Amazing experience at Ambrosia! We went to celebrate my birthday and everything was fantastic from start to finish. The service was outstanding -- our waiter, Tommy, explained everything in detail and clearly knew the menu, wine list, and dishes inside and out. He was attentive throughout the whole dinner. The food was incredible. We started with the fried steak rolls, which were delicious, along with the steak -- so tender and flavorful -- the wagyu bread, and the butcher's bacon rack -- everything was amazing. For our main course, we shared the signature filet, and Tommy kindly offered to cut it in half for us. We paired it with the mushrooms as a side, which were also delicious. By dessert we were already so full, but we ordered one anyway and we're so glad we did -- the banana bread cake was incredible. They also brought us a complimentary crème brûlée for my birthday, which was such a sweet touch. The ambiance, food, and service were all excellent. We'll definitely be back. Thank you, Tommy, for making our night so special! read more

I went here Friday night for happy hour. What a fantastic find. Every nice upscale decor. We shared the ceviche, oysters, BBQ shrimp and the pineapple bread. They were all good. The flavor of the sauce on the BBQ shrimp was amazing. The only disappointing thing was the pineapple bread. It was very fresh and soft, but we all agreed it was missing something. Then we ordered dinner. There was a smash burger with beef tallow tots, a she-crab soup, tuna tartar and seared snapper over coconut rice. I had the snapper - it was fantastic. We had to pass on dessert as we were all full. read more

AMBROSIA IS DELIGHTFUL! EPICURIOUS WOULD APPROVE! Ambrosia Prime Seafood and Beef: Watersound off of Hwy 98. Incredible service, felicitous staff from hostesses to bussers to waiters (Tommy) to the manager and the managing partner (Mississippian Jason Burgardt)--who waited tables at Walker's Drive-in, then managed Flight in Memphis; we even had people in common. Overall the level of service here is outstanding. Seating is comfortable and spacious. Glassware is tasteful. Immediate service was provided when appropriate. We enjoyed the Angel Eggs: Crispy shrimp, farm eggs & bacon marmalade. A 1/2 Caesar salad and a wedge, and for entrees we both had a Taste of 30A: Grouper, Red Snapper and Crab-stuffed Flounder with accouterments that corresponded with the full-size entrees. Each fresh fish dish was flawlessly presented, with fish perfectly flaky and executed and the subtle-yet-distinct flavors melding into an absolute gestalt of goodness! Loved the touch of the micro greens. A most enjoyable, tasty dining experience! Highly recommend if on or near 30A! Worth the drive!!! Also, we peeked in the bar that has a happy hour from 3-6! Had a warm speak-easy feel! You can dine there as well. We were told the locals enjoy this unique spot and I can see why. In addition, there is outdoor seating with soft overhead hanging lights. A side dining room can be closed off for a private dining experience, with seating in that room for up to 40. Lots of options for special events in this space for table seating as well as menus. Even though our reservation was for 4:30pm, by the time we departed the restaurant at 6:15, the place was filled with diners yet still the atmosphere was not hectic or loud. Somehow they maintain that serene but not too stiff environment. I'd say, it was very clear to me that all the staff here is dedicated to serving others and to excellence. When you pair that with a gifted chef, sous chef, and focused kitchen staff who are dedicated, you get a 5-star restaurant. Pair all of that with a caring and professional Managing Partner, and you have a special place to dine. Ambrosia Prime Seafood and Beef is a 5-star gem restaurant in the 30A area. I look forward to returning and ordering the Wagyu Filet! Until then... read more

We had the absolute BEST experiences of our trip at this restaurant. We had such a good experience the first time we came, that we visited twice on our 4 day trip. Our server Jack was the kindest human being ever, and made us feel so comfortable about the handling of my husband's food allergies (gluten, dairy, etc.). He was so personable and professional, and has a ton of experience in the food industry himself. We trusted him completely, which is rare. Now on to the food, the first night I got the soft shelled crab, which was delicious. It was very lemon forward and a generous portion. My first time ever having a dish of the sort and I was pleasantly surprised. The other night, I got the Scallops and truffle risotto, which was amazing as well, but the real star was the risotto. It was so good, I would recommend getting it as an individual side with anything. We also received the crème brûlée for our anniversary, which was great as well. My husband had the shrimp cocktail, filet mignon, and elk over the course of his 2 dinners. Both were the best meals of his trip. The ambience of this place was also super nice, and there was plenty of parking since it was near a shopping center. All of the wait staff were extremely professional and seemed to enjoy working together. They all seemed genuinely happy to be there. We will definitely be coming back every time we are in town! read more

