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.

When we parked we were by the outside bar area and walked through it to get to a hallway to the restaurant lobby. It must've been on the other side of the entrance because we didn't see it. You have options of an outside beach bar, indoor bar, inside restaurant, indoor restaurant seating with views of the sound/bay, or seating on the outdoor deck. We could see the view from our indoor table and it was nice. They have some warm rolls served with their in house churned butters! My gawd! I think the honey butter is my favorite but the strawberry butter was delicious too! These are a great start to the meal. We both ordered the stuffed grouper which was stuffed with the crab cake mix topped with shrimp & covered with a garlic cream sauce. It was good. Mine had some fish bones in the fillets and I could do without the stuffing. It was more mushy than I'd like but I'd order the dish again sand the stuffing or ask them to cook it outside the fish so it's not as mushy. The garlic green beans were good. They had a Woodford double oaked smoked. Old fashioned as a drink special. It was decent. They could've left the smoker top on a tad longer and definitely they need a large block ice. It was essentially a small block cube in the glass. I'd go back if we returned to the area. It was our first time in Navarre but probably won't be our last. The service was good; our server was friendly. I wish I could remember her name but she said she's traveled all a long the east coast and is from MD maybe and that their crab cakes rival those in Annapolis . That might be but not the ones in Baltimore..

But if you dine outside, it's a different experience. It's a fun spot to come especially during happy hour + sunset hour. Happy hour specials are pretty great. There is usually a live band, and the sandy area is nice to lounge in with swings and space if you have kids for them to play. But every time we have ordered food for the outdoor area, it is either the wrong order, not good, or the oysters Rockefeller showing up with spinach artichoke dip in the oyster shells and not one oyster. If you want a good dining experience, avoid ordering through the bar area outside!

The appetizer: A must .3 meatballs served in a flavorful sauce .It is all about the sauce and they definitely got it right with Italian tomatoes from Italy and enough to dip our homemade Italian bread. So good we couldn't stop. Our Florentine pizza was equally exquisite .With spinach ,garlic ,tomato sauce and mozzarella. This was a perfect blend of flavors served hot and steamy . The owner even told us to wait 45 seconds so as to not burn our mouth since it came from a 700 degree oven. Would absolutely return every time came back to this area for the spectacular service and atmosphere.
