Emerald Grande - Destin

We enjoyed the restaurant food, service, and the view of Destin harbor can't be beat! The entire staff was very professional. The food was gourmet quality and the prices were reasonable for what you get. We watched the Poker Run boats parade by while dining. Can't get better than I posted my pleasure on FB!

We were on vacation in Destin, FL and didn't know where to grab a bite to eat at. I decided to open my app, OpenTable and on the Harbor was the first restaurant in the list. After looking at the photos and the menu we decided to give it a try. First off our waitress Laura was phenomenal! I dine out a lot and know great service when I see it! Laura definitely has it! While on our way to the restaurant we noticed a bunch of traffic going into the direction of the restaurant. Once we got closer we noticed people were parking and walking across the street might I add. Of course we eventually found out why so many people were heading into that direction and to our surprise it was a firework show happening that night and we were right on time for it! Talk about making our night! The restaurant is located on the second floor overlooking the harbor. Couldn't ask for a better atmosphere! We had the perfect view of the fireworks right from our table. We got seated at and the show started at There is also a balcony to step outside and view them as well. on the Harbor is definitely a hot spot! Great food, great service, great atmosphere! If you go, ask to be seated in Laura's section. I guarantee you won't be disappointed! Her attention to detail and service is impeccable!

Quite a fantastic restaurant. Wonderful food, super service and lovely ambiance with a great view. What more can you ask for.

My wife and I went here for our anniversary dinner. I was able to request a scenic table. When we arrived we were seated in one of the best locations it was also away form other people for awhile. The spacing allowed us to talk and not be interrupted by other tables as the restaurant filled up. The staff was very friendly and gave very good recommendations of daily specials and appetizers and desserts. I understand that they will only be open durning tourist season. As a local I wish they would open year round.

Well where to start DO NOT try to go from San Destin to the Harbor on Thursday night!! It took hours to get there (left at for reservation) then there was NO PARKING had to valet park across the street at McGuire's. Luckily they were not booked-up so, they held our reservation until But once our order was put in it took mins to get the appetizers and more to get the main course so our planned food was there at just after not all the fault though, but, they were understaffed to serve about of the tables. If you stay anywhere CLOSE GO it is the BEST FOOD EVER!!