One of the best experiences to be had in the Rosemary Beach area. Service was simply amazing from start to finish. The Wagyu Bread-Seared Snake River Farms Wagyu, Brioch, Cured Egg Yolk, Roasted Garlic Aioli, Truffle was a unique way to start the meal. For my main, I went for the special Steak Flight - Petite Filet, Boursin Cheese, Mashed Potatoes, Bordelaise - Elk Chop, Rahlua Glaze, Truffled Risotto - Wagyu Rib Cap, Hen of the Woods Mushroom, Wagyu Butter with a side of Wagyu Tallow Fried Tots. Oddly, the only somewhat disappointing part of the flight was the wagyu rib cap. It is not that it was bad, I just was expecting more from it. Everything else was outstanding. The place itself feels like a modern steak house, and with it opening just three years ago, it should. Parking is easy, though you might need to walk a bit! read more

Absolutely unacceptable treatment of families with young children. Our experience at Ambrosia was extremely disappointing. We came as a family with our 6-year-old and our 1 1/2-year-old daughter. While waiting for our food, our toddler became bored and screamed a few times -- she is ONE AND A HALF YEARS OLD. She is a baby. Babies make noise. Instead of showing even a little understanding, the manager came to our table and told us to do something about the baby because other customers were complaining. Seriously? If a restaurant does not have the patience or understanding to deal with a baby occasionally making noise, then perhaps it should clearly advertise that families with young children are not welcome. We were so uncomfortable with the way we were treated that we simply got up and left. We didn't cause a scene, we didn't argue, and we didn't bother anyone. We took our children and left. A family spending money at a restaurant should not be made to feel embarrassed or unwelcome because their 1 1/2-year-old gets bored while waiting for food. There are plenty of restaurants that understand what having children means and treat families with respect. Unfortunately, Ambrosia made it very clear that we were not welcome. We will absolutely not be coming back, and I would think twice before bringing young children here. read more

I sat at the bar and asked for the hamburger. It's a stake house it should be great. It was so bad. Taste like sand or sawdust. So disappointed read more

This was the most incredible dining experience we have ever had, my husband agrees. The young lady on the phone was so kind answering my questions and assisting with my reservation I was already impressed before we even arrived. Then we get the most warm welcome as soon as we walk in the door, we felt like celebrities. We each order different signature drinks and they were so fun and creative, very impressed. Then comes the food....mind blowing! The snapper entree and my husbands steak were the best we've ever had, seriously! You can tell how fresh and high quality everything is right away (not to mention they showcase their freshly caught fish as soon as you enter the restaurant). The wine list had such an amazing selection, we were able to try something we'd never had before which was amazing. Thank you Ambrosia for an incredible night we will be returning very soon! read more

We experienced service , service, and more service....tonight here at Ambrosia and found it was very polished and we were told by management that it is constantly being perfected. Amazing, because we were already impressed when we approached the front door and it was opened by a staff member who welcomed us and asked us if we wanted to dine-"of course"! And the other hostess stand staff said they had a wonderful booth for us and yes they did! Drink good, salad good, soup good, steak good, mashed good... read more

Ambrosia - Steakhouses Near Me - Watersound, Florida

We made a last-minute Sunday reservation at Ambrosia and had an amazing experience thanks to Stefen S. From the start, he went above and beyond--especially for my pregnant wife. He thoughtfully recommended pregnancy-friendly dishes and even pointed out their mocktail menu so she could still feel included, which we really appreciated. It had been a few months since our last visit, so I decided to trust all of Stefen's recommendations--and he did not disappoint. We started with the prime rolls for an appetizer, and for our entrees my wife had the snapper while I went with the BBQ shrimp. Everything was absolutely delicious. Stefen was attentive, knowledgeable, and answered every question we had. The service alone is enough to make us come back more often. Great job, Stefen--keep it up! Ambrosia, we'll definitely be back. read more

