About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
Gulfstream is an elegant seafood restaurant celebrating the cuisine found down all along the Gulf of Mexico. The restaurant itself consists of two sections, the indoor dining area that is decorated with dark stained wood and black iron rivets and the outdoor patio that wraps around the restaurant. Both are excellent places to eat, but when the weather is nice it is tough to beat a seat in the sunshine.Gulfstream's menus are inspired by seafood houses across America's history. While there are several delicious starters available, the one many people come for is the North Pacific oysters. These oysters are shucked to order and served on the half shell, guaranteeing freshness. For dinner options, there are some non-seafood selections like the Prime Rutherford rib eye and mustard barbecue beef ribs, but most guests go for seafood specialties like the New Orleans barbecue shrimp and the seared ahi tuna steak

    WE HAVE BEEN THERE NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE YEARS AND USUALLY HAVE THE SHRIMP COCKTAIL TO SHARE AND FOUR BISCUITS. BOTH OF WHICH ARE AT THE TOP OF OUR LISTS. HUGE LUCIOUS SHRIMP AND GREAT BISCUITS AND WE USUALLY TAKE FEW HOME FOR LATER. THE ATMOSPHERE AND THE SERVICE ARE AS GOOD AS IT GETS! DOUG ALLEN

    Had a nice dinner at Gulfstream. Most impressed with the reasonable prices of the fine wine list. Enjoyed the interior design and menu but the restaurant was very crowded and loud on a Thursday night.

    We had a reservation at 7:30 yet weren't seated until 8:00. Tried to get drinks for kids and a glass of wine for my wife to placate them during the unexpected wait but bartender ("Emily" gets zero stars) for absolutely no reason was incredibly rude. Really blew my mind. Can't believe a person like that is in the food and drink service industry. The waiter ("Devin" gets five stars) once we got out our table was polite and fantastic, as was the food. Bottom line - go when it isn't crowded, avoid Emily and you will have a great time.

    This was a first time at this restaurant. My husband and I took an out of town guest for lunch. The quality of food and wine were both great. I don't think either of us made a bad choice from appetizers to our entrees. It was a good price point for the quality and quantity of food. Our server was also very pleasant.
