We visited The Local Market because we kept hearing they had "the best Cuban in Destin." After…read moreeating there, I honestly do not understand the hype at all. First off, this is not a real Cuban sandwich. The bread was completely wrong. Real Cuban bread, especially if you've ever had one from Ybor City in Tampa, has a very specific texture and press. I even explained before ordering that I only wanted the outside pressed and toasted, while the inside stays cool. That's how an authentic Cuban is made. Instead, they brought out a sandwich that was heated completely through. The meat, cheese, everything inside was hot. It completely ruined the sandwich. When I politely asked about it, the employee seemed irritated and had an attitude about remaking it. They eventually brought another one out, but honestly it still was not good. The bread tasted wrong and the sandwich itself just wasn't enjoyable. It got worse from there. My grandson ordered chicken tenders and fries. The tenders were bad, and the fries tasted like old grease that should have been changed hours earlier. My wife ordered a shredded chicken and cheese sandwich that honestly smelled questionable, like the chicken may have been turning. The final straw was the fruit cup having visible mold growing in it. At that point we lost our appetite and decided to leave. Very disappointing experience overall. Poor food quality, bad execution, and not worth the money. We will not be returning.

The setting itself feels authentic too as many Mediterranean restaurants feel like you're in someone's home. The issue that some might have is with service, they are friendly but it takes a bit to get things done. You have to bring your patience. Excellent food.

Do Not Waste Your Money you'll be Completely Disappointed...$88 w/ tip for a meal that left us…read morehungry and angry. Red Onion is a masterclass in how NOT to run a Mediterranean restaurant. First The Menu Bait-and-Switch Their website menu and a customer-posted menu are identical both promise pita bread and tzatziki with entrees. We ordered based on that. When we called after getting home asking where these items were, they claimed it was "an old menu posted by a customer." Except their website/menu online says the same thing. Either fix your menus or stop lying to customers. The Portions were pathetic when told they were good sized and oh man the food was Flavorless! For $79 + tip, we got portions embarrassingly small. The grape leaves? Cold, wet, and bland could barely eat three. The rice was lifeless. The $37 "Fish of the Day" tilapia had ZERO flavor and no lemon even basic Mediterranean cooking demands lemon. The $30 salmon kabob was mediocre-sized and barely filling. Everything tasted like it was prepared with zero seasoning and zero effort and no soul. We had to season our own food at home. Our server was too busy with personal conversations to help properly. When handing us our to-go food, she literally said, "I didn't put gratuity on there but you guys can if you want" like she was doing us a favor by separating the hot items from the cold. We tipped anyway because we're good Samaritans when it comes to eating out. When we complained by phone, the response was hollow: "I'll let the Owner know to fix it" the only positive thing: Location is easy to find. That's literally it. The building is rundown, interior cramped with tables crammed together, decor is mediocre at best. Do yourself a favor and skip this place. Better Mediterranean restaurants exist all over Destin. This is a cautionary tale of poor execution, dishonest practices, and staff that clearly doesn't care. 1/5 Stars - Never returning.

The house pickers could have been fermented longer. Tasted more like a cucumber than pickle. Got Diet Coke and it was a bit flat but maybe it was because it was a non Coca Cola brand that was made with real cane sugar? It was 40 ish dollars for 2 meals which is pricey but considering the area I guess it is fair. Would go back again.

Overall, our guy did a very good job. Appetizers. The best part of the meal. The mushrooms were very good and the hush puppies were as good as I've ever had. The shrimp were so so. The sides were average at best. It was somewhere between McDonald's and Applebees. My ribeye was ordered medium but arrived shoe leather. I left half of it. The grouper was good but not great. Great views, a little cramped, people at the bar with no shirt and no shoes.

When I'd gotten back to the hotel I was irritated, because they didn't provide me any syrup. Needless to say, I didn't need the syrup, there were some preserves/ jelly included and it was amazing. They were perfectly cooked and they tasted amazing. The omelets were huge and they have these breakfast fries that were seasoned to perfection. All in all, I see why they had a long wait and line out the door. Next time we come, I'll definitely come early enough to eat inside.

Took the day off on Friday, so my friend and I decided to grab a late lunch at Cafe Destin. From…read morethe moment we walked in, we were greeted right away and handed menus. We were told to sit anywhere we wanted and, once we knew what we wanted, just head up to the counter to place our order. We both decided on the breakfast burrito--my friend got theirs with bacon, while I went with ham. The burritos came out on paper plates with plastic utensils, keeping things very casual and laid-back. The burritos were cooked perfectly and came out fresh, rather than sitting around. The potatoes that came with them were great as well and paired nicely with the burrito. Overall, Cafe Destin is a great casual spot for breakfast or lunch. The food was fresh, the service was friendly, and everything came out just right. I'd definitely recommend giving Cafe Destin a try!

The space has a cool indoor/outdoor setup, and the night we went they had live music, which made the whole place feel really lively. We sat inside but could still enjoy the music while catching some basketball games. The menu leans Mediterranean and everything looked incredible. We started with the tzatziki, shrimp wonton rolls, and potstickers. All three were great, but the shrimp wonton rolls were my favorite. For my main, I ordered the grilled shrimp pita (loaded with shrimp) with fries--definitely hit the spot. Around the table we also had burgers, a Mediterranean bowl, and pork belly tacos, and everyone loved their meals. We were so full we didn't even make it to dessert. Overall, great vibe, great food, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out--just plan on taking an Uber or Lyft since parking is limited.
