Marinated steak
Lori C.

We found this place last year and loved it! The ambiance is amazing beginning with the beautiful staircase going down to the restaurant and the beach/water view, especially around sunset! The servers are all friendly and knowledgeable, recommending specials and favorite dishes. So far I've had amazing experiences! The Shrimp Risotto and Marinaded steak were both delicious and perfectly cooked with fresh ingredients!

I would honestly say the vibe here is really cool. My husband and I chose this spot because it was our last night in Destin and we wanted to get a nice fine dining experience in. It is attached to a very nice hotel/condos so you will kind of notice that when getting there. The restaurant itself is in the back facing the ocean. Overall from drinks to dessert the food/service was very good. The ceviche presentation was a bit peculiar but it tasted great. The shrimp and grits were excellent. My husband mentioned a little too much salt but honestly I said he was being picky which he always does. I personally found them delightful. They are a little spicy too which made them that much better. For dessert we had a nice lemon cake type deal. Once again the taste was superb. They have several fine dining options in the Destin area and I would argue this is one of them. Also sorry for leaving out the picture of the shrimp and grits. Yelp has a glitch with loading certain pictures.

Mixed review. The gals that greeted us were a little snooty and standoffish in my opinion. I felt like they didn't want us there. We sat at the bar and ordered lunch. It was kinda pricey but the food was amazing!!! The service from the bar side of things sure made us feel better.

One of our favorite restaurants with a view in Destin. The food and service have been consistently good. We need to come back for dinner as we just come here for lunch/brunch for the most part!

We had a group of 10 which I understand can be difficult coming from a server. The table next to us told us it took them over three hours to get food for a table of 5. Our food came out quicker than that, but the bacon burgers came with about three bacon bits on them a piece. None of the burgers were cooked to the correct temperature and they took 20 minutes to bring our condiments. We also had to ask 5 times for a single shirley temple. Do not recommend. Maybe for a smaller party.

Excellent food and very attentive service. Indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the beautiful Emerald Coast of Destin FL. Will dine there again hopefully very soon.

Seared Scallops

Came here mid-July and wanted to have dinner on the beach to watch the sunset. We have tried other beachfront restaurants in Destin and have always been disappointed, so our expectations for Soleil were low even with good reviews. I have to say it was a pleasant surprise. Our server, Nico, provided some of the best customer service and gave great recommendations on which dishes to order. We had Crab cakes for appetizer and the Grouper and Seared Scallops for the main dish. Crab cake was very thick, well seasoned, and cooked perfectly. The sautéed grouper was slightly under seasoned and under seared, but the buerre blanc sauce really saved the dish. Seared scallops were seared perfectly which is rare for many restaurants in Destin to execute for some reason. Sitting outdoors on their patio gave us perfect views of the ocean and sunset. It's tough to get both great seafood and service in the area, but Soleil accomplished it. I recommend for those wanting a fine dining experience! They are also very kid-friendly

You have to make reservations to eat here was what my husband was told. So he did for my birthday but not sure why because there was no one else but some folks at the bar. We were the only people seated at a table. Not sure if they had something else going on but we waited almost 30 min to get our brunch which were eggs and toast and eggs Benedict at 3pm. Food was average. The home fries that came with dish were cold. It was windy that day so we sat inside next to the windows with the gulf views. Would have been a better view if the windows were not dirty. Might be ok with the tourists but disappointed as a local.
