    Nice server, but food took 45 plus minutes. It was not hot or fresh when served. Risoto cake was nothing but fried cheese, not good. Grouper was somewhat tough and dry. Wife's salad and chicken was decent, but at a cost of $24 way overpriced. We will not be returning.

    The view and visible quality of the restaurant is outstanding. Complimentary valet parking staff is great, but valet parking is un necessary and feels awkward for setting. Hostess kind, professional - overall outstanding. Food was good, but not great, Cobia fish over seasoned, Red Snapper good, but not great. Salads very good. Fresh bread and honey butter outstanding. Wait staff was kind, positive, and professional. Dish timing was all off with meals coming out at various times. One of our friends received her forgotten chowder as everyone else was finishing their meal. Am hopeful this is all just growing pains of opening a new restaurant.

    We had the Saturday night special, Prime Rib. It was delicious as was the roasted oyster appetizer. Cocktails were well prepared. Service was on point.

    First time visiting Navarre and we were looking for good fish and steak and a good atmosphere. We ate on the enclosed patio and it was perfect. Our server was a little slow on bringing us some items, but I think he was working in both the dining room and patio. Steaks were cooked perfectly and were flavorful. Lobster Tail was dry, which was a little disappointing. Overall, we recommend this restaurant and will be back on our next visit.

    Had dinner tonight and was definitely not impressed. Ordered oysters twice never got them. Food was mediocre. My grouper was dry/overcooked. The service was beyond slow. $200 for three people down the drain. Won’t be back.

    For $30 we got a bottle of Andre and 3 juices in shot glasses that wouldn’t pour into our glasses for mimosas. The pineapple juice was rancid…. The fresh fruit eventually arrived but not with the initial order of beverages. We ordered 4 kids meals, rec’d 3 so had to wait longer for that. Children could not have French fries with their meals, so it was the same Great Value brand frozen potatoes with peppers and onions they served as their “breakfast potatoes” on the brunch menu and they were dreadful. Chicken and waffles were ok but definitely not prepared by their kitchen and seeing the breakfast potatoes served to others, I chose fresh fruit which ended up also a mistake because it consisted of a few pieces of cantaloupe and canned mixed fruit, I can only assume was also great value brand. While our reservations were at 11 am just when they opened, they were “out” of rye bread so we opted for white. Our toast never came… I was truly disappointed. Coming from AZ to spend the holiday with family we carefully selected this steakhouse, as we had dined there last year. We searched the menu and decided it had enough options for all of us. We didn’t realize they would only offer a limited menu, as it was not posted on their website. Our bill totaled over $250 for four adults and four kids and a true disappointment. Everyone was very kind but you can’t serve frozen food at this price point… people expect and deserve much better…
