Our waitress was very attentive and very friendly and was helpful with recommendations. We got pork rinds and boiled peanuts for appetizers and both were great! The pork rinds came with a house hot sauce which were delicious. All of our entrees were delicious. My scallops were perfectly cooked and not sandy at all. My husband's pork shank was huge and super tasty. My parents both got the brisket sandwich and the cornbread was stellar! Great place and we'll be back if we visit Pensacola again.

I visited Union Public House yesterday at 5:50 PM and was extremely disappointed with the service…read more I've eaten here before and have never had an experience like this. I was seated in the middle of the bar with customers on both sides of me. My server took my drink and food order, and after that, she never returned to check on me. I watched her walk past me several times while attending to the customers directly to my left and right. Not once did she ask how my food was, whether I needed another drink, a box, or my check. Eventually, another server noticed my frustration and asked if I needed anything. I told him I needed a box and my check and explained that my server had never returned to check on me. His response was, "We are all working the bar." That response was unnecessary and dismissive. If everyone was working the bar, it makes it even more confusing that I sat there for so long without anyone checking on me. A simple, "I'm sorry about that. Let me take care of you," would have been the appropriate response. I understand restaurants get busy, and I don't expect perfection. However, basic attentiveness and customer service should be expected, especially when a customer is sitting directly at the bar. Unfortunately, this experience was very disappointing.

No one greeted us though three employees locked eyes with us and did not acknowledge us as we waited outside for 7 minutes. My brother finally went inside since it was our first time and we didn't know it there was a hostess stand inside or not- the employee inside was dismissive and said the hostess is taking a to go order right now and told us to wait in a demeaning manner. When inside we saw on their menu that they are slow and that they have a 3.99% credit card fee... wish they told us when I made the reservation so I could bring cash. They also wrote on the back of the menu. if you don't leave a tip with the server, 20% will be charged. We ordered appetizers and entrees- my mom and I wanted to share , there is a surcharge for sharing (our server graciously waived) The restaurant is small- just a handful of indoor tables but decent amount of seating outside; though fairly hot. Food was alright- but pricey even without protein. Nothing to write home about. Our waiter Logan was good, but overall not the best experience.

I checked my receipt the next day and didn't know the server added gratuity. My mistake for not knowing the restaurant did this. So, the receipt showed $125 gratuity, and I left $200 cash.

She was so rude, instantly felt as if she was combative and short with us in every interaction. She didn't bother to mention happy birthday to my husband or offer him dessert until I brought it up at the end of the meal. She was giving warmth to the tables around us, so we could hear her other interactions clearly. Very very disappointed in the service, but the food was outstanding!!! Really good Brussels, Diavlo pizza, and Chocolate cake!!

Agapi Bistro has officially become one of my favorite restaurants in Pensacola…read more We had originally planned to visit a few months ago, but I'm actually glad we waited because part of their menu changes monthly, and this month featured Hawaiian-inspired fare. Not traditional Hawaiian mixed-plate style, but an elevated interpretation that was absolutely superb. We started with the fresh-made baguette, served with butter, pesto and EVOO. Fantastic combination and a great start to the meal. For mezze, we ordered the Huli Huli chicken and Spam Musubi Bao. Both were packed with flavor and easily dishes I would order again. We split the grilled pork collar for our entrée, which was excellent, but the sweet potatoes accompanying it nearly stole the show. I could have eaten an entire plate of those alone. Despite being completely full, we finished with the brown butter lemon bar, which was rich, bright and absolutely worth finding room for. The service matched the quality of the food. Our waitress was genuinely delightful--attentive, personable, funny and engaging without being intrusive. She made an already enjoyable dinner even better. I don't drink much anymore, but I also took notice of the wine selection. As someone who spent years around Napa County wine country, I can be a bit of a wine snob, and Agapi has a surprisingly extensive and well-curated list. Pensacola has some genuinely good culinary experiences, and Agapi is absolutely one of them. Creative food, excellent execution, great service and an atmosphere that made for a wonderful night out. We'll definitely be back.

The Greek meatballs and pita with humans (also in happy hour menu) were good, and a great value. I had the scamp with crab meat cream sauce, was outstanding but very rich. Pork meatballs with homemade pasta wasn't my cup of tea, but adult son was impressed. The veal Boca was great (healthy portion also), as was the chicken. The service was excellent. Very attentive and reasonable fast. The restaurant is a small venue, nicely decorated. A tad loud, but not a problem. The happy hour options makes eating at a very nice restaurant more affordable. Available 4-6 Tuesday to Thursday.

