Crème brûlée
Olivia H.

We had the absolute BEST experiences of our trip at this restaurant. We had such a good experience the first time we came, that we visited twice on our 4 day trip. Our server Jack was the kindest human being ever, and made us feel so comfortable about the handling of my husband's food allergies (gluten, dairy, etc.). He was so personable and professional, and has a ton of experience in the food industry himself. We trusted him completely, which is rare. Now on to the food, the first night I got the soft shelled crab, which was delicious. It was very lemon forward and a generous portion. My first time ever having a dish of the sort and I was pleasantly surprised. The other night, I got the Scallops and truffle risotto, which was amazing as well, but the real star was the risotto. It was so good, I would recommend getting it as an individual side with anything. We also received the crème brûlée for our anniversary, which was great as well. My husband had the shrimp cocktail, filet mignon, and elk over the course of his 2 dinners. Both were the best meals of his trip. The ambience of this place was also super nice, and there was plenty of parking since it was near a shopping center. All of the wait staff were extremely professional and seemed to enjoy working together. They all seemed genuinely happy to be there. We will definitely be coming back every time we are in town!

One of the best experiences to be had in the Rosemary Beach area. Service was simply amazing from start to finish. The Wagyu Bread-Seared Snake River Farms Wagyu, Brioch, Cured Egg Yolk, Roasted Garlic Aioli, Truffle was a unique way to start the meal. For my main, I went for the special Steak Flight - Petite Filet, Boursin Cheese, Mashed Potatoes, Bordelaise - Elk Chop, Rahlua Glaze, Truffled Risotto - Wagyu Rib Cap, Hen of the Woods Mushroom, Wagyu Butter with a side of Wagyu Tallow Fried Tots. Oddly, the only somewhat disappointing part of the flight was the wagyu rib cap. It is not that it was bad, I just was expecting more from it. Everything else was outstanding. The place itself feels like a modern steak house, and with it opening just three years ago, it should. Parking is easy, though you might need to walk a bit!

Bbq shrimp and snapper
Joseph P.

We made a last-minute Sunday reservation at Ambrosia and had an amazing experience thanks to Stefen S. From the start, he went above and beyond--especially for my pregnant wife. He thoughtfully recommended pregnancy-friendly dishes and even pointed out their mocktail menu so she could still feel included, which we really appreciated. It had been a few months since our last visit, so I decided to trust all of Stefen's recommendations--and he did not disappoint. We started with the prime rolls for an appetizer, and for our entrees my wife had the snapper while I went with the BBQ shrimp. Everything was absolutely delicious. Stefen was attentive, knowledgeable, and answered every question we had. The service alone is enough to make us come back more often. Great job, Stefen--keep it up! Ambrosia, we'll definitely be back.

Scallops entrée

This is our new favorite spot! The best service we've had since moving to the area one year ago (and we've been to a lot of restaurants)! We were celebrating our wedding anniversary. Upon entering, the hostess welcomed us and already knew it was our anniversary. Our server brought us each a complementary glass of champagne and sang to us - how special! The food was outstanding and it was an overall great experience! We are going back for our daughter's birthday and can't wait!

We experienced service , service, and more service....tonight here at Ambrosia and found it was very polished and we were told by management that it is constantly being perfected. Amazing, because we were already impressed when we approached the front door and it was opened by a staff member who welcomed us and asked us if we wanted to dine-"of course"! And the other hostess stand staff said they had a wonderful booth for us and yes they did! Drink good, salad good, soup good, steak good, mashed good...

Crab cake - it's ok
Janine R.

Good: nice atmosphere and friendly staff Bad: sloooow service, overpriced for quality, slooooow bar service The bacon appetizer is cute, but not worth the price. It's bacon served with five different seasonings. 1) applewood, 2) bourbon glaze, 3) black pepper, 4) pecan, and 5) coconut/coffee. It's just bacon. The difference in flavor is subtle and you're paying for the presentation. It comes with scissors and tongs to serve. (About now, if the management is reading this they're saying, "Oh, no! They're on to us!) The bread service again is ok - not special. If you want a sweet treat before your meal then this is it - think breakfast roll. The crab cake is just ok. Do not waste your money. It's overly buttery (greasy) and they'll tell you it's one of the best crab cakes you'll ever have - it is NOT. It's also small for $38. That's the appetizer folks! Not worth it. The Caesar salad dressing's flavor was a bit like "The Emperor's New Clothes." They will tell you it's there, but you can't actually confirm its presence. The BBQ Shrimp had a very strong shrimpy flavor. Overly so. We are from southern Louisiana - we do know seafood. It's what we grew up on all of our lives. The lobster bisque has a nice flavor, but very thin - more like a soup than a bisque. The Taste of 30A was fine. It's a good way to try different dishes. The flounder was dry - definitely overcooked. We didn't say anything because the service was so painfully slow that we didn't want to mess with what little flow they had. The petite filet was typical - not special. If you find yourself at this restaurant, order the molten lava cake. It's not the best one you'll ever have, but the best item you'll get here.

