    Very welcoming and friendly place. Peaceful atmosphere with ample parking. Lots of bar drinks and bites. Fresh catch and grouper is a plus. Dogs are allowed on the patio deck which is a requirement for us when we travel. They even have a dog park which was very much needed for our pup. They would get a higher rating if they had less fried food and more health-conscious items. The service was friendly yet the order delivery to table was quite slow. There are TV's for sports watching and a fish clean-up station. What a nice find!

    Really like this place. Lots of outdoor seating on the water. Big menu. I had the chicken salad and it was great!

    Sitting on the patio at Marina Bar & Grill enjoying the food and a sunset.

    Beautiful spot, good service, delicious food. We even took our dog and ate on the patio by the bay

    La Quesadilla with steak - tasted fine, but weighed down by the amount of filling
    Lisa G.

    Stopped here with family on a Friday night and all the tables were full but in less than five minutes a table had left so we grabbed that table. Smaller parties of 2 or 3 could easily belly up to the bar/ledge seating they have that looks out to the marina. I don't think they take reservations (looked online and didn't see any directions for making one) so I think you have to just roll the dice as a walk-in and see how busy or not busy they are. The service was a lovely 5-stars for our waitress, don't remember her name but she was blonde with an accent, who handled our entire table efficiently with a smile and got us whatever we needed. My Stress Reliever cocktail was perfect (vodka, coconut rum, & pineapple & cranberry juices) so I recommend their drinks! The food is the only thing that could use improvement. It's good, but nothing great, and some things were a little off. As an example, my steak quesadilla was too thick/weighed down with filling so the tortilla got soggy. Others in our party thought their dishes could have used more flavor or seasoning. Just a few tweaks could probably make a big difference. Regardless, the setting right on the dock of the marina is gorgeous especially as the sun sets. And our dog was welcomed since we were sitting outside. We all had a nice time even if the food wasn't exceptional. I recommend this for casual diners who just want a quick bite or drinks, it's probably good for kids too given the straight-forward menu.

    Good food in a laidback atmosphere reminiscent of Captain Tony's on the pier. We had the Cesar Salad with grilled chicken fried grouper with fresh slaw & fries and a delicious cheeseburger

    Great "dive" beach bar. Views of the marina were great. The bartender was super nice and recommended great food selections. The fish sandwich was delicious! Onion rings- freshly made! Prices were not bad at all The do serve breakfast too!!

    Loved the food at the marina restaurant inside our resort at Sandestin. It was so good we ate here three times during our 6 day stay. Things to know....seating can be hard to secure and you seat yourself. Some bar top tables inside around the bar and an assortment of covered and exposed tables outside on the do k. Located right on the marina you can get her by free resort shuttle, golf cart, boat, car (there is a parking lot by the tennis courts) or by walking. It's a short walk from Baytowne Wharf two ways, one through a shaded trail, and another over a deck walkway over the marsh lands, which we enjoyed. On the way you see native birds, lizards, and there's even a public tree house with great views. Prices were fair and portion sizes generous. I especially enjoyed the marine Rachel sandwich with tropical Cole slaw that contained pineapple. The loaded fries appetizer was huge and more than enough for two people. The downfall is service is slow and not very attentive. Each time we had to hunt them down for a check and it took forever to get our card back. It's not like they are short staffed either as they had plentr6of servers, buyers, and food runners. Forget about getting a refill! I should also mention the restaurant is adjacent to a small sandy bay beach complete with chairs and a fire pit. Can't find a seat grab your grub to go and eat on the beach!

    Great place to chill, especially during happy hour. Sandestin owners get a discount too. Great view and the food is good, the fries are my favorite. You can also help yourself to a free soft serve ice cream inside for owners and renters in Sandestin. Dog friendly too!!

    Stopped for a late lunch while cruising around the wharf, looking in shops and exploring. We discovered this little bar and grill located right on the mariana. We ate outside and it was a bit chilly but nice atmosphere. Service was good and food decent. I split a bacon avocado sandwich that came with fries and then added a slaw. Huge serving, plenty of food for two and everything was pretty good. Sandwich was on Texas toast and could have had another piece or two of bacon for my taste and a bit more avocado but tasted good. Fries and slaw both very good. Good service nice setting and decent food. I would recommend. Parking near the tennis courts and then you meander back to the bar. You can rent stuff back in that area as well, looks like.

    Great casual dinner spot in Sandestin. We usually go here at least once whenever we are in town. It's a great spot for families because it is less crowded than the wharf, has a great kids menu, solid grown up menu, and a beer, cocktail, and wine list. An easy golf cart ride within Sandestin with plenty of cart parking. They have a parrot living outside named Mary Ann our kids love, and it's right on the marina with great views and scenery you can walk right up to. I recommend the grouper sandwich. They claim it is famous; I don't know about that but it is really good. The patio is great and so is the service. I highly recommend as a casual dinner spot if you are in the area with your family.

After adding the protein, it was a little pricy, but I was really impressed with how it turned out! Although there was a long wait for the salad, the waiter was keen in giving updates and asked if there was anything he could do for us. He also didn't judge me for ordering a salad over some traditional eggs for breakfast! Once I got the salad, I ran a full inspection. The leaves were very fresh, chicken was cooked well, and there were anchovies! True Caesar! Overall, my girlfriend and I were very impressed with the meals we got there while staying over our two day staycation. Would recommend!

I ate breakfast here and I wish I didn't. The food was okay but the staff!!!! The table beside me asked someone who was cleaning tables to get the waitress. She cleaned and set 2 tables before notifying staff. Most staff weren't rude they were just oblivious. I say most because the greeter started my brunch on the wrong foot as she had to see if there was room for me after I explained I had a reservation. She also greeted guest who came behind me before getting to me. They she fully got them settled before telling me she will need to see if a table is ready. There are no breakfast items on the kids menu for brunch. The waiter provided an explanation/solution so confusing she lost 4 adults across 2 tables. I needed a coffee refill and tried to waive down 2 waitress unsuccessfully while mines served others coffee. My table needed a straw. We waited 10 mins as the waitress served others, forgot, bought us food, was reminded, served others again and eventually came over with a straw. It took 20 minutes to cash out. We needed to go items and it took forever to get the check, containers and a bag. Anyhow there is a small cafe connected to restaurant but it has its own billing and serving area. Just go there. The hotel also doesn't have a fridge. They have a cooler so don't bother with leftovers as they will spoil.

This is now our new family place to go! We went to Tommy Bahamas for the first time tonight and not only was the food amazing, the service was exceptional! Coming from a customer service and sales industry, the waitress all the way up to the General Manager went out of the way to make sure we felt 5 service. I was a little overwhelmed with all of the delicious options and the waitress (Krishna?) was so great to explain some of the top favorites and I loved all of her suggestions! The Manager, Niko (?) and I believe the GM (I think his name was Don or Dirk) stopped by the table and genuinely cared about our experience as they were walking around greeting others. We walked away truly impressed overall and are anxious to go back! The atmosphere, the half off happy hour and the live music was all welcoming and enjoyable! Don't sleep on this amazing place nestled in Grand Boulevard, we are so thrilled we took a chance and walked in today!

The last time here the same hostess sat us at a dirty table, we told her about it, so she seated us at another dirty table. Complained about that but she would not wipe the table so we sat in a totally different area. That's just inexcusable laziness. (hear that management?).
