    Food is consistently good here. Prepared well and beautifully presented. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Ambiance is great and a bit of a departure from typical Florida architecture...more reminiscent of New England.

    Waitress may have been new. English was her second language so I could tell it was difficult for her to pronounce some of the specials, which I can empathize with her and was patient. I’d asked for dipping oil for my bread (which is pictured on the website), she seemed confused and she brought me a bowl of vegetable oil, no spices or accouterments. You could tell she had no idea what I wanted with it. Blew my mind. Also, luck of the draw, we were unfortunately seated on the patio in the spot where everyone was brought over by their server to take pictures. Which was a few feet from our table and required us to move and or even become the photographer., which was rude. It unfortunately halted our conversation a few times and was a huge distraction. Maybe not put tables in the vicinity of the perfect picture spot. Food was pretty good but nothing amazing.

    Our favorite restaurant in Destin and we have owned a condo there for over 20 years and visit often. Menu is a little limited but that's understandable given the intimate size of the restaurant. Service is always great. Some of the entrees are too spicy for my taste but servers can help navigate around this issue. Deserts are just as high caliber as the apps and entrees. A foodie destination for sure.

    We had a wonderful Mother’s Day dinner here! I made a mistake about our reservation time and they were so kind and accommodating. The food, the service, the atmosphere all were absolute perfection! We had the filet and the grouper and both were fully incredible, highly recommended. Also the wedge salad and the key lime pie rounded out the whole experience. I wish we could remember our servers name, she was wonderful, attentive without being overwhelming. All around go try this place out, it’s excellent!!

We got complimentary drinks which was unexpected and the food was phenomenal .. just the right amount of food per person. We will always come back here! Thank you for making us feel special on our very special day! 🩷

    This is my favorite restaurant in the area. I have ordered the Grouper Vince many times and last night it was over cooked and arranged and way too much Worcestershire. My friends Tuna was excellent. Guess I should have ordered something else?

    This is our 3rd time to the Beach Walk Cafe in about 4 years. This is definitely a special occasion place because the cost is very high. Four of us spent well over $400 for four entrees, 3 glasses of house wine, 4 soups, and 2 desserts. Everything was very good and all of the food came out at the absolute perfect temperature (hot). The view of the Gulf is gorgeous, and the ambience is probably the best in the area. Our server was friendly and competent but not very proactive or situationally aware. We had to practically beg her for dessert but this didn't detract enough from the overall experience to enjoy celebrating my wife's birthday.

    We have tried to eat here for several years, but you have to get a reservation several weeks out and we are only at the beach for a week at a time and don't know our schedule. I'm glad I went here to cross it off our list, but I don't think we'll be back. It wasn't bad; it just wasn't worth it. There are equally as good restaurants without the pretentiousness of this place. Prices are at least $20/entree more than other equivalent places. Food average + service average + prices probably the most expensive place in the area = below average experience. Also, this place is basically a place that people hold up their pinky finger for because they are staying at the inn. I'll go down the street and have my $20 grouper sandwich somewhere else!
