The Floridian
A famous farm-to-table Southern restaurant that relocated from the historic district to the beach area, featuring a seasonally changing menu with plenty of vegetarian options.
This Southern eatery, run by husband-and-wife duo Genie and Jeff McNally, opened in 2010. It closed its Spanish Street location in the historic district in 2025 and moved to its new home on Old Beach Road in the beach area in 2026. The new location features about 120 seats, indoor and outdoor dining areas, a courtyard, a full bar, and free parking. The menu utilizes local, seasonal ingredients, with favorites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, and a local-style shrimp and sausage pilau, while catering to vegetarian and gluten-free needs. Reservations are recommended for weekend dinners. The parking lot can get crowded during peak hours, and driving is required from the historic district.
