Restaurants near Palmetto Dunes Plantation

Food and service was excellent as always - very good selection of fine wines by the glass

We visit the island 2-3 times a year and have always had our list of restaurants that we have to get to while here. Ela’s is now on that list for all future visits. My husband had the Yellowfin Tuna, which he said was the best preparation he has ever eaten. I ordered the steamed lobster with risotto, it was delicious. For dessert we split the chocolate peanut butter pie and actually had to take half of it home because it was a generous portion. From the tasty homemade bread and hush puppies to the dessert, everything was decadent. Service was extraordinary as well, with multiple wait staff working together to make sure dishes were delivered and cleared quickly. Lastly, the view was great, even though we came as the sun was going down and it was drizzling outside, the lighted deck and lighted walkway illuminated the marina area. Looking forward to seeing it in the light of day.

The Baja salad is my favorite. My husband always enjoys the fresh oysters.

Absolutely Fantastic Food Service and wonderful Bar Tender. Eric makes the best drinks and Donna’s service at our table was fabulous. My Prime Rib was one of the best I have had in a while and my wife had the Mahi which was outstanding. Great place for dinner.

My husband ordered the duck & he said his was cooked perfectly - medium rare. The scalloped potatoes & veggies (green beans & carrots) were also delicious. He cleaned his plate. I had the smoked salmon appetizer which was good, not much different than what can be found in Costco or ordering online - it came with a lovely horseradish & dill sauce. I also had the crab, avocado appetizer which was more interesting. We had an early reservation which is what I prefer to eating later, but there were people waiting by the time we left around 6:30.
