    I'm going to base this review on the dinner. The brunch was not amazing, but let's focus on dinner. The cocktails were delicious! The server was kind and helpful. I got the chicken and it was a great entree! My husband got the steak and my friend did a sort of make-your-own meal where she added scallops to her dish. We all real enjoyed it, but the best part of it all was the Cesar salad! LOVE that salad! And the sunset views are exceptional!

    this was a lovely place we stopped in rosemary beach. it's located on the rooftop and has a gorgeous view of the gulf. food and service also great. I'd love to go back and try their brunch next time!

    Didn't get a reservation but walked in and was immediately sat. Service and food are amazing every time!!! I couldn't recommend this place enough.

    Tuna rolls and ceviche
    Marion W.

    We had such an amazing dinner at Pescado, mostly because we got lucky enough to get a table on the outdoor patio (6:45pm on a Monday in August) on the most gorgeous sunset night and it was breathtaking. The restaurant feels very high end, you take an elevator to go up, and it's very well decorated and fitting for the location. I loved it. The food was very good: * ceviche: really good, had to ask for a spoon and more chips though * tuna rolls: if you like raw tuna and Asian sauces, this is a must. I LOVED IT * the mussels came in a shallot creamy sauce with sourdough bread, I personally loved that but there weren't a lot of mussels (good news is they are out of their shells though). Bread was spot on and $1 for extra toasts is reasonable * the Brussels were ok, the stracciatella is a nice touch but something was a miss for me, I've had better * the banana bread pudding was delicious! And I don't even like banana! So good!! The drinks are expensive but $10 a mocktail was reasonable and the rejuvenation was delish (though it took WAY too long to come). They gifted us a glass of champagne to celebrate our wedding anniversary, a very appreciated gesture. Overall it was a great experience and ended up around $200 for 2 of us (with only one alcoholic drink)- not cheap, but we enjoyed all the items we picked and the view was worth it!! Our waitress was very nice, as well as everybody who worked there. Pro-tip: You can make a reservation online and call if you want it later. When you get there ask if an outside table is available.

    We have been here a few times when visiting in the area. I find overall that this place is simply, tired. I can't stand the "we're in high demand" attitude when the place, isn't. You check in at the host desk by the outside elevator..we got there exactly at our reservation time and the host smugly said "I'll try to send you up in a few minutes" HAHA what?! Alright. Please get over yourselves. And wouldn't you know it, we get up there and the place is nearly empty on a weekday. We asked to be sat on the patio, they did not honor this request with multiple tables available. Were sat closely next to the only other 2-person table by the bar. We ordered a lot of food, even the $200 lobster (which was delicious) but I feel the vibe and atmosphere of this place don't warrant the cost. Our waitress was super sweet though. I just don't see us wanting to come back here in the future.

    The view from the rooftop patio

    This was our first experience Pescado. We went for brunch. The Nashville Chicken and Waffle was amazing. The acid from the pickled pepper accompaniment with the spicy chicken thigh and the sweet waffle was so well balanced. Bloody Mary was good as well. The view is gorgeous. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the Rosemary Beach area. Service was attentive. No complaints.

    If you're in Rosemary beach area, you'll know there's not many restaurants on the beach or with a view. The entire beach is mostly privately owned homes so it's tough to watch the sunset or even just find a good spot for a drink with a view. Pescado roof top is hands down STUNNING views and about the only one in the downtown area to go. It's pricey for a drink and food and is typically a longer wait to get in, but put your name in asap in the evening or late afternoon and the bar clears out pretty quick. We had spicy margaritas and a mocktail with the cheese board and it was so fantastic and refreshing. Service was quick too! If you are making a reservation, you'll have to do it weeks in advance during peak season at least - so go with the bar if you can!

    Bourbon Banana Bread Pudding
    Nicole M.

