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!

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...

Crab cake - it's ok
Janine R.

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.

Angel eggs + Hawaiian sweet rolls
Lorrie-Ann R.

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.

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.

It was very very nice..went to Panama for a girls weekend to celebrate a birthday. The ambiance was warm and inviting. I wish i could remember our servers name but i will post a video with her singing. She was absolutely amazing. There was no stone unturned to ensure we enjoyed our experience. The food was great our drinks were amazing. If i didn't say it earlier every person we came in contact with the greeters, hostess, manager was friendly and it made my experience there more rewarding.

Taste of 30-A
Chad M.

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.

Mashed potatoes
Marcus M.

My wife and I went here on our honeymoon and the Food, service and atmosphere where all great. We both got filet mignon with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese and everything we had was delicious. One of the best places to eat in 30A Also we tried the She crab soup and got a complementary dessert of crème brûlée. Both were excellent! I highly recommend Ambrosia.

Seafood trio

Excellent service and food! Highly recommend! The truffle risotto was the best I've ever had and the scallops were cooked to perfection! The grouper in the seafood trio was the favorite! Errin was our server - he was very attentive and recs were spot on!

Coconut cream pie
Sara T.

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!

Crab Stuffed Flounder
Kristie W.

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.

Absolutely phenomenal experience! Maggie is out-of-this-world and truly made our experience extra…read morespecial. We agreed it wouldn't have been the same without her! She feels like a familiar old friend to us. The restaurant is beautiful and cozy. We loved sitting in the bar area. We ordered: -Bread Candle, 10/10 super yummy and well seasoned. -Ceviche, 20/10 Fresh and delicious -Fried Deviled Eggs, 9/10. Creative and tasty -Red Snapper entree, 10/10 best ever! The crust is to die for. Maggie made an amazing suggestion to sub truffle potatoes instead of fingerling which totally made the meal -Rock Shrimp Pasta - 10/10 for me. This was outstanding, eat it fast as the sauce can separate but amazing flavor -Carrot Cake - 8/10. CC isn't my fave but even I can appreciate its deliciousness A must experience when in Rosemary, and request Maggie if you can!

So good. Few things- you can book via Open Table for reservations but they require a credit card…read more Second, it's 18+ after 2:30 pm. We lucked out that they let us come with our two adult sons and one slightly younger since he was with his parents. Appetizers: ceviches, blackened crab legs, and butter candle. All were fantastic. Great flavor. Mains: I had the red snapper and took the server's recommendation to swap the fingerling potatoes for the truffled mashed potatoes. (Lighting in the picture isn't great, but it was divine.) My husband & one son had the filet, another had the pasta, and the last one had the pork chop. All were really good. Dessert: we sampled the chocolate torte, crème brûlée, and the key lime pie. All were good, but not standouts on their own.

While waiting, we sat at the bar. I ordered a Paloma. It was tasty and the presentation was nice. However, we saw a cockroach in the straw container on the bar. We told the bar tender and she threw half the straws away. We told her she needed to toss all of them and she did. I couldn't finish my drink after that. The wait was very long. On the phone they told us it would be 20-30 minutes. It was 2 hours. They told us the reason was because another table was overstaying, which didn't make a lot of sense. Our waitress was rude. She was annoyed we wanted separate checks and was very curt. All of us were put off by her attitude. For appetizers, we got the edamame hummus, edamame, Brussels sprouts, and shrimp lettuce wraps. The edamame hummus was weird. It didn't have a ton of flavor and the wasabi peas and ginger on top were just strange. The Brussels sprouts and shrimp wraps were good. The shrimp wrap was probably our favorite app. For my entree, I got Sandor's ravioli. It was good, but not hot. The ravioli was handmade and very cheesy. The fish was perfectly blackened. Unfortunately our bride's steak was undercooked and she didn't want to send it back after the long wait and waitress attitude. I got the key lime pie to go and it took forever to get it. We had to ask another server to get it. It was amazing, but not worth the hold up after an already negative experience. We let the manager know about our experience and while they were very apologetic and offered us a discount, our experience was what it was and we had already paid. I appreciate their acknowledgment and offer to make it right.

We came here for dinner and specifically tried to make it in time for happy hour. It was a Monday…read morenight and without a reservation, we were able to get in around 6:30pm. Happy hour is from 4-7 and they have designated seating for it, so you must get that seating to take advantage of the happy hour. Parking was easy in this busy shopping senter and I think I got lucky with a close spot. We were seated on the heated and covered outdoor patio. It was pleasant and the place had lots of energy. We started with the escargot, and when it came out, it did not have any snails in it, just the juice so we had to send it back. For my entree, I got the steak frites, which as the menu states, is a petite filet, about 4 ounces I would say. The steak was good, the sauce was a bit light, and the frites were great! The service was also good and we enjoyed our time here.

The dessert was magnificent! I'd highly recommend the sampler dessert plate. They didn't have prime…read morerib the night we went, which was disappointing because it's kind of the reason we went. In the past, it's been really good. I ordered the gumbo--it was super salty. The waitress kept referring to "Chef this" and "Chef that." When I told her the uneaten dish was way too salty, she stated that Chef is from Louisiana and has his own recipes. ZERO EFFORT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I didn't know what to do with that. My husband and son attempted to eat it but declined--it was too salty. Having lived in Louisiana for a few years ... This was nobody's recipe. Anyway, the rest of the table ordered fish dishes and enjoyed them!

First visit and we'll definitely be back…read more This was our first time at Shades Bar & Grill, and it was a great experience. We went with a group of seven and everything from the atmosphere to the food made it a really fun night out. The location and vibe are fantastic -- lively but relaxed, the kind of place where you can easily settle in with friends and enjoy a good meal. We started with appetizers for the table: calamari, onion rings, and volcano shrimp. All three disappeared quickly. The calamari was really good and normally comes served over jalapeños, but since I don't eat them the kitchen kindly put them on the side for us. The onion rings were fantastic, and the volcano shrimp had a little heat (which the spice lovers at the table really liked). For dinner I had the hibachi steak over fried rice with yum-yum sauce, cooked medium. It was excellent -- tender, flavorful, and a generous portion. Others in our group ordered the same dish and loved it as well. The chicken nachos were huge (normally an appetizer but easily a full meal) with really tasty queso that had a bit of spice. The burger and flatbreads at the table also got great reviews. We also tried the chocolate dessert bomb at the end (not sure of the exact name), and it was fantastic -- chocolate mousse and cake inside a chocolate shell with whipped cream. Definitely worth sharing. The drinks were great, the service was friendly, and the whole place had a welcoming feel. One thing we really appreciated as well: they offer a military discount, which was a nice touch. We're locals and this was our first visit, but it definitely won't be our last. Highly recommend if you're in the Panama City Beach / 30A area.
