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:

We finally made it out last night to D&K. The food was great, the service and atmosphere were excellent, and Kathy couldn't have been nicer. Everything about it was simply perfect.

Thanks for a great evening D&K,

Curtis

Thanks so much Curtis...you have a wonderful family! Beautiful wife and 6 year old son, Jackson, who showed me his martial arts moves. WOW 😱 :clap_1: ......was I ever impressed!!

So happy to meet you and I will be in to check out your new gallery this week! Can't wait to see it.

I will be in New Orleans today and tomorrow.....and probably recuperating Wednesday. Just kidding:funn: 😀

Thank you again for coming in and dining with us!

We are staying in Seagrove for 5 nights beginning this wednesday. Where is D & K Cafe? Sounds like a place we'd like to try out.

:welcome: Ohio Girl! We are located in Grayton Beach on the corner of DeFuniak Street and Hotz Ave....we have a gulf view and are next to the Zoo Gallery and a stone's throw across from the Red Bar. :clap_1:

Call 231-0455 after 2:00 p.m. for better directions if needed and we do take reservations. You can pick up a menu at the bottom of our stairs or there is (usually) one in the Seaside Post Office.

We look forward to having you dine with us. My husband, Doug, likes to say we are casual dining in a fine place! But his food is to die for!!!!!

:welcome: again Ohio Girl

Had dinner tonight at D&K's with BM and hubby and it was scrumptious. :drool:
They had a wonderful selection of wines,impeccable service, and since I am allergic to shellfish, Doug made me a special appetizer of grouper with a lemony garlic topping. The chicken dinner over spinach alfredo was divine. I could eat Doug's 2000 dressing all day every day.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals.

Finally got to meet Kat, and she is so lovely and gracious.
Thanks Doug and Kat for a memorable evening, a beautiful sunset and grayt conversation.:clap_1: ...........and I love, love, love my special gift Kat. :wub: :wub:

It was a wonderful evening with two beautiful women and their husbands adorning our restaurant!!!! Beach Mom has the pictures!! 😱 :blush: 😀

It was a pleasure to finally meet Mango and husband. :clap_1: So glad we could accomodate her allergy to shell fish! This foursome are my kind of people....really knowing the pleasure of dining. No hurrying for these four....they savored every moment out together. In fact, I beat them out of the cafe and home to my PJ's.

I hope I get to see more of ya'll. Beach Mom was as gorgeous as ever, and told us the story of how DrunkenArtist and BeachBummett brought her Easter surprise right to her door. Now that's coool!:wub: :wub:

Thank you thank you for coming in and enjoying our passion.

:welcome: Back my friends!:wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

Nice to meet you Katz!

We were there last Thursday night and the food was really, really good. Had the shrimp and grits appetizer (Spicy in a great way) and the grouper with shrimp creole. Delicious. Not many folks there that night, just after the rain storm and all that.

We WILL be back!!!!:clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:

Thank you! :bow: Thank you everyone. :bow: I have been working on a new project and haven't been at my greeting station at the cafe as much. :(

Always a pleasure to hear when you come in! I so enjoyed getting to meet Camp Creek Lou and wife. Had a great time talking about old times down at Camp Creek. Doug and I lived in the Country Cabins way back in 1991-92:roll: Geez that's a long time ago....but the fishing was great and a small gator was our entertainment.

Thanks Seaside2 for braving the elements. It was a blustery rainy night! Hope I get to meet you when you come back in. We're in the eye of the storm right now....summer hits full force before you know it. And, I'm enjoying the quiet nights at the cafe.

Hate I missed OhioGirl too!:pissed: But glad you were able to get in and hope in the future to meet you when you are down again.

AGAIN~~~Many Thanks to you all!!!!

Mr IBD and I went last night. We were a little late due to Mr. IBD :roll:

Flash fried soft shell crab and the bacon wrapped shrimp and grits were divine for an appetizer!!!

We split a steak for an entree since Mr. IBD does not eat any seafood, I know I know....it is crazy.....It was very good and cooked just just perfect!!!!

For desert we got the key lime pie (best we ever had) and the bananas foster cheesecake. These were soooooooooo good to end the evening.

Service was VERY attentive and Kat was a pleasure to talk with.

Mr. IBD went down the stairs by the bar and got "lost" I think it was all the New Castles he drank...:lol: :lol: :lol:

We endorse D&K's and will certainly be back, sooner if someone wants to kid sit....😀

D&K got a four star review across the board from the Daily News today. And Colleen Caulfield really doesn't give those out to upscale restaurants very often.
