we joined the dargs for a really special evening at D&K Cafe in Grayton Beach last night. What a truly wonderful and unique dining experience - it was funn to watch the Grayton Beach nightlife from the table as we enjoyed wine and the most amazing new orleans cuisine. The interior is beautiful, warm and cozy, and romantic! I felt like I was in New Orleans!

And the Food! I don't know where to begin - except to say that every bite was divinely delicious! I can't wait to try every single thing on the menu.

Thank you for taking the time to visit with us Kathy and Doug! D&K Cafe will no doubt be a special place for us and many, for special occasions or any time we feel like celebrating exceptionally good food and good friends.

I say the new D&K was well worth the wait. okay, I miss the fish sandwich at lunch on the outdoor deck. But, the new menu and the special night time ambience is well worth the sacrifice.:wub:

Hey Tootsie and Kurt:
Is terrace gone completely???? Looks that way from the street but I was hoping that maybe it is there (I know - wishful thinking....) - my whole thing about living here is that there are plenty of good places to eat here and unfortunately way too few where one can dine outdoors, let alone in one with view of the Gulf - and the old D & K had that!!! (sob sob....) I am just feeling sorry for myself!!!

IKT- I'm not shy about pictures of me posted on SoWal- but there are a few rules. No triple chins (double is sometimes acceptable), no food in teeth, no big mouthfuls of food, no laughing hard with food in my mouth, and no pics after the second bottle of wine has been opened. I don't think any of the pics you took will work!:floor: :floor:

Can you put a drive-through in so I can come by for some seafood dip? I am having dreams about it.:wub:

Okay you guys and girls here are a few pictures of Kurt's Birthday Night out at D&K's. I've been told to be discreet. So I will post and not comment leaving you to come to your own conclusions. It was a FUNN night! thanks for coming in!!!!

Oh I will say that there was some intense conversation going on....and Kurt and Tootsie were on fire that night. I think they needed the "private" room! 😱 :clap_1: And, don't you just love those sweethearts, the Dargs!:wub: :wub: :wub:

Come Back Soon!

I had a most excellent grilled NY Strip with succulent fried shrimp, and perfect sauteed vegetables with saffron rice. The service and company was superb.

He was... wasn't he! Bdarg was having intense conversation too with Tootsie!....while Jdarg, Kurt, and I were laughing our heads off. I took some other pictures of the two of you but they were too dark :( NEXT TIME!

:wub: :bow: :wub: Thanks to all my Sowal friends for your support and kind words!:wub: :bow: :wub: You can't imagine how it feels. It is such hard work. We have a great team that make it all possible. The waite staff has been with us for 5 years...they stuck with us through that renovation! And, through training. Doug can make anything wonderful...he just has that touch! Jamie, AKA the ShadowMan, runs the floor with perfection and for me....well, that's a story for another time!

:drink2: IKT

Thank you DKA....you have been out there giving (The New) D&K's a SHOUT!:clap_1:

well, then I'll show and tell what I had for dinner at D&K Cafe!

starter: stuffed shrimp wrapped in bacon over cheese grits (OMG)

and I shared jdarg's to die for seafood dip with garlic bread - she was so gracious to share but I could tell she wanted to bite my hand off.

entree: stuffed snapper with seafood cream sauce (the fish was lightly breaded/pan fried and perfect. topped with seafood in a cream sauce - really decadent).

drink: we shared a few bottles of pinot noir - just the right touch for our meal.

sorry, no food pix...
