She was from Bulgaria and had an accent, but she was very easy to understand. She was attentive, kind, and constantly checking on our table to make sure we had everything we needed. She kept our drinks full, brought anything we asked for promptly, and truly provided outstanding service. It was upsetting to see some people treating her poorly and blaming mistakes on the fact that she has an accent. She worked incredibly hard and did an amazing job. Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, especially someone who is clearly putting so much effort into taking care of their customers. Thank you for a wonderful meal and for having such a dedicated server on your team. She made our visit memorable, and we hope she gets the recognition she deserves.

Felt the absolute need to update this 24 hours later. I forgot to mention below that my sister,…read moreniece, and nephew all have Celiac disease and we called beforehand to ask questions about their gluten options and we were ASSURED that the kitchen staff take food allergies VERY seriously. It's been 24 hours and my sister has been sick ALL morning with an upset stomach due to the fries that she ate that we were PROMISED by the staff that they would be fried in separate grease and no cross contamination would happen. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE experience on a Saturday evening in July!!! My family and I chose to come here to celebrate my sisters 30th birthday while we were on vacation. We had a 6:30 reservation and were seated right away. Our server greeted us and took our drink orders. It took an hour and a half to get our drinks which were wrong. My parents margaritas were not frozen as requested. We placed our food orders. My sisters steak came out completely burnt. My brother in laws club sandwich came out with burnt toast. The sweet potato waffle fries and regular fries were so overcooked you couldn't even eat them. The shrimp in the seafood boil wasn't deveined and there was still shit in the shrimp. The potatoes in the boil were undercooked and the boil itself was under seasoned and bland. They tried charging me for 2 mocktails when I only had 1. My sisters salad was wrong and missing the requested shredded cheese. The server and managing intern were both very unpleasant to deal with. This place is nothing but a commercialized money trap with piss quality food and service. If you are on vacation STEER CLEAR OF DESTIN MARGARITAVILLE!!!!!

We drove 30 minutes here just to drink and hangout, but they did not let that happen. Tried kicking two different people in our group out for absolutely no reason. One was for touching there wife on the hip? And then the other for asking for a drink saying he was racist when he is literally the opposite race. Yet there were multiple couples all over eachother making out and touching under dress but that was ok to them?? I guess they just did not want our money... So rude. There was a large group of us so they would've made lots of money off of us but the security decided not to, don't come here honestly, such a waste of time. DO NOT COME HERE!!

Upon arrival, I'll be honest, I didn't expect much. SO glad I was wrong. This was one of my…read morefavorite spots while were there. And it was a welcomed break from seafood. We came here and the wonton appetizer was amazing. We had a burger, a patty melt, and I got the buffalo chicken sandwich. Our waitress was attentive, and checked on us in a reasonable amount of time. She was good with meeting our needs and bringing back items requested. The atmosphere is welcoming, the music they play is amazing and inclusive to all and the people were are all welcoming. First off, food came out piping hot, and they have these unique fries and they were amazing. This spot definitely exceeded my expectations and I will gladly return on our next visit to Destin.

The space has a cool indoor/outdoor setup, and the night we went they had live music, which made the whole place feel really lively. We sat inside but could still enjoy the music while catching some basketball games. The menu leans Mediterranean and everything looked incredible. We started with the tzatziki, shrimp wonton rolls, and potstickers. All three were great, but the shrimp wonton rolls were my favorite. For my main, I ordered the grilled shrimp pita (loaded with shrimp) with fries--definitely hit the spot. Around the table we also had burgers, a Mediterranean bowl, and pork belly tacos, and everyone loved their meals. We were so full we didn't even make it to dessert. Overall, great vibe, great food, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out--just plan on taking an Uber or Lyft since parking is limited.

Our first trip we had Cindy as our waitress upstairs and she was amazing!! Request to sit next to the waters edge. We all loved watching the boats pass back and forth. 2nd visit was just as good! Our waitress again was amazing and so sweet when our toddler was sleepy from no nap. My oldest loved the pizza rolls, while the other two loved the Mac & cheese. The grilled shrimp skewer basket was hands down the best meal we had. The hush puppies are fresh and drool worthy. Fried fish basket was just as great! Live music played, we heard it can get louder at night, but they also have a downstairs that has a bigger menu with a quieter atmosphere. We can't wait to come back!

AJ's Seafood & Oyster Bar has a fantastic location, beautiful harbor views, and delicious food…read more We were seated upstairs with a great view, and the oysters and the rest of our meal were very good. The live music was also a nice bonus and added to the atmosphere. The only downside was the service. We waited quite a while before our server came by to greet us, bring menus, and take our drink and food orders. It felt like our table had been overlooked, which was disappointing, especially for a party of six. That said, I don't think one server represents the entire restaurant. The kitchen did a great job, the food was worth the visit, and the atmosphere was beautiful. Would we come back? Absolutely. With so many great restaurants in the harbor area, we'd probably explore a few others first, but AJ's is still a solid choice for seafood, oysters, and waterfront dining.

When we planned our trip to Destin, in our research this was one of the restaurants that caught our…read moreeye. It looked like a nice, relaxing, elevated restaurant we could relax at after a day of excursions. It really wasn't that. After spending most of our days eating at the themed surf restaurants that decorate with shark heads, surfboards and tiki lights. We had hoped this would be a change, it's really not. It may not be grossly decorated with those tiki-style items, but most certainly is that same type of restaurant. It's not elegant, it's not elevated and its most certainly, not relaxing. The food was very good, the service from our waitress, Savannah was mediocre. She seemed bored or maybe having a bad night and was doing her best to cover it with a smile. We ate up at the skybar which does have a very lovely view. The high-top table and chairs are uncomfortable. My wife and I had to come off the chairs to stand next to the table for a few moments because the chairs were so uncomfortable. As far as their food goes, I had the shrimp tacos. They were made with very fresh tasting ingredients and the shrimp wasdelicious. At least the 2 pieces per taco they came with. Most of what was in the taco was just the filling. $22.00 for two tacos I expected more shrimp. My wife's Grouper Moreno and the conch fritter appetizer were both delicious. Dessert was the salted caramel cheesecake which was good, but ridiculously sweet (as you'd expect it to be) Overall, the food was very good though the tacos could have included more shrimp then they did. The service was just okay. The restaurant itself is nice, but not the quiet relaxing place it looks like on their website. It's just another surf themed style restaurant, without all the gaudy decorations.

We did make a reservation a while in advance but it was not needed. There was only one other group dining at the restaurant while we were there. It's a huge restaurant so it was a little awkward saying we had a reservation when literally no one else was there lol. The food was good. Large portions. I had fresh oysters to start and I liked these. I then had a fried fish sandwich and I really liked the "comeback sauce" they put on it. Breaded really nicely and good flavor. Most of the people in our group enjoyed their meal! My friend has a dairy allergy and the server swore there was no dairy in her food but I think something may have slipped in because she wasn't feeling too great for a majority of the dinner following her appetizer of soft pretzels and entree of a salad.
