Mandatory visit from here on out.
This was the first time we went to Back Porch and we went on a recommendation from a friend. I can't say enough about it. It was an almost perfect dining experience. Service staff was awesome, very pleasant and very fast. The atmosphere was great, being right on the beach, very open and airy. The only problem I see with this is that it could be uncomfortable on a hot day. We went in the evening so this wasn't an issue. The food was just superb. It tasted very fresh, was well cooked, well presented and delicious. It is pricey, but I think you pretty much get what you pay for. I highly recommend the calamari and twice-baked potato. Visiting Back Porch will be mandatory every time we visit Destin from here on out.