Angel eggs + Hawaiian sweet rolls
Lorrie-Ann R.

Made reservations at Ambrosia to celebrate my husband's birthday. It came as a surprise that this restaurant is located in Watersound. From the hosts to our waitress- Teraine, the service was top tier and made the restaurant feel like a true fine dining experience. Starters- pineapple rolls + angel eggs: The pineapple sweet rolls are a must! The sweetness of the bread is truly addicting. The angel eggs were a fun play on deviled eggs. The bacon on top is an explosion of flavor in your mouth. My husband and I then shared the tour of 30A. Of the three dishes you get to sample, the snapper was my favorite. Each dish comes over a unique side featuring either coconut rice, gnocchi or risotto. Each dish was also unique and packed with flavor. It gave us such a good sample of the quality of foods at Ambrosia and the local seafood. We got Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes as our sides. Sides are big enough to share tapas style. Also be mindful that the Brussels are topped with bacon though it can be removed upon request. Dinner was topped off with a birthday crème brûlée on the house. My husband enjoyed his birthday and we would recommend Ambrosia for special occasions or a romantic date night to anyone in the area.

This restaurant is absolutely beautiful! The bar area is stunning. The staff was kind and truly seemed to try. Our visit was in 4/2025. I ordered the shrimp and grits. It was good but I could identify what would have made it better. The grits needed Gouda, the dish needed spices for more flavor. It's not spicy at all so I asked for pepper and hot sauce. It took a long time to come... but it helped. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. My son ordered elk well done. That's his preference. He sent it back to the kitchen twice and it never got cooked well. We were all finished by the time they brought it to him the 3rd time still bloody. These were unfortunate misses. I would try Ambrosia again but order something all together different.

It was very very nice..went to Panama for a girls weekend to celebrate a birthday. The ambiance was warm and inviting. I wish i could remember our servers name but i will post a video with her singing. She was absolutely amazing. There was no stone unturned to ensure we enjoyed our experience. The food was great our drinks were amazing. If i didn't say it earlier every person we came in contact with the greeters, hostess, manager was friendly and it made my experience there more rewarding.

Taste of 30-A
Chad M.

This restaurant is aptly named, as it delivered one of the best dining experiences I've had. Love the atmosphere, classic steakhouse feel where you're welcomed at the front door, leave the Florida sun behind for a bit, and move into the subtly energetic bar or the peacefully bustling dining area. Or hit both. Food, cocktails, and wine selection are outstanding. We started with the angel eggs--I do not like deviled eggs, but these beauties changed my mind temporarily (and not just the name change), as the egg and crispy shrimp made for incredible bites. The Hawaiian bread starter was fluffy and sweet. I tried the taste of 30-A (selection of three fish entrees): it was hard to choose a winner (snapper by a hair over the flounder), and the portions were quite generous (given the price compared to the full individual dishes, I honestly figured we'd see little bite-sized portions, but when you add on apps, delicious sides, and a bread pudding dessert that I'm still thinking about, each one was nearly enough for a meal!). There was also an elk special when we were there that needs to make the main menu, as it was beautifully cooked, tender beyond belief, and had that perfect gaminess (in a good way) of elk without the need for a ton of adornment. One comment on the cocktails worth adding: the Foster Old Fashioned was was a unique and delicious spin on the classic cocktail (using a rum base instead of bourbon, and it really was like drinking a less sweet bananas foster)--very much worth a try. Service was top notch. Bartenders were excellent, our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful, and the hostesses were welcoming. I very much look forward to a return visit...or preferably visits.

Mashed potatoes
Marcus M.

