Donniell R.

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!

Croissants breakfast sandwich with Ceasar salad
Sharday J.

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?

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.

Baked Brie appetizer & lychee martini

My husband and I went for a date night while on vacation. Decor is very nice and the food was delicious! We started with the baked Brie appetizer which is something I normally wouldn't order but it was very good. Caesar salad is pretty standard with the addition of tomatoes, I liked the dressing. I ordered the filet -medium-, it was a tiny bit under but not enough to complain about. I still enjoyed it, my husband absolutely loved it. He ordered the mushroom ravioli and loved that as well. Only issue was service was a bit slow, the kitchen lost our ticket so we were delayed there, and it seems like they needed an additional bartender. Which reminds me, the lychee martini is yummy. We will definitely go again if we come back to the area.

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!

French Toast with chantilli cream

We arrived 15 minutes prior to our reservation and were seated promptly at 11:55 for a 12:00 reservation. The hostess, wait staff were very friendly. The ambience is refreshing and peaceful along with the music, which has a European feel and not too loud to interfere with conversation. They have tables and booths; we were seated in a booth. I imbibed the start of my meal with a mimosa; they have three flavors: orange, strawberry, and peach. I chose the lobster bisque which was served hot. It is filling so you may want to share this delicious bowl of bisque. This is my third time visiting this establishment and again I was delighted with my choices. I ordered the avocado toast with a side of crab meat. I did bring my own Chalula sauce to step it up a level. The restaurant only has Tabasco. My husband and I shared the French toast which is served with a chantille cream and strawberries. It is AMAZING; however I do bring my own maple syrup. My husband ordered the easy breakfast and is always happy with his choice. I recommend this restaurant, as I have never had a bad experience here.

Fish Tacos
Kirt V.

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

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.

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.

We went for dinner and they were slow tonight possibly because of the weather. It was our first time here and we would definitely come back. Our server was very nice and attentive. The mushroom ravioli was absolutely amazing, and the grouper was grilled to perfection. Must try and you will not be disappointed.

Deidra. B.

Absolutely unacceptable experience. Our group of nine arrived at this restaurant at 11:28 AM-we waited until 1:30 PM and were never served any food. Not even an appetizer. Just drinks... and a whole lot of avoidance. During which time several other parties including a party of 17, and a party of six sat near us and were severed. We repeatedly asked to speak with a manager, but the staff dodged the request for over an hour. When we finally reached the owner by phone, he admitted he was out of town and blamed the situation on being short-staffed - even saying, "This happens every time I go out of town." That's not an explanation. That's a pattern of failure. If a business cannot function without its owner physically present, it has no business being open. Instead of offering a real apology or resolution, the owner seemed more interested in making excuses than making things right. To say this was a disappointing experience is an understatement. It was disorganized, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. If you value your time or your appetite, go somewhere else.

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.

I wish there was a location closer to where I live! For a chain restaurant (that is known more for…read morethings other than food) they have always been amazing and consistent. Coming to this location for the first time proved that streak still continues. The LUMP BLUE CRAB BISQUE - Sherry, Cream, Crushed Herb Croutons to start was fabulous. The MACADAMIA-NUT-CRUSTED SNAPPER - Hawaiian Red Sea Salt, Almond Rice, Grilled Asparagus, Wasabi Soy Beurre Blanc was just as good. Yes, something I usually pass on entirely, dessert, the key lime pie was great too. The only disappointment was the piña colada I ordered. The "bar" is set high on this one by the Marlin Bar in Orlando so I'll give them a pass. Service was very attentive and the place itself is brand new. I wish the developer would have made more parking closer to the buildings. In the off season it was nuts, coming here during peak season is going to be a challenge. One aspect they truly excel at is the live entertainment. The music is just right--loud enough for the audience to sing "Sweet Caroline," yet soft enough to allow for casual conversations at the table.

We are typically there at least three out of the seven days we stay in town. Unfortunately, after our experience on Mother's Day, we do not plan on returning. We arrived around 4:30 p.m. with a party of nine, hoping to enjoy some of the happy hour menu and pricing. We were kept waiting in the front until exactly 5:00 p.m., even though it was obvious that tables on the back deck were already available. Once seated, our server was polite and did a good job taking care of us. During conversation, we mentioned the long wait, and he explained that it is apparently "protocol" to delay seating larger parties until after 5:00 so they do not receive happy hour pricing. If that is truly company policy, I find it extremely disappointing and dishonest. We felt manipulated instead of welcomed. The food quality was also far below what we have experienced in past years. The crusted snapper that was recommended to us was terrible and had to be sent back. My grandson's burger was also very poor quality and honestly unpleasant. The only dishes our table generally agreed were decent were the squash casserole bowl and the chicken parmesan. Another disappointment was learning that bread is no longer served. For families with children, that was always something simple that helped while waiting on meals. Between the removal of those small touches, the higher prices, and the noticeable decline in food quality, the restaurant no longer feels worth returning to. I'm not writing this to get anyone in trouble. I'm writing because this restaurant used to be one of the highlights of our vacation every year, and it is frustrating to see the experience decline this much. Chris Tomlinson

We chose to sit outside, and while the service was great, the food was even better. For starters, I had the orange margarita (recommended by our waiter), and wow, it was delicious. I've never had one quite like it. For my entrée, I ordered a mix of three tacos, and each one was packed with flavor. The only downside was the number of tiny flies outside, they kept finding their way into my drink. Not sure if that's typical, but I'd probably opt to sit inside next time because of it.

We stood there for a while trying to figure out if we needed to seat ourselves or if we should wait on somebody. We were finally noticed and directed to a table.

I guess you can go wrong in some instances, but these were PERFECT! Thin, crisp, and salted. And the salsa was just right. It wasn't too spicy. 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. I can say that the tamale tasted like it came out of a can. It was not authentic at all. I can't go wrong with the quesadilla that's pretty much my go-to. She really enjoys her tacos and she said they were pretty good. Overall the food was okay.

I would say they did take advantage of us with pricing on two things we ordered. I ordered a side of plain mac and cheese and was charged $15 for it.
