   It's an over-priced tourist trap. Food is bland and too expensive. Don't waste your time or money here.

   Waited for the server who passed the table 5 times and didn’t acknowledge the group until we decided to leave. It was not busy at all, maybe will give it a try in the future!

   It is a good restaurant with good food for a good price. I would visit the restaurant again.

   Waited over a hour for our food. When it arrived, it was barely warm and dry. I had the fish trio, it tasted okay,just a little dry.

   I would not recommend…hostess apparently didn’t think it was worth speaking, the waiter was new to being a waiter and just could not manage a party of 6 and the food was mediocre. I’m sorry to say we were very disappointed

    Started off ok drinks came out slow but waitress was on it. However the food came out we we’re missing one meal at our table and he had to wait about 30 minutes for this meal. No apology given for this. From the time we got our drinks to the end of the meal we maybe saw our waitress once. We had people at our table needing condiments and waters but wasn’t worth even asking by the time she came around. Crap dinning experience all around. We’ve been to the one in destin and loved it, sadly this was just not the same.

    Waiter was attentive but the food was bland and tasteless. Given the prices, we expected much more. Also, unfortunately a couple of obnoxious and loud vehicles kept circling the block. Very disruptive; PCB ought to consider a noise ordinance if there isn’t one.

    The food was not bad just not as good as expected when comparing it to our last experience at the Destin location. Our waitress was nice however when we requested tartare sauce that had not been sitting on a warm Florida outside table she kept trying to tell us how good it was and even though it was warm it didn’t need to be swapped out for some that was chilled. After our second conversation about the sauce she reluctantly brought us some cold sauce.

    The staff are friendly and fun. The food was really good. Overall it was more like a chain restaurant than I expected but the food was great and had good presentation. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. It was quiet while we were there but the restaurant had less than half the tables filled at the time. Entrees were a bit pricier than I expected. Seemed like fine dining prices for a slightly above average food menu.

    The menu has many selections. The gumbo was tasty but that’s where it stopped. The fried mahi mahi was almost tasteless. The French fries were soggy. The blackjack tuna was chewy and other than the scant amount of sauce was tasteless. The green bean medley was so overcooked it was inedible. I asked for something else and was given the corn, also tasteless. I was told they wouldn’t charge me extra for the corn. Gee thanks! Te waitress was sweet and attentive. This restaurant is SO overpriced for the value and quality served. Would never go back!!

    I don’t think this is a place we would return to. I first do want to say that our server COURTNEY was the only positive thing about our dinner. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable. It was just over priced to start with. We started with some fried calamari and drinks and they were not crispy at all. Instead, rather soggy. I had a grouper entrée, my husband a mahi-mahi entrée, they were both extremely thin cut and over cooked. I had added a stuffed baked potato to mine and it was so dry it was just gross. Around $35 each. The other four people in our party were not very pleased either and just thought things were so so. I’ll also add that I was glad we were able to sit outside because the smell inside is an over powering used cooking oil smell. Floors were slippery with food on them and it just had an unclean feel. Sorry, not sorry. But it’s the truth

    Food was subpar, reviews made it sound like it was going to be amazing. Only thing worth eating was the twice baked potato, could have ate about 12 of them. The fried pickles, sunset chicken, & stuffed shrimp are the other items we ordered & we were not impressed at all! The stuffed shrimp is $35 & isn’t worth the money. Service was pretty crappy, our waiter rolled his eyes & gave us attitude every time we asked for something.
