Diner Reviews

"I am the ultimate foodie. I could find anything wrong with the food. I highly recommend the snapper with Gouda grit cakes. Omg. It was like heaven on a plate."

"The happiest moment in Panama City! My husband was seating right next to me, the food (taste, food deco.) was really good! (The server brought our lobster and showed me before they cook it.) I liked it very much! The music was great (couldn't hear it clearly tho...because many people were talking loudly), I liked the flirtini (I don't usually drink martini but this was good!), OHHHHH and the tank!!! That was really something! I took a lot of pictures in front. I definitely wanna go back if I have a chance to go to Panama city one more time!!!"

"4th of July Weekend without a wait. This place took my reservation through OpenTable without the hassles of a phone call and promptly replied by email to my I phone so I was assured that the reservation was cofirmed. After several miles of bumper to bumper traffic--they took us straight to our table and our orders were taken promptly and with accuracy and the food was prepared superbly. The Lobster Bisque was excellent. The Scamp was grilled to just the right texture and topped off with fresh lump crabmeat and a light butter sauce. Rice pilaf was not the best but who cares. The main entre was superb. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a relaxing atmosphere with excellent food. Nice aquarium with colorful fish too!!"

"We made reservations for July 4th expecting large crowds in Panama City Beach, and we were not mistaken. Despite large parties waiting, we were seated almost immediately. Food was excellent. Service was friendly and attentive. It took a while for the food to arrive, but this seemed to be the norm for this area the entire week. We had a large party and everyone enjoyed their meal. Would definitely recommend."

"This was our 2nd visit to SWG. Food was very good. We took advantage of the early bird specials as well as other menu items. Food portions were huge and prices were reasonable. We made reservations and were seated immediately upon arrival. Very pleased both times we ate at SWG."

"Met my friend from out if town. She had been there probably 8 years ago and remembered how good it was. I have frequented the restaurant a lot over the years; being a local. We did Flirtinis and appetizers. Everything was wonderful. We could not have asked for a better waitress, Jocelyn. Was very attentive and knowledgable with regard to the food and drinks. EXCELLENT!!"

"The best Prime Rib and seafood on the Beach. Never had a bad meal, Outstanding"
Dined on 7/3/2014
"Our dinner was excellent. The waiter was very professional and polite; a woman who appeared to be the manager stopped by to see how we were doing; the food was delicious and portions were just right; and the ambience was excellent. I enjoyed the huge aquarium and the room layout with inset tables was very unique. I only have suggestions to improve the already super service and I have already recommended it to several friends. My husband ordered the Grouper Imperial. It was perfect. I ordered the stuffed Grouper. It was very good, but a little dry/overcooked. I still enjoyed it but would have ordered the Grouper Imperial as the dark sauce was a little heavy. The bread was superb. We wished you served Chilean Sea Bass!"

"Good Food, a little expensive. I would return to this restaurant. The seafood was very good."
Dined on 5/19/2014
"My husband and I loved the live music, and the aquarium was beautiful. Our waiter went out of his way to have the chef make me a special dish that I requested, and he was very attentive to us throughout the evening. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. It was upscale enough for special occasion, but not stuffy or pretentious-definitely a place that you would feel comfortable going for lunch."

"I reserved at table for our 16th Anniversary dinner (date night ) ...which is highly recommended if you don't want to to wait for an hour! The service was outstanding. Mikael was pleasant, never ran out of our drinks, was able to tell us about the entrees before ordering and took was super attentive without being aggravating. The food was amazing! And I can't wait to go back again! The fish tank is really beautiful to see also. Thanks for a great Anniversary dinner to remember :)"

"We love to come here and the food and service never disappoint!!!"

"Excellent choice to celebrate a birthday from the Pomegranate Martini and Shrimp Cocktail to the Cheesecake. Had the Filet Oscar and Lobster tail. Steak was cooked medium as ordered. Had the Libster bisque instead of a salad. I've never seen so much lobster meat in lobster bisque! Service was excellent. Would definitely return."
Dined on 6/26/2014
"Our experience overall was excellent. We went for the Early Bird dining but ordered off regular menu. We took advantage of Happy Hour. We like to dine early because it's easier, faster, food taste better, and we don't have to wait."
Dined on 6/25/2014
"We had read a bunch of good reviews on this place so we wanted to try it. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent, the service great, and the location was convenient. It was a little pricey, but well worth it. We were seated at an aquarium, the kids loved it. The crab stuffed grouper was cooked perfectly and the crab cakes were very meaty. We had firecracker shrimp and crab stuffed mushroom caps for appetizers and they were both fantastic. The pace of service was very leisurely, they did not make you feel rushed and the manager came by a couple of times to make sure everything was to our liking. We own a condo in the area and have eaten at many restaurants. This is on our list of favorites."