    Great spot for dinner and a view! Summer was our server and so pleasant as we had questions about the menu. She helped steer us in the right direction as we weren't sure how small the small plates were. My favorites were the seasonal ceviche, Chesapeake Bay Scallops and the Bourbon Braised pork belly. The chicken fried bobwhite quail was good as well - the sauce that came with it was amazing. Even after finishing the quail, I made sure to finish all of the sauce. We also ordered the whipped potatoes as a side. For dessert, we ordered the bourbon banana bread pudding. As someone who loves banana bread and also bread pudding, I didn't love the combo. It was good, just not for me. Next time I come back to 30A, I'll make sure to get reservations ahead of time so we can get the sunset view. Unfortunately this time, we didn't have a reservation so we waited about 30mins for a table and got up to the rooftop just after the Sun had set.

    Service and food incredible. View was amazing. Will definitely be back. Was the best food we had in town.

    Main Lobster Roll with a side Caesar Salad
    Sam B.

    Pescado is a must in Rosemary Beach, Florida! Upon arriving, we were recommended to make a reservation, and we're very glad we did. Reservations for dinner book up quickly, so book well in advance. We visited Pescado for brunch, and everything we had was delicious! Having been our first time, we weren't sure what to order. However, our waiter was very helpful in making recommendations. Ultimately, we ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes, the Main Lobster Roll with a side Caesar Salad, and the Fried Mahi Sandwich. The Fried Mahi Sandwich was a stand out followed by the Caesar Salad and Fried Green Tomatoes. I'm not the biggest fan of cold lobster salad so it wasn't my favorite but my husband really enjoyed it. In terms of vibe, it felt very high-end and perfect for a lunch date! I highly recommend visiting Pescado while in Rosemary Beach!

    Bread- must have been included with dinner because we didn't order it
    Kristen G.

    Wow, am I glad I have this place a chance! I was SO worried that we were going to have zero chance of getting in here that I almost didn't chance it, but I'm SO glad I did! We ended up coming for a late dinner after 7 and got right in. Every ounce of food and drink was phenomenal! The view, the whole ambiance, loved every minute of it! I cannot recommend this place enough! They take reservations for inside but it's FCFS for the patio/rooftop, so give it a chance!

    Escargot-w amazing flavor
    Tay E.

    Five stars for everything-from the French inspired food to the service and ambience, even impressed our Flemish colleague that was w us. I had the escargot appetizer which was full of flavor on a puff pastry. The filet was perfectly med rare, the way I like it. Oh and the desserts were heavenly-classic creme brulee enough for two people. Our waiter was old school classic professional that added to the white table experience. We had about 17 with us so had a limited menu where we had many options for this perfect 3 course meal. Booked in advance w a deposit of course. Lastly, the Orin Swift wines were perfect. Everyone enjoyed their food and we will be back.

    White Bolognese pasta - Incredibly flavorful!
    Alissa A.

    Oh wow, I'd be willing to drive 5 hours from NOLA to come back here again for the food. As far as the service goes - our waiter was helpful, but not very friendly. The view of the sunset was delightful. This is now home to my favorite crab cake! The lemon aioli with caviar, pickled apple, and arugula all complimented the crab cake perfectly! We cleaned the entire plate, every part of it was delicious. We then ordered a second starter the Bourbon Braised Duroc Pork Belly which was also phenomenal, perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. The salsa negra, white beans, pickled onions, and chicharron were so tasty, we again cleaned the entire plate. For entrées, we got the Filet served with potatoes and broccolini, all of it was very very good, but I must say the White Bolognese really knocked the whole dinner out of the park for me. SO much flavor packed into this dish. I never leave a restaurant feeling uncomfortably stuffed, but I could not hold my self back from any of these dishes!! Do whatever you can to be sure you do not leave this town without eating at Pescado's! Fantastic experience.

This was one of those occasions where I was delighted to have been so wrong. The crab cake was well worth the hype. Two hearty cakes, plenty of moist, tender lumps of crab, nice seasoning, and a mild remoulade that complimented them quite well. While I figured (also wrongly) that I'd leave hungry, I most certainly did not. Service was extremely friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the open-air, courtyard experience. Quite relaxing, and while there was none while I was there, I think they have regular live music in the area. As for the rest of the menu, looked like they sell other seafood and such as well, but this is a place where I'm just not sure I'll ever make it deeper into the menu than where I started--not going to top those crab cakes!

