Upon arrival, I'll be honest, I didn't expect much. SO glad I was wrong. This was one of my…read morefavorite spots while were there. And it was a welcomed break from seafood. We came here and the wonton appetizer was amazing. We had a burger, a patty melt, and I got the buffalo chicken sandwich. Our waitress was attentive, and checked on us in a reasonable amount of time. She was good with meeting our needs and bringing back items requested. The atmosphere is welcoming, the music they play is amazing and inclusive to all and the people were are all welcoming. 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.

I will start by saying the staff was AMAZING. We came in for an LSU game and sat at the bar. The…read morebartenders were attentive and quick with drinks and drinks were made WELL. We ordered the smoked tuna dip, the firecracker shrimp, and the garlic Parmesan wings. The smoked tuna dip and the firecracker shrimp were delicious. Everything came out quickly and was fresh. The wings - were a different story. They came out quick and were hot, but they were kind of a mess. The garlic Parmesan sauce was almost creamy and way too heavy and not very appetizing at all. It was a bummer too because we ordered 20 of them and the wings themselves were cooked perfectly. They were just swimming in sauce :( Needless to say if we ever come back, we'll be drinking and eating things that we have already confirmed are delicious and will pass on the wings.

They don't take reservations so take that into account if you're going with a big group of people. They ask you to wait 15-20 minutes before going upstairs. There was only one waitress walking around taking orders. Most people would order straight from the bar. I can't wait to come back during summer at sunset time!

I called and emailed the facility multiple times to inquire about the price and they never responded. When we got there, the waiter seemed to have no idea what we were talking about; he just kept saying "I don't know" when asked about menu items. He never smiled our whole meal and just seemed like he wanted to be anywhere else. Drinks were good but food was not worth the price.

For a quick lunch before flying home to Houston, this place was a wonderful reprieve from the tourists and heat. Sarah D was our server, and we had already heard that she gave great service and other yelp reviews. Delighted to hear that the glass of wine I wanted was on happy hour special for six dollars. They have other specials like old-fashioned Mondays and espresso martini Tuesdays. Bitterroot being on the way to the airport, this will definitely be on the list for next visit to Florida!

We had specified our party…read morehad kids in the reservation, & upon arrival, the table had kids menus ready in their seats which was a pleasant surprise. We ordered: -Beef tartare: this was delicious & one of the best tartares I've had. Generous portion. -Bone marrow & escargot: this was meh. It was hard to scoop the marrow out & hardly anything came out. Would be better to cut the bone length wise like other places. Also, the bread the escargot was on top of was wayyy too thick. -Foie gras torchon: rich & really delicious. Perfect ratio & balance of flavors to balance out the fattiness of the foie gras. -Blue crab pappardelle: this was amazing! If you're a crab lover, this is a must order. Generous portion of crab & great al dente pasta. -Husband ordered fish of the day (branzino I think?): fish was nicely cooked, but the sauce was inedible. Was way too sweet, like candy. -Kids had the fettuccine Alfredo & wagyu cheeseburger with fries from the kids menu. I thought both were overly salty, but they all enjoyed it. Fries were exceptionally good, but again, just too salty. Overall, we found some orders to be either exceptionally good or underwhelming. Service was attentive & we were given great wine recommendations to accompany our dinners. We enjoyed our meal & had plenty for lunch leftover with the generous portions.

Last night, my husband and I eagerly awaited the annual Yacht Rock concert at the Mattie Kelly…read moreevents plaza in Destin, Florida. Each time we attended in the past, the bands were outstanding, very talented and full of energy. Last night was a huge disappointment and a total waste of $80. The Yacht Rock Schooner band was unbelievably bad, off key and out of tune. Most of the audience members were just as surprised as we were: were they really that bad, was the sound equipment not working, was this band formed yesterday? We have come to expect high quality entertainment from the MKAF, but now are not sure we will ever come back. We, along with many others, left at intermission. I do hope this is a one-off and not an indication of what to expect in the future from MKAF. Enthusiastic audiences and fellow patrons of the arts deserve better.

I'll admit, we both walked in a little apprehensive, especially as we're a couple of Yanks. Those intrepidations quickly vanished after we were immediately welcomed by the friendly and down to earth bartender. After we mentioned we're currently trying out a non-alcoholic phase, he replied that he's about 2 years into his and gave us our first round of ginger beers on the house! WOW, talk about setting the tone for a great night out. There is such a chill & laid back yet happening vibe here, with so much action going on. The bar connected to a super lively bowling alley as well as a music venue (which wasn't open during our visit). They even had a pool table and TWO ping pong tables in the back. The ping pong balls were only 25 cents each and the paddles were in pretty good shape. They even had one paddle with the super thick padding, great for creating spin and such. We had some lively games and got pretty loud, yet no one seemed even remotely bothered! After about an hour or so, we checked out the bowling alley and discovered it had a massive arcade room. I tried out a hurricane simulator and yes, I survived! All in all, this place really rocked. It was a ton of unexpected fun yet not at all too wild for my taste. Seems like a popular spot with the locals and certainly one I shall return to during my next visit to Destin!
