This fresh upscale sushi restaurant is a MUST for celebrations in 30A!…read more This dinner was a highlight of the bachelorette trip I attended this weekend. They pulled out all of the stops from a gift bag for the bride, a handwritten card, an extra appetizer, etc. Alex was an incredible server, he was fast and attentive but also especially personable. Vibes of the restaurant were lively, and you will likely need to make a reservation early when it's busy season. We ordered a few different dishes but the standout for me was the salmon appetizer. Highly highly recommend!

We kept seeing this place all over TikTok, and after so many rave reviews, we had to give it a try…read more In the end, about half of the hype lived up to expectations, while the other half didn't quite hit the mark. Let's start with what was outstanding. Service: 5/5. Our server, Matthew, was excellent. He was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and did a great job guiding us toward the restaurant's popular dishes and local favorites. He made the experience much better. Atmosphere: Absolutely beautiful. The ambiance is energetic and lively. There was so much excitement, conversation, and laughter throughout the restaurant that you couldn't help but feel the energy. It's definitely a fun place to spend an evening. Now, the food: * Fried Grouper: 3.7/5. The fish itself was good, but the tartar sauce tasted more like chopped boiled egg than tartar sauce and was pretty flavorless. The fries, however, were outstanding--an easy 5/5. Still, you don't come to a restaurant like this just for the fries. * Blazing Saddle Sushi: 4/5. Enjoyable and one of the better items we ordered. * Oceanside Roll: 2.5/5. It had a very strong fishy taste that just wasn't for us. * Crispy Rice: We had heard this was one of the restaurant's signature items, but unfortunately it was surprisingly flavorless. * Rocking Shrimp: This was our biggest disappointment. It arrived only slightly warm. We asked if it could be remade, and while they gladly took it back, it seemed like the shrimp were simply tossed quickly in warmed sauce and reserved again rather than being freshly prepared. We'd give it a 2/5. Ironically, the flavor itself was actually good--it just wasn't served the way it should have been. Overall, they have a unique menu, and I appreciate that they're trying to do something different with sushi. If you're a sushi lover, it's worth trying at least once because everyone has different tastes, and you may absolutely love it. For us, though, it was a one-and-done experience. Great service, beautiful atmosphere, but the food just didn't consistently deliver enough for us to come back.

Service was just a little slow at first, but once things got rolling, our server was attentive and took good care of us.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal and a place we would definitely go back to again.

We went to Farm & Fire looking for quality food and we found it there along with bay views and great service. My table had salad, steaks, wagyu burgers and crab and artichoke dip. All were quality choices. We were seated in the inside bar area which was nice from the standpoint of having views of the Choctawhatchee Bay. There is also an indoor dining room with table clothes that feels a bit more refined. In addition to watching the bay, we were also able to do a little people watching. The crowd at the outdoor picnic tables enjoying drinks on the edge of the bay also seemed to be having a good time. Our server was awesome. She said it was her second day but I assumed she was a seasoned server for Farm & Fire. She was friendly and attentive and great with all of our questions. She had clearly studied the menu and knew the restaurant. The building has lots of different levels/elevations and stairs. Additionally, a majority of the parking is across the street. For that reason, I wouldn't take someone with limited mobility there but I enjoyed it and I would return.

Huge palm trees, lush greenery, string lights and wicker lanterns hanging from the trees, all overlooking the water. It has that dreamy Old Florida atmosphere that makes you want to stay all night. Margarita -- perfectly balanced. Crab Rangoon Dip -- delicious and VERY kid-approved. They ate it up and immediately asked for more. Grouper Platter -- pan-seared grouper with whipped mashed potatoes, shrimp + lump crab. Absolutely delicious. Of all the restaurants we tried this trip, Old Florida Fish House was my favorite. THE PICKY B RATING: OBSESSED I'd go out of my way for it. The food, the drinks, the atmosphere--it checked every box. 30A, you were very good to us. Until next time. #ThePickyB #30A #FloridaFoodie #OldFloridaFishHouse #FamilyTravel

The atmosphere is amazing--peaceful, calm, beautiful, and the perfect setting for a relaxing dinner. The service was great from start to finish. We started with the Thai chicken wraps, the Jon the 2nd Roll, and a special appetizer with shrimp and whipped goat cheese. Everything was delicious! For dinner, the coconut mahi was to die for, and the Parmesan linguine tasted homemade and was absolutely incredible. And whatever you do, don't skip dessert! We tried the key lime pie, chocolate lava cake, crème brûlée, and peanut butter pie, and every single one was delicious. Between the beautiful atmosphere, wonderful service, and incredible food, The Bay has quickly become one of our favorites. This was our second visit, but definitely won't be our last. We would recommend it every time!

WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO COME HERE?! and because i have so much time to make up for, i came again less than two weeks later and brought my daughter so she could experience the amazingness. it's a small restaurant like the cafe in FWB, but there's no wait! the staff and service is great!! first time i ordered the domo chashu black ramen with spice and the ragin godzilla roll. it was so much food for me i had to take it home. the flavor in the broth with the subtle spice was just incredible. and the chashu pork was literally out of this world good. the way it was seared gave it such a depth of flavor that isn't common with that kind of pork in ramen. at least not anywhere i've been. the sushi roll was one of my favorites ive ever had. i brought my kid here a week later because i wanted AND NEEDED that ramen again. it might've been even better the second time. idk. i finished it all because i didn't get a roll with it. my daughter got the techno roll and was in sushi heaven. for the record, she's 8 yrs old. techno roll is a cucumber roll with raw fish, roe, and micro greens, and she ate almost the entire thing minus a couple pieces. she loved it. i'm raising a foodie so don't underestimate her taste buds. you need to come here for GREAT sushi and ramen when in the Destin area. i'm already drooling thinking about coming back for the ramen.

Their fried rice game is weak... like severely no bueno. Rice with a bit of soy sauce and then chopped chicken thru out. For $14, can we even get some chopped onion or carrot or anything?! It was dry and not a win at all. The sashimi: a good deal better. Pieces weren't big, but I didn't feel cheated. Will I head back? We'll see... again, maybe after tourist season.

Recommendations: Crab Cake…read moreChinese Barbecue Duck We visited Basmati's Asian Cuisine on a Thursday night with a group of six to celebrate Chinese New Year. The atmosphere felt welcoming from the moment we arrived, and the staff made the evening special. We started with the Basmati's Pu-Pu Platter, which is a sampling of dumplings, spring rolls, and crab cake. The standout item was definitely the crab cake. It was full of seafood flavoured, while the dumplings and spring rolls were more standard. If you want to try something special, I would recommend ordering the crab cake on its own instead. Next, we had the Firecracker Grouper, a tempura-fried grouper served with a spicy sweet and sour sauce. The fish itself was fresh and nicely fried, but the sauce did not quite work for me. It lacked sweetness and did not enhance the flavor of the fish. Compared to the crab cake, this dish did not have a wow factor. The Chinese Barbecue Duck was a highlight. The duck breast was served on top of a scallion tempura pancake, which made the dish feel creative and innovative. Both the duck and the pancake tasted great. The plating of all the dishes was top notch, and our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant also offers outdoor seating, but since it was a bit chilly at night, we decided to dine inside.
