Harbor Docks was, without a doubt, one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment I walked in, I knew I had made a terrible mistake. The heat inside was palpable--around 80 degrees with no relief in sight. How is it acceptable to make guests suffer through unbearable conditions while trying to enjoy a meal? But the discomfort didn't stop there. The service was abysmally slow. I've seen glaciers move faster than our server. It took ages just to get a simple drink order, and the wait for food was downright painful. When the dishes finally arrived--well, most of them, anyway--we quickly realized they had forgotten some of the items we ordered. After reminding them, it took even longer for the missing items to appear. At that point, the frustration was palpable. To add insult to injury, the food was mediocre at best--definitely not worth the absurdly high prices they're charging. You'd think with prices like that, they'd put some effort into flavor or presentation, but apparently not. Even the water tasted off, almost as if they couldn't be bothered to install a basic reverse osmosis machine. For a restaurant that charges a premium, I expected better quality even in the simplest aspects. And don't get me started on the staff. Rude, inattentive, and completely uninterested in whether customers were satisfied or even slightly comfortable. I felt like a nuisance rather than a paying guest. Harbor Docks was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. Save your money, your time, and your sanity--go literally anywhere else. This place is a complete joke. read more

Hello, let me start by saying I love Harbor docks. I think Charles Morgan is a wonderful person and I thoroughly enjoy this restaurant. My only issue is the last time I went in with my service dog I was asked to show proof. I am a 27 year combat disabled veteran that retired from Hurlburt field. I recently acquired a service dog to assist me with my PTSD and anxiety and has been a life changer for me. If you would simply go to the ADA website and review information about service dogs you would see that they are not required to show any paperwork whatsoever. There is no card required and there is no vest or identification required. People that do so are either fraudulently representing their animal as a service dog or simply doing it as a courtesy for the establishment. Furthermore requesting any identification and or paperwork is illegal and could lead to a lawsuit under the ADA. You will see on the website there are only two questions that an establishment can ask a person about their service animal. The first, is this a service animal? The second, what is this animal trained to do? That's it, anything more is illegal. My recommendation is to review the ADA website about service animals and educate your staff so that confrontations like I experienced do not happen again. Thank you MSgt (ret) Ryan Stanhope read more

In Summary - Be ware of the Ladies Night deal, which only works if you sit outdoor dining area. My family and I had our vacation in Destin, FL this year. We decided to try Harbor Docks because it has seafood, sushi, and other dishes for non-sushi lovers. We went there on Thursday evening, which is Ladies Night when the restaurant offers $2.00 off for all sushi rolls for the whole table and 1/2 price drink for the ladies. However, the restaurant website nor the host let us know the Ladies Night deal is only valid if you eat in the outdoor area, not the main dining area. We did not find out the restriction of the deal until we sat down in the main dining room although we could have sat outdoor. Moreover, you can only order sushi or apetizers, not entrees, in the outdoor area. By not provide full details of the deal on the website, I found the restaurant either misleading or trying a bait-and-switch strategy. Instead of the fresh sushi they should promote to get customers, they are using a shady tactics that makes the quick buck but will bite their ass in the long run My mother taught me "If you don't have any nice thing to say, don't say it". I usually write feedback on great restaurants. But this time I could not help sharing the terrible business of this place read more

Dear Harbor Docks, The family, friends and guests that traveled hundreds of miles to celebrate with Racheal Davis and Spencer Davis on their wedding day would like you to know that we are absolutely appalled at the service we received at your restaurant. In addition to the terrible food that was served to us your staff was unkind and at times just rude. After speaking with management about our grievances, it was evident that you really just didn't care about what we had to say and weren't willing to do anything to make things right. Know that we will share this experience with our family, friends, neighbors, coworkers and anyone else we may encounter that may be planning a trip to Destin, FL and we will make sure that they know to steer clear of Harbor Docks! read more

An establishment where YOU are not welcome if support like Trump. Do not patron this business if you are tolerant, because u would not trust the food coming out of the kitchen. Its not okay to kick someone out if a restaurant because they aren't a liberal. I understand if someone is being rude, but this is not the case. Not the right way to treat a customer. I won't be back when I visit Destin again. Being a military town, I suggest others do the same and leave this establishment behind. Learn something. It's called RESPECT! read more

