Good spot for drinks and appetizers overlooking the marina/harbor. Lunch is fine, but dinner is very dated and overpriced.

For a ritzy night out, try this oceanfront restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton. Especially the chef's table tasting menu. Try the bar for appetizers and drinks if you want a lower tab.

Local seafood, grilled, fried, or blackened. Prompt, well-priced, fun, casual dining. The chowder is excellent! Picnic-table style.

Local bistro and wine bar. Good array of foods including truffled fries, charcuterie boards, and inventive fish and seafood dishes. Surprisingly underwhelming wines. Walking distance.

Quirky and fun with biscuits that are to die for. Go on "island time" because everything is made-to-order. Grits and eggs are great and your coffee cup will never be empty.

Real local, hippie pizza joint in a strip mall next to the former parole office. Family friendly, down-to-earth pizzas--try the eggplant pizza. Cash only. (Don't say I didn't warn you.)

Best new dinner spot on the island. Excellent cocktails, good atmosphere, great service, and a well thought through and balanced menu of updated Southern cuisine. The fried chicken is delicious if that's your kind of thing. Don't miss the jalapeno honey sauce that comes with it...

Yet another classic Florida seafood place (with everything else, too!) located on the ocean. One of few restaurants and bars actually on the ocean and the only one I recommend. The blackened catch of the day on a salad is excellent, if you're looking for a lighter option. But the swordfish club and conch fritters are also excellent!

A much needed addition to the local food scene. Delicious bao, noodles, and other East and South Asian fusion small plates. Refreshingly different than all the grilled, broiled, and fried Florida seafood joints!

Drinks & Nightlife

A long-standing, venerable bar and restaurant. Don't expect excellent cuisine, but do expect standard fried fare and plenty to quench the thirst...last I checked happy hour was from 11am - 7pm!

Best view on the island for local beers and (not local) wine. Everything from scratch; try the grouper bites, fish dip, and Brussels sprouts.
