After adding the protein, it was a little pricy, but I was really impressed with how it turned out! Although there was a long wait for the salad, the waiter was keen in giving updates and asked if there was anything he could do for us. He also didn't judge me for ordering a salad over some traditional eggs for breakfast! Once I got the salad, I ran a full inspection. The leaves were very fresh, chicken was cooked well, and there were anchovies! True Caesar! Overall, my girlfriend and I were very impressed with the meals we got there while staying over our two day staycation. Would recommend!

Service sucked. Staff did not do well with remembering things or working efficiently to help guest…read moreget in and out and to ensure staff wasn't wasting time. I ate breakfast here and I wish I didn't. The food was okay but the staff!!!! The table beside me asked someone who was cleaning tables to get the waitress. She cleaned and set 2 tables before notifying staff. Most staff weren't rude they were just oblivious. I say most because the greeter started my brunch on the wrong foot as she had to see if there was room for me after I explained I had a reservation. She also greeted guest who came behind me before getting to me. They she fully got them settled before telling me she will need to see if a table is ready. There are no breakfast items on the kids menu for brunch. The waiter provided an explanation/solution so confusing she lost 4 adults across 2 tables. I needed a coffee refill and tried to waive down 2 waitress unsuccessfully while mines served others coffee. My table needed a straw. We waited 10 mins as the waitress served others, forgot, bought us food, was reminded, served others again and eventually came over with a straw. It took 20 minutes to cash out. We needed to go items and it took forever to get the check, containers and a bag. Anyhow there is a small cafe connected to restaurant but it has its own billing and serving area. Just go there. The hotel also doesn't have a fridge. They have a cooler so don't bother with leftovers as they will spoil.

The prices for lunch were reasonable, and the dinner prices were on the pricey side. There were only a few tables being served for lunch, but then dinner time, the place was much busier. Service was overall good, but we waited a considerable amount of time at dinner for our drinks. The dinner drinks were all specials, inventive, and expensive. All of the dishes we ordered were all done extremely well. Excellent preparation, well seasoned, the right temps, and good portions. Dinner came we a couple baskets of bread, fresh and warm, with a specialty butter. The servers were attentive, personal, patient and helpful. We would come back in the future.

On any given day, I would have passed right by not knowing about the fun that awaited me. Salty Duck is not only a place to grab a beer with friends.

Next time I visit the area, I will definitely be back.

An Anniversary Dinner We Will Never Forget!…read more We visited Marina Cafe in Destin, Florida, to continue celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, and from the moment we arrived, they made us feel special. We were greeted with a warm, "Happy 25th Anniversary!" and the wonderful experience continued throughout the entire evening. The entire staff was magnificent! Exemplary service--friendly, accommodating, flexible, attentive, and, most importantly, genuinely kind. Now, let's talk about the food! We have NEVER tasted a well-done pork chop that was so tender and absolutely delicious! The shrimp and grits were perfectly seasoned, and the espresso sorbet was spot-on--unique, flavorful, and fun! Our Flirty Martini and Chocolate Martini were mixed perfectly. And then there was Robin, our excellent waitress. I do not even want to call her our waitress--I am calling her our concierge for the evening! She went above and beyond to make our anniversary celebration memorable. She even took us outside and took multiple pictures of us, shared such kind words, and made us feel truly celebrated. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Marina Cafe! We woke up the next morning still talking about you good folks at Marina Cafe off the harbor in Destin! You have officially become our place to dine every time we return to Destin! The ambiance was romantic and intimate! Until next time! Dezireé Mattocks

They also have an outdoor screened patio with comfortable seating. I was interested in trying the sweeter Connecticut "Luke Bryan" cigar; however, they sold me the wrong cigar, which was quite disappointing. I ended up spending $35 on a smoke that I didn't enjoy. When I mentioned to the staff that I had received the wrong cigar, she apologized but did not offer to rectify the situation. Additionally, there is inconsistency in their pricing: the website price is $32 per stick, while in the store, it's $35. https://shorethingcigars.com/collections/stc-all-products/products/luke-bryan-exclusive-davidoff-grand-robusto

We had the filet, surf & turf, and bang bang shrimp, and everything was impeccable! The restaurant itself is snazzy and a little upscale, but still felt welcoming and comfortable for everyone. There were families with kids enjoying dinner and even hanging around for some of the piano entertainment. The large bar area and plenty of tables made it a great setup. The Dueling Pianos show was so much fun and made for a really entertaining night out. The entire staff was polite, the bathrooms were clean, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Definitely a great place for dinner, drinks, and a fun night out. We'll be back!

Within five minutes of walking in we were greeted by the hostess, another person whom I believe was a manager or owner and the bartender. There was an INCREDIBLE band playing, Still Standing Elton John Tribute Band and the place was packed. We luckily found two seats at the bar. Excellent viewing from pretty much anywhere and the acoustics are also excellent. We really were blown away at the quality of the performance. We ordered two of their strawberry spring mix salads which were fresh, and topped them with protein. We also got the spring rolls and calamari. Both were average maybe a little too fried. They have many entrees to choose from and judging by the plates going past they looked good. Cocktails were excellent! I ordered the French 75 and asked the bartender, Ryan to make it less sweet. It was perfect! He was super friendly and personable. We felt right at home and you can tell people are repeat customers which speaks for itself. Whether you are looking for a place with great live entertainment, a cocktail lounge, a dinner and drinks venue you'll find it here. Great for a date night, girls night out, celebrations or just a fun time! When in Fort Walton Beach we will definitely be returning!!
