Absolutely fantastic! I'm so excited to have found a new restaurant in Destin that takes reservations! The food was exceptionally fresh, and the cocktails were a real pleasure!
We booked a cozy table at this exceptional restaurant hidden in Destin and were thoroughly impressed from beginning to end. The ambiance is elegant and calm, yet lively with energy. The lighting is romantic without making it difficult to read the menu. Our server was both knowledgeable and attentive. The dishes are fresh, offering a creative twist on familiar classics. The prices were fair considering the excellent quality and overall experience. We will definitely return and highly recommend it!
The food, desserts, and cocktails at Bitterroot are outstanding! I truly adore this restaurant. Every dish is crafted with meticulous care and attention to detail. It’s my top choice in Destin.

However, we have encountered issues with the service. Every time we visit, the male servers (as I've only interacted with them) have come across as almost rude. We’ve often found ourselves waiting quite a while before anyone attends to us, and when they do, it feels like they would rather be anywhere else. Our inquiries about the menu seem to irritate them, which is not what you would expect from an upscale establishment. Because we truly enjoy the food but can no longer handle the service, we’ve decided to switch to takeout instead of dining in. As a business owner myself, I understand how challenging it can be to find good employees. I hope they can address these service issues in the coming year, as the food is undoubtedly excellent.
Bitterroot in Destin delivers a polished farm-to-table experience with seasonal, creative dishes—think coconut-lemongrass short rib, Szechuan wings, and a standout wagyu burger—paired with inventive cocktails and thoughtful desserts. The elegant, romantic dining room is calm yet lively; reservations and brunch are available, and amenities include clean restrooms and ample parking. Diners praise fresh ingredients, fair pricing, and a rotating menu. Note: service can be inconsistent and the dining room has run warm for some guests, leading some to favor takeout.

Can’t recommend this place enough — we came for my graduation celebration and enjoyed every bite of food. Loved the arancini and whipped ricotta for appetizers. The short rib was the best of the entrees. The ambiance is beautiful but will warn you thatthe restaurant is kept a little warm (especially for Florida)— we were sat right by the thermostat which read 77 degrees.Otherwise, great meal and will be returning!
Great dining experience! Amazing food cocktails. Romantic casual atmosphere. They change their menu every 4 months. Can’t wait to come back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday Brunch at Bitterroot. The cocktails, appetizers, and main dishes were all outstanding, and the staff was wonderful. It was a delightful experience, and we will certainly be back!
I can't recommend this place highly enough! We visited to celebrate my graduation and enjoyed every single bite. The arancini and whipped ricotta appetizers were delightful. The short rib was the standout among the entrees. The ambiance is beautiful, but I should mention that the restaurant tends to be a bit warm (especially for Florida). We were seated right by the thermostat, which read 77 degrees. Other than that, it was a fantastic meal, and I look forward to returning!
My husband and I had our first visit here, and we absolutely loved it! We sat at the beautiful bar and shared several starters; all of them were delicious! My favorite was the short rib flatbread. They also have an excellent wine list, which is better than many other places. The craft cocktails were fantastic too!
