Food scene
This is my favorite restaurant! I like to sit in the bar area for a beautiful water bay view and watch the pelicans and fishing charters come in! They are very talented in the creativity and preparation of their fresh fish - shell fish too! Make reservation at Open Table to avoid the wait.

Firefly is one of the hottest restaurants in Panama City Beach. An ultra-fine dining experience spearheaded by Dave Trepanier and Chef Rob Burgess, Firefly is chic and romantic. You can dine by an old oak tree, strings of soft lights wound around its aged trunk. The mood is seductive and dazzling, perfect for a date night. The She-crab soup appetizer is hugely popular, a rich start to your dinner. For a more casual experience and no reservations, sit at the bar for your dinner! Delicious! The champagne is ice cold!

Everyone loves Saltwater Grill! They are known for their creative seafood dishes and large saltwater fish aquarium behind the bar. Upscale and a little pricey, but absolutely worth it. I love the Grouper Imperial!

Hammerhead Fred’s always does a good job and remains consistent. Try the baked oyster sampler appetizer, it has a huge “Wow” factor. A dozen assorted baked oysters served perched on a huge piece of driftwood always starts dinner conversation! Their Chargrilled oysters are my favorite. So good!

A recent review: Amazing day on the water! Sea turtles, dolphins, a shipwreck, shell island and a captain the feels like an old friend! Who could ask for more?? Captain Chris has marine biology experience and knowledge of sea life that he uses to teach children and adults about the gulf as we explored beyond the beach! Both teens and younger (6 year olds) had a good time!