Ambrosia - Bbq shrimp and snapper - Steakhouses Near Me - Watersound, Florida

Good: nice atmosphere and friendly staff Bad: sloooow service, overpriced for quality, slooooow bar service The bacon appetizer is cute, but not worth the price. It's bacon served with five different seasonings. 1) applewood, 2) bourbon glaze, 3) black pepper, 4) pecan, and 5) coconut/coffee. It's just bacon. The difference in flavor is subtle and you're paying for the presentation. It comes with scissors and tongs to serve. (About now, if the management is reading this they're saying, "Oh, no! They're on to us!) The bread service again is ok - not special. If you want a sweet treat before your meal then this is it - think breakfast roll. The crab cake is just ok. Do not waste your money. It's overly buttery (greasy) and they'll tell you it's one of the best crab cakes you'll ever have - it is NOT. It's also small for $38. That's the appetizer folks! Not worth it. The Caesar salad dressing's flavor was a bit like "The Emperor's New Clothes." They will tell you it's there, but you can't actually confirm its presence. The BBQ Shrimp had a very strong shrimpy flavor. Overly so. We are from southern Louisiana - we do know seafood. It's what we grew up on all of our lives. The lobster bisque has a nice flavor, but very thin - more like a soup than a bisque. The Taste of 30A was fine. It's a good way to try different dishes. The flounder was dry - definitely overcooked. We didn't say anything because the service was so painfully slow that we didn't want to mess with what little flow they had. The petite filet was typical - not special. If you find yourself at this restaurant, order the molten lava cake. It's not the best one you'll ever have, but the best item you'll get here. read more

Made reservations at Ambrosia to celebrate my husband's birthday. It came as a surprise that this restaurant is located in Watersound. From the hosts to our waitress- Teraine, the service was top tier and made the restaurant feel like a true fine dining experience. Starters- pineapple rolls + angel eggs: The pineapple sweet rolls are a must! The sweetness of the bread is truly addicting. The angel eggs were a fun play on deviled eggs. The bacon on top is an explosion of flavor in your mouth. My husband and I then shared the tour of 30A. Of the three dishes you get to sample, the snapper was my favorite. Each dish comes over a unique side featuring either coconut rice, gnocchi or risotto. Each dish was also unique and packed with flavor. It gave us such a good sample of the quality of foods at Ambrosia and the local seafood. We got Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes as our sides. Sides are big enough to share tapas style. Also be mindful that the Brussels are topped with bacon though it can be removed upon request. Dinner was topped off with a birthday crème brûlée on the house. My husband enjoyed his birthday and we would recommend Ambrosia for special occasions or a romantic date night to anyone in the area. read more

Had one of the best meals of my life here. Ambiance was perfect for an upscale night out. Our party ordered a ton of dishes and they were all amazing. Our server (Tarrin?) was stellar. She was perfectly attentive without bugging us. The restaurant was very knowledgeable and accommodating for gluten free/allergy needs. Some of the things we tried: bacon app, crab soup, lobster bisque, watermelon salad, ribeyes, filets, taste of 30A, shrimp and grits, scallops, mashed potatoes, asparagus, carrots, mac and cheese, crème brûlée, and half the cocktail menu. FANTASTIC!! A few notes: bisque was so packed with lobster and butter flavor, watermelon salad was loved by whole table, taste of 30A we shared as an app and it was killer, the sauce in the carrots tasted like key lime cheesecake, crème brûlée was extra smooth. Cocktails were balanced and delicious. read more

This is our new favorite spot! The best service we've had since moving to the area one year ago (and we've been to a lot of restaurants)! We were celebrating our wedding anniversary.

