Decided on this place for dinner due to its location close to the condo. First off this is mixed in with a few different restaurants all in one place so if you don’t like this menu you’ll be able to eat at another place in the same location. Food was pretty good. Shrimp and crab dip was a massive appetizer. Easily will feed 4+ people. The shrimp and crab linguini was also really good. The reason for the 4 stars is because of the price. Compared to the many other places I’ve been with similar menus this one seems a bit inflated. But with a location on the beach you can expect that. The server was fast and friendly. Overall this is a good place to visit and eat if given the chance.

Great view of the pier and the playground to watch your kids if you choose to sit outside. Our server was nice. The food was so-so but not worth the price. Best thing we had was the appetizer ( crab dip). Our boiled shrimp that we wanted hot came out lukewarm, the vegetables with my mahi were bland as could possibly be. The rice with it taste like it came out of a box. Crab legs were pretty good, my wife liked them anyway. I’m my opinion if you are sitting inside and don’t have a good view of the beach outside, this place is a no go. I’ve been to many, many of the local restaurants and we spent more here than any of them and it just didn’t live up. Like I said service was 5 star, for was 2 star, so you get a 3 star. Wouldn’t recommend if you had another option.

The restaurant is on the Beach. The food was good, but a little pricey in my opinion. The service was great. We were waiting for some people and the waitress allowed us to wait for a while before we ordered. The atmosphere is very relaxed, we went in our swimsuits after a day on the beach. Overall a good place to grab a bite.

Came here for a family dinner on vacation, and it was pretty good. The best part of the food was the hot crab and oita chips appetizer – THAT is a must try. Everything was just good, average. Crab shrip linguine, sampler appetizer the gumbo. I will say, it is expensive for a non- 5 star restaurant. It’s definitely overpriced, but hey, it’s a tourist are so, what do you expect.

We had a great experience at this location. We usually visit the one in Destin, but this location provided an even better experience. There was no wait, it was very clean, our waitress provided exceptional customer service, and the food was great. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice and also family friendly. Highly recommend this place and also recommend having the gumbo!

We came under the guise of a family meal deal which miraculously dissapeared when we arrived :/ none the less we had the crab and shrimp combo, shrimp gumbo + crabcakes. The combo was average at best.

Was in a party of 7, all agreed on 1 thing… Portions are small for the price. We actually ended getting something else to eat about an hour after leaving. Food was okay, not terrible, but not worth the price. Gave 4 stars cause atmosphere and what really saved the place was our waitress. She did amazing and was on top of everything(Diamond).

We always get great service here. The view of the ocean is great. The food is good. It gets crowded, so we try to plan our visits during less crowded times.

Dinner was good. They have a good selection of seafood. We had the peel and eat shrimp for an appetizer, delicious. My husband has the crab cakes and loved them. I did the mahi mahi blackened it was also very good. We sat outside which allowed us to see the beach. Would come back. The pictures are from where we sat. Beautiful view.
