Broiled Stuffed Flounder
Jim

Ambiance and service here were the highlights. The restaurant is set in an older historic home and it contains some interesting antiques. Server was attentive and informative. Now to the food... I ordered the broiled stuffed flounder which came with a twice baked potato and steamed vegetables which were both good. The flounder however came swimming in a literal pool of butter, thus making the stuffing which is underneath the fish soggy and butter soaked. This dish had so much potential but with this execution, it fell short. I regretted not ordering a steak or prime rib. Next time I'll know.

Manicotti

I got the manicotti with meat sauce and it was so delicious!! The pasta, manicotti and the sauce all tasted so perfect.

This was crab cake, linguine with shrimp.

The service was not bad, but the food was not good. Ambiance was nice, with live music

Grilled shrimp... served on garlic bread with a twice baked potatoes and fresh vegetables

Beautiful house converted to a restaurant. Be sure to make reservations! Service is phenomenal and the owner is the nicest lady. Portions are huge!! Definitely come hungry and order what you want leftovers of later. Everything was fresh and came out piping hot.

I don't give out many 5 star reviews but tonight this place deserves it. We entered the business about 10 minutes prior to our 5 pm reservation and expected a wait, which we did until about 4:58 pm. There is a small war museum upstairs that can help with the wait as there is plenty to see. The place is beautifully decorated for the Christmas holiday and music is played live by a gentleman on his key board. Usually the hostess is known for her unfriendly/snippy manor but tonight she was smiles, charming and accommodating. I believe it helped set the tone for the remainder of the evening. This is my 4th visit here over the years and my parents and their friends who winter here go here a few times each winter for brunch, lunch or dinner and they state they always have a good meal. Our waitress was very attentive. They had a few nightly specials not on the menu which one in our party ended up ordering. I had the rib eye steak with black bean soup. You have a choice of soup or salad. My father gave me his salad so I was able to experience that too. The black bean soup was tasty and loaded with beans. The salad was crisp. The steak was amazingly tender. The server explained that they trim their own steaks and the leftover trims that can't be sold are cooked and put under the steak you order to help present the steak. So, when you order steak you get a little extra of "whatever" the cooked trim is. That tastes good as well but was a little strange eating steak that didn't have a name attached meaning I had no idea what kind of steak scraps I was eating...lol. The steak had a mushroom and light sauce over it and was served with an awesome arrangement of cooked veggies and a small side of noodles with Alfredo sauce that was tasty as well. The others in my party had chicken Alfredo, scallops and crab cakes with shrimp. All reported their meals were near perfect deliciousness. I would love to go back for a lunch and check out some of their lunch items. Hopefully I can get there this year yet!

Stuffed flounder

Cute restaurant in Fort Walton! Had lunch with my grandma and aunt here. 2 of us had the chicken salad on croissant and the other had stuffed flounder. All very delicious. One of the best coleslaws I've ever had (I'm a coleslaw snob I want to like it but don't always). Didn't have room for dessert but it looked so good!

The food was excellent! The poor waitress needed more help. The young man with the desserts was impressive. Over all a good experience.

Very pleasant, nostalgic, open, friendly lunch experience. Their soft shell crab sandwich special was great.

Tried Harbor Tavern on Saturday and it's officially a local hidden gem. We actually heard about it…read morefrom our captain on a Tiki Cruise--great recommendation. 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.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! If I could give negative…read morestars, I would. SERVICE was horrendous. Servers walking around like space cadets, group after group left because they couldn't get waited on. Ask for something because they forgot to bring it...? Good luck getting it or a server back to your table! We had to go source our own condiments amd napkins. Asked for well done burger, it was medium rare. Only good thing to say is the location.