The food was outstanding and it was an overall great experience! We are going back for our daughter's birthday and can't wait! read more

Ambrosia - Scallops entrée - Steakhouses Near Me - Watersound, Florida

My wife made a reservation for our 40th wedding anniversary. What a night! We were welcomed and every employee we came in contact with wished us a happy anniversary. We had an awesome table and a very nice young waiter from Spain. We started with the BLT wedge, and it was fantastic. My wife got the petite fillet and I went with the ribeye. Both were cooked perfectly and the quality was outstanding. The only thing I would change is, I wish we would have gotten plain mashed potatoes rather than the loaded. The loaded are filled with flavor and bacon, and it's sort of overpowered the steak, but still very good!We got the bread to go along and it is special. Our waiter brought us a complementary crème brûlée for our anniversary and it was wonderful. Lovely new place to now visit each time we come to 30A. read more

BEST HAPPY HOUR IN ALL OF 30A the waygu bread is maybe the best thing ive ever put in my mouth

This restaurant is absolutely beautiful! The bar area is stunning. The staff was kind and truly seemed to try. Our visit was in 4/2025. I ordered the shrimp and grits. It was good but I could identify what would have made it better. The grits needed Gouda, the dish needed spices for more flavor. It's not spicy at all so I asked for pepper and hot sauce. It took a long time to come... but it helped. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. My son ordered elk well done. That's his preference. He sent it back to the kitchen twice and it never got cooked well. We were all finished by the time they brought it to him the 3rd time still bloody. These were unfortunate misses. I would try Ambrosia again but order something all together different. read more

This restaurant is aptly named, as it delivered one of the best dining experiences I've had. Love the atmosphere, classic steakhouse feel where you're welcomed at the front door, leave the Florida sun behind for a bit, and move into the subtly energetic bar or the peacefully bustling dining area. Or hit both. Food, cocktails, and wine selection are outstanding. We started with the angel eggs--I do not like deviled eggs, but these beauties changed my mind temporarily (and not just the name change), as the egg and crispy shrimp made for incredible bites. The Hawaiian bread starter was fluffy and sweet. I tried the taste of 30-A (selection of three fish entrees): it was hard to choose a winner (snapper by a hair over the flounder), and the portions were quite generous (given the price compared to the full individual dishes, I honestly figured we'd see little bite-sized portions, but when you add on apps, delicious sides, and a bread pudding dessert that I'm still thinking about, each one was nearly enough for a meal!). There was also an elk special when we were there that needs to make the main menu, as it was beautifully cooked, tender beyond belief, and had that perfect gaminess (in a good way) of elk without the need for a ton of adornment. One comment on the cocktails worth adding: the Foster Old Fashioned was was a unique and delicious spin on the classic cocktail (using a rum base instead of bourbon, and it really was like drinking a less sweet bananas foster)--very much worth a try. Service was top notch. Bartenders were excellent, our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful, and the hostesses were welcoming. I very much look forward to a return visit...or preferably visits. read more

We visited Ambrosia for my mom's birthday. The service was outstanding and the restaurant was beautiful. We started with the Pineapple Sweet Rolls and the Wagyu Bread. Both were amazing. For entrees our table ordered the Wagyu Filet - cooked perfectly, Wagyu Zabuton - my husband said it was a tad salty for him but cooked perfectly otherwise, Crab Stuff Flounder - delicious, and Redfish Pontchartrain - one of the best things I've ever had, will recommend to anyone. For sides we got the Brussels Sprouts - I hate brussels sprouts and these were delicious, Mashed Potatoes - so creamy and cheesy, and the Fried Okra - taste like homemade. Such a great experience, will definitely come back! read more

Love, love, love this restaurant. This was our 2nd time dining here and equally impressed! Reservations are easily made. They offer outdoor and indoor dining. One dining area is very bright while the lounge area is dim and more intimate. Our server Brittany was amazing. The pineapple sweet rolls are a MUST! So soft, so sweet and so delicious! Their Caesar salad is very good. We tried the Taste of 30a ($58) which gives you a small portion of 3 great dishes! We were celebrating my birthday and I was given a complimentary crème brûlée. It was perfect! Everything about this experience was perfect! Thank you so much for such an amazing night. read more

Such a lovely place! Both the dining area and the bar room are beautifully designed, creating an inviting and elegant ambiance. The bartenders are incredibly welcoming--and boy, oh boy, can they craft a perfect martini! Every entrée I've tried has been Michelin-level, and last night's Chicken & Waffles, paired with a side of Brussels sprouts, was no exception. I will definitely be re-ordering. (Probably an odd combo, but I'm an odd gal, so) Ambrosia is a must-visit, whether you're looking for a refined dining experience or just stopping in for a top-tier cocktail. Love it here! read more

