I had the fried fish and it came with two thin pieces of fish and 6 pieces of bread. The fish was also a little too salty. The fries were good but at the price of the entrée I would hope the fish would be better than the fries. They also only serve wine and beer. The beer is just your standard options you can find anywhere. The waitress spoke like she was trying to be nice but it felt superficial.

We brought in our fresh catch for their "Hook and Cook" experience, and from the time we sat down the folks at Brotula's treated us like celebrities! The restaurant was spacious and well decorated and made you feel like you were on the beach but then nothing could compare to the experience which was simply amazing! Chef Terrance was sensational and worked his magic for real! He took our fresh haul of fish and prepared it three different ways! The Vermilion snapper was fried to golden-brown perfection, the Tuna was blackened with a deep and sultry flavor, while the Triggerfish was beautifully seared. And let's not forget about those phenomenal sides which included roasted broccolini, crispy Brussels sprouts, fried corn, French fries, and some of the best creamy gouda grits I've ever had. We even had an amazing seared Lionfish dish as this was during the Emerald Coast Open. But the day would not have been complete it was not for our server, Naz. No words can describe how much he elevated the experience! The attention to detail was flawless, and his anticipation of our needs was so on-point I don't think we ever had to ask for a anything. This is the type of service you can write a book about! So if you are in Destin and especially if you've been fishing and need a place to cook your catch, please do yourself a favor and hop on over to Brotula's! Huge thanks to Naz and Chef Terrance!

The decorations gave hs a great first impression when we entered the building. We had a friendly server that assisted us choosing our meal for dinner. He was friendly and kind, helping us with what we needed. We ultimately ordered the $300-400 "Deluxe" seafood platter. The main part consisted of 1lb snow crab, cluster crab, gulf shrimp, mussels, and king crab. The cajun flavor enhanced the dinner experience much more, and our entire family finished the whole plate. We have never ate seafood like this before, and it felt so good to explore another famous taste of authentic seafood. Try to enter around 6-7 pm, because the restaurant prioritizes outside seating and it does get packed after the said hours. When you visit Destin, maybe give this delicious seafood restaurant a try.

I'll be honest--when we pulled up to Basil & Baxter's Kitchen for a group dinner, I had no idea…read morewhat to expect. From the outside, the place looks small and quite unassuming. But as the saying goes: never judge a book by its cover. We were absolutely blown away by the experience. Despite the modest exterior, the food is nothing short of world-class. I ordered the ribeye, and it was cooked to absolute perfection--tender, flavorful, and easily one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. Since we were a large group, we ended up ordering a significant portion of the menu. Between us, we tried the fish, shrimp, and various pasta plates. It felt like we sampled almost everything they offer, and every single dish was an absolute hit. It's rare to find a place where the entire table is equally impressed with their meal, but Basil & Baxter's pulled it off effortlessly. Beyond the incredible kitchen, the service was outstanding. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and handled our group with the kind of professionalism that makes a night out feel special. If you're in Niceville, do not pass this place up. It might look humble from the street, but the flavors and hospitality inside are massive. We will definitely be back!

They are always busy with tables and to go orders. There must of been new bartender. My husband and I had ordered the mock Butterfly and Lemonade drink we had previously and enjoyed. The first time we had it, it came out in a regular tall water glass. This time it came in a martini glass and the first sip was....OMG strong with liquor. We sent them back to get the nonalcoholic drinks and they came back in a whisky glass, not the taller water glass. Not sure if this was a mistake or they really raised their prices. The lemonade drink with a little color added to it is $7! But, the food is always delicious. My husband had the pot pie and it was the size of a regular 12 inch pie! I had the pork chop which was thick and tender. Some in our party love the bisque soup and order a bowl, which is huge. The cup size was more what we expect as a bowl size. The shrimp and grits is phenomenal too, which I have personally tried. Service is great and friendly. You are given a basket of delicious crusty warm buns comped but if you ask for more (which we did) note that they are .50 cents each. We will continue to visit this restaurant each winter while we are here.

I wish there was a location closer to where I live! For a chain restaurant (that is known more for…read morethings other than food) they have always been amazing and consistent. Coming to this location for the first time proved that streak still continues. The LUMP BLUE CRAB BISQUE - Sherry, Cream, Crushed Herb Croutons to start was fabulous. The MACADAMIA-NUT-CRUSTED SNAPPER - Hawaiian Red Sea Salt, Almond Rice, Grilled Asparagus, Wasabi Soy Beurre Blanc was just as good. Yes, something I usually pass on entirely, dessert, the key lime pie was great too. The only disappointment was the piña colada I ordered. The "bar" is set high on this one by the Marlin Bar in Orlando so I'll give them a pass. Service was very attentive and the place itself is brand new. I wish the developer would have made more parking closer to the buildings. In the off season it was nuts, coming here during peak season is going to be a challenge. One aspect they truly excel at is the live entertainment. The music is just right--loud enough for the audience to sing "Sweet Caroline," yet soft enough to allow for casual conversations at the table.

My family and I have been coming to Tommy Bahama's every…read moreyear while on vacation, and it has always been one of the places we make a point to visit multiple times during our trip. We are typically there at least three out of the seven days we stay in town. Unfortunately, after our experience on Mother's Day, we do not plan on returning. We arrived around 4:30 p.m. with a party of nine, hoping to enjoy some of the happy hour menu and pricing. We were kept waiting in the front until exactly 5:00 p.m., even though it was obvious that tables on the back deck were already available. Once seated, our server was polite and did a good job taking care of us. During conversation, we mentioned the long wait, and he explained that it is apparently "protocol" to delay seating larger parties until after 5:00 so they do not receive happy hour pricing. If that is truly company policy, I find it extremely disappointing and dishonest. We felt manipulated instead of welcomed. The food quality was also far below what we have experienced in past years. The crusted snapper that was recommended to us was terrible and had to be sent back. My grandson's burger was also very poor quality and honestly unpleasant. The only dishes our table generally agreed were decent were the squash casserole bowl and the chicken parmesan. Another disappointment was learning that bread is no longer served. For families with children, that was always something simple that helped while waiting on meals. Between the removal of those small touches, the higher prices, and the noticeable decline in food quality, the restaurant no longer feels worth returning to. I'm not writing this to get anyone in trouble. I'm writing because this restaurant used to be one of the highlights of our vacation every year, and it is frustrating to see the experience decline this much. Chris Tomlinson

I ordered one of the most expensive dishes on the menu $29.99 and he ordered a $15.99 coconut chicken salad along with two diet cokes. When we got the check they had calculated the check with a 20% service charge. We asked what it was and was told it was 16% for her and 4% for the kitchen. Nothing based on the service or how good the food was an automatic 20%. No warning at all! As they were seating, another customer that server said have you been to the boathouse before and the customer said yes. So she stated you are aware of the service charge then. The customer said yes. Maybe us saying something about it is why she said that, not sure, but we were never informed and we've never had that explained to us before either.