We absolutely loved Harbor Docks! The sushi was out of this world -- fresh, flavorful, and worth every minute of the wait. While we waited for a table outside by the water, the bartender took great care of us with top-notch service and perfectly made drinks. The food and service were so good that we couldn't resist coming back a second time during our stay! If you're anywhere near the area, don't miss this place -- amazing sushi, great vibes, and unbeatable harbor views. read more

I've been coming to Destin for years and there truly is no better place in this little beach town to go than Harbor Docks. From the moment you walk in, you can tell it's a locally owned operation with long time employees working throughout the restaurant. Our server was friendly, was very knowledgeable about the seafood (she said they have their own seafood market downstairs, no wonder the seafood is so good). We look forward to visiting every year. read more

Dylan is a great server but don't plan on going here after 9pm if you plan to order sushi. the sushi bar was "wrapped up" so they told us to choose something else from the menu. ordered the fried green tomatoes and scampi dip as apps, both were meh. got the gumbo, seafood pasta special and paneed chicken as entrees and also would never eat them again. worst meal we have had in destin in the past week, do not go here read more

I was hoping for an enjoyable meal whioe visiting family in Florida recently, and someone recommended we try Harbor Docks. Unfortunately for me, I found both the meal and service to be sub-par. I've been to Thighland and know what Pad Thai is supposed to taste like, but that's not what they are serving at Harbor Docks. Why was it so greasy? I won't be stopping here next time I'm in Destin, that's for certain. read more

Hello went to dinner with family and was not pleased. The seafood was horrible and did not taste fresh at all. The service at bar area was some of the worst I have ever experienced rude and no attentive. I won't be back and would not recommend to anyone. My dish was salmon and it was overcooked and bland. Also bathrooms filthy Oh also don't mention Trump this place has serious Derangement syndrome read more

Food was so so, the service was meh, and my god, they are full on pants on head politically stupid. So much so they throw their agenda into the food, which really spoils it. I heard a lot of racism from the staff as well, they really dont like black people there, and frequent usage of a number of old racist terms makes me never want to go back. One guy had a Biden thong on, he was the main culprit. read more

If you are in search of vegan options & traveling with people who are looking for delicious seafood, I would recommend Harbor Docks. They have a Harbor Salad (lettuce, mandarin oranges, chopped almonds, and Italian vinaigrette) that is a pretty tasty option for a vegan, and my fellow seafood-eating companions raved about their meals. Our waiter, Bruce, was also very nice and attentive. read more

My friend Jamal (a local) took me here when I visited. The food was okay if you like greasy garbage. We were truly shocked at the sub-par service. The server was NOT professional. We felt like we were bothering her and she was more interested in keeping up with her social media than taking care of her customers. We WILL NOT BE BACK!! read more

If you ride a motorcycle beware. Not really welcome at all. 2 people on a bike can't take a parking spot but a car with 1 person can. What B/S. I would have dropped some money on a good meal for me and my wife but instead I went to Bo Shamps. Much better food and service. I will never be back!! read more

Maybe because I look like me I haven't experienced this, but I know of a middle eastern man who was kicked out of this restaurant just recently. Was also apparently insulted for leaving a 20% tip (even after having been booted). If you are a minority, you may want to avoid it. read more

We came all the way from San Diego California for great food, warm staff and a beautiful view. The blackened Grouper is the best dish on earth! And the house salad is so refreshing with toasted almonds and mandarin oranges. Love this place and have for 30 years! read more

So this place just denied service to a person, while he already had his food served. Shocked? The staff overheard what the person was discussing, with another patron, came to him and boxed the food. Wow ha? Avoid this place like a plague read more

I have been to Harbor Docks many times. It's probably one of the few places left in Destin that seems authentic and not too touristy. The sushi is to die for. View is great as well. Highly recommend trying on your next visit to Destin. read more

I will never patronize this disgusting excuse for a business. Refusing to serve someone based on political support is un American and illegal. This restaurant has no business remaining open. Do not patronize. read more
