    The Foie Gras was fantastic, perhaps the best we've had. Soft shell appetizer with crab meat was great as well. Miles provided excellent service.

    Love this place! Booked a villa for the family in Rosemary Beach, which we found 2 years ago. Family from the west coast were in Destin. I wanted a night out with my husband, and booked Gallion’s. Fell in love with it and Rosemary Beach! Restaurant is beautiful and cozy inside. Staff is outstanding! We loved our server, Harrison, and the manager, Joy, stopped by to see how all was going. Really awesome service, complimented by awesome food. Don’t miss ordering the bread, which comes with flamed herbed butter in the center. What a treat! The ceviche appetizer was delish and appropriately spicy. The Parmesan crusted snapper with crab on top and truffle mashed potatoes under was truly outstanding. Hubby had the beet salad with blackened grouper, others had Caesar salads with different proteins, shrimp and lobster. All were outstanding. For seven, we ordered one carrot cake, best ever ( so moist!)! This place is a true gem! We will be back!

    It was a very positive experience. I had the spinach salad and my husband had the wedge salad. They were both delicious. We both had the grouper which was also very good.
