No, if you want to live there, they are selling lots behind Nena's and the front will be townhomes.

Have a beach withdrawal! and realized I am on my way in just a couple of weeks! YAHOO! and remembered this thread--going some place special for our anniversary dinner and since I said yes to the free sister in law high rise condo in destin we get to eat out more than one night.
Pulled of the PDF version of votes for restaurants- and ready to get sand between the toes!
beach wide grin! Jen

beach wide grin! JenHere's my restaurant report from Labor Day weekend:
Yianni's - Nice waitstaff, liked the fact that you can bring your own bottle of wine, but wasn't impressed with the food. I had an ordinary Greek salad; my husband had the grouper with their specialty Greek sauce. I thought it was dreadful. The tomato base didn't complement the fish at all. If that was what I had ordered, I'd have scraped the sauce right off. My husband, however, eats whatever is placed in front of him. Plus he was hungry.
Red Bar - What can I say except FANTASTIC! Our waiter, Tyler, was extremely knowledgeable about the menu items. You can tell that young man is a foodie. The atmosphere is well, you all know what it looks like in there! Way cool. You know you're not in the Midwest anymore. :laughing1 I had the eggplant. I could taste the fresh herbs. My husband had the swordfish and it was tender and moist and not overcooked like his wife does it. :roll: It was, in fact, the best swordfish either of us have ever had. We had delectable crabcakes for our apetizer. Not to be missed! The house salad is full of fresh spinach and the house dressing with hints of citrus was nicely balanced and delicious. We rounded our meal out with Key Lime Pie. Made from scratch and heavenly. What I liked the best about the cooking at the Red Bar is that they use un salted butter, which is of superior quality, and fresh ingredients throughout, and they go very easy on the salt, letting the food speak for itself. We plan on eating at the Red Bar every time we visit the beach!
Angelina's - We had pizza and antipasti salad. Pizza very good as always, and promptly served. Salad fabulous! Loaded with salami, provolone, chickpeas, olives...the works. Nicely presented, too. The house red is good.
Seagrove Market Cafe - We ate out on the porch with the semi-feral cat at our feet (we ate very late and were the only ones left, which is probably why the cat wandered in through the hole in the screen). We happen to like animals so this was perfect for us, but I couldn't guarantee the cat would show up if there were lots of people around. Probably a bit of a fluke, actually, since they always repair the screen, but we enjoyed it nonetheless! Now the food: I had a fried oyster poboy, delicious. My husband had grilled chicken, expertly cooked. This place is a nice beachy kind of food place and we've never been disappointed. I love their sweet tea; best on the beach. It's a simple kind of place that we like.
Publix - great submarine sandwiches that kept us well-fed for the rest of the week. Freshly made to order. Throw in a cold sixpack and a party size package of Zapps potato chips and you're all set.

Can someone tell me about the new restaurant in the old Luna Del Mar location?? (not sure if it is in exact spot, but from the sign on 30a at Eastern Lake it makes me think so).....we meant to check it out but ran out of time....THANKS!!
Hi PK305,
I literally just posted this, when I saw your posting! You'll love it!
Have you tried the Old Florida Fish House and Bar, between Seagrove and Seacrest? It's fairly new, located on Eastern Lake just over the bridge, on the left. It must be the old rest. location, you're speaking of. My son Russ is one of their best servers :clap_1: , if I do say so myself! Anyone wanting a server that is very attentive and will provide a wonderful dining experience, should ask for him. If you forget his name, just ask for the big muscular, goodlooking guy, that recently returned form overseas!
One of the owners, also owns Harbor Docks and they've done a GREAT job here, too! They have a diverse menu, unbelievable Sushi and I didn't even care for it, before. The atmoshere is very unique, food's superb, resort casual(have seen people in shorts and T'sl), wall waterfall and more! I haven't heard of anyone, that wasn't extremely pleased! Alot of people are thrilled, to have such a FANTASTIC Restaurant E. on 30A!

Another Broken Egg recently opened in Grayton, in the plaza by Lakeplace and Starbucks. Great breakfasts and good lunches for a reasonable price. Lots of menu selections. Not open for dinner. There's one in Destin and Baytowne too.
And, yes, 30A now has a Subway in between Grayton and BMB. I saw a "Now Open" sign today.

I can't wait to try this restaurant. The location is gorgeous with what looks like a wide-open gorgeous view of the lake, though there was some construction going on nearby. I wanted to stop by several times when we were there in August, but it was only open after 5:00 and we're more of a lunch crowd when we're there with our children. Can anyone on this thread confirm the hours that it's open?
Hey Paula,
The hours for dinner service are 5pm - 10PM 7 Days a Week! :clap_1: The Bar is open later, I believe and boy is it something! 
They have flat screen TV's and surround sound everywhere. Generally, they have great music videos on, mostly. Don't forget to ask for Russ, he'll really take care of ya!
