The experience tonight was borderline offensive. The staff clouds the air with “I hate my job” vibes, our waitress was absolutely awful and made it obvious she didn’t care at all about any type of service. The only words from her were “what do you want to drink” and “ready to order?” We were so appalled by the food we ended up paying and just leaving it. Probably the worst food experience I’ve ever had. “Grouper piccata” was soggy fish with a clear goopy sauce that tasted like flour and water, NO flavor. Then you had a clump of dried out pasta on the side. Like what??? The stuffed grouper also had absolutely no flavor. No salt on anything, we couldn’t believe how bland everything was. It’s like the kitchen was purposely putting out the worst food so people would leave since it was the end of the night - 8 pm.

Let’s start with the ambiance, this restaurant is stunning. It reminds me of a Cape Cod or Martha’s Vineyard mansion decorated in marine paraphernalia from days long past. From the brass diving helmets and manual air pumps to the beautifully carved figurehead taken from a historic hand-carved vessel. Every dining table is made from shellacked wood with a sign telling which retired ship it came from. Walking into this restaurant you are transported back in time adorned like a museum.The food was spectacular. The scallops cooked to perfection, the fish as fresh as can be, even the accompanying dinner salad was made to impress. I ordered the stuffed mushrooms appetizer and the crab stuffed grouper filet. I am a very picky seafood eater but this meal passed every test. The fish was fresh, flaky, and tender. The crab stuffing was incredible with the mix of grouper and stuffing being better than God intended eating the fish alone.The service was also great and the cocktails strong and tasty.This is a HIGHLY recommended stop next time you are in Panama City beach.

Service was excellent, first time I'd ever been and the store was awesome, with my son having autism it was a bit overestimating. However, all in all great place highly recommend. He couldn't put the octopus down and he loves it, that is why I said the mentioned the store (kpllll)l]⁰

We were very disappointed with all the hype of this restaurant. We went here on a date night and we certainly could have found a better place to spend our money. Just two of us w/o adult beverages was $136. The food was average or mediocre at best. The lobster and shrimp were over cooked - including their signature seafood platter. The waitress was much more concerned about her large party tables as we waited and had to request a refill on tea from a different waitress passing by and she seemed to gladly help, even though she to was clearly busy.Do NOT waste your time or money here!! There are so many other nice options. I'm a great cook and we should have just made the same dinner at home - "per my boyfriend ".

The whole grilled snapper was divine!! The she crab soup was loaded with crab! The service was "spot on"! We had a wonderful experience!

Nice place. I loved sitting with a water view. I ordered the shrimp scampi. Dish needed a bit more seasons and flavor, for my liking.
