    We've always enjoyed the food and ambiance at Marina Cafe. Unfortunately, the last time we entered a little later in the evening, we were totally ignored and no one even spoke to us. We left without being seated. Really disappointed. I'm still giving it 4 stars based on many previous visits. Just hoping this doesn't happen to someone else.

    One of the best meals we have had collectively as a family. The group cheeks and the scallops and egg plant appetizers were both fabulous. We also had the grouper, swordfish, shrimp and grits, redfish and scallops. All were excellent and well prepared, but I think they fresh fish dinners were the best of the best. The coconut cream pie for dessert was the best I have ever had. If we are ever in Destin again our family would choose The Marina as their number one choice to go back to.

    I’d say this is the best restaurant in Destin. The food was fresh and delicious. Presentation was beautiful. We were pleasantly surprised by their two for one dinners prior to 6 pm. The grilled grouper special was wonderful. Their crabmeat eggplant appetizer was very tasty. Request a table for the sunset. They had a really nice bar as well.

    I am a local - well at least for the past 8 years! Came here often - there are lots of great dining places in Destin and area. Marina was lways great and a favorite, and we went this past week for a birthday. It HAS been a while, though. Service was great. Great food. We all had great time. Deal with the 2-for-1 entrees and early-bird 1/2 price drinks at the bar is really exceptional. So, yes. This rather nice restaurant has good dels for those who eat early!!! Thanks.
