High Tide has become a must stop for me and for my extended family whenever any of us visit the area. I always enjoy the smoked tuna dip! This was my first visit in several years and it still has that local/hometown vibe that I remembered. Our server was outstanding and we had our food in no time.

Visited twice and enjoyed both trips. Fish tacos were great, as were the decent portion of wings. However, the prices were a bit high for the amount/quality of the food. No draft beer? Recommend visiting when 2-4-1 coupons are available.

We are owners in this area. We have tried multiple times over many years to come to this restaurant for a meal. We have been met with closing earlier than posted, need a reservation when not busy and just poor service. So last night we went back after more than a one year break. So sad and disappointed that they cannot seem to get it together. The wait staff is young and focused but there is only so much that they can do. I asked specicically for a fresh bottle of wine...came out old and oxidized. The wait staff immediately apologized. I feel that she has been there before. Our entrees were good, but not great. I am so sorry and disappointed for this restaurant as they have the opportunity to be great if they wish. Love the setting and the ambience, just really miss this mark for the food. I exoect that we will not be back and we will advise our renters as such.Thank You for dining with us. Iâm glad our staff immediately apologized for your wine and while young, used her experience to take care of your needs. We are pleased to be a restaurant that still takes and honors reservations, and as such often appears empty while tables are awaiting those guests. Feel free to contact me personally if you would like. Tom

Their cheese sticks and Ranch dressing is so good! We loved the live acoustic music they had at the neighboring restaurant as we could see and hear it! It was a great experience!! Definitely one of our favorite places to come next time we come down!

If you are on a tight budget, this is not the place to be! You save up for this dining experience folks! The food is Amazing and the portions are plentiful! The atmosphere is great and the place is very eclectic. You will enjoy it if you go there...get yourself a Bourbon(Makers or Woodford) and Ginger with a lime, sit back and soak it all in! The stuffed mushrooms are amazing and the Steamed Platter is out of this world if you like seafood! The CRAB CAKES...DROP THE MIC!!!
5. Bay Cafe

We enjoyed Bay Café. It is an excellent alternative to the other restaurants in the areas which primarily offer seafood. The food was very good, the service was pleasant and the waterside seating at sunset really made our dinner memorable.As a businessman myself I cannot help from doing a mental cost analysis on the restaurants that we visit. When I compare similarly priced restaurants it is interesting to see where the management has chosen to compromise in the three primary expenses (real estate, employees & food cost). Typically, I expect to get two of the three. For example, Iâve noted that many of the more popular Destin/FWB eateries provide good service with splendid views, but the food is mediocre on their best day. This restaurant IMO delivers on all three... so how can they stay open? The variable they bend is customer cost-expect your check to be a little higher here-but I believe you will conclude that you get what you pay for at Bay Cafe.

This was our second time here and definitely the last. I hoped to give them another try with different results but after 2x's, I'm not impressed once again... DONE. Both times, the staff has acted sassy/rude and really not very considerate of paying guests. To top it off, they want to charge you extra for more chips for the crab dip when there already wasn't enough in relation to the amount of dip you receive. Then, to charge .50cents for "strawberry butter" for hushpuppies is tacky considering you order a $30 steak which was tough and not impressive. Fish special was overcooked...just really not impressed with sub-par food plus charging extra for every little item. I never mind paying extra when it makes sense but this just seemed petty as much as we spent on our meal. To finish on a positive note, the fried shrimp was the only relatively good item out of four dinners.

We had lunch here based on TA reviews. Was not disappointed! Parking was easy, and several seats when we got inside (but I would guess it'll be packed at peak times). Service was friendly. This is one of those places you order at the counter and they call your number when it's ready. We had a couple orders of fish tacos (awesome!) and kids meals. We also tried the baked beans (very good) and french fries. Prices were very good for the good portion size and food quality. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

I loved this place. Go and ask for Phillip. He was incredible and kept us laughing. I ordered grilled shrimp and my husband ordered the blackened Mahi Mahi. They were both excellent choices. Phillip also suggested the shrimp rangoons, which I was skeptical about but they were creamy, spicy, and sweet all at the same time. I would go back just for those! We sat outside beside the water and it was the perfect ambiance for our date.
