nice/romantic restaurants in destin/sandestin area?

i have to make up valentine's day dinner this weekend and im looking for somewhere nice, and somewhat romantic to take her this year. (not bonefish, olive garden, etc) any ideas/experiences?

luisianna languap is nice.

Go to Harbor Docks , and request a table down near the water ... it's usually enclosed this time of year , so the weather shouldn't be an issue ... their Sushi ROCKS !!

theres a mexican restaruant and a really good steakhouse in this little place called grand blvd.
its like a higher up commons
but its out pastt san destin just a little bit
the mexican place is really good my mom likes to eat there
and she took me to the steakhouse and it was incredible
but its pretty expensive out there.
theres a bunch of shops too
billabong store and some more crap

Ocean Club in sandestin harbor docks in Destin and if you are willing to hit 30-a I say old Boragos....I work for Harbor docks and Ocean Club and their sister restaurant, the Old Florida Fishhouse, I would even say camielles (sp?) on old 98

I was a Sushi Chef at Dharma Blue in Pensacola , it is also owned by Charles Morgan , who owns Harbor Docks and Camille's ... is Vu and Yoshi still at Harbor Docks ?? ... tell Yoshi "Fred" said Hi ... my friend Chris Knight runs Camille's for Charles ... VERY cool guy

If you dont mind spending the money take her to osakas for hibachi its the bomb she should love it dude

Not in Destin but Sealand in Fort Walton is the shiznit.

too bad theyre fully booked tomorrow.

I think he did say on the weekend to make up for tomorrow , so maybe Sealand after Valentines Day won't be as booked ??

Hey pourman, yoshi is still at harbor docks she comes out to old florida on saturdays. she is really awesome, her son works for google (my dream job) when she went to visit him in washington she brought me back a google employee t-shirt!. Lol. anyway I knew alot of the guys like Terry, Cory,Mischa,Toph, and James. I'll probably see Yoshi on saturday I'll tell her you said hi.

You won't get a table tommorrow now...but last year I went to The Melting Pot. It was pretty damn good. Be ready to drop some serious cash though. For me and my girl it was around $85 plus I left $20 for a tip. That was eating cheap and not drinking any wine or anything. Super good service though. They built that new one on 98 heading toward sandestin. I cant remember exactly where.

The new melting pot is across from that shopping center that has the guitar store(go there quite often for parts and see it). I think its almost by where tibs used to be.

Yeah I think you are right.

i was actually really thinking about the melting pot. ive never been, but heard its really good, and you cook your own food? what kind of food do they have though?? i appreciate all the replies. (osaka is the shit btw, but we always go there for my bday )

Man up and cook something. Setup wherever you live all nice like and cook something for her. Wayyyy more heart felt than going out.

Just a suggestion...

Ruth Chris's steak house, by Wal-mart

i cook for her all the time = nothing unusual and special.

Worth a try.

Sappy stuff is usually where it's at though.

i see what youre trying to say. but usually after a couple years with someone, youve already been through 99% of the sappy stuff youre going to.

Yeah, I know... it blowwwws, haha. I was with a girl for almost three years and coming up with stuff got harder and harder.

We had an appetizer where you dip bread and vegetables into the cheese. You get your choice of top of the line cheese that they add a bunch of stuff to. We had swiss cheese with port wine and a couple other seasonings in it.
Then they bring you a salad.
Then the main course we had was an array of different kinds of meats. Duck, pork, steak, etc. The meat is in little chunks that you put on the fondue fork and boil in the pot with whatever flaver boil you choose. You have to leave it in for a while depending on what kind of meat you are eating(i.e. pork takes like 50seconds, steak takes around 30 or so).
Then we got dessert of chocolate melted with gram cracker crushed up in it and some other stuff. We dipped strawberries, and different kinds of cake in that.
Its definately not the place to go if you are super hungry or in a rush. We spent like 2 hours there. It is worth it though.
