    The food was exceptional as was the service. The restaurant was quiet, clean and elegant. We were seated by the window overlooking the Gulf which made the ambience perfect.

    Eaten here many times over the years sometimes good, sometimes really good. Our dinner May 28, 2025 was outstanding in every way. The best version of Grouper Vince I’ve ever had. Filet was fork tender.

    This is our favorite place to go for a special evening on the Emerald Coast. The food quality is amazing. The view beautiful and comfortable, even on a warm evening. Service is always great. Not inexpensive, but so special that it's totally worth the little extra expense.

    This was an amazing restaurant! There was a maximum level of food, drinks, service, and food to rival anywhere in the world. The red snapper dish was so amazing, I ate every bite!My husband adored the blackened Mahi Mahi! This was only matched with impeccable service and views! We will never miss Beach Walk Cafe again!

    I went here with my husband for my birthday celebrations. We had a wonderful sea view and the most delicious food. The waitress was great, so attentive and knowledgeable. All the food and drink was excellent. I can't wait to return!

    We were looking to have a "very luxury breakfast" just as the website described.. Not sure if it's because they are selling the idea of having -dinner- there.. But service was okay. We had to wait a few times. We ordered some potatoes as per the server recommendation and they served us hashbrowns?? anyways... food was good but it wasn't spectacular.. I would compare it to snooze or first watch. Alsoo, even though we arrived first, they took care of a bigger group before us.. We understand sometimes they only care about the tip but it seemed unfair. Not sure if we would come back.. Very nice place but not sure it's worth it.

    Awful staff! Didn’t say anywhere we couldn’t have a new born and we were turned away from our reservation. Heard great things about this place but I will let everyone know our experience.

    I never leave bad reviews, but this experience warrants one. Yesterday was hands down the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. We showed up for our scheduled reservation and were immediately met by a rude host. After being seated, another party was seated after us — and while they were promptly greeted, we were completely ignored. No acknowledgment for over ten minutes. Did not even offer us anything to drink. This kind of treatment is unacceptable. I’ve since looked into other reviews and noticed we’re not the only ones with a negative experience here. I do not recommend spending your money at this establishment.
