Why haven't we been here sooner?!? We don't know the answer to that, but we know we will be back soon and often as locals. We we very impressed with the menu, the quality of the food, specialty drinks and the service. The only negative we found was that the noise level was loud. We would love to bring our elderly mothers, but know the heightened noise would not be to their liking. Otherwise, it was a perfect dinner, and we will he back soon.

Borago has become one of our favorite restaurants in 30A! The service has been great each time and the food is absolutely incredible! We love the veal meatball appetizer as well as the calamari. Every pasta dish we have tried has been delicious, my personal favorite is the Chicken Linguine and my husband’s favorite is the Angel Hair with Pan Seared Shrimp. And of course the Dark Chocolate Crème Brûlée for dessert as well as the seasonal Berry Crisp! If you are looking for a truly delicious meal then this is the place to go! Be sure to make reservations.

The meal that I had at Borago was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Our waiter made sure that our food came out on time, and our drinks were never empty. The calamari was delicate and delicious. The Caesar salad is phenomenal. And our pasta dishes were unparalleled. My dish had chicken, corn, and caramelized onions, which seemed like an odd combination, but I’m still dreaming about it now! My espresso martini ended the evening perfectly. The tiramisu we took to go was perfect.

Loved the food and our server Jess was so sweet and friendly. We had the arrancini which was really good. Their marinara is fabulous (like my moms!) I had the Angel hair shrimp with prosciutto and it was SO delicious. It was creamy and the flavor was mouthwatering. My husband had the tortellini bolognese and really enjoyed it. The wine selection was also quite good. We did not like the tiramisu though. Tasted too much like alcohol. But we will definitely eat here again.

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and I am glad I finally did. The atmosphere although close to family dining is separated but close giving it a warm and inviting presence. Our waitress was phenomenal and made our experience 5 ⭐️. Our dishes were perfect, each having its on distinct flavor palette. The drink menu is limited but there is something for everyone. The wine menu is vast and has a large selection of glass and bottle options. My favorite two desserts were on the menu so we got both and were not disappointed..I have never tried Chocolate Crème Brûlée but it was absolutely tantalizing, the Tiramisu was made to perfection. If you are in the area, I recommend making a reservation, and enjoying an evening at Borago!

This is on our must do list when in the Grayton Beach area. Had a lovely meal with great service last night. My husband had the seafood pasta dish with shrimp and scallops. He said it was delicious as was my chicken pasta dish. This is the fourth time we have been here and quality of food and service and value is consistent every time.

I am giving them four stars because of price. It was overpriced. The chicken linguine was decent. We enjoyed the mushroom ravioli, arugula salad and the shrimp with pasta. The eggplant lasagna was different, with a lot of vegetables—it wasn’t my favorite eggplant. The tiramisu was to die for. Overall, good experience and good food, but overpriced.

Excellent food and service. I had the penne with spicy Italian sausage and my wife had the grouper special. Both were fantastic. Great atmosphere and and a solid wine list. Highly recommend.

I’m a local chef here in Santa Rosa Beach and finding decent food can be tricky. Can’t believe Ive waited 3 years to try this. Made an 8:30 reservation and our server Thomas was great. Attentive but not overbearing. The food came out fairly quick. I got the filet mignon and it was one of the best steaks I’ve had in a while. Good wine list and cocktails. Can’t wait to bring visitors here, will definitely be back.

This was exactly the seafood experience I was hoping for. The Seafood Fricassee was gluten free and it was divinity. The hint of sweetness from the scallops and lobster mixed with the creaminess of the cheese and polenta with the satisfying crunch of freshly-cut corn from the cob was so excellent. I can't think of a way to possibly make that better. My fiancee enjoyed the house Manhattans quite a lot, and he said the shrimp pasta was outstanding. The desserts were also delicious. I saved this to my Google locations. ☺️

This place got such great reviews, I had to try it. I have to say I was a little disappointed. The food was just okay. Maybe it is what we ordered. I would probably give it another shot if we lived down here but if I am visiting for a short period, I would skip it.

We did not not make a reservation but Jim was able to squeeze us in at a wonderful table. The food and drinks were exceptional, all recommended by our server Carl. We cannot wait to come back!
Samira Ferraz
The food was delicious! We have had one tomato soup bisque, one focaccia, a arugula salad, a eggplant lasagna and a tiramisu. Everything was amazing except for the tiramisu, which wasn't much of a tiramisu taste in my opinion, but everything else, amazing! The staff were incredibly friendly. We weren't able to sit inside because of the dogs, but the external area is very charming. Be aware of mosquitoes and flies.

The best Italian food on 30A!
Friendly, professional service.

Revisited with friends for a special night out. Food was excellent and everyone had a wonderful time.
I did notice that the pace of the kitchen was a bit off as it took almost 2 hours for our table to finish and pay.
Dean Breaux
This is a great place to eat and our favorite when visiting. First visit was in 2018. Fantastic then, fantastic now!! Everything on menu is outstanding. Highly recommended!

Alright. I’m sharing one of my favorite 30A local secrets. Go to Borago, get their **off-menu “Priscilla Pasta”, tell them I sent you and thank me later. 😋 Seriously some of the best pasta I’ve ever had. Hand crafted cocktails are delicious! Bartenders and servers are always a delight to chat with. Located in the heart of Grayton Beach on 30A. Make reservations to snag a spot during peak season!
Devon Arnold
One of the best Italian meals I’ve ever had! The Priscilla (not on the menu) is the perfect balance of heat and sweet!