This review is a bit overdue. We are from Maryland and purchased a small home close to Ambrosia but had never eaten there. What a nice dinner! We have traveled to the Far East, Indonesia, Europe, the Artic Circle, all major cities in the USA and Canada, and other places far and wide. We can say that this dinner (steak) exceeded our expectations. It was excellent. The ambiance was made better via our waiter Tommy and the manager Jason. Thanks for the yummy meal and pleasure of your company. As soon as our feet land back in Watersound, we will return. read more

Ambrosia is a special dining experience. Besides the food being excellent, the service is beyond five star. Immediately upon entering the customer is welcomed by a cast of staff. Once seated, besides the server, there is a cadre of additional staff who are consistently in contact to make sure the diner's every need is met. I complemented the excellent service to our server who then retrieved the General Manager to further engage. When I mentioned that I was an executive coach and corporate trainer, he retrieved not just one, but two books for me that form the foundation of the Ambrosia team's approach to service. From a service standpoint, any of us in the service or hospitality business can learn valuable lessons from this enterprise. read more

We've been down to this area many times but this was our first visit at Ambrosia. We will definitely be back! Everything was perfect and we absolutely loved our server, Lynn. Lynn was attentive, personable, and funny. She kept us laughing and we enjoyed our time with her. The food was spectacular but Lynn was the standout of the night. You don't get service like that very often. We started with the pineapple bread, Wagyu bread and the crab soup/lobster bisque. Everything was delicious and I'd highly recommend all of those dishes. For our mains we both had the Taste of 30A. It was a great way to taste all of their standout fish dishes. We had so many appetizers that next time we'd probably just share this one main dish between two people. It's a lot of food! For desert we had the chocolate lava cake. It was delicious as well. The restaurant is beautiful and we can't wait to go back. Next time we might ask for a booth in the bar area because it looked really nice. Thanks for the outstanding meal and service! read more

My wife and I went here on vacation for our anniversary and it didn't disappoint. Being from Nebraska we're spoiled by good beef.. you can say we are snobs sometimes. We both got steaks (wife got lobster too) instead of the seafood which you would want on a coastal vacation. Staff was great, ambiance was perfect, and the food was worth the money. I said I didn't want my tomahawk cut but they did it anyways, that would be my only complaint. I like cutting meat off the bone myself and getting a cool picture. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone in town looking for a high tier and classy night out. If I find myself back in this area I would go again and will lead any friends/family in this direction. read more

My wife and I tried Ambrosia for the first time tonight. My wife had the taste of 30A seafood flight. I had a dozen raw oysters and the diver scallops with risotto. Both were 5 stars. Not that we were looking but we couldn't find anything less than perfect with our meals. Service was exceptional. Lynn exceeded our expectations. She is amazing and she even sang to us due to the fact that it was our anniversary. We were blown away with the service overall. We will be back again for sure. It may become our go to restaurant. Thank you Ambrosia! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. read more

While staying in Rosemary Beach, one Saturday night we ventured a bit inland looking for a nice steak dinner. Reserved ahead, though it wasn't particularly busy. Ambrosia is clearly new, and very attractive. There was parking nearby, but it was odd, we had to either walk on the street or through landscaping to get between car and restaurant. Wife loved her dirty martini with No 3 gin. I had the sazerac and it was also quite nice. Started with angel eggs, at the wait persons recommendation. Very crunchy large shrimp on top of deviled eggs. It looked like pick up food, but was actually best to tackle with fork and knife. The crunch of the shrimp makes the dish. The lobster bisque was rich and tasty, with generous perfect little chunks of lobster. Tried the zabuton steak. It was very thin, I'd ordered medium rare, so it was just given a quick sear. It was described as "immensely" marbled, and indeed it was so rich I found it off putting and didn't finish. I'm someone who really enjoys wagyu, and prefers rich specialty cuts like ribeye caps, so it's saying a lot when I think it's too rich. Wife liked her filet, and I'd stick with a ribeye next time. Side of loaded mashed potato was good and cheesy. Shishitos were simply sauteed, a little overcooked, but ok. Sides are easily large enough for a table of 4. Wait staff were friendly, helpful, and efficient. I expect we'll return on our next Rosemary Beach visit. Probably even have a better dinner now knowing a bit more of what to expect. read more
