7 Best Sushi Bars near Alys Beach

“We had the most incredible experience at O-Ku Alys Beach! Cassandra was our server, and she made the evening absolutely unforgettable. From start to finish, it was hands down the best dinner we have ever had. We were celebrating our 11-year-old’s birthday, and Cassandra went above and beyond to make it truly special. The level of care, attention, and genuine warmth she showed us was unlike anything we’ve ever experienced at any restaurant. The food was out of this world—every bite was perfection. Fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. It’s rare to find a place that nails both world-class service and food, but O-Ku exceeded every expectation. This is a night our family will never forget. Thank you, Cassandra and the entire O-Ku team, for giving us the best dining experience of our lives. We can’t wait to come back!“

“This past weekend shaka hosted my baby shower outside on their gorgeous patio and it couldn't have turned out more perfect! They brought in someone to work the bar and helped cater to our every need. There was so much space and the venue was breath taking! Kenyon Deal is the guy to see. He made sure we had everthing we needed before all of our guests arrived and numerous guests who attended noted that is was the best baby shower they had ever been to! So greatful for the amazing staff and will be using them again for any future needs! 100 out of 10 would recommend.“

“Gather is located in watercolor inn and has a wonderful atmosphere inside. Dress casual or dress up you’ll fit in! We went two separate times and had great waiters and service. The food was good, but a little on the salty/vinegar side. The blackened mahi fish sandwhich was good and the truffle fries with aioli were our absolute favorite thing there. The Asian inspired bowl was good, but quite salty. The strawberry shortcake dessert left something to be desired; the shortcake was two large dry biscuits (?) with very minimal whip cream and a few strawberries. For the price it was not worth it and better desserts around town. We also got a to-go snack around 8:30 pm one night which consisted of the garlic parm chicken wings and a ceasar wrap with fries- unfortunately these were not good. Perhaps because they were to-go? The wings were dried to a crisp we couldn’t even pull the skin off. The ceasar wrap lacked fresh greens, and the fries were.. just fries.Overall we’d dine in again in the future when we’re back but might try different menu items.“

“Beautiful atmosphere and great menu. This is a one of a kind restaurant in the area with unique waterfront seating with fairly lights above. We have consistently experienced great food and find this restaurant to be on our favorites list as locals. Lots and lots of seating. Get the 🐠 🐟 fish!!“

“The 87 Central team handled the reception for our Seaside Prize weekend. What an elegant evening in the heart of Seaside. Thank you, Jim Shirley and team for making this night extra special.“

“We went here on a Tuesday afternoon so it was not very busy. Food was delicious and fresh. Much better than a lot of Thai restaurants I have tried around the area. I love Tom Kha soup and their’s has just the right amount of spice and flavor. Thai fried rice was delicious. Sweet and sour chicken has a great taste as well. Crab Rangoons were amazing. I loved the presentation of the dishes as well with the cucumbers and orange slices. I will definitely be coming again!“

“So we wanted to check out AJs on a lazy Sunday afternoon, first impressions not to good with the hostess, at first we thought she was joking because she acted like we were interfering with her conversation with the staff, she wasn't joking but she did finally seat us. Emily was our waitress, we're so glad she was paying attention to us because they messed up my order which took them 35-40 minutes to serve me, my wife already had finished her meal. Hats off to Emily paying attention, she apologize more than once, kept us updated and she told the manager Tim and he made it right. We get it, there's times when the kitchen make mistakes but how the management handled it makes all the difference. Will be back again and give it another try. Ask for Emily if your looking for good service. Thanks Tim.“
