Excellent service, good food and enjoyable view of all the beautiful boats in the marina. Chandler was our server during dinner, and we had an awesome experience. Then, the next day, my teenage son ventured over to the Marina while out exploring and fishing the property. I want to give a special shout out to Ms. Tara for making my kid feel welcomed and valued during all of his refills for Sprite. It's nice to know the staff here are good to kids, even when the parents aren't looking. These little gestures make a memorable experience for vacationing kids, and give us parents even more reason to visit again next year. Thank you for your kindness.Kid-friendliness: Sure, technically, its a bar inside. However, there is a HUGE outdoor seating area, and the staff treated both my teenage boys very kindly. We saw lots of kids eating here with their parents. It is appropriate for kids. Plus they have a talking parrot!

Ate here for dinner while staying at Hotel Effie. Prices here are better than a lot of the other restaurants in the area. The staff was friendly and helpful. Service was fast and accurate. The food was very good.

I had the blackened mahi mahi fish tacos and they were delicious. The staff was super friendly and they are also pet friendly! The location was very scenic and peaceful! Can’t wait to return.

Pleasant out door seating with magnificent view of harbor. Lovely friendly staff. We had blackened fish tacos chips & salsa. Grilled mahi-mahi with fries and slaw. A picturesque area with reasonably priced food. Give it a try.

We love the Marina bar. Perfect place for locals or people trying to escape the tourist crowds. Awesome to watch games or sit and watch the boats come in while the sunsets!

We walked in and at least 5 employees turned around and stared at us. It was seat yourself, so we sat down next to a table that was being served and a server kept walking right by us. After 15 minutes, no one acknowledged us. I hope the football game the employees were all watching was worth the loss of customers. O stars. Do not recommend.
A total disappointment in a local establishment. Service staff just stares at you and will not wait on you, after 15 minutes of waiting just left

The food was good and as expected. I ate there 2 times during my stay. I tried a 3rd but it was a Saturday night and it had a big crowd for college football. They seemed understaffed that night.

Had a great casual lunch at the bar today. Matt was our bartender/server and was super friendly and just all around a great guy. My husband and I split a cheeseburger and fries, and our friend had the clam chowder with side salad. Everything was hot and delicious. Love the view of the marina and bay. All 3 of us are private captains and love to hang out here when not busy with our charter business, Destin Private Tiki.
