Fodor's Review:

Time your appetizers to arrive at sunset here and you'll witness the best of both worlds: sea oats lumbering on gold-dusted dunes outside, and a stylish interior that sets new standards of sophistication for the entire Panhandle. Colorful, handblown glass accent lighting that "grows" out of the hardwood floors, plush taupe banquettes, oversize handmade lamp shades, and a sleek bar area that screams New York (complete with a cloud-white curtain-wall) create an atmosphere worthy of the inventive cuisine. Influences range from Asian (Thai-style grouper with lobster-coconut broth) to Southern (Low Country shrimp and scallops with creamy grits) to classic Continental (porcini-crusted osso buco), but all are convincingly wrought and carefully presented. The extensive wine list keeps pace with the menu offerings.
