Hear from guests who made dinner part of the vacation.

The gulf snapper was the best thing we ate all week, and my daughter’s gluten-free plate looked just as good as everyone else’s. You could tell the chef had actually shopped that morning.

Party of 10 • Family vacation • Santa Rosa Beach

Eighteen people, four families, one beach house. Coordinating that many people into cars for dinner was the part I was dreading. Our chef handled everything including the cleanup, and I got to sit down with my brothers instead of playing tour guide.

Party of 18 • Family reunion • Panama City Beach

Three generations under one roof for my parents’ 50th. Getting sixteen people into a restaurant would have been a nightmare. Instead we all sat down together at the house, and my mom got to actually enjoy her own party.