My wife and I went here on our honeymoon and the Food, service and atmosphere where all great. We both got filet mignon with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese and everything we had was delicious. One of the best places to eat in 30A Also we tried the She crab soup and got a complementary dessert of crème brûlée. Both were excellent! I highly recommend Ambrosia.

Seafood trio

Excellent service and food! Highly recommend! The truffle risotto was the best I've ever had and the scallops were cooked to perfection! The grouper in the seafood trio was the favorite! Errin was our server - he was very attentive and recs were spot on!

Coconut cream pie
Sara T.

We visited Ambrosia for my mom's birthday. The service was outstanding and the restaurant was beautiful. We started with the Pineapple Sweet Rolls and the Wagyu Bread. Both were amazing. For entrees our table ordered the Wagyu Filet - cooked perfectly, Wagyu Zabuton - my husband said it was a tad salty for him but cooked perfectly otherwise, Crab Stuff Flounder - delicious, and Redfish Pontchartrain - one of the best things I've ever had, will recommend to anyone. For sides we got the Brussels Sprouts - I hate brussels sprouts and these were delicious, Mashed Potatoes - so creamy and cheesy, and the Fried Okra - taste like homemade. Such a great experience, will definitely come back!

The only expectations I had for Crabby Steve's was beach vibes, views, and drinks - all of which I…read moregot - but the excellent food was a surprise. Everyone in our 7-person party enjoyed their apps and entrees. I tried the following: -Peel and eat jumbo shrimp- these royal red shrimp are apparently caught locally (in the gulf) and they are AMAZING. Succulent, flavorful, tender, a little sweet. The only comparable shrimp I remember having were at Penny here in New York and they were smaller and way more expensive. -Spicy tuna dip- also a highlight! The tuna is smoked and the dip has a medium fresh-green-pepper spiciness. -Ceviche Good! This was a special. The base ingredient was shrimp and aside from the citrus, there was some hot sauce drizzled on the top. Also served with tasty avocado. -Bushwacker (frozen; white rum, coffee, Irish cream, chocolate liqueur, float): I wanted to have one of these on the trip! I thought it was tasty and refreshing, tasted mostly chocolatey, and was served in a metal cup, which kept it nice and cold. It was obviously sweet, but not overly sweet.

Off the beach. Great place to grab a quick bite or a frozen drink to carry down to the beach. Cindy…read morewas our waitress and such a sweet woman - her recommendations were on point. We ordered the Cuban and the Guinness burger which both were awesome! The prices were reasonable. The only hard point is availability is limited. We had a party of 6 so our older kids sat at a different table (which they probably preferred) and we sat further away. They seat you as you arrive so make sure your whole party is there. Come without shoes or shirts because it doesn't matter- this place is super casual and outdoors. Closed Mondays!

Plenty of street parking. No issues with a spot and we stepped in and were greeted by Paul and Lark upon entry. Major plus is the fact that you can get fresh oysters shucked and shrimp, fish, burgers, they have something for everyone! If you don't care to eat in, getting it to go is also fine I'm sure. Ordered a dozen oysters, steamed Old Bay shrimp and potatoes, and a shrimp and fish plate that came with Cole slaw, hush puppies, and fries. Plenty to share. They have multiple sauces and seasonings, especially of note is the Crystal hot sauce from Louisiana which is one of the best IMO for oysters. Service was very good, friendly, professional, and helpful with support. Couldn't have been happier with the lunch today, we already will plan one last visit before heading home Saturday. I cannot say this enough, good food, great service, fast in and out, accommodating when asked for something. It's 100% perfect for this area. The person cooking in the kitchen also nailed the food cooked back there also. They have a steam box in the front as well as a huge area where the seafood is displayed. Support small businesses!

When the steak finally arrived, I had ordered it medium but it came out medium well to well done, pretty overcooked, and the fries that came with it were also a bit burnt. The server was attentive and offered us a discount for the delay, and when I mentioned the steak, she got the manager involved. He came over, apologized, said he'd let the chef know, and ended up comping that dish entirely, it was clear they cared about making it right. My husband's burger was good. We had wanted to try the carrot cake for dessert, but after everything, we just lost the appetite for it. The service was friendly and they tried to make up for the mistake, but between the long wait and the overcooked steak, it wasn't the first impression we were hoping for. Hopefully just an off day.
