29 Best Seafood Restaurants near Watersound

“We had a 6pm reservation and were greeted happily by the hostess and were sat at our table promptly. The atmosphere was beautiful. We ordered one drink, something with pear, that was so refreshing and delicious. My husband’s NY Strip was cooked to perfection, and my stuffed chicken dish was excellent. The BRUSSELS!!! Very good. Our service was phenomenal, and the attention of the staff (never once did we need a water refill, never once was there a dirty dish on our table) was superb. Highly recommended for an elevated dining experience!“

“Best shrimp boil I’ve ever had, from the seasoning to how well it’s cooked. Can’t beat it!“

“Best Grouper in all of 30a Fried and Blackened and the sides were great we ate there 5 times in the week we were there Definitely worth the wait and the Staff is super Cool A must try“

“This is by far the best experience I have ever had in any restaurant in the panhandle of Florida. Exquisite dishes, decor and atmosphere. Customer service is outstanding and it is the benchmark in the hospitality industry. I love this place and it is my all time favorite.“

“I had eaten at Mike's several times, but it had been 15 plus years ago or longer. It'd been that long since I'd stayed in this area on PCB. So I suggested it for dinner tonight and I'm sure glad I did! Everything was incredible! Everyone was so nice (including Mike) and the service was great. Raw oysters and Mike's baked oysters were awesome! Grouper picatta, fried shrimp and oysters were awesome and the banana pudding was a perfect bite for us all to finish a fantastic meal. Can't wait to visit Mike's again next year when we return to PCB.“

“The meal was absolutely amazing. Open air seating overlooking the ocean and each course was better than the last. The marlin dip was by far our favorite but hard to choose. And the staff were all incredible not afraid to offer their opinions on their favorite's. Will make this restaurant a regular on each of our trips to the island!“

“We went here last night 6.19.25 & Paris was our waitress and she went above and beyond. This place was packed from the moment it opened, we were her first night table of 12& she instantly had a bigger table of 15 and she handled both with grace and the most professionalism! We will 100% be back because of the food and Paris! Also, the food was so amazing. Great portion sizes! Outside there is a pool full of alligators that you can look at while you wait!“

“We had a wonderful family dinner here and enjoyed every moment. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The service was outstanding, and Rachel was especially fantastic: attentive, warm, and truly made the night special. We all had an awesome time and highly recommend this place!“

“I tried the conch fritters tonight and the Mahi fish tacos. I must say they were both AMAZING. I travel for work and I just stopped in for the night,I ordered a beer and some supper. Also very friendly staff. I will be back when I come back through town. Thanks y’all“

“After staying in the WaterColor Community for 10+ years each summer, I have never experienced that type of disrespect. Worse customer service ever. I do not wish that type of behavior on my worse enemy. Never again.“

“Our server was great, food was great - here’s my only complaint, and I take responsibility for not asking … but if “market price” for crab legs is $80… maybe mention that when someone is ordering 😱 Paid $120 for my 13 year old daughter and I to eat at lunch yesterday, and that was with no alcohol!“

“Fried shrimp and baked oysters were delicious. My best friend tried the raw oysters. Both oyster shocker did a great job on the oyster. I would highly recommend this place again.“

“Our first trip to Pescado was an unforgettable one! We had reservations and when we got there the hostess informed us that there was a seat outside if we wanted it. Little did we know, it was one of the best tables in the house! Our server was Hannah, and she was incredible! Her in depth of knowledge of the menu, and her ability to communicate it was impressive. Even more so, she wasn’t trying to “sell us” on anything. She answered our questions directly with granular details that enabled us to not only make a decision but to have the utmost confidence in what we were ordering. And SHE DIDN’T MISS! Everything we ordered was superb. We were able to have a nice experience on our “parents night out” without being rushed. So often restaurants along 30A are trying to get you in and out as quickly as possible and that was simply not the case. Lastly, compliments to the chef and kitchen staff. Everything that we ordered was excellent. We’ve lived all over the country, from LA to Miami, and had the opportunities to eat at several high end restaurants (including many with Michelin stars) and Pescado absolutely competed with many of those. We’ve eaten at numerous places along 30A as we have been vacationing here for 11yrs and I can tell you with 100% confidence we will be back at Pescado next summer! Hoping we can snag Hannah and an outdoor seat once again! Thank you for an incredible meal, experience, and a memorable night for the (4) of us getting a rare “night out” away from the kids.“

“My wife, mother-in-law, and I enjoyed a fantastic Mother’s Day brunch at Edward’s in Rosemary Beach. They’re typically only open for dinner, but we were fortunate to experience one of their special daytime brunches—and it was a standout from start to finish! Jimmy, the GM, welcomed us and had us seated quickly on their covered patio, which was perfect even with the steady rain. The chef created a beautiful brunch menu for the occasion, and our server, Kiyonta, was friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. We started with Deviled Eggs, the Seasonal Fruit Plate, and the Caesar Salad—each dish fresh, flavorful, and elegantly presented. For our entrées, we chose the Shrimp and Grits (incredible!), the Lox and Avocado, and Edward’s Omelet. Every bite was delicious, and the plating was as impressive as the flavors. We ended our meal with a trio of desserts: the housemade ice cream sandwich, crème brûlée, and key lime pie. Each one was delightful, but the ice cream sandwich may have stolen the show. Huge thanks to the Edward’s team for making our rainy Mother’s Day feel special and memorable. If you’re in Rosemary Beach, Edward’s MUST be on your list!“
