Party of 4 not that busy when we arrived.service was a 2 of 5. We ordered 5 sushi rolls they brought 4 and the rolls were not correct. There were two missing sauces and jalapeños. The servers option was to bring them to the table instead of taking them back to be corrected. We did not get much follow up service and it took 30 minutes to get the check. The sushi did seem fresh but lackluster and incomplete. Disappointing... read more

We had a really nice dinner here. The food was good and the view was great. Service was good too. We didn't have to wait at all. 7 pm on Tuesday night. A win!! read more

My poke bowl came 40 min after my family was done eating. Food was great, staff was either rude or incompetent. No offer to comp a meal or cocktail. Good food, terrible management and staff. read more

We chose this restaurant for a bachelorette trip dinner. The bartender was very unaccommodating right out of the gate as she made a drink for one of the three girls sitting at the bar and it was awful and she was hesitant and uncaring when I asked to change it to something else, not to mention she was charged $15 for this drink!!! The rest of our party arrived to the restaurant a girl that was 28 showed her ID and was denied alcohol. As the bartender believed her ID was not real because it was a Colorado ID, but she had flown in for the bachelorette trip. There were three moms on this trip the three moms order drinks at which time the bartender took it upon herself to arrive at the table to check everyone's IDs. service was awful. Food took forever. Food was not good and it was just an overall bad experience. the bartender, then took it upon herself to follow two of the girls out of the restaurant, asking their name and informing them that she was calling all the bartenders on the harborwalk to let them know not to serve these girls, this was very undeserving, as there were no harsh words whatsoever between our party and the bartender despite her awful attitude and service! Can't say the restaurant is bad other than our waitress was terrible and our food was not served properly and it was not good, but minus the awful bartender service maybe our perspective might have been a little different. read more

This is one of our favorite places to eat in Destin! During our 2 week stay we usually go at least twice! Great food, great service and you can't beat the location. We've never had a bad dish! read more

They were able to seat us immediately when boshamps had a 2 hr wait. Food was excellent, I loved my fish and grits with snapper, husband had chefs platter with grouper. Kids were happy with chicken strips, cheeseburger fries and green beans. Wish they had oysters on the half shell but we were hungry and didn't want to keep searching. read more

My favorite place to go for seafood when on vacation in the area. We typically stay 20 miles or so east, but I am always willing to fight the traffic to get to Harbor Docks. Consistently excellent seafood with a great view. What's not to love? Best fried shrimp you will ever eat! read more

It was mid We tried every one of those spicy sauces and none of them were actually spicy It was also pretty bland At least the people were nice read more

Had an amazing lunch here! I ordered the blackened grouper and my girlfriend had the grouper tacos. Both were very good, but I'd pick the blackened grouper over the tacos! The service was good and had a decent beer selection. We sat on the back deck, which was very nice. Overall I'd return here again on my next trip. FYI, for those who are concerned, masks were non-existent here. My party and I were the minority by wearing masks. The seating outside was spaced out enough where I believe anyone would feel safe though! read more

This was our first time to Harbor docks and it was very enjoyable. Food was good and we sure enjoyed the beautiful view.

After watching a review of this restaurant on the "Beach News" station in our condo, we were all very excited for our dinner here. ....however, we were quite disappointed by our meals and service. We were seated within in 30 minutes after being given a wait of one to one and a half hours. It then took nearly 15 minutes for our waitress to come to our table at which point she explained the entree options and took both our drink and meal orders. When my 19 yr old son asked the side options for his entree, she informed him, " I already told you that!" Not quite the right foot to get off on - we were seated outside with boats and a loud table nearby...maybe he just didn't hear her. Two of our party ordered sprite and the syrup had ran out - it happens, no big deal - but the waitress didn't return to check on us for quite some time, so my 14 yr old son took the glasses inside, explained the situation, and got our new drinks. The food came fairly quickly and 3 of my 5 were disappointed. My middle son had the grilled fish of the day tacos - it was supposed to come with a mango salsa and chipotle slaw. We honestly can't tell you what was on it... it appeared to be yam-colored and pureed - not appetizing. My son's girlfriend ordered the stuffed gulf shrimp - it appeared they had wrapped their version of a crab cake around the shrimp and wrapped it in bacon. Unfortunately, very greasy and not at all appetizing - she was nauseous the rest of the evening. I ordered the gulf grouper parmadine with mashed potatoes and green beans (veggie of the day). The fish was dry and seemed as if it had been under a heat lamp most of the day. The potatoes were flavorless. The other 2 in our party had the chef's platter - they were satisfied, but I tried their crab cakes and was not impressed - greasy, crumbly, and as if they had deep fried in breading. I believe our waitress only check on us 2-3 times during our entire 1+ hour visit. The one plus to it all was catching the 9pm fireworks show hosted by Harbor Walk Village. Overall, I would not choose this restaurant again. read more

