“The food was excellent. I came at dinner time. I was eating alone, so I want to kind of a quiet spot and up near the front is not all the employees were laughing and talking loud so I asked to move into the next room. It was much better. I ordered the shrimp, tempura rolls, and California rolls and a nice tea on the side.. I thought I was coming here for hibachi after Tiros but I knew I couldn't eat all that it comes with a soup and salad which I didn't want. Anyway, I recommend the place and here are my two pictures and I ate everything and drink everything. My waitress is very sweet and kind and patient. The ambience was good, but there were a few people being super loud which I didn't care for because I was trying to chill but anyway can't help I was alone and they weren't lol.”

“Our food was good, but the presentation had a lot to be desired. Our waitress Sarah was ok, but not very attentive. We were disappointed that there was no bread so I ordered some side bread. It was a large dry croissant looking thing that was returned.Then here comes Ansley and saves the day. She was very attentive and was concerned with how we liked our meals..If we had a single reason to return, it would be Ansley. She was great!”

“Yup, officially one of my favorite restaurants and I am SO mad that I didn't get pictures this time. We had a pretty big party of 11. They sat us in less than 15 minutes and were so quick to get us settled in and take our orders. We got there around 6:30 and it wasn't too crowded, especially for a Friday night. I got a margarita, as I always do, which was the PERFECT size. We got three appetizers: the calamari (I could literally drink the sauce that comes with it), the crab cakes, and the wagyu meatball- it is GIANT. All three were 5 stars across the board. For my entree, I got the filet with a side of whipped potatoes (which I want to drown in), and a side of asparagus. I loved every minute of this dinner. We left around 8pm and that is when it started to pick up, so keep that in mind if you're not wanting to wait too long here. I can't wait to visit Panama City Beach again solely so I can come back here. 10/10 recommend!!”

“All slider sandwiches were excellent, although I had a favorite, I don't want to make the choice for you...go try them! There were so many choices of brews that I had to try six (samples) of them on this trip before settling in on one. We got very good choice advice from Ashleigh D. At the end of this wonderful visit, we took home five of the Growlers and shared them with friends. This is a "must visit again" place, so next visit, maybe I will try six or more samples.”

Proportions are big and if you are vegan you will not survive. Also there was a Cybertruck parked right outside the steakhouse. No MK4 Supra though☹️”

They are the smaller ones, but this that love oysters know the small ones taste so much better than the large ones. The key lime pie is pretty good too. Being from the the Texas Gulf Coast, I will be back.”

They had live music, and J Cruz, the one man act, was really good. He talked with the audience and made you feel at home. Would definitely stop back. Plus, they had carryout beverages.”

15660 Panama City Beach Pkwy, Panama City Beach

“This place is amazing! By far the best steak for the money. I have been to tons of steakhouses from extremely high end to hole in the walls. When I go and get an A5 Wagyu filet from a high-end place, I am paying ballpark $150. It will definitely be better than Texas Roadhouse. But I like paying $25 for a really good Ribeye! The only reason I give them a 4 on food, the kitchen struggles with Medium Rare steak. Other than that, it is an absolute must try!”

“Wow, the view from this restaurant is absolutely breathtaking. It sits up high, overlooking the Gulf, which alone warrants a 5-star rating. We were lucky enough to enjoy the ambiance of live music during our meal, which made the experience even better. The new chef is incredibly talented, and it showed in my order of the daily special - White Pasta Florentine with shrimp - and my wife's Cajun shrimp on gouda grits. Both dishes were delicious. I'm excited to come back and try the seared mahi next time. Overall, this restaurant is a hidden gem that I highly recommend.”
