Proposed to my bride for a second time in the wine room!

“We had a truly spectacular dinner in the wine room. Service was second-to-none. The food was wonderful. The staff couldn't have been nicer or more attentive...highly professional. They really made this very special night so memorable and positive for us. My wife likes the new ring, too... ;-) ”

Lived up to expectations

“Wow lobster beignets! Steaks perfectly cooked. Twice baked potato...enormous and rich and delicious. Service impeccable. Live piano was a lot of fun--requests were taken and remember to tip! Will absolutely eat here again.”

Truly 5-star

“The ambiance is romantic and can be a great restaurant for a business dinner. All tables had lighted candles. Staff are dressed professionally for their responsibilities. I watched the executive chef call the orders to his kitchen. Other team members made flambé, poured drinks, etc. Food-Expensive, but worth it. I had a steak and my friend had the 20ounce lamb chops ($65--I think). We ordered steak fries. They were huge potato logs seasoned with herbs. Every bite of our meal was delicious!”

Dinner

“We had been meaning to try this place out for months but unfortunately never remember it at dinner time (it's a little bit out of the way.). I am so sad we did not try it sooner! One of the best steaks I have had in The Destin area. Actually everything we had was fantastic. Can't wait to go back! ”

An amazing dining experience!

“It was my daughter in laws birthday and I wanted to treat them to a 1st class meal. Well, that's exactly what we got, A1, 1st class meal. Everything was cooked to perfection. We had a lovely private room that had such ambience. We had a very nice waiter named Patrick. He helped to make this a great dining experience too. We started off with an espresso martini that was great. We all had appetizers, my son and I shared the Cesar salad that was prepared table side. My daughter in law had lobster bisque. We all had filets that melted in your mouth and cooked to perfection. We opted for 4 different sides, onion rings, sautéed mushrooms, asparagus, and delicious steak fries. I can honestly say this is one of the best meals I've ever had. The total experience was fantastic! We topped it off with banana foster and that too was prepared tableside. I would highly recommend this restaurant and I can't wait to go back when I get back up to Destin.”

The Place to go for steaks

“We have visited this restaurant about twice a week every year when we go to San Destin for a week. Service here is impeccable, the wine selection fantastic and the meals are truly wonderful. Their steaks are all prime and there's no doubt about it. For sides, try the truffle fries or macaroni and cheese. This is a fine dining restaurant but who doesn't love mac and cheese? I can't wait to return.”

Excellent

“Excellent! My husband and I were here for a celebration dinner and everything was perfect!! We will dine here again:))”

This was an amazing experience.

“This was an amazing experience. From the delicious food to the quick and attentive service, this restaurant is one of the best. We were celebrating our wedding with a small wedding party in the secluded wine room and couldn't have felt more relaxed and attended too. Our server was very knowledgeable and my husband ordered one of the described nightly specials - grilled boar chops - amazing. I ordered the Filet Mignon and the mashed potatoes on the side. Make sure you have some one to share your sides with as they come in big portions. The steak and boar chops were seasoned perfectly and cook exactly the way we wanted. The potatoes were velvety and very enjoyable. You feel very taken care of as your 1st course dinner ware is removed and replaced with the second or dinner course dinner ware. This restaurant also has an extensive wine and drink menu all conveniently on an IPad they hand you for choosing beverages for individuals as well as the table. For special occasions this place is highly recommended. For good food and a good atmosphere, this place is also recommended.”

Absolutely amazing!

“ Top 5 restaurant for me in U.S. because of the steak and wines! The chocolate soufflé is also incredible. We had the same waiter - 2 years apart since last visit! He is fabulous!”

Best restaurant ever in my book!!

“Its where we celebrate our anniversary every year. I have never had a steak as delicious as their filet. Its incredible. The baked potatoes, the lobster bisque soup, the creme brulee, its all scrumptious. Scotts service was perfection. So friendly, eagar to please, and pays attention to every detail...This is my all time favorite restaurant I cannot wait for our trip every year to Seagars. There is no better dining experience or more delicious food than Seagars in my opinion.”

My favorite restaurant in DESTIN!

“The food is excellent, the service impeccable and the atmosphere inviting. The Captain recommended the pork belly appetizer topped with calamari and the stone crab claws entree, and both were excellent! Their steaks and seafood are always the best quality and they have an extensive, notable wine list. I never miss dining here several times per year that I visit Destin for business or pleasure”

Best Filet EVER!

“I've eaten at some of the finest restaurants in NYC where 5 star doesn't even begin to describe the experience. Seagars had not only the finest service and ambiance but the BEST - 10oz filet I've ever eaten. You will NOT find a better steak ANYWHERE. Worth every dollar spent! Hats off to a wonderful establishment. You made our evening a night to remember....Very Impressive! Thank you”
