    I was frustrated when our group picked this restaurant. It was a work trip and work was paying for it and they picked Ocean Club at the time a 3star restaurant. I guess for our group size of 12 it was the only thing we could get. But we had a great meal The bread service was good The appetizers were good Salad was just okay Steak perfectly cooked Service was fine I would definitely come back.

    Pretending to be high cuisine on a old drained island!! Expensive is something you can't afford But high prices for low quality!!!! ?? Old buildings with damp humidity Is not worth it!!!! Not worth it Honestly bad !! If I could reduce the service to a 1/4 it wouldn't matter!! Perfect for people who don't have a clue about what they're doing!! I wouldn't expect change of quality anytime soon So my advice is don't be afraid to take a detour!

    Lucky pick! We wanted to try a local place for dinner near our hotel on this visit and so so glad we picked this restaurant! What a treasure! Everything turned out great! Great food, Calamari, Crab Cake, Veal, Chicken, Coconut Cream Pie and Crème Brûlée... Our wait staff, Sean, was so pleasant! The music ... loved the selection, made you want to dance into the night... Live music Wednesday Friday and Saturday night... best night on this trip! Thank you

    I would love to tell you about the food at The Ocean Club, but we never got that far. Our reservations were for 5:45 on 9/27/23 to catch their Early Bird Special 2 for 1. We arrived early and were seated at 5:45, 15 minutes before the advertised 2 for 1 ended. This is where things go south. Asking our waiter about the special 2 for 1, he looked at us confused because we were seated with the full price menus. Remember, Ocean Club advertises 2 for 1, 5:00-6:00 and our waiter stated the special cuts off at 5:45. Hmmm, sounds like false advertising to me. We have dined at other establishments that honor 5:00-6:00, as long as the server takes your order by 6:00. We asked our waiter to inquire about our eligibility for the 2 for 1 special. He said the hostess gave us the regular priced menus and the 2 for 1 ended at 5:45. He said he would check with the manager, and when he came back he said, since you have the full priced menus, you can't get the 2 for 1. The owner comes in at 6:30, and you can talk to him if you want. At this point we decided to leave the restaurant. The only person concerned that we were leaving without eating was the valet. Waiter - nope Hostess - nope Valet - yep So to summarize Ocean Club adversities 2 for 1 special from 5:00-6:00, but cuts it off at 5:45. Go somewhere else and enjoy. Disappointed though, was really excited to try this restaurant. We visit Destin several times a year and a friend recommended I try it out this time. Needless to say, we will take our business elsewhere.

First time here for 2/3 of us and we didn't have a reservation (which is recommended) but we got lucky! Started with a delicious cocktail -Watermelon jalapeño martini, my husband had an old fashioned & friend had a traditional martini. They do have an extensive wine list but we aren't win people. We started with the Lobster Spring Roll which was out of this world! We could have ate several more of them. For dinner we each got an entree and shared all three meals. We had the lamb chops, the Ahi tuna and one of the specials which was a red fish with lump crab on top (that was my favorite! but all were really good) We enjoyed sitting at the bar (the tone was light and carefree) we were able to converse with the bartenders and other guests instead of being on the formal quiet dining room. I ordered a second drink bc it looked too good not to try -the pear martini and it was so good and refreshing! Would order again. We definitely visit again on future trips worth the price tag. Good quality food and beverages.

Our server was professional and clearly doing everything she could, but she was assigned several large tables and was completely overwhelmed. It was obvious she needed help, yet no one stepped in to support her. As a result, we waited at least an hour and a half for our dinners. To make matters worse, our bill included a charge that shouldn't have been there. When we politely spoke with management about our experience, we weren't looking to get anyone in trouble--we simply wanted them to understand what had happened and make it right. Instead of addressing the excessive wait or the billing error in a meaningful way, management instructed our server to remove her gratuity from the bill rather than taking responsibility themselves. That response said everything. The problems we experienced were clearly management issues, not our server's. She worked hard under impossible circumstances and deserved support, not to have her tip used as the solution. We made things right for our server, and stressed to her that this was not her fault. The kitchen produces great food, and the restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. Unfortunately, poor management overshadowed what could have been a great dining experience. I hope they invest more in supporting their staff and taking ownership when things go wrong.

The whole place is open air, so you won't be escaping that panhandle humidity. The place is also super popular! So come early or be prepared to wait. The tables also tend to be very close. I can't say it's the most relaxing dining experience. But the food is good. I've always gotten the coconut shrimp and the servings are huge! The hush puppies are also so good. The slaw wasn't my favorite though. I also got a yummy virgin banana daiquiri. They also have lots of fun tropical adult beverages and they have a bar out front so if you do have to wait for a table, you do not have to wait for a drink! Our server took care of our party of 8-4 kids and 4 adults--masterfully, never getting flustered by my screaming toddler or our many and varied requests. Great job to him. Also the kids meals are served on a frisbee you can take home--a fun little souvenir. Like I said, this place is a classic and a must go at least once while in the area. The coconut cake is also delicious!

Hating your job is fine but making other people's dinner awful isn't what you're in your job for. Since he decided to call people out on tips I'll call him out on his attitude and awful behavior. Tips are expected it seems in this day and age even if your waiter is awful. One, you shouldn't be talking or being rude to children but that's exactly what he did. Having a horrible attitude towards them and my party of people. 100% wouldn't recommend coming here if you are looking to be welcomed and treated like a human.
