Walked in just a little after noon. The inside restaurant was empty, outside which is where we sat had one couple. It took us about twenty minutes to look over the menu and decide. We placed our orders close to 12:30 then sat and enjoyed our drinks while looking at the amazing view. Our server was also the bartender, she was very gracias and kind and knew the menu well. Almost an hour later, we still hadn't gotten our food. I walked inside only to greet our waitress who was at that moment heading to our table with our order. She informed us they had been having issues with their ticketing system so the chefs never received the order when she placed it. I certainly understand tech issues, but if the ticketing system is having known problems, I would have followed up the electronic order with a verbal heads-up just to make sure they got it Food arrived and was delicious as others have said. The sushi rolls were giant so I could only eat four of the eight in the order. The restaurant is clean, and feels like a beach restaurant. The view is amazing as others have said as well. The only ding is time it took for food to get to us. read more

We spent 4 nights in Miramar. We dined at the Royal twice! The food is absolutely divine. I especially loves the fried green tomatoes and their gumbo! Our bartender Tiffany is super friendly and met every single need we had. I recommend The Royal Palm Grill 100%!!!! read more

We loved eating dinner here around sunset. The views were amazing and so was the sushi. Our waiter was really sweet and attentive. They also didn't rush us which I really appreciated. read more

We had a party of 8 for an early dinner. Good thing was the place was completely empty. Overall the food was good but overpriced in my opinion. The restaurant is in dire need of a remodel for a higher priced establishment Also the water was not filtered and had that Florida sulfur/sandy taste. I would have expected better. I'll give it a solid three stars for good food and good service. The building not so much. No straws, gotta save the fish! read more

What could be better than ordering lunch to go at a beach bar? Ordering and eating good food with amazing view!!

Service and atmosphere were amazing. The crab cakes were delicious and drinks were great. The steak was a little overcooked from medium rare. read more

First time here while on a family trip to Destin. While the weather was windy and partly cloudy our hostess sat us by the windows facing the beach which was still nice so we could enjoy some of the views. We were the first ones in when they opened and after a few minutes we were greeted by our server. We ordered the royal palm oysters and friend green tomatoes with shrimp. The appetizers were good (we really enjoyed the oysters). The green tomatoes were fried well and flavorful but my only knock would be maybe be to drizzle the plate with the beurre blank vs coating the tomatoes as it lost some of its crunch. Our entrees were well prepared and the perfect serving size. If in the area we will definitely be back and would recommend for a great lunch near the beach. read more

Very misleading photos online. Looks like a church dining hall. The vibes and service I feel like I'm at a Dennys. Paid 14 dollars for a Margarita that tasted like Jose Cuervo store mix and we burnt our mouths on the crab and artichoke dip that was definitely just nuked in the microwave. When we politely asked to close out because our friend was denied drink service for a damaged ID, our server Amy gave us attitude and flipped my buddy's phone on the table. read more

Just came down to Miramar Beach for spring break, and came to this restaurant. Mackenzie was the best bartender ever! So informative and super attentive. The food was amazing! I highly recommend anyone that comes and stays at Surfside, to hang out at the bar and get your drinks and food. Mackenzie is awesome! read more

Johnny midnight and Rob were the best!! He really did make our vacation. We went to the bar every night. We love him!!

The Royal Palm Grille is located on the ground floor of Surfside Condominium Building, right on the Scenic Gulf Drive. We ate there on New Year's Eve. A great meal. Lots of fresh seafood. I love their spicy seafood gumbo! Service was so friendly! Our server was great! Bravo! read more

