  1. Roux 30a

    Eat 79

    Flatware dangling from pot racks overhead sets the tone for this tasting-menu spot on Florida's Emerald Coast: charming, a little offbeat, nothing like the beachy seafood shacks nearby. Communal tables and counter stools facing an open kitchen keep it casual in feel if not in ambition. The kitchen runs a short rotating menu of contemporary American courses built around whatever the season offers. A 2025 James Beard semifinalist for Best Chef: South.

    Two honors, in evidence:

    The record strongest first

    One number, weighted & current 79

    Tasting menu only. The dishes change too often to put on record.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. Most of it is the record: the scored places within reach, weighed by distance, so more good stuff nearby means a higher score. The rest is how life is in that country: how people there rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are, and what they breathe. If it looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
