Join Hotel Effie and its signature restaurant Ovide as it hosts the first-ever story-pairing dinner in partnership with Emerald Coast Storytellers on February 7 from 5 to 8 p.m. Guests are invited to indulge in a decadent three-course dinner menu curated by award-winning chef Hugh Acheson as they enjoy stories by Featured Storyteller Laura Quick, Founder and CEO of Good Grit Magazine, sprinkled throughout their delectable culinary adventure.

At Ovide, classic Gulf Coast flavors and impeccable French techniques complement each other for an elevated dining experience while Emerald Coast Storytellers, a local writer’s group, curates an intimate environment for locals and visitors alike to discover, foster and reignite their creativity.

Guests can turn their evening into a seaside staycation as the hotel will be offering an Exclusive Story Teller Rate as an added bonus for stays during the entire month of February!
