Drinks
Ken B.

I didn't go in with high expectations, but unfortunately, it still fell short. The service was good, no complaints there. However, the food was a letdown. We kept it simple with burgers, a crispy chicken sandwich, and fries. The burgers were dry and lacked seasoning, and while the chicken sandwich actually had good flavor, the batter was soggy, not crispy at all. For a place that's known for kicking back with a good drink in hand, it was disappointing that they were out of almost every beer on draft, including their own Landshark Lager. I get that this is more of a novelty or tourist spot, but even with adjusted expectations, it still missed the mark.

It was off peak season, so there wasn't a crowd. It was well decorated with Christmas stuff. So beautiful. Forgot to take pictures of the appetizers. But had the mixed platter, which was really good. Service was 10:10.

Our party of 15 had a great time at Margaritaville. Interestingly, we arrived at 6:30 and were seated immediately. Frankly, there were very few patrons there at dinner hour. The food and drinks were all good. The server was a bit sarcastic, which knocked the review down one star. I enjoyed my drinks. The burger was very tasty and a lot of food. The ambiance is very fun. We had a seat right next to the windows, which opened to the beach. While we didn't play, they have several games of bags laid out for anyone to use.

We wanted to dine in while we walked the Harbor. There was a good wait time. One of my guest ordered the shrimp linguine. She said it was good, but didn't eat very much of it. The chocolate Bundt cake was delicious! I chose dessert b/c everything was a little over priced, and I couldn't choose. The view was great. We enjoyed sitting on the doc and viewing the water!

On a recent vacation we stopped in the HarborWalk Village and decided to eat lunch at Jimmy Buffet's signature restaurant. The ambiance of these things cannot be understated. You're literally transported to Key West and the vibe is chill. We were quickly greeted and our server was friendly and suggested I try the Jambalaya, which I did. However, I asked if the meal could be spicy and she said "they won't deviate from the recipe". Not her fault, but when it comes adding spice that should be easy to do. Anyways, the drinks were good, and the meals were all great. The only downside (thus the four star) is that the restaurant got slammed as were at the end of our meal and then service was non-existent. We waited about fifteen minutes for a check, but that's management issue. If you're in Destin check this place out - the food is good.

Asian chicken salad

I'm not sure why this place has such bad reviews. Of course the tables are sticky--- it's humid and it's worth it for the amazing view. Did we have to wait for food? Yes but they let us know that the kitchen was backed up. We had a great view. Food was great. Drinks and service were amazing! Aubrey Berry was the next server! Just know that the lunch menu is almost nonexistent. The only thing for $11.99 is the Asian chicken salad with no chicken. Just get the regular Asian chicken salad. It was delicious!

They tried to charge $2.50 for this side of salsa, really??

Do Not Go Here. We really should have listened to reviews. -$20 parking fee no one mentions for parking at the harbor -Absolutely terrible, slow, unapologetic service -Food is disgusting (nachos were extremely soggy) -Extremely overpriced for quality of food -Tried to rip us off and charge for sides of ranch and salsa that didn't even come until the end of meal -Tried to charge for kids drinks that were included in the meal, my husband had to go to the front of the restaurant to show our server who kept arguing it wasn't -Order was SO slow, our daughter fell asleep while waiting for her meal -Look at your receipt before you pay Only positive was the balloon guy (very nice). Avoid this tourist trap at all costs and take heed of the negative reviews that really do warn you. I wish I did.

Excited to find a Margaritaville here! As Parrot heads, we've visited so many but this one was excellent! We were seated quickly for an early dinner. Dave F. was pleasant & efficient. He suggested some favorites & accommodated us as we wanted the buffalo chicken dip & not the entire appetizer sampler. The Cheeseburger in Paradise (my usual) did not disappoint & neither did the "Perfect Margarita". Be prepared to pay $20 to park in the Boardwalk parking lot & the usual higher prices for the name.

No fans
Joe B.

As with all the other recent reviews mine is no different. I've been to many of these locations around the state but being from Orlando and have been to their newly opened resort in Ft.Myers this by far was the worst. First the ground floor was closed...no specific reason Upon the hostess stand on 2nd floor were 2 young girls on their phone. I told one of them we are a party of 4 and she ignored me. Another girl walked up much more friendlier. Upon seating wasn't aware this location is completely open to the outside elements. Being on the beach I have seen this but usually has additional fans or cool areas. There were minimal fans and no cool areas. We requested to change seats and she said we would have 30 minute wait to do so. At this time we ordered drinks upon receiving they were sour and funky having knowledge in the restaurant business can cleary tell the taps were old and dirty. I said something to the waitress and she acted like this is a usual thing she was very dismissive. I'll get back to her later. So we ordered and very specific on one order because of pickle allergies. We actually were making bets to see if the item came out with it or not. Of course it did. My daughter's chicken was hard as a rock and French fry's were old. I ordered a salad and was soggy. The last meal was no complaints. Being that we were starving we did not complain. The waitress had a very poor attention span as she passed us several times and head down not asking how we were doing. She definitely seemed overwhelmed. All the employees look miserable and don't look like they want to be there. I would never go back to this location. As someone else said Jimmy would be very disappointed.

1/2 chicken
Michelle R.

We went here for an early dinner while in town . We loved the view of the water & pier . The service was good & fast . We ordered the coconut shrimp with a salad . The shrimp was crisp & good . We also ordered 1/2 a chicken with green beans & sweet potatoes. The chicken was flavorful & good . The prices were kind of expensive but the food was really good . They have Coke products

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.

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.

The Harbor Tavern is a fun vibe, in the afternoon it is perfect for an outdoor seating experience…read more The service was quick and the food was amazing. We had the burger, a patty melt, and blackened shrimp along with the cheese curd and taziki appetizers which were so good that we had them eaten before I even had time to get a photo. This was our first time at The Harbor Tavern but it will not be our last, we will be Mali this a regular dinner destination.
