This post rating is only based upon the surcharge that is tacked on the bill if paying by card. The negative is just that.. the surcharge if using credit cards without me knowing prior to getting the bill. Negative: (They did not tell me the actual reason however knowing how money works, I presumed the reason.) While I do understand the reasoning because the credit cards charge a service fee for using their system, it is no appropriate to get it through the customer without telling them before hand. I did not appreciate the surprise of the increase on the bill. Positive: great views, food and service. read more

Nice lunch on the patio. Solid 4, Primarily because of how accommodating the restaurant was and how friendly the staff is. Not saying the food was bad, it was above average for Destin for sure. The prices are in line with what you find at the other seafood restaurants in the area, $20-30 a plate. Smoked Yellowfin Tuna Dip: It was good, basically tuna salad. However the homemade chips were the star of the dish. I think its fines, but for $16 would probably not order it again. Catch and Cook or Hook and Cook: This is the primary reason we stopped in. We had a fishing charter in the morning and caught many fish. Harbor Docks is very accustomed to cooking patrons catches. And the best part it was only $16 or so a person "at lunch", while most places charged over $20. I was also able to get them to throw in some fish taco makings for a small charge. I highly recommend doing that, the mango salsa was very good. Fried Fish: good, nicely cooked with a crunchy batter. Blackened Fish: Not bad, but I think the fried fish came out much better. Probably because of the filets we provided were not that big. Ginger Rice: Never had it before and it is 100% worth a try. On the good side it was cooked nicely and had a great flavor, on the down side it seemed to be uncle bens rice? or a rice I am not used to eating... it was not jasmine or long grain. Slaw: Ok, gave the tacos some crunch. It needed some spice. Mango Salsa: great flavor, not spicy. It made a great addition to the Ginger rice and tacos. Natural Cut Fries: Meh. mixed bag, some were cooked nice and crunchy other floppy. In the end I highly recommend stopping in if you are looking for somewhere to cook your catch. Opt for patio seating if the weather is nice, because it has a good view of the Docks. I would recommend and return. read more

We come here every year with our family and it'susuallya good experience. We came on a Monday and the service was terrible. There were 2 different sets of guests that were sat right next to us before we got our food. One of the guests at our table didn't get her wine until after we waited 30 minutes and I finally had to go to the bar and order for ourselves. The food was good but that was about it. read more

Food was great! Seating arrangement was a little confusing. It's first come first serve seating, but they had available seating for the sushi bar. I told the hostess it was a table for 5 and we wanted sushi. She said she would seat me as soon as my party arrived (they parked the car in the complimentary garage across the street). When they walked in she pointed in the direct of the bar but I don't think she realized there were only 2 seats available. We walked back to the table and just asked for a regular table, first available. They told us it would be an hour and a half wait. We got a call saying our table was ready and got lucky and was seated outside on the deck :) got to watch the sun go down! The sushi was backed up an hour so we quickly placed those orders. When it finally did arrive, we did not think it was worth the wait. It was good sushi but not worth waiting one hour. The rest of the entrees were delicious! Hot and fresh. I got the fried chicken with pasta and cream sauce. I thought it was delicious! Definitely try to arrive early if you plan on going here. Or wait till 8PM when the wait isn't as long. read more

Great service from Tilda, apps of pot stickers were fire, uptown shrimp and gumbo were really well prepared. We had several different sushi rolls withe mudbug, and big poppi being the favs. Wife loves the chefs platter with swordfish, stuffed shrimp and crab cake were all excellent. My grouper was a nice filet and well prepared. Again our server was spot on. Several drink orders, menu changes, additional apps and she never blinked an eye. 5 star service, flavor, quality and satisfaction. Would return any day! Awesome view and vibe. read more

Fresh local seafood with daily specials. Sushi made to order. Kind of expensive for what you get and was under seasoned. Service was good, friendly, and knowledgeable. Parking on site. Indoor and outdoor seating. On the harbor. We got there at 4:30 on a Friday and had no wait. When we left at 5:30 there still didn't seem too busy. read more

An overdue review based on a visit in late 2023. Seafood is pretty fresh and good - on par with other highly rated restaurants in Destin. They are obviously going for the fusion routes now, but still have some conventional items. Service is prompt and friendly. Balcony has nice view of the inlet where you will likely see pelicans and other birds, possibly dolphins. It is fairly expensive but nothing outrageous comparing to everywhere else these days. read more

Ate here twice during my stay in Destin! Here are the highlights: Shrimp app: Very good! Hush puppies: Huge portion, also good. Hamachi nigiri: Tasted super fresh. Gumbo: SO good, this is a must get. Pad Thai: Skip this dish, not good. Service was just okay but the food was good especially the sushi and gumbo, recommend those the most. FYI to note, the average wait for sushi on a weekend is an hour plus so recommend a weekday lunch for sushi! read more

I really wanted to like this place but found it a bit lacking especially with the service. We had tables sit down after us, got to order first and left way before we did. To start we got the tuna and chips which were very good and I appreciated that the tuna wasn't mayo based. We also ordered the panhandle roll from the sushi bar. The sushi does take at least 30 minutes to come out (and we said it can come out whenever it was ready). It was very good and fresh, just wish the roll didn't fall apart so easily when we ate it. We ordered the catch of the day which was the swordfish and the chef's platter with blackened red snapper. The swordfish was good. Loved the stuffed shrimp and crab cake, the shrimps had crispy bacon in the outside and the crab cake has the perfect crunch on the outside and seasoned perfectly on the inside. However, the veggies were very mushy, they were probably frozen. The red snapper was extremely salty and way overcooked. I had to leave it behind because it was completely inedible. Otherwise, everything else was good. read more

Great atmosphere. All the food was cooked perfectly and portions were enough to share. The sushi is a must as an appetizer or meal.

We were really pleased with our meal here. We were seated right away, even though the service was a little slow. The sushi chef was behind on orders so they let us know the wait would be about 30 minutes for the food. The fish was very fresh and flavorful and prices to be expected for the area. They had a lot of options on the menu and the portions were good. We will be back! read more

Went to Harbor Docks after a scuba trip just a few blocks from the restaurant. Went in expecting it to be mediocre from past reviews. We arrived for a late lunch to find the place not very busy. Greeted immediately and were able to get a table overlooking the water. Very pleasant view. I ordered the stuffed shrimp, and my family ordered fried seafood platter which was grouper that day and gulf fish tacos. All the seafood was great. Youngest wasn't the biggest fan of the mango salsa but I thought it was good. Stuffed shrimp were amazing. Server was very nice and our food came out quick and hot! read more

Great food, service and fair prices. Our server recommended the red snapper which was an ample serving with 2 sides and a salad. We sat outside - there was no wait for a table. Highly recommend and will put this on my to go places next time I'm in Destin. read more

We stumbled upon this place after discovering the eatery we were headed to charged $20 for parking. (Yikes!) THIS place has a private parking lot, so it gets 5 stars for that! But, the food was SO good, too! The spring rolls were flakey and delicious, and my family especially loved the hush puppies and the cucumber salad sides that came with their main courses. Our server was super friendly. And, we were seated outside at a nice shady table with a great view of the boats floating by. All-in-all, we will definitely be back! read more

We had a lovely evening dining on the patio. Drinks were decent. We ordered the grilled snapper and surf n turf for our entrees. We also split a sushi roll that had pineapple in it! It was sooo good and I've never had sushi with pineapple. Our dining experience would've been better if there was some music playing on the patio. We could hear everyone's conversations around us and it was distracting. read more
