    Great location. Pretty bad everything else. Outdoor tables wet from recent rain. No one seated us or prepared a table. The food is average diner quality. Service took forever. It’s right on the beach though. We won’t return even so.

    The best experience ever! The building is quaint and charming like a Cape Cod Cottage. The restaurant is so enchanting and beautiful. And the best part? The view!!! The restaurant has direct access to the beach. We came here for breakfast a few days ago then back to dinner tonight. Both the sunrise and sunset from the restaurant were breathtaking. The breakfast chef was super friendly. The food is delicious. Dinner was amazing. The bread pudding is everything. We met TC who sat us at our table and came back during our dinner to check on us and chat. He is by far one of the most engaging, gracious hosts I've had the pleasure of meeting. He made our experience 10x better. We can't wait to be back and stay at the Henderson Inn as well.

    Cuisine was very ordinary to poor. Lackluster staff and management. Food prepared doesn’t even match the description on the menu. Very beautiful old building but that is all it has to offer, everything else is very low quality. Don’t get ripped off by this place, go somewhere else.

    Beautiful oceanfront gem with amazing and innovative cuisine. The bread and honey butter are great, drinks are excellent, dinner was awesome and key lime pie was to die for! Smoked tuna was good. Smoked tomato soup was creative and excellent. Lobster mac n cheese was tasty with big lobster piece. Snapper and grouper were excellent and tasty. I already mentioned the key lime pie, but it serves another mention. A great experience. We were in Destin for 9 nights and dined here three times. GO!

    Over priced, chicken was over cooked. Ordered an alcoholic drink (navigator?) It was too sweet. I sent it back but it still was too sweet (paid $16 for it and took one sip and left it.) Very disappointed for the price I paid for dinner and a drink.

    For the price, the service was excellent. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. However, most of the starters were not available, and some of the cocktails needed to be made with the wrong rum due to a mishap in ordering of white rum. This wasn’t a dealbreaker, but the things we wanted were all affected somehow. The food was pretty good, but the price point for what we got didn’t add up, in my mind.

    For 40 bucks a head for brunch.. your menu needs to be better. I didn't even know waffles were an option till I seen someone get them. There needs to be pancakes or french toast. Location and beach view was awesome. Just needs a better menu .

    The food here was absolutely AMAZING, I ordered the snapper (which is what I came back for) it was absolutely amazing. The fish literally just melted in your mouth. The different textures with in the one dish were so good. The cream corn risotto added the perfect amount of “sweet” combined with the natural flavor of the fish, then the added flavor of the truffle fries. It was perfect. The new banana cream pie was also AMAZING. I was so full after the meal but decided to go with dessert after hearing they had banana cream pie. I couldn’t stop eating it, (that’s saying a lot due to the fact I’m on Semaglutide). I would give 10 starts if I could!

    We dined in the evening in late September. The location overlooking the ocean cannot be beaten and is perfect for a romantic evening. I can recommend timing your meal so you can enjoy watching the sunset together. Food and service was very good. We enjoyed shrimp cocktails to start, with grouper and tuna for entrees, finishing with key lime pie and enjoyed every bite.
