Chef Louis Martorano’s passion for cuisine began long along, watching his mom and his Italian grandmother prepare delicious homemade meals.  An avid fan of the New York Yankees, he once dreamed of becoming a baseball player, but his professional journey would lead him to culinary school instead.

“Speaking to me in Italian, my grandmother taught me how to make Sicilian rice balls; even though I didn’t understand the words, food became the language that allowed us to communicate with one another. It was that powerful.”

Martorano’s career began in 1985 at the acclaimed Waldorf Astoria New York, where he would experience the unique chance to cook for a U.S. president, preparing a meal (potato soup sorrel) for Pres. Ronald Reagan, all under the gaze of Secret Service. After sharpening his skills in the Big Apple, Martorano went on to hold multiple chef positions at the Boca Raton Resort and Club in Boca Raton, Fla., experiences he says served as his training ground for five-star and five-diamond dining experiences. There, too, Chef Martorano had the distinct opportunity to cook for several U.S. presidents, including George H. Bush (French toast with banana), George W. Bush (smoked brisket) and Bill Clinton (filet and shrimp), as well as participate in nearly a dozen Food & Wine Classic events and a dinner at the iconic James Beard House.

From South Florida to San Francisco and Nashville to Washington, D.C., Chef Martorano’s hospitality experiences have awarded him with diverse insights into what makes food and beverage programs truly excellent – from the menu and the dining experience to each guest touchpoint in between. In 2009, he was on the opening team for the Hilton Orlando Convention Center hotel, which became the first property to earn Hilton’s desirable Connie Award three years in a row. Most recently, the self-proclaimed “baseball freak” served as the Executive Chef of the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in Atlanta, Ga.

In summer 2024, Chef Martorano and his family began their newest adventure in South Walton when he accepted the role of Director of Culinary and Executive Chef for Watercolor Inn, including its award-winning Fish Out of Water restaurant.

“As a family, we love South Walton’s natural beauty, small-town feel and access to fresh seafood and local ingredients,” Martorano says. “I’m an avid outdoorsman, so it has been a nice match personally. Professionally, I’m excited to continue to keep Fish Out of Water’s offerings locally and seasonally focused.”

Under Chef Martorano’s leadership, Fish Out of Water will continue to distinguish itself by a fresh and fun approach to delectable cuisine and impeccable service but do so with a much more seasonally minded perspective that keeps the menu reinventing itself and provides guests the opportunity to savor something new.

From exquisitely seared lump blue Crab Cake and a Seafood Cioppino to a zesty Aqua Chile and Local Oysters, served raw or baked, the menu’s starters are focused on serving up a fresh taste of the Gulf. Entrées include a decadent grilled Ribeye steak – one of Chef Martorano’s favorites – and an array of locally caught fish with a variety of tasty Southern sides.

“There are some unexpected surprises for guests, too, like a very versatile and surprising Cauliflower ‘Tabbouleh’ that can be modified for a variety of tastes, and our Florida Hot Crispy Fish Sandwich, which is surely going to become a guest favorite!”

Chef Martorano is looking forward to sharing the story of our beautiful corner of the world one bite at a time and in true Watercolor style. The best – and tastiest – is surely yet to come!

Stay tuned for an overview of Fish Out of Water’s new menu, coming soon to stjoeexperiences.com. In the meantime, visit dinefish30a.com or follow @fishoutofwater30a for the latest updates.

The restaurant is open daily, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch, 2 to 4 p.m. for happy hour and 2 to 10 p.m. for dinner.

Winter in Northwest Florida means trading in your snow shovel for a different kind of white backdrop: our sugar-white beaches, that is! With milder weather, fewer crowds and the festive spirit of the season, there’s even more reason to celebrate during the winter months – and plenty of ways to stay warm while you do.

Here are our top picks for warming up and cozying up to enjoy a winter wonderland in true 30A style!

A Beachside Bonfire
Guests of WaterColor Inn can reserve two hours of bonfire fun for up to 30 guests – complete with beach chairs, bottled water and all of the fixings for s’mores. The expertly set-up bonfire experience, which can be set up before or after sunset, takes place behind the WaterColor Beach Club and provides a laidback and fun way to cozy up with the beach during the cooler winter months. Outdoor game packages and food-and-beverage amenities can also be added for an additional fee.

A Hot Stone Massage
Experience a hot stone massage at Spa Pearl at The Pearl Hotel and melt your winter blues away. Within four private poolside treatment rooms, men and women enjoy facials, signature body treatments and massages that incorporate invigorating and therapeutic oceanic elements. Better yet? All spa bookings receive complimentary access to The Pearl Hotel’s heated adults-only pool – and we can’t quite picture a winter day more relaxing than that.

A Swim in the Pool
The winter months won’t keep us away from the water – the pool water, that is! And because all of our pools at WaterColor Inn and The Pearl Hotel are heated, our guests can enjoy a leisurely swim year-round. Not to mention, WaterColor Inn now has a new 2,800-square-foot zero-entry family pool, complete with whirlpool bench and hydro jets. We think there’s nothing quite as invigorating like a warm winter dip!

