The view from the balcony is gorgeous. I love the blackened grouper and the girls had fried shrimp. However the staff getting into the resort, parking, was horrible. We made a wrong turn trying to get to the restaurant and the security guard in his 70's was very unfriendly and even I made him actually do his job to tell me where to go rather than just turn me around he was agitated. The restaurant does not have adequate AC, no matter the wait, try to get seating outside. You won't regret it. The food was really good however stick with beer and soda. All the mixed drinks including the kids virgin Pina colada, and my wife's moonshine tea were watered down. Our drinks could barely taste the alcohol. I highly recommend the grouper sandwich. The hostess was amazing, however the rest of the staff tended to care for the people outside rather than the customers sweating inside. I would go back following my advice on being outside. I think the review would have been 4 stars. The drinks were very disappointing.
Not a lot to choose from on the menu, slow service, mediocre food, and more suited for people coming from the beach & pool. I rarely ever give 1-2 stars, but unfortunately I had to for this restaurant. This is my family’s first time within the Sandestin community and this is the first restaurant we chose to check out with it being right next to our condo. We waited about 5-10 minutes for the host to show up to the desk until he told us we’d have a 45 minute wait, but he stated that they usually overshoot their predicted wait time… which is correct because it only took about 20 minutes before we got seated. My party of 5 was seated in the back side of the restaurant away from the ocean view, but that didn’t really bother us… what did is how low & somewhat uncomfortable the chairs were at the table. The chairs are outdoor chairs (even though we were indoor) but I suppose they are that way to withstand people coming in from the pool/beach. After sitting down, the server took about 10 minutes to take our drink order, then another 15 minutes to take our appetizer order, then another 20 minutes to take our food order… bottom line, the service was SLOW. And unfortunately not very friendly either. Checked up on us maybe once. As far as the menu goes, there’s not much to choose from. Our appetizer was the cheese fries—which was fine, but they literally only put like 4 bacon bits on there. Definitely low tier cheese fries. For my main meal, I got the Gulf Shrimp & Crabmeat Pasta, which was honestly mediocre—I couldn’t eat it all because I could already feel the heartburn coming (mainly due to the spice). I also had some of the Beach House Nachos, and I personally liked those better than the pasta. Were they great? No, but they were ok. It’s definitely a hefty serving too, so they seem like the perfect dish to split with another person. On top of everything, the food was EXPENSIVE for was it was.Overall, this restaurant is probably more suited for people coming from the beach and pool. The appetizers seem like a good lunch to split with another person though. We probably won’t be going here again.
The service was friendly and efficient, the vibe was perfect, laid back, ocean view, and the food was terrific! There was live music the 2nd time we went, but it was just meh. Better live music elsewhere. I had a local beer, 30 beach blonde, and it was really good. We loved this restaurant so much that we went 2 nights in a row! it was walking distance from our condo, which was so nice, but worth any drive also. The first night we had fish tacos and grilled shrimp, both delicious. The second night we had the blackened grouper sandwich, which was the single most delicious meal we had the entire trip. It was recommended to us by the people sitting near us at the restaurant - they loved it so much they had to tell others. So go here and get the grouper and beer!
Grouper was very good. The fish tacos were a hit. Most of our group ate the fried shrimp was described as good, not great. The hush puppies were lacking a bit. The daiquiris were good, along with, the pineapple slaw!
EXCELLENT Grouper was SOOOO fresh and GOOD!! Had a drink and was not disappointed at all! Kids enjoyed their food also
The Beach House was a great place to catch up with friends for lunch. We chose to sit inside but the outdoor porch provides a great ocean view. The casual atmosphere was inviting and the service was good. Our waiter and the kitchen staff accommodated my request for blackened fish nachos instead of tacos due to allergies. The dish was beautiful and delicious. The Paloma from the bar was refreshing and we look forward to another visit to The Beach House.
Very good food and great service. The view was the best even had a pool to relax by. Definitely a place I will revisit when in the area?
We had a fantastic experience here. Great food, great service and great views. Between the four of us we had a seafood platter, a crab cake sandwich and fish tacos. Everyone loved what they ordered and the only thing left was a few fries. The price is pretty typical for a resort area but the food was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend.
Nice place right on the beach! The strawberry walnut salad was absolutely delicious and so were the grouper bites. We actually went here 2 days in a row because we loved it so much. Service was better for lunch than at dinner, can be very busy but worth the wait!
What is up with the bathrooms on the 2nd/ 3rd floor and in a dark hallway. Not very user friendly and what if someone has a handicap? or a stroller? Like a liability waiting to happen Everyone in the ladies room commented on this " Where am I going? Where am I ? creepy. Place seemed dirty, food gross. The only thing it has going is location.
