Great patio. Terrible food. The quality of food is very bad at this location. Mozzarella sticks starter were all cold. Twice baked potato had a bad taste. Mahi mahi was waaaaaaay overcooked and I don't know what the hell it was topped with but it didn't seem to taste like crab meat as the menu stated AT ALL!I felt very sick after eating. I also got an email when I arrived home saying I did not show on my reservation. The hell if I didn't! I have a sick stomach to prove it!Visited the Destin location once and thought the fish tacos were good but this Pier Park location is disgusting.

We were so disappointed with our food. The amount of money we spent didn't add up with the portions we received! The taste of the food was horrible. No seasoning on the food. We had to wait about 40 minutes to get our food to go. When we finally received the food we were missing items from the order and the food was cold! We will NOT BE GOING BACK! The hostess and the girls at the front were very nice though. The food is not WORTH what they charge! I would give them no stars if I could!

Love this place. Sat at bar for both lunches and dinners over the course of a week vacation. Happy hour food specials are great. Fried mushrooms are a great portion. Mike, Brad, and Bailey were great bartenders and very attentive. Highly recommend!

The other reviews are spot on. You come here for the location not the food. We sat on the deck and got to people watch and drink, was nice from that perspective. Service was good, our waiter was very attentive at first then a little spotty but overall good. Food was like eating out of a dumpster. Mahi was dry, over cooked and poorly seasoned. Oysters tasted like they were harvested out of a toilet. Kids fish toes tasted like, well, toes I guess. So good location bad food. One more thing, it was expensive.

Our service was awful. Our server treated us like we were a bunch of children. She walked passed our table several times without tending to us. Would cut us off and talk over us when we talked to her. Several times she walked away mid convo. As a party of 5, we ordered a kids meal, nachos, and 2 burgers and were there for over 2 hours. And that was with having no wait. Our server just ignored us/ avoided us.Upon asking for our checks, we waited another 20 minutes before we got them and she walked past our table several times without bringing them. When we asked for our checks and asked her to split them, she acted like it was a major inconvenience. Then when bringing our checks, she CIRCLED the total then told us which to sign and which was for her. Just treated us like total children.We complained to the manger, who was VERY NICE. He was very understanding and very kind. We aren’t ones to complain, but felt like he should know the service his servers are providing.We weren’t rude, annoying, etc. We remained kind and polite the entire 2+ hours despite her being passive aggressive and hardly serving us.

We were in this restaurant for the first and last time today. Service was OK.However, my family and I all got diarrhea after dinner. The poor quality was noticeable while eating. Never again!

The atmosphere and service were enjoyable. The food was wayyy overpriced for the quality. Mahi mahi was okay, not great. Sides were bland and tuna dip was average. The kids cheeseburger was something a kin to McDonald's and the fruit side was a dole tropical fruit cup. Plus side, my husband really enjoyed the gumbo and the happy hour margaritas were good for the price. Overall it was okay, but I would not choose to return.

some of the worst service i have ever recieved. waitress was very rude from the start, acting like our small modifications on our food was a hassle for her. i’m a server myself, so i completely understand if she was busy and stressed out. however her attitude would completely change when talking to the tables surrounding us. my food was completely wrong, but she did not come to check on us until the end of our meal. i have never felt more a burden to a server than i did here. I will not be back, and will be telling everyone i know to not go as well.