Worst possible service. You shouldn't have to ask 3 times for each thing you need and later be dismissed by the manager. Food barely passable with the exception of the gumbo, which isn't given that it had literally no seafood in it; basically just rice and celery. How does that happen? The second star is just for the view. read more

The location and the setting was fantastic. I went to this restaurant on my 22yr Anniversary celebrating love and life. Unfortunately we had to wait for over an hour until our food came which made the kids cranky and our beautiful night ugly. The food was prepared well but seemed to have been sitting for a while. The manager/owner apologized and said it was a busy weekend and paid for our appetizers, which was a nice gesture. Hopefully under normal circumstances this place will match its meal with its amazing scenery and decor. read more

Had the shrimp & grits. Grits were very dry with almost no butter or cheese. They also have no ranch dressing for salads. read more

If it isn't sushi then it's not worth going here. We ordered an array of items on the menu and each one were terrible. My husband had the grouper and it was so bland and dry. I personally had the Ribeye and it was by far the worst steak I've ever had. I've had much better steaks at big chain restaurants (which is sad).The view is stunning so it was very disappointing that the food was so awful. read more

Amazing food and service! Sushi was a little backed up so make sure to order quickly! Would highly recommend

Looking to try a new place today we settled on Harbor Docks. We have driven by many times but never stopped. We are glad we did! With the many menu options to choose from and the added bonus sushi menu made it difficult to choose. There are so many delectable items to choose from. We settled on Conch nigiri for an app, grilled shrimp and a grilled black grouper sandwich. All of the items were excellent and the side dishes were as much a hit as the main feature Prices are very affordable and much better than many of the other spots to chose from and has a local feel more so than a tourist spot. We will definitely be back! read more

Friendly service, but the food is marginal at best. Very eclectic menu options - I mean where else can you get sushi served with a hospital cafeteria bowl to pour your soy into? read more

Food is very good, and decently priced. The sushi selection is amazing. I had the Pineapple Express roll and it was a very interesting mix of savory and spiciness. The rice and grits are extremely flavorful. Portions are not huge but not terribly small. Our waiter was very polite and accommodating. Inside the restaurant is decorated very well, and the view of the harbor is very nice. It also feels very nice inside the restaurant with the breeze of the sea blowing through. I would highly recommend this place to any Destin travelers. read more

Wonderful welcome by the GM! Sat at the bar to get a good feel for this place and perhaps some conversation. Great beer, mediocre cocktails, and that's it! Inattentive bartender and apprentice who didn't know the drink menu. Wanted to eat but no service. Empty glass, empty belly, left with an empty impression of a supposedly good place. Unfortunately, empty-headed bar staff are not versed in service. Mike was only concerned with talking with people that he knew. Big ego in a small pond. Returned for lunch the next day to give this local haunt with good credentials another chance. Passed the bar... on to the outdoor deck and feasted on grouper and swordfish! Wow! Delicious, fresh caught fish grilled to perfection. Great server, thank you Emily. Lesson learned: don't judge a restaurant only by the bar!! Lunch: 5 star, Bar: 1 star. read more

Very small menu with weird variety. There were no side options. I didn't want a salad because there was no choices for dressing, I asked for a replacement side & she said there were no other options. Grilled grouper was flavorful but small portion size. read more

