“ Amazing ambiance and very intimate but laid back vibe. Good spot for a first date as well the shrimp and grits was incredible, highly recommend, and the creme brulee was a nice dessert to split. There are non-alcoholic drink options but they come in larger sizes, I would love to see single-serving options such as Kin Euphorics, a staple soda drink like Shirley temple, or even espresso after dinner. Because this restaurant has such a unique vibe, I think they could get away with catering to a European audience as well. There’s a few items from the local businesses to shop through at the entrance, hand-written cards hanging from the ceiling, and of course plants for sale all over the place! I really enjoyed visiting and am so happy that this exists near Fort Walton. Their outdoor seating area is really nice too, I can imagine it being a great space for local talent to perform and also little get togethers! It doesn’t seem like there’s a ton of parking and because it is a smaller space, plan accordingly or you may have to park across the street. ”
“ Super cute brunch place! The plants are beautiful and make the atmosphere warm and inviting. You can tell the chef makes each plate individually and with care. Food was delish and worth the bit of extra time it took to prepare. We will definitely be back and looking forward to the new options! ”
“ If I could give 10 stars I would . Lorin and the staff here are some of the kindest most phenomenal people I have ever met. This place feels not like a restaurant, or brunch , but where you’re supposed to be. Amazing food , gorgeous atmosphere, and the best service staff in all of ft Walton !!! ”
“ Came in for the first time, in March, on a Thursday afternoon, for Happy Hour. My friend and I loved everything about this delightful & magical place! We are already planning our next visit! The draft beers were cold, and Emma was a wonderful server, and made sure we had everything we needed! The charcuterie board was beautifully crafted, & the feta dip with warm pita bread was amazing! ”
“ This is the cutest Boutique restaurant in the area that is serving delicious Farm-to-table meals and an excellent wine and beer list. We went out for just a drink and dessert away from the kiddos and it was giving all the right vibes. Definitely wish we could have come here for dinner as well because it all looked so good. Also our service was outstanding! I think our waitress’s name was Valerie and she checked on us constantly and was so sweet to us. Highly recommend checking this restaurant out for a different night out. ”
“ Brunch was delicious! Staff was friendly. Food does take a while because it's made fresh by the chef. Great place for drinks and food. And I love all the plants! We will be back. ”
“ OH. MY. WORD! This place was absolutely delicious! We searched for a seed oil free place in the area and were happy there was one! I was planning to order the salmon most likely but they were out of salmon so the amazing chef made me an alternative fish dish similar to the salmon and it was without question one of the best fish dishes I have ever had! Truly remarkable! Several others in our party ordered the chimichurri steak and raved about it too. Another had the burger and loved it! Another the Marsala and lastly a grilled cheese that looked delicious! The fries were also phenomenal with rosemary and salt! The waitress did a great job and we definitely want to return! Worth every penny! YUM! ”
“ Went for brunch last week and everything was amazing! It’s hard to find a brunch place with more than just your standard breakfast options. Everything we tried was delicious. Oh and can’t forget the mimosas, they make their own flavors you can choose from. Ask for Andre as your server, he’s the best! ”
