Tradewinds Restaurants - (850) 678-8299

This restaurant has been excellent from the first time my husband and I went there several years ago. The owners are on hand, and a pleasure to deal with. I have tried several different dishes, and have never had a bad meal. They have mostly Italian and seafood dishes, excellent appetizers, pizzas, entrees, desserts, and their coffee is roasted on the premises (so you know it's good), and the coffee beans are available for purchase. Food portions are huge, and you always have leftovers for another meal. Reservations are HIGHLY recommended. A local secret that really needs no advertisement, as it stays packed by word-of-mouth. They have a large variety of wine and beer. I just can't say enough about the place!

RUDEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH! I hope they feel that the locals can keep them in business because at the rate their going, no one will ever come back. We were reminded several times that we would only have an hour to eat because we didn't have a reservation. The hostess/manager/owner could use some anger management classes as well as a course in customer service. As we were leaving we politely suggested to Terry that they advertise that they only accept reservations on the weekends if it was such a chore to seat us and she threw a fit, started screaming at us and told us we were lucky to have even gotten a table. WOW..Really? No, I think that YOU are the lucky one that people still come to your restaurant. I will not only NEVER return, I will never ever recommend it to anyone else. If I want overpriced Italian food I will go to Carrabba's at least there I won't be screamed at in the restaurant and in the parking lot told that people inside were calling me names. Oh a

I would recommend making reservations for Friday or Saturday night. So far, everything we have tried was delicious. We have ordered their pizza for carry out, it is a little pricey for take-out pizza, but well worth it.
