I want to start out by staying this is my favorite place to eat anywhere in 30a/destin/panama city area. The views by themselves make this place a must when you're visiting. The staff and servers are more than attentive and very knowledgeable. And usually the food is amazing- but this time it wasn't great. The scallops were undercooked and expensive for just 2. I was very excited that paella is back on the menu but was really disappointed in it. The aioli was off putting for me and the mayonnaise seemed to overpower the dish. I would love for them to bring back some of the older dishes like the sticky ribs and old paella. I'm unsure if the chef has changed again but I feel like the food is declining each time I come. The best part of the meal was the complimentary bread with honey butter. I will definitely still come back but I really hope the culinary team addresses some of these issues. read more

I'll start with the positives: good ambiance, cool rooftop seating and great service. Cons: everything else... the drinks were not good and the food was worse. Everything was highly unbalanced. We ordered the octopus, which was pretty good. The ceviche was terrible. Inedible - fish drowning in straight lime juice. I order ceviche OFTEN, and this was a huge miss for me. They need to add something sweet or creamy to balance the dish. It was way too acidic and very unpleasant, so much so that I returned ny dish after one bite. They were nice and let me order something else... I got the scallops. They were extremely bland, ironically missing any acidity. A tiny bit of lemon could have gone a long way on that dish. I didn't even eat half of it. Not worth wasting the calories. The creme brûlée was good... nothing super special, but luckily that's a tough one to mess up. Overall, I would absolutely not recommend this if you have a decent to good pallet for food. The food is way overpriced and just not very good. The dishes need quite a bit of tweaking to be balanced. read more

Woo hoo!!!!! What a stunning restaurant and dining experience. The food is artwork that is to be appreciated and savored with every bite. I have to gush about every dish ordered at our table last night. The bread???? Before our meals showed I could have just eaten that for my meal!!! It was out of this world!!! The butter and bread had this cheese and salt combo that I can't even describe the incredible taste. The appetizers - crabcakes?? Melted in your mouth!! Prawns?? Insane And perfectly prepared! Brussel sprouts, the Mac & cheese, and the salads were nothing short of incredible must trys. The drinks were deliciously made, and portions were huge. Our waitstaff was so friendly & efficient. The atmosphere was breathtaking, lights, beach, clean, and intimate yet everyone had their own comfortable spaces to dine. Truly enjoyed our time here. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Pescado - Tuna rolls and ceviche - American Near Me - Rosemary Beach, Florida

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. read more

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. read more

Pescado - The view from the rooftop patio - American Near Me - Rosemary Beach, Florida

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! read more

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. read more

Pescado - View from patio - American Near Me - Rosemary Beach, Florida

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Food was so good!! The sauce that the mussels were in was a creamy flavorful sauce. Ceviche was delicious too- (Halibut, Cod, Shrimp). The filet was cooked perfectly and paired nicely with the three Mac and cheese. Complimentary bread was cheesey and soft. Everything was very good. Outdoor area is a great view of Rosemary. Service was good too. My mocktail and espresso martini was delicious as well. read more

Overall we had a great experience. We arrived early, without a reservation, hoping for a table to watch the sunset. Unfortunately the wait was almost an hour and by that time the sun had gone down. We requested a table outdoors and the view was amazing. Food was delicious and portions were good. Our server Roxy was great! They also brought out some bread while we waited but it came out about 30 mins after we sat which was odd. The bar downstairs is also nice, we had a couple delicious drinks while we waited for our table and they had some live music. read more

Great experience at the upstairs bar area, saw the sun set and felt an amazing breeze the whole night! Staff was super attentive and food, although yes on the pricey side, was fantastic! The steak was cooked perfectly and Mac and cheese was outstanding. And unlike most crab cake actually had lumps of crab in it, however on the small side the waiter accurately described the oz so we knew the price would be high just for a few bite dish. The pork belly bites are absolutely worth it as well as the other dishes depending on what you like. The tuna sushi was a little underwhelming as the inner part is just fried onions but tuna seemed fresh. Starfire cocktail was refreshing and the espresso martini was decent. Def great for a date night as you will spend a couple hundred dollars just on 2 people. read more

AMAZING. every. single. time. Dallas native here! My family comes here every summer while we visit the seaside/ rosemary beach area. Frankie was our server & he was absolutely incredible. So attentive & incredibly kind. Major kudos to him. The food is incredible. We had the tacos & ceviche to start & both were so good. The sweet glaze on the pork belly tacos was just perfect. So good. I had the lobster grilled cheese that Frankie suggested and it was YUMMY-- the tomato bisque was perfectly paired. Parents had the French toast (amazing) & the eggs Benedict (so tasty). Truly such a great time & everyone in the restaurant truly just wants you to have an incredible experience & that's exactly what we got! The ambience is fun & light. Your server isn't the only one making sure you're set up for success-- everyone is helping out. I mean that 1000%. We will be back, like we do every year. You'll definitely drop some $$$ but it's worth every penny I promise! read more

If you are looking for a brunch spot that truly feels like a getaway, Pescado in Rosemary Beach is an absolute gem. From the moment you step onto the rooftop, you are greeted with breathtaking views of the Gulf that instantly set the tone for a relaxed and luxurious meal. The sparkling blue water paired with the white coastal rooftops makes it feel like you are somewhere far away. It is the perfect backdrop for a lazy, beautiful brunch. The food was just as impressive as the view. I started with one of their Bloody Marys, and it was honestly one of the best I have had. Bold, flavorful, and garnished beautifully with fresh veggies and lime, it was the perfect balance of spicy and refreshing and paired so well with the coastal vibe. For my meal, I ordered the Challah French Toast, and it was pure decadence. Thick, fluffy slices topped with a poached pear, whipped MASCARPONE , crushed nuts, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar made every bite a dream. On the side, the creamy grits were rich, comforting, and perfectly cooked, adding a savory touch to balance out the sweetness of the French toast. I also had the chance to try the Ham and Gruyere Omelet, which was cooked to perfection and topped with a creamy, luscious sauce. It came with a side of seasoned potatoes and roasted veggies, which added just the right amount of hearty, savory flavor to round out the dish. Overall, Pescado completely delivered with stunning views, amazing food, and a laid back yet elegant atmosphere. It is the kind of place where you can sit back, sip your drink, enjoy the sunshine, and feel like you have all the time in the world. Definitely a must visit if you are in Rosemary Beach. read more

