A nice place at the water shore, great seating options inside or outside. I was craving something that wasn't too heavy and was pleased with the crispy shrimp tacos (without coleslaw). They had a good amount of shrimp per taco! However, those fresh cut French fries were too good to go to waste. My friend's chicken caesar salad wrap looked simple but met the intent. Some good options on the menu for anyone! Enjoyed that it was clean and great spot to be with friends or family.

Nice spot on a late Sunday evening arrival! The wait staff was amazing with recommendations and places to try as the restaurant was closed on Monday and Tuesday! The atmosphere and views outside were fantastic as I grew up on a boat and spent a lot of time in marinas! Very cool venue. I started with an ice cold beer and I went here because I was craving redfish. My waiter gave me two other dishes to consider which was pretty awesome and made the decision even harder. Ordered the blackened redfish served over green beans with cheese grits on the side. The fish was perfectly cooked and flaky and I loved the seasoning. The cheese grits were great and I know that many folks aren't a fan of grits at all. Was stuffed and would have come back to try other dishes unfortunately they weren't open.

It was my first time in the Destin area & The Wharf came highly recommended. A delightful atmosphere, lively with plenty of Staff. I started in the bar with amazing bartenders Tyler & Christian were a delight. The drinks were great! Reasonably priced & a strong pour. They recommended the oysters and I had a 1/2 dozen. Amazing! I was seated for dinner by myself. My server, Annika, was absolutely a doll! She was very attentive & had excellent suggestions regarding my menu questions. I had the crab cake with delicious grits. She made sure I had everything I needed during my meal and kept the drinks flowing. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place. The food is wonderful, staff was amazing and Reasonably priced. An excellent experience!

Located down a backside road that runs through a neighborhood. Great location directly on the bay where you can enjoy outdoor breeze or sit inside. The biggest juiciest shrimp (shrimp cocktail) I have seen served at an establishment. Service was great - very knowledgeable of the menu, even better adult beverages selection. There was a live band the night I was there. I looks like they have games scattered around the restaurant. One of our best seafood meals during our week on the gulf coast.

One of our best seafood meals during our week on the gulf coast. The biggest juiciest shrimp and the most delicious raw oysters we had. Our server was phenomenal and constantly on the go working many tables. The fried sampler was quite larger and very good. We enjoyed everything about our visit and look forward to returning to this wonderful restaurant again in the future. Love the location right on the water and the nautical decor.

The other reviews are mixed, so I was not sure what to expect. However, we were pleasantly surprised. The view is beautiful and worth a visit just for that. We came in at 6, and we're seated shortly. It is graduation week, so we knew it could be packed. Our waitress was very friendly, patient, and on her game. She was taking care of tables all over the restaurant, and we were never without. We had the fried green tomatoes with crab, crab stuffed mushrooms, a ceasar salad with grilled fish, smoked wings, blackened red snapper, and grilled shrimp plate. The portions are huge, and the food was seasoned well. We really enjoyed everything and I couldn't have been more pleased with our waitress. If I am every back in town, I will be sure to come by again.
