying an expertly muddled cocktail, craft beer or fine wine after a day of running with the bulls or battling the mighty marlin.

Havana Beach Bar & Grill is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Dinner reservations are recommended.

An excellent find! We were in town for our daughter's graduation from FSU, and had a great dinner at FGF. Some of us had combos of small plates, some had pasta, all was very well prepared. I had fried quail and the potato/leek soup with crab. Both were delicious. We were also really happy with the vibe -- away from campus, it felt refreshingly cosmopolitan.

Pompano Joe's takes tremendous pride in serving Gulf seafood to its guests. If it lives in the Gulf, you will most likely find it on our menu. Our seafood is delivered daily and it is handled with great care from the minute it arrives at our door to the time it arrives at your table. Our standards are high and it shows in the presentation and flavor of every seafood dish we serve. We're a neighborhood beach place where you can "savor the flavor" of the Islands!

The food and service were excellent here! We loved the quinoa bowl, smash burgers, and the jalepeno chicken! Great atmosphere especially if it’s chilly out to smart a window seat so you can enjoy looking at the beach. Great service too!

On a busy day (2 graduations in the town) the host welcomed and provided great hospitality. Waiter was prompt once we were seated, from ordering to checking out, he ensured we were taken care of. Food was delicious, hands down very good service. Keep up the good work!
