Great family run place with fresh ingredients, and exceptionally presented Turkish/Mediterranean fare. The owner Ece was so kind and personable. We had a great conversation with her. Our server Jason was excellent. We would definitely come back here if we are in the area again!

We visited this restaurant in late April, around 7:00-7:30 pm, with a group of 10 people. Despite being short-staffed, the staff was incredibly accommodating. The food was absolutely amazing, and everyone in our group was thoroughly pleased with their selections. I opted for the Tapas Pick 4 Appetizer, which included Hummus, Spicy Turkish rice with Gyro meat, and stuffed grape leaves. Each dish was delicious. Other popular choices included the chicken pita sandwich, Gyro salad, and Swedish meatballs, all equally scrumptious. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, particularly the food. Although the restaurant was quite busy when we arrived, the staff seemed a bit stressed, but they remained professional and accommodating.

Beat place in Destin to vet fresh food, authentic ambiance, and charming service. Highly recommend visiting here compared to the majority of restaurants and fast food dominating the area. We come to visit regularly when visiting Destin. The small and quaint atmosphere gives and home like feeling to enjoy artisanal wine and food. Being an organic restaurant the food is fresh and flavorful. Each item is plentiful portions and reasonable prices, coming out hot! I usually get a platter option of fresh meat, artisan sides and salad. I recommend sitting indoors, the small outdoor seating is close to the traffic outside. Parking is usually plentiful and free. Beer and wine, only for alcohol beverages, I believe. I love the simple and unintiminating presence given here. Easy recommendation for a good experience in this town.

Dude! This place had THE BEST Turkish/ Mediterranean food I have ever had (and I’m not saying that lightly)!!!!!! We ordered the tapas platter (choose 4 appetizers for $30) and the beef kabobs plate, so worth it! The fried feta was spectacular. Hummus was on point. The spicy gyro and rice was TO DIE FOR! Their feta on the Greek salad was yummy (tasted like it sat in lemon juice and sumac which was amazing) like literally I wanna kiss the owners. Unfortunately I live out of town but everytime I come to Destin I WILL VISIT RED ONION. Amazing food please don’t change a thing!!!!!!!!

What a gem of a restaurant! We felt transported to the Mediterranean. Food is excellent! The feta rolls and the stuffed grape leaves are 10 out of 10! Holly was our waitress and she delivered excellent service with the sweetest smile! The establishment welcomed our dog on the porch with water. We joined the empty plate club because the food here is remarkably good and we ate it all. Thank you Red Onion for providing us a sweet date.