"We are locals and love eating here for special occasions. I had my inlaws in town and decided to take them out to dinner. Grouper imperial was an amazingly small serving however the remainder of the meals were excellent! Dinner for four, bottle of wine and 3 beers was around $170."
Dined on 6/15/2014
"The service we received on this occasion was perfect. The wait staff was attentive, but not obtrusive, as it should be. The bar area where we sat was a bit on the loud side, so conversation was a little difficult sometimes."
Dined on 6/15/2014
"We were a large group that included kids, on vacation and looking for a place for a "special dinner" with good seafood since we were on the coast and we got exactly what we were looking for at this restaurant. Our server was wonderful and guided us through the menu and was very attentive to our needs. We will definitely be back to this spot if we are back in Panama City Beach."
Dined on 6/12/2014
"Overall, the food and service was very good. Not a great seafood selection for the early bird menu. There was much confusion between the online menus, printed menus in lobby, and the menus on the table. Some entrees were no longer available. Still the food that we ordered was very good and fresh except the Mahi-Mahi from the early bird. Servers were very friendly but service a bit slow. Too many tables for too few waiters."

"Food and service was excellent. Will return next time in PCB!!"

"Meal was good. Room was loud & we were in a secluded spot. End of experience was long, from time we turned over credit card to receiving bill was 25 minutes."

"We love Salt Water Grill so much that we try to eat there every night we can and dont try other restaurants. We like the fresh fish, the lobster bisque, the fresh salads, and the sauces and toppings. The piano player adds ambience and when we have kids along the fish tank is wonderful ."

"Our dinner was great. We ate here our last night of vacation in Panama City and could not have chosen a better restaurant! "

"Way to pricey for what you get . The service was not kid friendly nor adult friendly. Food was average to say the least. I would not go back nor recommend this resturant to my friends. "
Dined on 5/29/2014
"We went with a party of four. Our appetizers were crab-stuffed mushrooms, fried green tomatoes with lump crab meat, and ahi tuna. All were delicious, especially the ahi tuna. For entrees, we had snapper NOLA, grouper imperial, lobster bisque with Greek salad, and filet mignonette. Again, everything was wonderful. The lobster bisque was superb - sweet creamy and full of lobster. The filet was melt in your mouth tender. The snapper and grouper were also excellent. The desserts were disappointing - no better than mediocre. Creme brûlée was good, but the chocolate creme brûlée tasted like jello pudding The bread pudding was dry, burned on the bottom, and missing the white chocolate sauce The key lime pie was average"
Dined on 5/26/2014
"We found this restaurant by searching the area before we left home. What a find!! We were pleased from beginning to end!! It was amazing--from the Fried Green Tomatoes with Crab topping to the Lobster Bisque....divine!! We moved on to perfectly seared scallops topped with...deep fried carrots--they were such an interesting and wonderful topping! They were not heavy, just crispy! The only sad part of our meal...we didn't have room for our favorite--Creme Brulee. We will definately come back and reccommend to our friends!! I saw the soft shell crab at another table...that wil be my next order!!"

"Our server was Patricia. She did an exceptional job balancing the needs of several tables during our dining experience. SHe was very attentive to the needs of the children and to modify a couple of items to assure the picky children would eat what they were served. All of the food was hot, very well prepared, and very flavorful and noteworthy. All in all, it was a great dining experience. Prices were a little high (we spent $280.00 with tip) for dinner and drinks for four adults and two children ages 2 and 4."

"Food was very good and service was great. Really good $5 martinis before 6:30. Only a couple of crying brats stopped this from being a perfect evening "

"I really enjoyed the food.I had a penne pasta dish in vodka sauce w/shrimp and scallops. There could have been more shrimp and scallops in it, but it was very tasty and lots of it."

"We never miss eating here when we are at PCB. It is always excellent. We had a fantastic waiter this time named Warren. You can count on this place to be great every single time!"

"The food, wine and desert were all excellent. Service was exceptional and the atmosphere was very good. The unique twist on menu items made them stand out over same items anywhere else. It's a great restaurant that was full or locals and tourists. It was packed, 30+ waiting for a table, but with our Open Table reservation, we were seated immediately."
