Went to have sushi here. This was recommended by our tiki boat driver. Sushi is pricey, but expect high prices in Destin. I did start off with the fried green tomatoes. They were delicious. I didn't even want to share with my friends. I got the volcano roll. It came with warm crab salad on top. It looked small when it came to our table, but it was definitely filling. They do have a sushi bar. There's plenty of seating. We were told it was a 30 minute wait, but we were seated pretty quickly. Our waiter was very nice. They had sports on the TV. The back faces the water. I would return again.

Two rolls. One fell apart as we tried to pick it up. Just blah.

We went for sushi bc I saw tons of tiktok reviews on it raving. we started with miso soup and ugh. It was disgusting. Their sushi was just blah. It tasted like something I'd get ANYWHERE but the beach. The service sucked as well and we went when it wasn't busy. We ended up going to Zen later which is SO GOOD and fresh and great service. Maybe the seafood at Harbor Docks is worth 5 stars. Idk bc I've no desire to go back.

My husband ordered the blackened catch of the day (red snapper) which was very tasty and came out quickly. I ordered sushi and it took so long for it to come out. On top of that, the sushi was just average. I really regretted ordering it and should've just ordered a hot dish. On the bright side, we got a table with a clear view of the Destin Harbor.

Tuna dip

The food was so good! The sushi was fresh and well made. The tuna dip appetizer was amazing, as well as the bread pudding. Everyone else in my group got seafood and loved it - especially the bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp!

It's nice to sit on a covered deck while eating fresh fried shrimp. The service was good.

Came here for lunch and it was a nice place off the ocean. Our waiter Autumn was the best. She handled our group of 12 with ease. The gumbo got rave reviews. I ordered the spicy grouper club. The fish was seasoned well and the slaw on it was good, but it was just so much of it and it made the sandwich bread soggy and messy to eat. Staff was great and would recommend.

Best fried shrimp basket in the area. Welcoming staff and great tasing food. It was worth the wait standing in line. We will definitely visit each year when we come back. We loved sitting on the dock watching the fireworks from Ft. Walton Best fried shrimp basket in the area. Welcoming staff and great tasing food. It was worth the wait standing in line.

3.5 if it was an option but I will help them out. The atmosphere on the water is amazing. The fish is fresh, we went the sushi route. The quality and presentation of the sushi and toppings are sub par. The appetizers are ok, nothing was incredible. The service was hit or miss we got our food and never saw anyone again till they brought a check.

Server explained menu options in detail (out of snapper at 730) and options were offered. Food excellent

Catch of the Day - Blackened sword fish, cheesy grits, and hush puppies

4.5/5 Experience: Harbor Docks has a great seaside view and great food. The tuna dip was really fun! The chips were on the thicker side and seasoned very well. The pickled veggies helped balance the tuna dip, making it very refreshing to enjoy! I'm not a huge fan of grits, but the cheese they added made it way tastier than others I've tried. The swordfish was a little zingy with a good peppery taste. And while the sushi portion was on the smaller side for the price and could have been wrapped a little better (bottom part opened upon picking it up), the zoo roll was very fresh and the flavors went well together! The only thing I'd skip were the hush puppies since they didn't have much going for it other than it being sweet fried dough (probably needs onions). I can't comment about food service times too much as we came on a holiday weekend, but the servers were really nice and fairly attentive. I recommend!

Surf and Turf

We were sat immediately which was great! We went on Thursday so it was $2 off sushi. The sushi was fantastic, I ordered the Crunchy Shrimp Roll. My husband got the surf and turf. He did feel like the crab over powered the shrimp. Service was a little on the slow side, we were there over 2 hours. Our waitress was Francesca. The other waitresses in the area visited their tables much more frequently than she did. But I still wouldn't call it bad service. The tables are very small so it's hard to fit all your food and drinks on the table. But it was a decent meal.

