In Destin for Christmas and went here on Christmas day. The place was full, but we got seated quickly by the water. Was a warm day, so this was just fine. Many televisions that had the day's games on. Server was very helpful and attentive. I had a bowl of seafood gumbo, my wife had a turkey sandwich/salad, and our daughter had fish tacos. The meal was good, and I had a Bloody Mary that was also very good. We will go back the next time we are in Destin.

Cool breakfast atmosphere. The bar was serving breakfast some choices with seafood. I had the "Top of the Morning" while the wife had the traditional breakfast. The coffee was so so. The waitress was friendly and gave us prompt attention. The food came out quick and was good. The chicken was cooked to perfection but needed more gravy. The biscuit was good but needs a little moisture.

We stopped by for dinner the night before. I had sushi and my husband the Baja tacos. They were both delicious, my sushi roll was a little smaller than I anticipated, and I didn't get full. I ordered a ceviche to fill myself up. It was so good but a little spicy for my taste. My husband let me try his food, and the taco was delicious. The fish was so tasty, and it tasted fresh. We stopped by this morning for breakfast. All I can say is I definitely recommend this place it was so good. I'm definitely coming back.

We had brunch and it was so good! The pretzel was so big and delicious. Bloody Mary was outstanding. Looking forward to coming back for breakfast next time. Lots of options on the menu. Clean bathroom

So this place is awesome !!! Foods great !! Crab stuffed Mahi ... so good ! My server ... attentive.? Many levels and great atmosphere... What's the downside?? It's expensive... Lots of flavor and great portions on my plate... just expensive... My table overlooking the harbor, watching tiki boats go by and enjoying the cool ocean breeze... that's what you are paying for... if you want to indulge a little...

Bar food. It is what it is. Not great seafood! Don't get the crab claws appetizer WAS NO CRAB WORST APP IVE EVER HAD!!! Save your money on the Tailfin Stack and ribeye!! The most expensive entrées and both were bearly edible. We only ate half. We thought we had a gift card to use and the the gift card should of taken care of the bill otherwise would of sent it back. The service was fast and friendly. It's a sports bar stay in your lane do burgers and fish. Learn how to cook the fish. We won't be back!

Tailfins was great! There was something for everyone. Great food, service was on point and the views were great.
We came here on a whim while walking through the boardwalk area. It was lunch time and there wasn't a ton of people inside. The service we had was awesome. We tried the special appetizer of the day; fried avocado bites. They were good, but in my opinion they were overpriced for getting 5 of them. The shrimp pasta dish I had was out of this world. Large portion and it reheated very well later on. My wife had the lunch special; chicken Philly and she loved it as well! I highly recommend coming here!

We came here for a bachelorette brunch and the bottomless mimosas were a hit! Our waitress was AMAZING and had them flowing for all 14 of us girls and were were a party. We even got to meet one of the owners and get a group picture. This place is massive and has a great brunch menu to choose from and eat especially while looking at the water.

Very bad experience walked in and didn’t get any service for a very long time nobody even looked at us and it was not busy.

Was told the slab of ribs were a favorite and were KC style. I got a small slab of way overcooked pre packaged/convection oven ribs with no sauce...pre basted before the convection oven. I asked for ketchup for the fries and a side of BBQ Sauce because they were dry. Waiter brought a small cup of ketchup and told me I would be charged extra for a small BBQ sauce...really??? After paying 28.00 for a terribly overcooked, small and dry slab...ya wouldnt think they wanted to charge extra for a small cup of BBQ Sauce. Actually no one in our group was satisfied with their meal. Worst Quality and Place on Destin Harbor...Wont be back for sure... Y'all been warned!!

The place I wanted to eat was closed on Monday, so I decided on another spot, but there was no parking and I was a little to dressed up to wait there. So, I decided to go here. We had never been here before on our trips to Destin. I was shocked to find parking. They do have an attendant making sure those that park here are going to the restaurant. We asked to dine on the deck overlooking the harbor. After some confusion from the hostess, we were sat at a table for two near the bar, but told they were really busy so it could be a while. Well, our waiter arrived promptly and took our drink order and we order an appetizer in case it was a long wait for our meal. The Shrimp Ceviche came out quickly and was good. Our meal wasn't long to come out too. We ordered Bushwhackers to go, but they were disappointing. I mean, we didn't have a bad experience, but it didn't blow us away. It wasn't good enough to revisit. It is in a great location and fun to walk by in the afternoons when they have live music, but the food wasn't spectacular enough to go back and take the kids.
Good food, good music and fast service
