The Boshamps story
A family harbor spot, reborn
Boshamps opened in 2013 on the Destin Harbor site where owner Miller Phillips’s parents once ran the Flamingo Café. Four wooden decks step down from the dining room toward the water and the boat dock.
The unusual name blends the names of the family’s Labrador retrievers. Inside, old black-and-white family photos hang on wood-paneled walls, and the kitchen calls its cooking “Gulf to Table Southern cuisine.”