Soooo, first of all, Devon was great! He's a wonderful server and knows his spiel!! He rattled off the specials like the pro he was!! And it was a long list! The food here is elevated to make a twist on old favorites... lobster grilled cheese, omelets with English peas & rosemary ham, fried green tomatoes with Louisiana crawfish butter, chicken & waffles with whipped ricotta, caprese Benedict, etc. There were several choices of brunch drinks: mimosas (several flavors) , signature Bloody Mary, and more! We got a variety of dishes, even the pancakes were taken up a notch! Oh!! And for dessert I had to try the crème brûlée and it was divine!! We had about 12 people at our table and the whole staff worked as a team to make our experience better. The restaurant was a tad upscale, you take an elevator to the main floor where you can get an incredible view of the water on the outside tables. We sat at a long table near the bar, and still had a pretty good view! The light fixtures where coastal and beachy, and the whole place was relaxing! I loved the wooden salt and pepper cellar you can request. There's also a little photo op backdrop to take ussies!! I'd def be back for the pineapple mimosas!! Beach please!! Yaaassss!! (Ps. I had a slight hiccup with my order and they addressed it lickety split! I appreciate that kind of service!) read more

I have no idea how this place has a 3.8 rating. This place was by far our favorite on the trip. The brunch was so good we came back before we left on our last day. The views are amazing just be sure to get there early for the patio seating! Some honorable mentions are the French toast, chicken and waffles, and the breakfast that had the potatoes, eggs, and sausage with a pancake on the side! The strawberry mojito was okay but I like my drinks sweeter. The waitress the first time was amazing. She also gave us a small tray with some of her favorite dipping sauces (the strawberry preserves are homemade and go amazing with the sriracha with the chicken and waffles and the other breakfast potatoes!) absolutely go here if you're in town! read more

We only went for drinks. The first impression we asked to go up and the sweet girl at the podium said I have to see if they are ready. We waited 20 mins to go up while they let probably 4 other parties up. Not until I said how much longer did they let us up. 8 girls ordering drinks and a round of shots. Our bill was $400! The entire staff was rude AF! The hostess ( Wednesday look a like) walked up to us and said no outside water bottles... we said there were others with water bottles on their tables and she said oh I didn't see that! Then a spider fell down off the roof onto one of my friends. We all stood up because it was a spider and the manager came over and told us we needed to sit down in our seats ( like we were on a moving bus) because they were delivering food. The waitresses were snobby and so rude. Nick the bartender made a great drink but he also was short ( not just in stature) and not friendly. We spent another 200 before we left, and the manager was literally standing at the elevator, waiting for us to leave. While a great venue the staff made us feel unwelcome and were ALL rude Might I add we are in our 50's and 60's not a bridal party read more

We came here for brunch during our trip. We liked it so much that we came twice during the week. One day we had a reservation and the other we did not but we were sat quickly both times. The day we did not have a reservation we were told it could be a two hour wait but we were sat within just a few minutes. We have been here several times for dinner which is always amazing but this was our first brunch visit. It was incredible! I am normally a bacon and eggs kind of girl but I opted to try the mahi sandwich and it was delicious! I got it both days that we came here. I also tried the fried green tomatoes on the second visit and they were super tasty! I'd highly recommend both! My friends got the French toast and everyone loved it. Our server was so great! His name was Raged. He interacted with the kids in our party and really made a great impression on us. He was kind and very attentive. We had him for both visits. The views are sensational and it's always a great way to start off your day with a visit here. It feels very calm and peaceful when we visit. We love it here and will be adding Pescado to our favorite brunch list going forward! read more

Food was great! Proportions on the scallops were questionable... The waitress recommended the scallops stating they were 2 large scallops that would have a nice sear on them. But when they came out they were very very small for 2 to be $29. They were close to the size of a nickel. I would not recommend in the future! Brussel sprouts, Mac and cheese, and bread were all excellent! Great flavor! Service from every employee was amazing and all were very attentive. Also, try to bring cash because there is an upcharge for paying with a card read more

This was an interesting visit Sunday night. Nice place, quite ambiance with a downstairs that was closed and a rooftop that full. We sat at the bar, the dining room was half full. I had heard this was an upscale place, nice but far from that. Service was ok, they were going to pour the wrong champagne, but we caught it on time. The right champagne came, quite warm so it took a while before it got to the right temperature. Food, yes the food.... Brussels sprout were good, but a bit too much balsamic vinegar, great to the palate but it hit your throat when swallowing. The Mac and cheese I have heard so much about. Average. The mussels, surprisingly different approach, but delicious! Going back just for that. The pork belly, cooked to perfection, the side sauce however, did not help the dish; it took away from the pork belly goodness. Going back for that as well. The ceviche was another great dish. White fish and shrimp. Citrus well balanced. Loved it. I was expecting more uniqueness. I will come back for the rest of the menu. read more

5 pm on a Friday. Good thing we had reservations. Nice interior and outdoor seating. The salad w stracciatella was outstanding as was the crab cake.
