Iconic local steakhouse with the nation's largest wine selection. This steakhouse is like no other. Servers train for years before becoming a waiter. They offer all their guest a tour of their kitchen and wine cellar. Desert rooms are private for each party. The salad you get with every steak is grown in their own garden. Reservations required but if you want to go on a whim, we recommend going to eat at the bar which offer the same choices as the restaurant. Simply let the bartender (Doug) know you want to eat at the bar and he will add you to the bar seating list.

Of all the places to visit along the beach, this is unlike any of them. Unbelievable views of the Gulf and intercostal. Slightly more upscale feeling than the beach bars, but the prices are the same. Unless you plan on going to the beach for sunset, we recommend this is you want a quieter more low key experience.
