    Dessert brownie

    The food was absolutely delicious and felt authentic, the burata caprese was SO GOOD. Lobster Ravioli was bomb. All the plates were empty. Service was very good, atmosphere was pleasant. Me and my family really enjoyed it - we will be back!

    Grouper
    Dar Z.

    Excellent dining experience. Great service and food was outstanding. Loved the ahi tuna appetizer and commelfo salad was very good. Split the grouper with risotto and the prime ribeye steak. Both were outstanding and everybody else in our group loved their meal

    I really wanted to give this a 5 star review but I just don't think it lives up to the 5 star hype. If you get one thing from here you HAVE to get the coconut shrimp. It was 10/10 and I wish I would have just gotten another order for my dinner! I got the prosciutto wrapped chicken and I am not sure what it was but something was just way to overpowering in season. I loved the mashed potatoes. They were definitely homemade and tasted incredible. I would give the meal a 7/10. My boyfriend got the lobster pasta and it was very good! 8/10! The atmosphere was nice. Dressy but not too fancy. The drinks were amazing! Just not crazy about some of the foods! I would give it another try! Domicy was a great server!

    Porcini Mushroom Ravioli
    Madison K.

    5 stars because the porcini mushroom ravioli was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. I went with a big party and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. I sampled a lot, including risotto, grouper, osso bucco, calamari (they served it with fried banana peppers as well, which is great! My southern friends were not used to that but loved it), coconut shrimp, and the lobster ravioli. Everything tasted great. The mushroom ravioli was so delicious. I can't stop thinking about it. The only thing that could be done to improve the dish would be to include more than 3 of those delicious micro grape tomatoes or whatever they were. Those paired with a bite of that ravioli was pure heaven. The atmosphere was also great; it felt very upscale, especially given that it's located in a strip mall. It was dim, they had those cute metal lights on the table, it was well decorated, no complaints in that department. If you were celebrating a birthday, they'd play a birthday song over the speakers and bring out a fudgy cake with a sparkler. They'd play Chapel of Love for the bachelorette parties, too. Love that! Now, for the negatives. I should take a star off for the service- but the food was too good warrant that. Service was incredibly slow - one of our appetizers arrived way later than the others, a beer took forever to get to the table, and the servers were simply not attentive when any of our group members needed them. And for the price of the food- which is high- they need to have only the finest quality of service. Because the food is already there!

    Mushroom ravioli and carrots

    Fantastic experience the food was great felt very high-end Bean bathrooms. I had the mushroom ravioli. My husband had the steak filet mignon. Our server was Ivan and he was amazing! Overall, the serving staff collectively worked as a group and took very good care of us. My only critique is the three disco balls seem out of place. Everything is very classy here and those come across a little cheap.

    Yummy, yummy beet salad with shrimp.

    Delightful dinner. The food items we tried were creatively outstanding. The service was super. The environment was lovely...but the two big TVs with sports were out of place to me.

    I've been to this restaurant a couple times and let me just say, they are consistent and don't disappoint. Each time I come, I'm met with attentive and swift service. The ambiance is exceptional, especially for this area (which is saturated with trendy, quick beach dining options that often lack flavor). Every dish I've eaten here is delightful to the palette... the croissant toast is made from scratch as well as many of their other delicious dishes. I come here frequently, and you should, too! Enjoy?

    Birthday brownie w/ fruit
    Angela P.

    I had made reservations for this dinner a week in advance. When we arrived we were the only ones in the whole place, which worried me a little bit as this was for our anniversary and my birthday. It's not like it was early, as it was 6pm but it was a Sunday and "off season" for Destin as a whole. However, Dinner ended up being amazing! I started with the espresso martini. Just perfect! For an app we ordered the bruschetta. I knew before I went what I wanted so I ordered the seafood pasta with squid noodles. I had never had squid noodles but they were good! My husband ordered the salmon pasta which also looked perfect and he said it was great. Before dinner had started our waitress asked if we were celebrating anything. We did tell her my birthday! When desert time came I did say I didn't want anything but she ended up bringing out a complimentary brownie and fruit. They played the happy birthday song over the speakers which I felt was perfect because usually I get embarrassed when everyone gathers around us and sings to me. It was nice that it was just her, she put the dessert down, lit the candle and I blew it out without people singing and clapping and making a scene. Thank you for making my birthday dinner so special!

    Prosciutto Wrapped Stuffed Chicken
    Allison W.

