Great food and service with a view. Staff is friendly and great to work with for allergies. All our food tasted delicious and came out quickly. Will definitely eat here again.

Wow. I tried the Original Snapper. It. Was. Amazing. The combination of flavors... a little sweet, a little smoky, a little rich, a little salty. Fish was cooked perfectly. This dish something I will be dreaming about until I make my way back to Destin. Bravo! The gumbo was good too. Tried the Alabama Feta dip and enjoyed that as well. All the food we had seemed fresh and prepared with care. Service was great at the bar and at the table. This may be my new favorite restaurant in the area. Will definitely return. There might be a wait, but it's worth it.

To quote my husband, “I’ll wait an hour to eat here again.” Perspective, we came yesterday and there was an hour wait . We left, but asked host when was there a better time to come back? He told us to come back at four o’clock the next day and he was right. We waited 15 minutes. The food was amazing and worth every minute of any wait time!!!!!! The green tomato crab cake was completely out of this world and highly recommend for everyone!!!!

Stopped in for lunch before Thanskgiving with my mom. Everything was fabulous. The view, the food and especially the service was exceptional. Our server, Elizabeth, gave us great recommendations and went over the menu in detail. We shared crab claws and the Snapper Destin. The best seafood dish we've ever had. I appreciated the staff accommodating my mom's limited mobility. I am a local and this is by far my favorite restaurant. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Boshamps was absolutely phenomenal. The service is superb and the food just outstanding. We started with a sample of the oysters. Oysters Boshamp, oysters Bienville and Oysters Rockefeller. The Bienville Oysters were my favorite. I forgot to take photos of the entree's and desserts but everything was delicious. The staff is just amazing I would highly recommend this place. We were lucky we went during off season in Destin so we didn't have to wait to get in. I would recommend getting there early as it fills up quickly. Great place to experience!! Top Tier restaurant!

Had a local recommend this place while visiting for a bachelorette party and it surely did not disappoint! Food was excellent and service was on point (shoutout to Gavin!). We got raw and baked oysters, crab dip appetizer, the ribeye and the pan roasted grouper. Everything’s was 10/10!

Reservations not accepted, unfortunately. However, we were able to get in around 8:15pm on a Tuesday and were seated at "the best table" according to the young man that sat us (patio corner with enclosure). Beautiful setting! Our Server "Nico" was amazing! She was very personable, helpful and accommodating. We enjoyed the snapper dish, fish platter (grouper/snapper), mac/cheese and fried green tomatoes. Our beverages - seasonal mule, "day at the beach" and "beautiful disaster" were all well crafted.

The photos don’t do this place justice. All the staff were incredibly friendly, happy, and very attentive. We ordered the Corn and Crab Chowder and it was delicious, the small portion is perfect for one person. Then we ordered the Pan-Sautéed Gulf Snapper to share, and it was a lot of food; honestly, I think it’s enough even for three people. It was AMAZING, everything was truly delicious. A great experience overall. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place.
