Fish Out of Water: Upscale Seafood Lounge in Santa Rosa Beach

Highly recommend. Excellent service from Alex. Very attentive. Food flavors very good. Grilled chicken breast w gravy very good. Portion could be a bit larger and lose the bone. Drinks were also top notch. Ambiance is very good, great views of gulf/skyline. Parking available, had to call to figure it out. Will return.

This place was incredible. Wasn’t there for drinks and happy hour prices were really good and reasonable had an incredible view. One of the best restaurants on the water in 30 a. Highly recommend it happy hour. I had some really good deals little limited.

The food was delicious. I got the crispy chicken with Brussels sprouts + Mac and cheese (the Brussels sprouts were the best I’ve ever had). The steak was so tender and delicious. The drinks were great. And overall a good price for everything. The service was great and they were very attentive and kind. Highly recommend this place.

This place is beautiful and the view itself is worth some of the food not being that good. I had the shrimp and grits and it was very weird. It wasn’t bad, but also wasn’t amazing - S&G have to be amazing. It was tomatoy and had some pieces of meat, not what I’m used to, specially compared to what you get in NOLA. Our waiter was a little bad too. She would disappear at times and we had to wait a looong time to ask for something. The bartender was great. The rest of the food my group ordered was very good-hush puppies were super tasty. I recommend this place. The service and the food not being what I expected I think is a minor thing that just needs some adjustments. Thank you for your attention to this matter TFP

My husband and I stayed at the Watercolor Inn resort. It was absolutely amazing. My husband and I celebrated are honeymoon here. And I'm thankful. My husband is going through what no one should have to go through. He was in the Navy for 5 years and obtained a brain tumor. And we're fighting right now.

David was a phenomenal waiter. Very kind, quick, and knowledgeable! Food was really good and the view was gorgeous! Our party of 7 was seated outside immediately. Love that they had a little kid area if you were to have to wait.

Dinner was delicious! I had the coconut crusted halabet and my husband had the herb crusted chicken. Both were absolutely delicious! Our families had the red snapper, the shrimp and crab cake plate and the Mediterranean salad. They all raved about the dishes! Key lime pie was amazing! Try with a sweet vanilla wafer crust and vanilla bean whipped cream - delicious!

Fish Out of Water is one of the best spots on 30A for an upscale yet relaxed meal. The views of the Gulf are incredible and the atmosphere feels both refined and welcoming. The staff is attentive and professional and the service matches the quality of the food. Post church Sunday brunch here is the best with fresh dishes beautifully prepared and served with genuine hospitality. It draws a high clientele that appreciates great food great views and an easy coastal vibe that never feels pretentious.
