Great Seafood Place. We arrived just as they opened and I'm glad we did, because it got really busy right away. By the time we left (about an hour and a half later), there was an hour wait to be seated. Food was delicious and cooked well. Our wait person was fast and friendly and knew the menu. All-in-all we were very happy we chose to eat there. Oh, and the view was spectacular!

We were looking for a quick place to grab dinner so the kids could get back to the house we were staying at and swim in the pool since it was our last night before we had to go home.
The hostess was great, she noticed our girls (5&7) looking at the fish and got us a table with a fish tank right next to it so the girls could look at the fish. When we were leaving we stopped to look at the fish tank at the front again and she was telling us the names she had given some of the fish in the front fish tank by the hostess stand. Lily was a very pretty fish! She looked like she was glowing.

Went here for dinner last Wednesday 10/20/21. They were pretty busy and obviously short staffed like most places in the country still are, so plan ahead, especially if you want to sit along the window for that amazing Gulf of Mexico view as this restaurant is gulf side. We waited in the bar area for about 15 minutes before we were seated. Debbie was our waitress and was great, she got our drinks and food out promptly. We ordered their Gumbo bowl and Clam Chowder bowl, both good but the Gumbo definitely wins. I ordered the Mahi Parmesan and my husband ordered the Cajun Redfish. We liked the Mahi

The Staff here are friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is beachy, and there's a fantastic view of the ocean from the dining room.
I ordered the Parmesan Grouper- An off menu item, but they'll make it if you ask. It was served with two fried dough balls, (Hushpuppies / Cornbread balls/ Corn dodgers. Call them what you will) Succotash, and a salad. Unfortunately the kitchen served a browning salad and it's the deciding factor of of my rating. More below.
The Grouper was a touch overcooked. A rookie mistake and not one to cry over. Easily remedied and no reason to avoid a second visit to the

We were told that it was a hour to an hour fifteen wait. Pretty standard in this area . We were seated in one hour .
Our waiter Dave or David was phenomenal. He was hustling the whole time we were there. Kudos to him for sure.
I ordered the Cajun redfish. Delicious cream sauce and shrimp on top of it. Excellent.
I wish they stated the salad came with nuts. Not a huge fan of nuts so I gave that to my son . I also ordered a cup of the gumbo . Really good as well .
My wife ordered the snapper Jane. This was Excellent as well .
Really great meal and a perfect way to end our trip to destin. Thank
