The Gulf on Okaloosa Island

Food was cold … and the two female bartenders.. rude , must have been having a bad day ..

Our daughter got married there this past weekend April 26th, 2025. It was an amazing place for venue and food!!! The GM John is the absolute best to work with even if he’s a little on the short side (had to Boss Man)🤣🤣. He made the process so smooth and stress free! Couldn’t recommend it more. Thanks for everything and will be sure to stop again if back in the area!!

We are locals and truly enjoy the atmosphere at The Gulf! We have had the pleasure of having Nicole be our bartender and server numerous times. Her personality adds a bright light to our visits. She is quite the ambassador for The Gulf and our local community.

Nice place，good food and beautiful ocean view. Enjoy the views! Ms.Courtney is the best!

Awesome atmosphere. Bring you own water bottle.

We were at your restaurant once before, during our Thanksgiving visit. Christy is an excellent manager. We hope she’s there when we stop later in the week. We are from Phoenix and visit your area occasionally. Thank you, Donald Mattes, Goodyear Az.

Sat at the bar to watch Sunday football and Nicole took amazing care of us. Terrific bartender!

I only had the tuna dip and it was great. I’m not a big fan of the service style.

Attending for a retirement ceremony and couldn’t have had a better time! The staff were all extremely hospitable and friendly with a special shout out to Juju, Nicole, and John! Extra thanks to Juju for putting up with our silliness while we were ordering Ice cream for our kids. She was kind, patient, and helpful and went out of her way to be accommodating. Excellent experience!

Excellent food! Nicole and the entire staff did a great job taking care of us. The views are good, and it was interesting to watch boats go by as we had lunch. We were staying in Destin but the restaurant is right off the bridge as you enter Okaloosa. We will be back!!