Seafood with Asian influence is how we described it. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food. The four of us all had different entrees from the menu and each of them were delicious. We were able to get a table quickly and our waitress was polite and hustled. We will come here again next time we visit Destin. read more

I came here back in July while on a birthday trip with some of my friends. The view was absolutely beautiful around sunset, and the back patio has a good view of some nice boats. They had a great wine list, and nearly everything on the menu sounded so delicious. The house salads that come with most of the menu items are​ different than a "normal" house salad. It's got these great little mandarin orange slices on it instead of tomatoes and cucumbers. I feel that it really helps add ​the personality of the place​​ ​since they have some sushi options. It was a pleasant surprise! We ordered the spring rolls for an appetizer, and everyone liked them. All were satisfied with their entree choice as well. I chose the Stuffed Gulf Shrimp and was fullThe bathrooms were clean, and the wait staff was wonderfully pleasant. My friends and I had a really memorable dinner! A couple of weeks ago, my boyfriend and I took a day trip to Destin and I requested that we come back to Harbor Docks because I had such a great experience there a few weeks prior. It did not disappoint! This time, I got the smoked tuna dip​ but ordered the same entree (Stuffed Gulf Shrimp) because I literally had been thinking about it every day for weeks. My boyfriend got the fish & grits and said it was probably the best plate of fish & grits he has ever had. He did say it was a teensy bit spicy, so be cautious if you aren't a big fan of spice. I can't wait for my next trip to Destin so I can eat here again. Do you yourself a favor and try it! read more

"So sorry, our staff is overwhelmed and we just can't seat anymore people" There were 15, maybe 20 tables open! It was a Wed night at 5:45pm! The comical part of it is, the staff was literally standing around and the place looked like it was managed by 12 year olds. 3-4 years ago it was different here. Harbor Docks, like many places on the harbor, has hit new lows. The expectation of a great meal with wonderful service should be left in the car when you park. The food here is below average at best and the level of service for the price is comical. Seriously, it's bad. If you're in town for the first time and just HAVE to try it out, I get it. Pretty views (for an even longer wait HA), boats to see and fun for toddlers. But do NOT expect much more! Bright side...If you're lucky enough to get a spot at the sushi bar, take it. Good sushi. Not good enough to raise my review, but good. It's a shame to watch the old landmark restaurants fall apart. read more

I would not recommend this place for people who have gluten allergies. The waitress I had didn't do anything to reassure me and looked clueless when I was asking her whether certain foods were gluten free. Whenever I asked about the sauce on the tuna roll she said cockily "It's just Spicy Mayo" as if I was dumb and she wasn't going to go check the ingredients. The tuna roll itself was not very good looking, it was simply tuna sloppily placed in rice with spicy Mayo. I was too nervous to eat it because she wouldn't reassure me it was gluten free. I know the people behind us received their food cold and had to have everything reheated. The seafood platter my associate had was 25$ and only had 4-5 pieces of shrimp, mainly the plate was filled with fries. Sadly I don't have any photos of the food. read more

Only giving it two stars because it was edible... food was not good at all. Service was slow, and just not impressed. Super unhappy about the $75 my husband and i just spent. Don't let the wait from boshamps suck you in... WAIT FOR BOSHAMPS. I repeat--wait for boshamps!!! read more

On a Sunday night there was only a couple of tables occupied. I ordered grilled snapper and my husband got a couple of sushi rolls. Service was a bit slow. We walked out both saying the food was "meh" read more

Dang good -- All the bartenders are wonderful. Sushi bar --// YES the sushi bar is the best. Grouper is Hella awesome!!! read more

This restaurant is excellent. The food, especially the sushi is some of the best I have had. The service was excellent and we have made this our number one must have in Destin. read more