Plenty of street parking. No issues with a spot and we stepped in and were greeted by Paul and Lark upon entry. Major plus is the fact that you can get fresh oysters shucked and shrimp, fish, burgers, they have something for everyone! If you don't care to eat in, getting it to go is also fine I'm sure. Ordered a dozen oysters, steamed Old Bay shrimp and potatoes, and a shrimp and fish plate that came with Cole slaw, hush puppies, and fries. Plenty to share. They have multiple sauces and seasonings, especially of note is the Crystal hot sauce from Louisiana which is one of the best IMO for oysters. Service was very good, friendly, professional, and helpful with support. Couldn't have been happier with the lunch today, we already will plan one last visit before heading home Saturday. I cannot say this enough, good food, great service, fast in and out, accommodating when asked for something. It's 100% perfect for this area. The person cooking in the kitchen also nailed the food cooked back there also. They have a steam box in the front as well as a huge area where the seafood is displayed. Support small businesses!

Incredible service, felicitous staff from hostesses to bussers to waiters (Tommy) to the manager and the managing partner (Mississippian Jason Burgardt)--who waited tables at Walker's Drive-in, then managed Flight in Memphis; we even had people in common. Overall the level of service here is outstanding. Seating is comfortable and spacious. Glassware is tasteful. Immediate service was provided when appropriate. We enjoyed the Angel Eggs: Crispy shrimp, farm eggs & bacon marmalade. A 1/2 Caesar salad and a wedge, and for entrees we both had a Taste of 30A: Grouper, Red Snapper and Crab-stuffed Flounder with accouterments that corresponded with the full-size entrees. Each fresh fish dish was flawlessly presented, with fish perfectly flaky and executed and the subtle-yet-distinct flavors melding into an absolute gestalt of goodness! Loved the touch of the micro greens. A most enjoyable, tasty dining experience! Highly recommend if on or near 30A! Worth the drive!!! Also, we peeked in the bar that has a happy hour from 3-6! Had a warm speak-easy feel! You can dine there as well. We were told the locals enjoy this unique spot and I can see why. In addition, there is outdoor seating with soft overhead hanging lights. A side dining room can be closed off for a private dining experience, with seating in that room for up to 40. Lots of options for special events in this space for table seating as well as menus. Even though our reservation was for 4:30pm, by the time we departed the restaurant at 6:15, the place was filled with diners yet still the atmosphere was not hectic or loud. Somehow they maintain that serene but not too stiff environment. I'd say, it was very clear to me that all the staff here is dedicated to serving others and to excellence. When you pair that with a gifted chef, sous chef, and focused kitchen staff who are dedicated, you get a 5-star restaurant. Pair all of that with a caring and professional Managing Partner, and you have a special place to dine. Ambrosia Prime Seafood and Beef is a 5-star gem restaurant in the 30A area.

The ambience of this place was also super nice, and there was plenty of parking since it was near a shopping center.

We went with a group of seven and everything from the atmosphere to the food made it a really fun night out. The location and vibe are fantastic -- lively but relaxed, the kind of place where you can easily settle in with friends and enjoy a good meal. We started with appetizers for the table: calamari, onion rings, and volcano shrimp. All three disappeared quickly. The calamari was really good and normally comes served over jalapeños, but since I don't eat them the kitchen kindly put them on the side for us. The onion rings were fantastic, and the volcano shrimp had a little heat (which the spice lovers at the table really liked). For dinner I had the hibachi steak over fried rice with yum-yum sauce, cooked medium. It was excellent -- tender, flavorful, and a generous portion. Others in our group ordered the same dish and loved it as well. The chicken nachos were huge (normally an appetizer but easily a full meal) with really tasty queso that had a bit of spice. The burger and flatbreads at the table also got great reviews. We also tried the chocolate dessert bomb at the end (not sure of the exact name), and it was fantastic -- chocolate mousse and cake inside a chocolate shell with whipped cream. Definitely worth sharing. The drinks were great, the service was friendly, and the whole place had a welcoming feel. One thing we really appreciated as well: they offer a military discount, which was a nice touch. We're locals and this was our first visit, but it definitely won't be our last.
