Off season which is a beautiful time to visit. Low crowds. Seating was quick, Outside seating and a live band. Sunset over the water was beautiful. The menu choices were great and food was amazing. Staff quick and friendly all around very pleasant. Waitress was friendly and kept drinks flowing.

Service was just ok even though I don’t put much blame on our actual server. Yes our drinks ran low and he could have been more attentive but otherwise not his fault. Servers who brought food did all but toss our plates down then when we asked for one missing item we got a huff and nothing. One dish was just not good at all. Shrimp and grits were tasty. Kids grilled cheese wasn’t even melted cheese. Never got our missing hush puppies. Just not a good experience other than the perfect weather for sitting outside.

The mermaid and staff were incredible. It wasn’t very busy when we were there and there was only one mermaid inside. Her name was treasure. And my little Boys were absolutely smitten! He asked when the mermaids who swim would be there and even though she was the only mermaid she offered to swim with them. She went above and beyond to make my boys week special. The food was good. Nothing to special. But the live music, mermaid isn’t he pool, and drinking beers with our feet in the pool with a bay view was something special.

Service was great and the food was fantastic! The cheesecake may have been the best I have ever had! And real mermaids to take pics with! And don’t forget to wear your bathing suit to swim in the pool while waiting for your food

We were on a girls trip and came across this place. It has great food and a wonderful staff. Kids can swim with a mermaid. Just an awesome place. Quick service too. Will try again.

We had a great lunch today at Sisters by the Sea. Cold Gulf shrimp and fried okra. My husband had a side salad. Great atmosphere and bar. There is a pool which looked like a lot of fun with a poolside bar.

Absolutely amazing experience for a little girl who dreams of being a mermaid. You can swim with the mermaids in a pool in the back next to the bar. If your kid can swim best babysitting bar I've ever seen.There's a dressed up mermaid up front you can take dry pictures. Mermaids keep character. There's a pirate that makes balloon animals. We didn't get to entertain with him but tips are appreciated for all the hard work at baby sitting they do.

This place is off the more travelled roads and hidden near the boat dock. The food was delicious and the service was great!

This is a good experience for the kids especially the little girls! They have a real live mermaid on premises! This time they had a pirate there as well making balloon animals! The food is normally really good and this time as well. I would not suggest the boudin balls as they weren't good for the past two times! The cheese bites are excellent! The reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5 is because the prices are getting out of hand so much that it don't seem worth the price! Note: The waiter charged me for a whole bottle of wine which was corrected after I checked our bill. Good experience for the ones that's never been here but unsure if we will visit again simply because "we've been there done that..time to move on to something else"

Don't be fooled by the gimmicky exterior, the food really is amazing. We were skeptical clear up to the appetizer arriving. But we're blown away. We ordered cheese bombs, vooDoo pasta, Nola pasta, mahi-mahi and crab cakes. I recommend it all. We almost passed on this but so glad we went went in.
I saw Sisters by the Sea on here and decided to give it a try! we went straight to the bar and were seated immediately. the food was good! the drinks were okay. our table had the frickles and cheese curds to start. for the entrees, we had crab cakes with the green beans and mashed potatoes, the voodoo pasta with chicken, and key lime mahi. the new owner, Jacob, is very personable and made sure we were taken care of! Would absolutely recommend stopping by this restaurant and enjoying a great meal! The view is also spectacular, so make sure you venture to their patio!!

Sisters of the Sea might just be the coolest restaurant that I have ever been to! Such a fun environment! We went for our daughter’s 5th birthday because she loves mermaids. We for there around 4:00 to try and miss the heavy crowds. We were seated right away. We sat on the covered patio where live music was playing and by the pool.Our server was very friendly. Everyone was friendly. We had several stop and check on us. It really exuded a team atmosphere which was nice to see. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced.The mermaids arrived at 5 and they were such a hit! One was in the pool and one was inside. Both were very friendly and looked like beautiful real mermaids! Our kids loved them! Swimming with one was an added bonus!The music was good, not all songs very appropriate for young kids (drinking, cuss words, so on) but for adults it was great. The outside area definitely had more of a bar feel and not as much of a family feel. The inside had much more of that family feel. The outside seemed more like a place parents could go listen to live music while they ate and drank/boozed while their kids had fun in the pool. It was a fun environment.The only thing that could’ve made it better would be if the music was more younger kids friendly until a certain time. Again, the songs were great for adults (I loved them) but I didn’t love that my 5 year old was hearing songs with curse words and about getting drunk. From what I could see there were a lot of younger kids arriving at 5:00 for the mermaids.

Absolutely Loved pirate Scooter(needs a raise he def entertained us and made time pass)! The food was all good! You can't go wrong with any of the Appetizers!

We happened upon this place when everywhere was so crowded for dinner. Said it would be a 30-35 minute wait. We got seated in about 10 minutes. Everyone was super nice & the food was great. They have "live mermaids" which my 7yo absolutely loved. Would definitely go back!

We go to Panama City almost every year and this was the first time we heard of this restaurant. We ended up eating there twice it was so good and was a great price. The Staff was great! They have a pool so kids can be entertained while waiting for food. There was love entertainment or second night and it was very relaxing. The amount of grouper I got in the basket and in the seafood trio was easily twice as much as you get anywhere else and was cheaper. The crab cakes were great. We ordered them as an appetizer both times and my 10 yr old son ordered it as his dinner the second time.