Went for dinner last night and it was amazing! Got a seat outside overlooking the water at sunset! Amazing views! The food was surprisingly spectacular. We ordered the shrimp scampi dip to start. I ordered a couple of their local craft beers (East Pass IPA and another one that the name escapes me but it was a wheat beer) Delicious! My wife and I shared the grouper entree (in season and we had heard great things) it was downright incredible! Cheesy coating with almond chips and delicious mashed potatoes along with a Caesar salad made it one of the best meals of our trip! We also got a side of hush puppies that didn't disappoint! Make sure you get butter and cocktail sauce with them! We finished the meal with their key lime pie and it was amazing and sweet! To top it off they had great service. First class experience. I even got a cool t-shirt and sticker for my beer fridge. We'll be back next time we're in Destin for sure! read more

The best fresh seafood right out of the water! Family owned business that supplies many local restaurants with their seafood. The best sushi I've ever had. Love the bite size sushi that they offer. BOGO sushi lunch specials! Also has what I call a blue plate special every day. Very friendly servers. Great customer service. read more

We stayed in Miramar Beach for a week and ate out every day. This was by far our favorite meal from the whole week! We had 2 adults and 3 children and everybody was more than pleased with their meal. It's right on the Harbor so we got to watch the boats coming in and the birds all around. There was no wait and the service was great. We highly recommend and will definitely be back!! read more

Gave this place a shot. The google reviews are better and I believe Yelpers are harsher. This was the best food we've had since being in Destin. Guy Feiri should stop by because this was flavor town. I'm always cautious at a restaurant that has numerous food groups or origins. But Harbor Docks does it well. The burger, was one of my top three throughout all of my travels. Their smoked Gouda topping made this burger pop. My son loved their swordfish as apart of the seafood platter. My only draw back. Their fried rice was very greasy, had little flavor and truly should be removed from the menu. However, the shrimp was melt in your mouth amazing so that earned a 5 star rating. Service was a teamwork environment with smiles. I was really not expecting this at all. You can eat inside or by the harbor. They catch all their own fresh seafood each day. read more

Sushi is awesome. Service BLOWS!!!! From the hostes to servers... Sadly, every time we go. we love the food but damn... we just walked out after being there for 15 min and no server came to our table. read more

The food was good but the server pretty much ruined the experience for our family. Devynn P was the most negative person I have encountered lately. Everything we asked about we were given a "well............you can order that.but it's going to be 45 minutes." Ok. Can you tell me how big "xxx" is? "Well that's going to take 30 minutes ". Ok. "Can we get more tea please?" YES, but I ONLY HAVE TWO HANDS. I felt us being there was a huge inconvenience for her. We were so looking forward to dining there as our neighbors visited twice in one week. Truly never had such an experience. read more

They say they don't take reservations yet there were 7pm reservations listed on their waitlist when we arrived at 540. We had a party of 10 (4 adults, 6 kids) and we're told an hour. After waiting an hour, I go to the hostess stand and notice that everyone after us has been seated so I kindly say, "if it will be quicker, we can divide OR we have hungry little kids and we can squish". She says "ma'am the issue is that we just don't have tables". When we finally get our table, we notice the table next to us has "reserved" signs - yet they don't take reservations?! It was a super frustrating experience. And to boot, they said their sushi takes longer than their cooked food... an hour longer. As residents of Destin, we'll find somewhere else to dine. read more

This place was wonderful! Had a wonderful array of sushi that was so fresh and delicious. Our server Dawn was so sweet and made our meal so enjoyable. We will definitely make this a definite stop for dinner next time we are back in Destin area. read more

Came here after seeing a TikTok hype this place up and I'll tell you this most over hyped placed services was awful the young lady had a nasty attitude. For the price it's not worth it 19$ for 6 sushi rolls and don't even get the nigar Salomon it only comes with two rolls honestly for the money I paid I rather go to the back porch at least there the food taste worth the price. Also bring a flash light cuz this place is pitch black inside read more

This place was fine, but nothing special- it even felt a little run down. I went for sushi, so can only rate on that. The sushi was fine, but not that great, especially for the price. I definitely wish I had gone to Marina Cafe instead, when I tried their sushi a few days later. I also had the seaweed salad, which was good, but tasted just like the premade version you can get at Costco. There are plenty of other restaurants on the water that had better food, in my opinion. read more
