The Gulf on Okaloosa Island

"The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful and the food is amazing!! I went two days in a row. 10/10 experience, I would recommend this place to anyone. The people are so friendly, especially Logan, he did a great job and was super nice !"

"Seafood Bliss by the Sea. The best seafood restaurant by the seaside. From the fresh flavors to the friendly vibes, every moment is a delight. With each bite of Mexican Shrimp and Grits, the chef's special, you'll taste the flavor melody. The atmosphere is alive with laughter and love, making my visit feel like coming home. I had the pleasure of being taken care of by some of the best staff in the industry, such as Mina , Alexis, McKenzie, Quinn and Cameron.The Gulf is a place that offers a warm welcome with a taste of paradise. In short, The Gulf it is a gem. It's where good food, good vibes, and good times meet by the sea. Don't miss out on this seafood haven – it's a five-star experience in every way."

"Great food and good atmosphere when it’s not raining (if you’re sitting outside). Service was good as well for the most part. While staff was friendly and welcoming I just wish they would provide some utensils and napkins when they bring out your order. I had to ask for both because neither the napkins nor a fork came with my sandwich and fries. Otherwise, food was very delicious. I had a grouper sandwich with French fries and it was very tasty. Their prices aren’t necessarily cheap, the sandwich w/fries and a bottle of water cost almost $28(!). Definitely NOT an average amount I would normally spend for lunch but we had a good time with co-workers though while sitting outside enjoying the view by the water before it started to rain. Things to note: - You place your order at the window up front by the entrance - You have to place your alerting number coasters in the middle of your table onto the blue centerpiece - If you need utensils, napkins with your meal you will need to request them as they don’t come with your food (at least it didn’t with mine) or not readily available at the table I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a good seafood combined with great scenic setting. While The Gulf certainly is on the pricier side it also offers a unique experience in its own way. I wouldn’t mind coming back here again."

"Nicole! Super friendly. Knows the menu well. Snapper BLT was excellent , the grouper and Maui tacos are all good. Nicole also makes the best ever margaritas!!! You won't regret coming here. Ask for her!"

"This place was recommended to me by someone working at the hotel. It is mostly outdoors and pet friendly. The view is nice and the people were friendly. Please note you order at the window and they bring it to your table. I was expecting a table service type restaurant atmosphere. The bar is full service so if you sit there you can be served food. They also have a shop if you want to bring a souvenir or t-shirt home."
