If u like the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld, you'll like this place. We came in @ 3pm ... not many people in the place. We asked for a window seat (there were many available) but was told there were limited servers so we could not sit at those window tables. They sat us at a table next to a group of women. My partner asked if we could sit one table over (she explained to me later that there was a heavy perfume smell that really bothered her), but we were told that was another server's table that wasn't in 'til 4pm ... so we were told we could sit at the prescribed table or wait an hour for the server to come in ... we decided 'No Soup for Us' and walked out.

We are here with friends on vacation after the Panama City Ironman. We came for dinner one evening and ordered 2 of the seafood platters and also crab legs. Unfortunately the platters didn’t have much food on them for the price and all of the seafood was overcooked. The fish on the platter was extremely overcooked without very much flavor. The crab cakes were very small and had an odd taste, not like what a crab cake should taste like. The platters were each $45 and the only good thing was that my husband and I split it vs. each getting one. If we hadn’t, we would have paid $90 for food that wasn’t good and wasn’t enough. On a good note, steak was also ordered and tasted good. The Miramar margarita I ordered was very good and our service was very good too. We are from Maryland and would not recommend this place for seafood.

This place was great! We went for lunch. Our server, Daniel, was really nice and funny as well. Very cheerful. Deserves a raise and a promotion! We had the seafood Nachos, soooo good. Very Florida tasting lol. That really was more than enough, with drinks, between the two of us. However we also had fish Tacos (excellent) and a Tuna Sandwich (also perfect). Great spot, right on the beach. Colorful and happy atmosphere, absolutely would go back if we are in the area again.

Highly recommend! Ask for Ashleigh. I had the Red Snapper broiled (alpha gal) blackened seasoning, side salad (she took off the cheese and croutons without having to be asked) *friendly to dairy and gluten allergies … so yummy

Service is good, right on the beach, great location. Food is on the bland side. Parking can be tuff because it's the same parking lot for the beach goers.

Views are great, right on the beach, food is very good overall, and service was friendly and fast. The beach bar was cool to hang out at waiting for takeout. Parking can be pretty difficult, even off-season, so plan more time in your visit for that. Grouper Reuben was a unique, tasty fusion. The reggae rolls were good, though I would have liked a touch more spice to them. Peel and eat Gulf shrimp were steamed perfectly!
