Pensacola area

Now that you say that ...

Your earlier comment reminded me of a conversation my friends and I started last weekend: where's the "next spot." One guy mentioned "Sullivans Fish Camp." A few of us quickly said, "no, new place. We've all been there.' Then he mentions the guy from "Fig" took it over and the end of last year. "Fig" is ... well, that kind of place. It's not a place where the waiting staff are dressed in tuxedo's, but it's close.

It's a fish house that's been taken over by a culinary chef. I glanced at the menu; things like crab claws with jalapeno-cilantro sauce stuck out.

There's a new chicken joint that has opened. We know who opened it so it's on the list.

To your point about the steak house. There's a new one that has the white coated, tuxedo wearing waiting staff: Bellarose Hotel Bar. It looks nice! But, no idea who is behind the food. All I know is they are going for as much of "feel" as they are "food."

I'd bet that 20 or so new places have opened this year and 80 percent can be traced back to another place/chef. It's a question here, for us at least. "Who" as much as "where."

Yeah the owner operator of prime is from Bali. He also has sake cafe (Asian cuisine). He’s been in Pensacola for 20-25 years. Dude can cook.
