There's nothing quite like a perfectly cooked, sizzling steak. Everyone has their preference—rare, medium, or well-done—but a well-prepared steak is a classic dish that never goes out of style. Here are two of the top four steaks I believe promise an unforgettable dining experience.

Bijoux

First up is Bijoux, a fine dining gem that has been around for over 20 years. Located in The Market Shops at the entrance of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, Bijoux is open for dinner seven nights a week and offers the freshest Gulf seafood, prime steaks and an award-winning wine list. This restaurant captures the essence of coastal cuisine with a New Orleans flair, thanks to Executive Chef Jack McGuckin, who hails from southern Louisiana. Chef McGuckin began his culinary journey at age 15 in the legendary kitchens of New Orleans, driven by his passion for making people happy. "When I see the smiling faces and clean plates of our customers, I know they are enjoying a great meal, and that brings me joy," he shares. Be sure to add Bijoux to your must-try list!

Ambrosia

A bit newer to the area but bursting with flavor is Ambrosia, a fine dining fresh seafood and premium steak establishment that has quickly made a name for itself. Ambrosia has consistently received outstanding reviews for its exceptional service and chef-inspired dishes, all set within the beautiful Watersound Town Center. They also offer a more casual dining experience with their expansive bar that features a lively happy hour, complete with a selection of wines and a menu available from 3–6 p.m. Wine not?!  Their chefs and staff work diligently to ensure that each dish is not only delicious but also visually stunning.