I really did enjoy the food for the most part, we ordered drinks and they were not very good, one was watery and had no flavor when it should have been sweet and the other was sweet when it shouldn't have been at all. However the view is really nice if you sit outside. I went for my birthday last weekend and we got the shrimp tempura rolls which were my favorite, we got 2 orders. I ordered the pasta and asked to take a couple things out and I was told that the chef did not like what I asked for and basically wouldn't comply with what I ordered. I asked for the stuff I didn't want to be put on the side, simple request I think, and our waitress told us the chef basically yelled at her and wouldn't do that and he would take it all out or leave it all in and nothing could be on the side because he didn't like that request. Extremely unprofessional of the chef and rude in my opinion, especially if he got mad at the waitress who did her job very well and was just doing what I had asked. Food was still decent but the chefs attitude ruined it a bit for me. read more

Food came before the drinks very slow run down place the server we had was great but from walking in to sitting at our table to leaving the whole place has no clue what they are doing the staff is running around doing as they please just nothing you would expect it to be read more

I cannot say enough about how great the food and service were! Our waitress McKenzie was so kind and so welcoming! She had great recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was wonderfully prepared by Jim and Eugene and they were also extremely friendly. We will definitely be back and highly suggest visiting their wonderful restaurant! read more

Amy was great! Salads were out of a bag! Grilled grouper??? Should be ashamed of themselves!!! Like a piece of rubber! Could have bounced it off the plate. We came down for a music festival. We wanted one epic seafood meal. On the coast? Catch of the day? This was supposed to be it!!! We ordered a fing pizza. This place sucks y'all. Amy informed the manager. They comped our drinks!!! Woohoo!!!! $100 bucks for lunch that sucked a$$!!! BTW, the crab cakes were on point! read more

Amy was amazing!!! Food was great!! She knew all the specials and even got us a honeymoon dessert! Very informed on the menu and great attitude read more

I have eaten at the Royal Palm Grill many times I really enjoy it but it's really like getting a couple deals in one if you go there. First, they have a very nice bar as soon as you walk in kind of reminds me of an old fashion, kind of bar with tables and stuff and you can eat at the bar. They've got a great menu. This time we went to the bar and ordered some sushi.My wife she doesn't care for raw fish. We had a crunchy shrimp roll. And it was very very good and then if you want, you can leave there and go to the main dining room overlook the ocean. It's really beautiful at night very nice during the day. The entire wall is glass and you can see the beach very easily without the wind and the sand, if you miss that you can go outside because they have a wonderful deck over there looking at the ocean. If that's not enough, there is a walk over 98 that goes to the beach bar and the beach bar is three decks of an outdoor bar right on the sand out on the beach so it's really nice. You can actually go and spend the entire day down there, I hope you get a chance to try the Royal Palm, I know I enjoy it. I hope you will too. read more

Our server Mackenzie was amazing! So personable, friendly and great service. We came here specifically for sushi as it got some of the best reviews for it. We drove 25 minutes and did not regret it. Best sushi we've ever had by far!!! I'd recommend this to anyone. We sat outside which is the way to go. Great Sushi with a beachfront view is amazing. 10/10 recommend and will be back on our next trip!!! read more

Food was subpar. They are using frozen processed cheese for their crab, artichoke dip and oyster Rockefeller. The food came out. It wasn't even hot so disappointed and not worth dropping $50 on an appetizer and a Caesar salad. read more

Seating was fast. Outside option but we sat inside. Had chicken quesadillas appetizer - lots of chicken and cheese - excellent! I had garlic chicken, with capers - Omgosh! I could have eaten two plates of this!! Boyfriend had Royal Palm Grouper. Their signature dish. He said it was wonderful- ate it all! Key lime pie for dessert - fresh and wonderful taste! Waiter was awesome! Refills brought, very knowledgeable about menu, prompt with food. No long waiting for dishes. Reasonably priced for area. Will definitely go back!! read more

yummmm we where staying at seaside so this was an obvious choice. i went for the crab roll. we also got the big tom roll. My freakatarian friend ordered the roasted potatoes and the veggie or the day(green bean). we went on easter sunday and service was still prompt and reliable. we are on the deck and had great views and enjoyed the beachy ambiance. 10/10, will make sure to revisit next trip. read more

