Ft.Walton Beach is an absolute gem. Super white beaches and very clear water. Of course this being our first time, and wanting a nice quality seafood dinner, several locals suggested Old Bay Steamer. Nice looking exterior, but that is where the nice ends. We requested a seat on the second level, and there must have been about fifteen kids under the age of seven, running and screaming, while their parents were drinking pitchers(?) of draft beer. When we saw rolls of paper towels on all the tables, we should have taken a clue. While we are not restaurant snobs, we were looking for a quality establishment. A nice server, wearing a ball cap brought our menus. Nothing special, not even red snapper, which is suppose to be the area specialty, wasn't on the menu. Ordered steamed clams in garlic butter, is there any bread for dipping? No! Do we get a salad with our entree, yes, a salad bowl to share, with chopped veggies, with a sweet grammar school cafeteria dressing. I don't want to even discuss my entree of Mahi Mahi. If you can find a Red Lobster near by, run for your life.
Pros: Convient Hotel Location!
Cons: Food! Food! Food! Any lemons for the fish! Are They Expensive Here?