    Wow! Speechless. No words can describe how good this was. From the ambience to the food it was a sensational experience. My boyfriend and I had our Valentine's Day dinner here, and they truly made our experience one to remember. There was live music, candle light dinner and they had the cutest Valentine's Day decor. It was a busy night with the holiday, but the wait staff were extremely kindhearted, professional, and accommodating despite the busyness. 10/10 experience I wish there were 6 stars.

    Birthday dessert
    Stevie K.

    Came here for my birthday with family (party of 11- highly recommend reservations for a larger party). They have the cutest indoor and outdoor areas, the decor is unique and classy, and is appeasing to the eye. The service was impeccable, the drinks were covered in delicious details, and the food was sooooooo good!!! Highly recommend to check this place out when you're in the area! You won't be disappointed.

    The only food we received, our drinks
    Deanna S.

    I truly wish this review was about a great experience, but unfortunately, our recent visit to Commelfo was anything but. A group of African American influencers and I made a reservation, only to arrive and be told that the restaurant *doesn't take reservations*. We were surprised but agreed to wait the 45 minutes. Once seated, we ordered drinks and began recording content, sharing our experience in real-time--some of which the restaurant themselves reposted to their social media. However, things quickly went downhill. We waited over **two hours** and never received our food. Other tables that were seated *after* us--including a large party of 15+--received both their appetizers and full meals while we continued to wait. When we inquired multiple times, we were told repeatedly that our food would be ready in "10 minutes." It never came. The communication was poor and frustrating. One staff member claimed to be the manager, then denied it. When I asked for the owner's information, I was met with resistance and sarcasm--only receiving a business card after unnecessary back-and-forth. To be clear: only two of us ordered steak, yet we were told our wait was due to "steak taking longer." Meanwhile, others with steak were being served well ahead of us. Ultimately, we left--hungry and disappointed. We only paid for our drinks (which we shouldn't have had to), and left to find food elsewhere. A follow-up voicemail from the founder of our influencer agency was ignored. To make matters worse, several of us were *blocked* by the restaurant after leaving honest reviews. It's hard not to notice that we were the only African Americans in the restaurant that night--and also the only ones whose meals never arrived. As content creators who came to support local businesses, this was a disheartening and unprofessional experience. We gave Commelfo the benefit of the doubt at every step, but they failed us completely. We hope this review helps others make informed decisions before dining here.

    Fish Tacos

    We went here Saturday for lunch had the fish tacos others had the coconut shrimp everything was good

    Mushroom gyoza
    Stephanie A.

    The staff here are severely lacking. Downright rude, not very good at their jobs, and not accommodating at all. Walked in with a party of 11 with a reservation and a record of a conversation with the manager about said reservation. The hosts claimed they didn't have our reservation and they couldn't accommodate us, while the restaurant was 30% full - they had plenty of space for us. They stormed away and put some tables together without really telling us what they were doing. Then came and said to us "you are really lucky to be here." LOL! I couldn't believe this whole interaction. Finally seated, our server, Nellie, was nice enough but asked us how we'd like to do our checks. We said separate, and she said "that's not possible. I'll do checks of 2 people." Thereby forcing us to pair up with the person next to us for our checks..? Just really odd and screams lazy to me. The last service thing I will note is that nobody came around to clear empty plates or glasses. We had a table full of empty drink glasses and plates which is just sloppy. The saving grace is the food, truly this place does have good food which is why I'm sure they are still in business. The grouper and lobster ravioli in particular were great. Good wines and cocktails too. From the outside the decor looks a little sketch but it's pretty nice on the inside, cute chairs and decor. A little campy with the fall decorations and TVs but overall nice ambiance.

    Are there any gluten free options?

    I am sure you can bring a few things with you. They will Plate it.

    Definitely making a reservation. What is the difference between the main and standard dining?

    Honestly, I'm guessing, but main I assume is the main dining room and standard is probably bar area (they have booths). They also have a nice outdoor area. Hope this helps!

    Do you have a corkage fee?

    I do not know, but we thought the wine list was good and prices were not bad either.

They also have lots of fun tropical adult beverages and they have a bar out front so if you do have to wait for a table, you do not have to wait for a drink! Our server took care of our party of 8-4 kids and 4 adults--masterfully, never getting flustered by my screaming toddler or our many and varied requests. Great job to him. Also the kids meals are served on a frisbee you can take home--a fun little souvenir. Like I said, this place is a classic and a must go at least once while in the area. The coconut cake is also delicious!

I ended up ordering the quesadilla and my partner ordered a combination plate. Her combination plate had a tamale that she didn't want so I took it.