Catch of the day and surf & turf

This place is SO RIDICULOUSLY GOOD!!!! And that's coming from a Louisiana girl that is used to seasoning/salt overload and has very high expectations. They have something for everyone -- sushi, chicken, steak, fried seafood. The options are endless!! We had the tuna poke nachos appetizer -- literally the best thing I've ever eaten in my entire life. The tuna was so fresh, wontons so crispy, sauce spicy and delicious. I had the surf & turf, 12/10. Steak cooked perfectly, very tender and flavorful. My boyfriend had the catch of the day (swordfish) and he loved it!! Our drinks were very strong and good. Our server was amazing, very personable and on top of it despite it being very busy!!! We also had an approximate wait of 20 minutes which turned out to be about 2. Looking back now, I'd wait hours if I had to!!! Overall 15/10 rating. I WILL be returning any time I'm in the area! Only complaint is how far away from home it is, ha! Thank you, Harbor Docks, for an amazing last night!!!

Great local seafood restaurant. The only bad thing about this restaurant is that it takes some time to be seated. Even if it's not crowded.

Do they have a happy hour?

Do they not have breakfast anymore?

They open at 11 AM for your breakfast.

What is the "least busy night", or does such a thing exist? I have a compromised immune system and am trying to find the best night to go where I will not have a long wait with lots of people since they do not take reservations.

full disclosure: i've lived in the area for 6 years, have always heard about domo izakaya being the…read morespot to get sushi, but admittedly never went until recently. i was in the destin area and finally decided to drop by on the way home. WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO COME HERE?! and because i have so much time to make up for, i came again less than two weeks later and brought my daughter so she could experience the amazingness. it's a small restaurant like the cafe in FWB, but there's no wait! the staff and service is great!! first time i ordered the domo chashu black ramen with spice and the ragin godzilla roll. it was so much food for me i had to take it home. the flavor in the broth with the subtle spice was just incredible. and the chashu pork was literally out of this world good. the way it was seared gave it such a depth of flavor that isn't common with that kind of pork in ramen. at least not anywhere i've been. the sushi roll was one of my favorites ive ever had. i brought my kid here a week later because i wanted AND NEEDED that ramen again. it might've been even better the second time. idk. i finished it all because i didn't get a roll with it. my daughter got the techno roll and was in sushi heaven. for the record, she's 8 yrs old. techno roll is a cucumber roll with raw fish, roe, and micro greens, and she ate almost the entire thing minus a couple pieces. she loved it. i'm raising a foodie so don't underestimate her taste buds. you need to come here for GREAT sushi and ramen when in the Destin area. i'm already drooling thinking about coming back for the ramen.

We already had an idea of things we wanted to try, but his infectious enthusiasm has us returning to try his favorites in the next couple of days. Things we loved, the Amazonia drink, Truffle Honey Butter, Oysters, Grouper, Linguini ai Fruitti di Mare, and the Limoncello Cheesecake. All of these things were fabulous, but the service and attention to detail from Milan was what stood out. Headed back for the Blue crab fritters and Henderson butter cake....he swears on his job, this dessert is life changing...we shall see. UPDATE: We went back for another Amazonia and THE HENDERSON BUTTER CAKE. And now we spent the rest of the night researching techniques and recipes on how we can execute this dessert back home. When we consider the next place to go for a quick weekend get away, I have a feeling this cake will pull us back to Destin. Milan definitely keeps his job, Thank you for the amazing service and we hope to see you next time.

We started with the calamari and it was mildly overcooked but the portion size was very large. My husband had the Butter Poached Blue Crab Natale and it was very good. I had the Linguine ai Frutti di Mare; most of the seafood was mildly overcooked and the dish overall was mildly bland (that's fine because I can just add salt) but the amount of seafood was decent. We had the Henderson Butter Cake and it was warm (almost too hot in the middle) and very enjoyable. In terms of ambience, it gives off classy resort vibes but most people were mostly in casual dress here. Side note, they don't do sushi/rolls here, you have to go to the Rooftop Bar also located in the Henderson Resort if you want that. Overall, pricy but a decent amount of food. Is it one of the best Italian/american places? No, but it's convenient if you're staying at the hotel and want a nice white table cloth restaurant.
