I've stayed at the palms numerous time but they recent changed the dinning and it was NOT for the better. Over priced and horrible quality. We had a bad breakfast and then ordered a pizza for our last night. Pizza took 30 minutes (that was fine) when we went down to get it they gave us a horrible cheese pizza with basically no cheese (we ordered pepperoni) she said they gave her the wrong box and it'd be out in 2 minutes. 2 minutes later it comes out... Same box and same pizza they just threw cold pepperonis on top. Would NOT eat here again. To top it, Service was awful during every encounter.

We stayed at the Palms of Destin for 5 days with my in-laws and children. My daughter has dairy and…read moreegg allergies. The chef went out of his way to use new clean oil to make my daughter fresh tortilla chips and French fries. He also made her a grilled chicken breast. We felt so comfortable and accommodated. Jackie was the hostess at the door both days that we went and both times she was absolutely fantastic. She is such a sweetheart with positive energy and welcoming personality. One of the nights we had Brie and the other we had Sabrina. Both girls were marvelous and went out of their way to be accommodating. The drinks and food are delish! No complaints on the food. We frequented the busy bar while at the pool on multiple occasions and the first days we had great bartenders. On the last two days there was a male bartender who seemed very tired and/ or overwhelmed. I don't mind sarcasm as I can dish it but I didn't love that he used sarcasm on my Mother in law who is older and so sweet but also not one who drinks. She had questions about how to make her piña colada less strong and he was a bit snarky. I get being tired from two jobs or working all day but the job is to be personable... Outside of the bartender, we had an amazing time and good experiences. We hope to go back next year.

My girlfriend and I were on vacation for the past 10 days, of which we ate out almost every night…read more Out of all of the places that we tried in Destin, Nonna's was by far the best meal and experience that we had. To start, I got the Nonna's old fashioned and she got the Bellini, and we shared the meatballs for an appetizer as well. The staff did a very good job at pacing the courses which also included complimentary bread. For the entree's, I ordered the Rigatoni Cacio e Pepe and she ordered the Napoletana. All of the food was delicious! Following the rest of the great meal, the dessert was even better. We ordered the Corleone, which we have now decided we want to try to recreate at home, it was that good. The staff and experience were so good the first time, we actually came back just for drinks and dessert a couple nights later, which we got to enjoy outside as they were setting off fireworks by the Harborwalk. If you are looking for big portions and a lower price, this may not be the place for you. However, if you appreciate the dining and culinary experience, this was well worth it! We will definitely be coming back if we come to Destin again.

Amanda, our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food was incredible. I've never had eggplant croutons in a Ceasar salad. Delicious! Amanda said the kitchen prepares them fresh as the salad is ordered. For entrees my wife ordered the Marguerite pizza and I had the Fettuccine Alfredo. Both were incredible! Perhaps the best item was the tiramisu for dessert. We'll find, Nonna's!

It was a memorable dinner. Great memory!

We ordered the kid's chicken tender meal, pretzel bites, chips & salsa, and Caesar salad with grilled chicken. The food is well made and good quality for the money. Usually, I am disappointed with hotel food. The service was friendly and attentive even during happy hour they were able to keep up with drinks and food. It was off season so we mainly sat inside at the restaurant space. It is nicely decorated with plenty of seating and some table games to keep the kids busy. The Caesar salad was huge with fresh greens and large pieces of chicken. The chicken tenders were also huge and meaty. And the fries with seasoning were addictive. I was also surprised the pizza was good. I had expected it to be either overly salty or taste like plastic. If you just want to stay in, it is a good alternative and to be honest it was better than some of the surrounding restaurants.

While they have expanded, reservations are a must if you're looking at bringing in a large group for dinner. Their menu is a revolving one so what some may have one night could differ another.

Nice spot, but the kitchen needs to take allergies seriously…read moreCamille's has charm to spare -- great location, solid tacos, and the cinnamon roll is a nice touch. On a good day this is a four-star experience easy. But here's the problem: I requested no avocado due to an allergy, and instead of remaking the dish, the cook simply wiped it off and sent it out. That's not a fix -- that's lazy and potentially dangerous. And with a 20-minute line, sending it back for a proper remake wasn't realistic. You're stuck eating around the problem or going hungry. Restaurants that cut corners on allergy requests don't get a pass because the vibe is nice. The food itself is enjoyable when it comes out right, and the setting is hard to beat on the Emerald Coast. Just watch your plate closely if you have any dietary restrictions.

Our server was professional and clearly doing everything she could, but she was assigned several large tables and was completely overwhelmed. It was obvious she needed help, yet no one stepped in to support her. As a result, we waited at least an hour and a half for our dinners. To make matters worse, our bill included a charge that shouldn't have been there. When we politely spoke with management about our experience, we weren't looking to get anyone in trouble--we simply wanted them to understand what had happened and make it right. Instead of addressing the excessive wait or the billing error in a meaningful way, management instructed our server to remove her gratuity from the bill rather than taking responsibility themselves. That response said everything. The problems we experienced were clearly management issues, not our server's. She worked hard under impossible circumstances and deserved support, not to have her tip used as the solution. We made things right for our server, and stressed to her that this was not her fault. The kitchen produces great food, and the restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. Unfortunately, poor management overshadowed what could have been a great dining experience. I hope they invest more in supporting their staff and taking ownership when things go wrong.

The music selection wasn't really my style, but at least the volume was set at a comfortable level, making it easy to have a normal conversation. We were pleasantly surprised by the menu. There's a strong focus on seafood, especially crab dishes, which reminded me a bit of what Red Lobster used to be years ago. The Buffalo Wings were excellent--exactly how they should be. We shared the Ahi Tuna appetizer, and honestly, I can't remember having a better one anywhere else. It was outstanding. Our server, Silvia, was incredibly friendly and took all the time we needed.
