    Great place to celebrate my birthday. Had a table with a view of the whole beach. Started with the seared ahi tuna crisps. For our entrees we both had seafood cioppino. It was wonderful. Generous and varied portion of seafood. Would definitely repeat this order. Our server was attentive and helpful. Relaxing evening. Then we moved outside on the upstairs patio to listen to the amazing Sheena Brook. The acoustics were great and Sheena was entertaining. Great place for special occasions or no occasion at all.

    Peter the owner and his team are fantastic and the food is absolutely stellar. The service was excellent, the food was tasty and hot, the cocktails were tremendous, and I’m so happy they carry Sagamore Rye! Do not pass up on this epic restaurant, A+ all around. Chicken Piccata was amazing, and some fresh made Limoncello to finish the night.

    The perfect place to celebrate a special event or simply dining out. The food and service is fantastic. Bella made sure that we have what we need. The view of the Gulf and watching the sunset as we dine was incomparable to none. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    We always enjoy dining at the Dixie Fish Company. The food, staff, atmosphere and views are all great! I usually get the fresh catch - either in a sand which or plate, but there are plenty of other seafood (and non-seafood) items to select from. They offer a full bar w/ a variety of draft beers as well as bottled beer and wine, etc.). This is a sister property to Doc Ford’s and The Whale. Although the menu items vary, the quality of the food and service don’t; they’re top notch! If you’re looking for a casual venue overlooking the marina/water that serves great food at reasonable prices by a friendly and professional crew, you needn’t look further.
