A Henderson Beach Resort & Spa production, the Primrose offers pure elegance at every turn. Their signature dining experience starts with an exquisite setting right near the waterfront, giving you coastal views to remember throughout your meal. On top of that, they only serve the finest creative cuisine while providing exceptional service always.
At this popular Destin restaurant, each day starts with a full-scale breakfast for resort guests and anyone else who wants a taste. Then, they close up shop until 5pm to get ready for a dinner service to remember. On Wednesday through Sunday only, the team rolls out their sushi menu, making it easy to fill up on top-notch seafood every time.
No matter when you come by for a bite to eat, you’ll get to choose between seats in their dining room or out on the patio. Hardwood tables, wicker chairs, and nautical accents throughout give their indoor dining space an upscale beach chic aesthetic. But for the best views in the house, the patio is where you want to be. Either way, you can expect your server to warmly welcome you into the restaurant, and then help you get cozy at your table of choice.
Upon getting settled in, it’s wise to move through each course with care. Start with cocktails, beer, or wine and an appetizer to share with your tablemates. Then, move onto your entrée before finishing up the experience with dessert, like their exceptionally good Vanilla Bean Cake. All along the way, you’re sure to end up absolutely dazzled by the artistry used to plate each dish.
After ogling your selections – and perhaps getting a few snaps for the ‘Gram – be sure to take your time in savoring all the robust flavors built using fresh ingredients and time-honored recipes. Chef Gary Palm flexes his culinary expertise in everything he makes whether it’s the Buttermilk Pancake Stack or their signature 1855 Black Angus 8oz Prime Beef Tenderloin. Whenever it’s available, their sushi is second to none as well, so you really cannot go wrong when making your selections.
Don’t miss out on the:
Classic Bloody Mary
A true breakfast hour favorite, the Classic Bloody Mary promises to kick your day in high gear. They make this iconic drink by mixing New Amsterdam vodka with their house-made mix. After that, they take it to the next level with lemon, olive, and Worcestershire sauce before celery hops in for a swim.
Tenderloin Hash
To start your morning with beefy deliciousness, go with the Tenderloin Hash, for sure. The chef makes this dish by dicing six ounces of high-quality tenderloin and sautéing it to perfection. Then, he fries Idaho sweet and red potatoes with garlic and onion before adding the tenderloin to the mix. To finish it up, two eggs made sunny side up land on top right at the end.
Duck Confit Shepherd’s Pie
The Duck Confit Shepherd’s Pie never fails to delight with its rich, bold flavors and comfort food aesthetic. To create this dish, the chef slow cooks duck in its own fat before dicing it and adding mirepoix veggies. Once that’s combined, creamy mash potato goes over top along with a bit of pancetta crisp. After that, it all goes into the oven until hot, bubbly, and ready to delight your taste buds.
If you love alcoholic beverages, you’re in luck when visiting this Destin favorite. Their handcrafted cocktails are the star of the show, but there are plenty of great red and white wine varieties available as well. Prefer a brewski instead? Go with domestic or import brews by the bottle all throughout your meal.
