Seaside
Bud & Alleys
Seaside's finest restaurant has been an attraction for more than 18 years.  Nightly specials keep residents and visitors on a continuous trek to the restaurant, as does the Gulf view from the Tarpon Club dining room.

Seagrove Beach
Café Thirty-A
A full menu including seafood, beef and chicken dishes...also gourmet pizza....pricey...some people will dress up....elegant atmosphere. Tuesdays at the cafe are martini nights.  After a cocktail or two, try the pan-seared yellow fin tuna, the seared golf shrimp, or the oven roasted black grouper.

Angelinas
Moderate price Italian...pizza, pasta and salads...very good! 

Wheelhouse
Serves breakfast, lunch and dinner...not very expensive...more of a country restaurant.

Watercolor

One of the most beautifully decorated restaurants in the area...pricey ....more dressy with great water views. Celebrates Southern art and nature with a fire-and-ice theme, anchored by an exhibition grill kitchen and an ice bar bearing fresh seafood and suchi specialtiies

Rosemary Beach
Summer Kitchen
A cute little café with great salads and gourmet sandwiches...they do a more elaborate dinner menu ...but we haven't tried it yet.

Cowgirl Kitchen
Our favorite for lunch.. tiny hole in the wall... sit outside, have a cold beverage and enjoy a great afternoon at Cowgirl Kitchen.  Watch for their golf cart cruisin around Rosemary Beach and Seacrest!