From the moment we arrived, Melissa provided some of the best service we've experienced in a long time. She took incredible care of our entire party, including our 6-month-old daughter. As any parent knows, dining out with a baby can sometimes be challenging, but Melissa made us feel completely welcome and comfortable throughout the evening. We enjoyed wine, appetizers, and several entrées, and she was wonderful about accommodating customizations and special requests. What really stood out was how genuinely kind and engaging she was with our baby and she took time to play with her, made her smile and giggle, and truly helped make the night special for our whole family. The food was fantastic, the views are absolutely incredible, and the atmosphere is hard to beat. The outdoor patio and bar area are especially beautiful. After dinner, Melissa helped us relocate outside where we enjoyed more wine and dessert while taking in the view. And whatever you do, don't skip the crème brûlée, it was the perfect ending to an already amazing meal! The entire team was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the level of hospitality we experienced was exceptional. Between the delicious food, stunning waterfront setting, and outstanding service from Melissa, this was one of the highlights of our trip. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in Pensacola. Thank you, Melissa and the DRIFT team, for such a memorable evening!

I had a lovely experience at Drift…read more The views of the Gulf are beautiful and the decor is classic and coastal. Most patrons wore dressy beach attire - sundresses for ladies and nice shorts or slacks for the guys. Our server was wonderful! He was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable of that menu. The food was good. I had the lamb chops appetizer and peach burrata salad as my main. The chops were overdone, but the flavor was nice, and the asparagus that came with was yummy. I loved the salad and would order it again. The tuna poke appetizer was a toss up. The tuna was delicious, but the crabmeat was so disappointing. It had the consistency and flavor of canned crab. I'm not saying for sure that it was canned, but with all of the fresh options, I just thought I'd get really good crabmeat. My husband had the catch of the day, which I think was sea bass. It was delicious! The fish tasted super fresh and was perfectly seasoned. For dessert we had the chocolate cake. It was so dry - as if it had been frozen or something. Overall, our experience was positive.

My son finished his tennis tournament late (he was amazing and we are incredibly proud of him) and…read morewe were in need of dinner in Pensacola. We all wanted pizza. Since it was Sunday evening, a lot of Pensacola's Italian restaurants were closed. Bavarian Pensacola was opened and immediately went to the top of the list for the Yelp reviews and the unusual combination of German and Italian food. The restaurant is located in a neat downtown district. Parking is limited but we were fortunate to find a spot close to the shop. We walked in were immediately by a friendly hostess who offered any table we wanted to sit at. We chose a high top which had comfortable chairs. The interior of the restaurant was really interesting. The military vibe is everywhere and awesome. Photos and images celebrating our great armed service members with a local Pensacola flare adorned the walls where TV's weren't hung on. The atmosphere is open and pleasantly bright. There was also the German influence which worked well with the other themes of the restaurant. Our waiter was great. We ordered large pretzel with sweet mustard, spicy mustard and beer cheese. The pretzel was legit and all of the sauces were great. For entrees, I ordered French Onion soup with a side spatzel (sp?). My wife ordered the Reuben on a panini instead of rye with German potato salad. My son ordered blackened buffalo wings and fries. The onion soup was tasty- I like more broth than onion but that's me. The spatzel was good in a sneaky way. When I first had a bite, I was underwhelmed with the initial taste. But just as the taste progressed, the spatezel conveyed a rich buttery flavor that prompted me to snack on them throughout the meal. My wife's Reuben was the winner of the dinner. The Reuben was amazing! The bread was delicious and the combination of corned beef, sauerkraut and sauce was so good. One of the best Reuben's we have had. Awesome! The potato salad was served cold (often it is served warm) but my wife was not a fan; that is not a hit on the dish however since it tasted like the German potato salad we have had in the past. My son's wings were tasty but not your typical buffalo flavor. It was a dry rub that was blackened which is different from the typical buffalo wing flavor. My son was not a fan but they were good once you knew they were different from the norm. Bavaria Pensacola makes their own blue cheese dressing. Tragically, they were out. I am positive the dressing is top notch. If you're still with me, you might be wondering a pizza- the menu was so varied that we chose something else. That doesn't mean that the pizza was any less delicious than the items we ordered. We will return again to try the pizza. We finished the dinner with chocolate cake and apple strudel. Both were great. The strudel was doughy and not flaky but tasty nonetheless. The cake was rich and completely worth the splurge. Overall, we had a great time. The food was good, our service was great and we promised ourselves that we would return the next time we are in Pensacola. Thanks, Bavaria Pensacola!!

Even the fries were delicious, house-cut and fried perfectly. This is a perfect place for a date night, girls night or just a nice dinner to treat yourself too. Only thing is there isn't much parking. I would definitely be back next time I'm in the area. If you haven't tried yet do yourself a favor and go!

Dirty martini was excellent, Kumamoto oysters and all accompaniment's were delicious. Where they fell short...we ordered salmon crudo at the same time that we ordered oysters and there was a very long delay between the two, our waitress even came over twice to reassure us that the crudo was coming. But...our entrees were brought out before the crudo. kind of defeats the purpose of a cold crudo when you're eating it with your hot entree :-( We were comped a dessert, which we would have ordered anyway...to add insult to injury, my snapper was overcooked and dry! DH said his scallops were delicious, but lacked the promised orange flavor. Funny/not funny, eating the crudo left me disappointed and wishing for a better experience. I actually continued to think about it when I got home, it bothered me that much. Not sure what the restaurant could have done differently...as they say, timing is everything! $216 + tip = $258.19 for dinner for 2...I should not leave disappointed.
