We started with fried dill pickles with dip and they were delicious. We also had the pretzels with cheese dip. You get two large baked pretzels which are soft and chewy and a beer cheese dip that is tasty. For half time we ordered 3 pizzas. Sadly I was into The game and forgot to take pictures. The pizzas are very tasty although a few of us agreed that the crust end was too thick. Note: They do not serve glasses with your pitcher of beer on game day. We were told that it was too busy for the bar tender to keep up. One of us offered to buy a glass as he does not like to drink his beer out of plastic cups. Next time we come we are going to bring our own beer glass. This is a fun place to watch your games.

The wings and the wing sauce were stellar, the wing sauce is homemade Service was friendly and snarky just like we like. It's a good solid choice. It's a way from the main drag in Destin so you don't have the waits. This would be our second time, the last time was in their old location in 2017 .

On arrival we found when we got there that one couple inside seated at our table were waving to us but the windows are tinted so we couldn't see them. We saw another table arrive doing the same thing which brought a chuckle because we knew their friends could not see inside. We entered the building and there was no hostess to greet or direct us but the place is not that big so we were able to find the room our table was set up in. We had heard that martinis were a special for $5. I was all set to get a chocolate martini or some other flavor but when we got the drinks menu there was one Expresso Martini on the menu and I don't like coffee so I decided on a Long Island Tea. Others in the group had wine or beer. Price wasn't bad and we got a happy hour discount. There was a red pepper soup served as part of a meal-or salad and 6 of us had the soup, which was delicious. Tasted like an elevated creamy tomato soup and made you wish you had a grilled cheese sandwich to dunk in it. After our soup/salad there was a little wait for our entree's. The following report on the entrees found the grilled chicken salad with avocado, sliced almonds and feta Cheese was delicious with the chicken tasting like it was grilled on an open flame (maybe it was as we could smell char grill when entering the restaurant). The 4 lasagna eaters all agreed that it was very cheesy and lacking substance. They said you had to really dig deep through all most too much cheese to get to two layers of noodle and a little meat and sauce but it tasted good. They felt the online photo was misleading. The meatball sub was huge - like a foot long toasted bun with two very large meatballs, not something you could fit into your mouth but had to eat with a fork and knife. It was tasty. The spaghetti and meatballs and French dip had their plates cleaned and enjoyed their meals. The Nonas meat loaf was ok. I like my own homemade betterThe mashed potatoes creamy and I appreciated the ala dente fresh broccoli served with it. There was a comment that usually when you go to an Italian restaurant they serve you some bread but none was served here. My husband told me after we left that the chandelier right above me was caked with dust. Hopefully they have a spring cleaning coming up. The restroom was clean.

This year there was just a party of 6 of us so it was easier to give a food review. Everyone had wonderful meals that consisted of Linguine & Mussels, Tom's Pasta, Linguine $ Shrimp, and three of the bacon wrapped tenderloins with squash risotto which was a special for the night. A cannoli was ordered to go. Everyone reported that their meals were delicious. The three of us who had the tenderloin special were amazed and we agreed that it was just as good as what you get at a Ruth Chris Steakhouse but half the price. The steaks were topped with a screwer of 3 perfectly prepared steak and topped with an onion bourbon sauce. The squash risotto was perfectly prepared also. The cannoli was delicious, not too sweet. Our waiter was awesome and I wished we had gotten his name. He packed up all our leftovers and was knowledgeable about questions we had on the menu. He has great customer service skills. We look forward to visiting this restaurant again. They don't open until 5 pm Tuesday-Saturday. We visit the area 4-5 months a year so are limited to our visits. Wish they were open for lunches.

I ordered one of the most expensive dishes on the menu $29.99 and he ordered a $15.99 coconut chicken salad along with two diet cokes. When we got the check they had calculated the check with a 20% service charge. We asked what it was and was told it was 16% for her and 4% for the kitchen. Nothing based on the service or how good the food was an automatic 20%. No warning at all! As they were seating, another customer that server said have you been to the boathouse before and the customer said yes. So she stated you are aware of the service charge then. The customer said yes. Maybe us saying something about it is why she said that, not sure, but we were never informed and we've never had that explained to us before either.

All in all it's still a place to eat quickly and under $10 which is becoming a rarity nowadays.

In the past, our meals would arrive within 15-30 minutes. This visit, however, we waited over an hour for our food. When it finally arrived, my husband's meal was cold, and after such a long wait, I was still not satisfied with the quality of my own meal. It also seemed that the restaurant lacked organization. Staff members were loudly talking across the dining room, which took away from the dining experience and made the atmosphere feel unprofessional. It also seem that there are alot of immigrants working in the restaurant and some of the servers are very disrespectful. From what I've heard, the restaurant has changed chefs, and if that's true, it may explain the noticeable decline in both the food and the service. I sincerely hope management addresses these issues because this restaurant used to be one of our favorites. I would not recommend dining here until the service, food quality, the chef and overall organization improve. If the restaurant returns to the standard it once had, I would gladly give it another chance.