As of the writing of this review this restraint is billing at 3.5 stars and I think that is 100% where it should be. Wishing this site would allow me to rate 3.5 but as it only allows whole numbers I will have to air on the side of 3. The food here is good and it's not super busy with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. While other places nearby had a 2 hour wait time we were able to be seated almost immediately. The service is fast and friendly and the food is well cooked, flavorful and good. The main issue with this place is pricing. I don't mind paying up for an exceptional, 4-5 star experience but this place isn't that. This place is a solid location and a great alternative to busier more tourist focused locations but $99 for 2 meals, an appetizer, and 2 drinks is just way too much for the comparative quality of the food. The drinks were a big disappointment. They are tiny (especially for the cost $11 for a mojito smaller than a solo cup), they don't provide any straws (plastic or paper versions) and they don't advertise that in advance. The food is fresh and good but not mind blowing. It's a great location but their prices need to be reduced by about 30% for the quality of their food to match their prices. Recommend as a great alternative if other locations are fully booked or have long wait times. read more

We are guest here for 5 days total of 14. I am only giving a 2 star because our waitress Kaylah was phenomenal. We are guests here for 5 days total of 14 for a wedding that will take place at the venue, and decided to come try the restaurant in the building. The name and food was very catchy so of course I'n going to try it. Before we went to the restaurant we were enjoying the pool and hot tub. We were wet so we decided to go after. We weren't aware of us not taking drinks to the PATIO TABLES! Scott came over and his delivery to one of my friends was not professional at all. He single him out because he had a beer, he could have done it way difference. We have never had that experience ever. I ordered gumble because it was a chilly. I did my best to eat it but I couldn't. But again the MVP award goes to the waitress, She did her best read more

First off we were there back in December and it is their off season- that being said- the place was super empty and when we walked in the place smelled of fish (which was a turn off) We were seated near the windows which allowed a great view. The shrimp and grits was good. Cesar salad wasn't anything spectacular. The poke bowl was small and the flavor was off. The sushi was ok but they drowned it in the sauce so it really took away from the roll. Our kids ordered Mango virgin daiquiris and for $11.00 or $12.00 dollars it came in a plastic cup like they ordered a hard alcohol drink- pretty disappointing. For being an "award winning " restaurant the service was scarce- waitress came brought our drinks, I ordered a side salad which she brought with my meal and when our food was brought she then disappeared. If I'm ever in Destin don't think I will return. read more

Enjoyed some tasty grouper fish tacos here today with a Bahama Mama . Their view of the beach is really fantastic too!

Our server with the long curly hair was great. He was very attentive to us & did great. Crab dip was amazing, will 100% be back for that alone. We got sushi, it was kinda mid, but we will definitely be back to try more food because the crab dip was great!! read more

Wow! My family and I have been coming to Destin for years and had never tried this place. Some family joined us this vacation and liked what the menu had to offer. We were skeptical when we walked up. The inside looked like a breakfast hall; no atmosphere at all. We sat on the balcony and what an amazing view! We caught the sunset which is definitely the best time if you come here. Everyone loved their food. Sushi was great. Fish was fresh. My fried shrimp was better than some of the other bigger restaurants in town. Don't sleep on this restaurant! read more

Great location with amazing views. We both had sushi and it was delicious. More expensive than other places though. Each of our rolls were $22. They have the buy one get 1/2 off special right now, but that doesn't include sushi (despite being told it did online), so that sucks. Also, the daily sushi special you would think would be a deal but it's actually more expensive than the other rolls. read more

We have stayed at Surfside Resort several times and this place is in the main level. It has a great view of the gulf and also has a bar that you can walk across the elevated walkway to that is right on the beach. The food is good but a bit pricey. Overall a good place to eat and has friendly staff with lots of smiles. read more

We waited 45 minutes to be seated for an hour and 15 minute wait on sushi while other tables were served while we waited. The sushi was mediocre at best and they were not busy at all. If you have have any other option to eat in the Destin/Miramar area, I suggest going there. Customer service does not exist in this place. Consider Whataburger over this place. read more
