When we planned our trip to Destin, in our research this was one of the restaurants that caught our…read moreeye. It looked like a nice, relaxing, elevated restaurant we could relax at after a day of excursions. It really wasn't that. After spending most of our days eating at the themed surf restaurants that decorate with shark heads, surfboards and tiki lights. We had hoped this would be a change, it's really not. It may not be grossly decorated with those tiki-style items, but most certainly is that same type of restaurant. It's not elegant, it's not elevated and its most certainly, not relaxing. The food was very good, the service from our waitress, Savannah was mediocre. She seemed bored or maybe having a bad night and was doing her best to cover it with a smile. We ate up at the skybar which does have a very lovely view. The high-top table and chairs are uncomfortable. My wife and I had to come off the chairs to stand next to the table for a few moments because the chairs were so uncomfortable. As far as their food goes, I had the shrimp tacos. They were made with very fresh tasting ingredients and the shrimp wasdelicious. At least the 2 pieces per taco they came with. Most of what was in the taco was just the filling. $22.00 for two tacos I expected more shrimp. My wife's Grouper Moreno and the conch fritter appetizer were both delicious. Dessert was the salted caramel cheesecake which was good, but ridiculously sweet (as you'd expect it to be) Overall, the food was very good though the tacos could have included more shrimp then they did. The service was just okay. The restaurant itself is nice, but not the quiet relaxing place it looks like on their website. It's just another surf themed style restaurant, without all the gaudy decorations.

While they have expanded, reservations are a must if you're looking at bringing in a large group for dinner. Their menu is a revolving one so what some may have one night could differ another.

First off, food came out piping hot, and they have these unique fries and they were amazing. This spot definitely exceeded my expectations and I will gladly return on our next visit to Destin.

The space has a cool indoor/outdoor setup, and the night we went they had live music, which made the whole place feel really lively. We sat inside but could still enjoy the music while catching some basketball games. The menu leans Mediterranean and everything looked incredible. We started with the tzatziki, shrimp wonton rolls, and potstickers. All three were great, but the shrimp wonton rolls were my favorite. For my main, I ordered the grilled shrimp pita (loaded with shrimp) with fries--definitely hit the spot. Around the table we also had burgers, a Mediterranean bowl, and pork belly tacos, and everyone loved their meals. We were so full we didn't even make it to dessert. Overall, great vibe, great food, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out--just plan on taking an Uber or Lyft since parking is limited.

We did make a reservation a while in advance but it was not needed. There was only one other group dining at the restaurant while we were there. It's a huge restaurant so it was a little awkward saying we had a reservation when literally no one else was there lol. The food was good. Large portions. I had fresh oysters to start and I liked these. I then had a fried fish sandwich and I really liked the "comeback sauce" they put on it. Breaded really nicely and good flavor. Most of the people in our group enjoyed their meal! My friend has a dairy allergy and the server swore there was no dairy in her food but I think something may have slipped in because she wasn't feeling too great for a majority of the dinner following her appetizer of soft pretzels and entree of a salad.

We ordered the kid's chicken tender meal, pretzel bites, chips & salsa, and Caesar salad with grilled chicken. The food is well made and good quality for the money. Usually, I am disappointed with hotel food. The service was friendly and attentive even during happy hour they were able to keep up with drinks and food. It was off season so we mainly sat inside at the restaurant space. It is nicely decorated with plenty of seating and some table games to keep the kids busy. The Caesar salad was huge with fresh greens and large pieces of chicken. The chicken tenders were also huge and meaty. And the fries with seasoning were addictive. I was also surprised the pizza was good. I had expected it to be either overly salty or taste like plastic. If you just want to stay in, it is a good alternative and to be honest it was better than some of the surrounding restaurants.

We felt very under dressed for this restaurant but, you wouldn't know it based on how we were treated. We were kindly greeted at the door and offered a table right away. We opted to sit at the bar because we were in a hurry wanted to place a to-go order for a pizza. Our bartender was very kind and accommodating, He answered all of our questions and made recommendations. All of the pizza offerings looked fantastic. We settled on the Calzone Genovese, even though this was a calzone there was no problem making it into a pizza. The wood fire pizza oven was in the center of the restaurant, so we were able to watch them make our pizza. It had ricotta cheese, mushrooms, pesto, and caramelized onions. It was very good and a nice change from a pizza with classic red sauce. The pizza crust had a good amount of char on the bottom with just the right amount of thickness.

Even though it was packed, service was great, though there were long in between. We ordered; House bread and oil (free) - 5 stars, this was so delicious. Garlic knots - 2 stars, basic garlic knots. We liked the house bread better Gnocchi with lobster- 5 stars, absolutely delicious. I was nervous about the lobster. But it was cooked perfectly in the dish. Gnocchi melted in your mouth. Loved this Pasta lobster dish - 5 stars, also absolutely delicious. Perfect cook on the lobster, house made pasta, just wonderful. Tiramisu - 3 stars, it was delicious, only complaint was the lady fingers were not soaked in coffee. And they placed chocolate syrup on it, not sure why. Bread pudding - 2 stars, it's not traditional bread pudding. It came out in slice of cake form. The ratio to Carmel bourbon syrup was way off. It was more apple spice cake than bread pudding in my opinion. We would definitely go back for the pasta and house bread, while skipping apps and desserts. We would recommend this place for pasta!