A Walk on the Beach
Never underestimate the simple, heart-warming pleasure of taking a stroll on the beach. Throw on your favorite hoodie (we have a preference for this super cozy WaterColor Shop sweatshirt) and head Gulf-side to take in a picturesque winter sunset or bask in the stunning display of stars that light up our coastal sky.

Couple Having Fun Running Along Winter Beach Together

A Walk on the Wild Side
Explore South Walton’s varied landscapes with a brisk hike or bike ride through Point Washington State Forest. Guests of The Lodge 30A can conveniently access the trailhead from the hotel, enjoy complimentary bikes on the forest trails or along the paved Timpoochee Trail, and take advantage of discounted pricing on rentals at nearby YOLO Board & Bike.

A Seafood Feast with a View
Winter months are still perfect for enjoying freshly caught seafood just footsteps away from the Gulf. And cooler weather doesn’t mean forgoing the view either! Take it in indoors at Fish Out of Water, where every seat is the best in the house and every dish boasts the Gulf’s most delicious seasonal flavors.

FOOW Patio Gulf View

A Fresh Cup of Hot Coffee
Load up on some extra fuel at Scratch Biscuit Kitchen, where you’ll find plenty of coffee flowing, thanks to the restaurant’s daily selections of its own signature blend. Consider yourself a die-hard coffee enthusiast well beyond the winter months? Join Scratch’s “Mug Club” to receive your own Scratch “Mug Club”-branded mug and $1 unlimited coffee (cheers to that!).

A Tropics-Inspired Happy Hour
Retreat to the Havana Beach Lounge, an intimate tropical hideaway nestled within The Pearl Hotel’s Havana Beach Bar & Grill, to enjoy a menu of small plates, pre-dinner cocktails or both. Bold, tropical prints and a lively Havana-inspired theme are surely to warm up your evening. 

We might be biased, but we can’t picture a more cheerful way to spend the holidays than with the backdrop of our sugar-white sand (our much nicer version of snow) and the cooler coastal weather that seems to make every sunset just that much brighter. Besides, with fewer crowds, it feels like we have every inch of the stunning Gulf Coast for ourselves.

It’s undeniable: the holidays bring a bounty of good cheer to Northwest Florida, but if you’re looking for even more reasons to book your winter today, here are a few:

Lower Rates
Lock in the best rates of the year when you stay at WaterColor Inn, The Pearl Hotel or The Lodge 30A during the winter and holiday months. Looking for the ultimate home-away-from home experience? Settle into comfort at The Lodge 30A and cash in on the extra savings when you book  an extended stay.

30A in Lights
Experience a coastal winter wonderland as you stroll, drive or bike through the beautiful holiday decorations along Scenic Highway 30A, through WaterColor and into the Rosemary Beach town square. The only downside might be the number of times you’ll be compelled to stop for a magical photo.

Festive Events
‘Tis the season to gather with loved ones and celebrate – and we know how to do just that. Each year, WaterColor Inn, The Pearl Hotel and their acclaimed restaurants, Fish Out of Water and Havana Beach Bar & Grill, get into the spirit of the season with a variety of festive holiday-themed events for the whole family, taking place in December.

Northwest Florida’s Gulf Coast is well known for its sugar-white beaches, but it’s the sunsets over the Gulf that provide the cherry on top of an unforgettable beach day here in our corner of paradise. Fittingly, with a wide array of Gulf-front dining options to choose from in our portfolio, toasting to the sunset is a must during your visit. Choosing from where, however, is a decision you’ll have to make. Below, a roundup of the best sunset dining spots – from Santa Rosa Beach to Rosemary Beach and in more unexpected spots along the way.

Head to the Rooftop
Nothing beats taking in the sunset from up top, and with several rooftop locations to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect spot for this end-of-day ritual. Head to Havana Beach Rooftop at The Pearl Hotel for tapas and cocktails, served with stunning views of the Gulf and of the charming coastal town of Rosemary Beach below. Staying at WaterColor Inn? At Costa Chica (located within the private WaterColor Beach Club), you can enjoy handcrafted margaritas, sample an extensive selection of tequila or share fresh TexMex appetizers in a casual rooftop setting overlooking the pool deck. Sit at the bar or in an outdoor cabana to take in the cotton-candied colors of the Gulf Coast sky.

At WaterColor Inn’s award-winning restaurant, the best seat in the house is always guaranteed, thanks to glass walls that showcasing breathtaking views from every seat, while enjoying an authentic taste of the Gulf. Further east, the outdoor veranda at Havana Beach Bar & Grill provides a delectable AAA Four-Diamond dining experience in a laidback and cozy atmosphere with views overlooking the Gulf and the town’s Main Street.

In fact, WaterColor Inn guests have plenty of sunset dinner experiences to choose from, thanks to ample poolside restaurants to choose from at WaterColor Beach Club (available to WaterColor Inn and WaterColor Community residents and guests only).

Whether your balcony at The Pearl Hotel overlooks the pool, the Gulf or the town below, you’ll have the chance to take in the sunset while enjoying a fine-dining experience on your balcony – complete with all of the luxury and convenience you expect from the boutique hotel. Staying at WaterColor Inn instead? The pair of Adirondack chairs on your private balcony (or patio, on the first floor rooms) are already situated at precise sunset-level (seriously!).
