It's in a little dock with inside and outside seating. We chose outside by the water with a view. The waitress was nice, I think a little slower with drinks than we like and didn't refill my drink, but she did a good job. My husband ordered a grouper meal and we ordered salads. The shaker salad and my salad had fruit and pecans with feta cheese. My husband raved over this fish! He said it was the most tender, white, seasoned fish he has ever had. The salads were delicious also. Plain with great dressings but very filling. Their Mac -N-Cheese was phenomenal. It had the best cheesy flavors and a little crust on top. It was almost as good as my homemade mac n cheese haha ! It is pretty expensive. My salad was 15 dollars and my husband's dish was 40.00. It was really delicious and worth it though.

Well this was a surprise!! Don't sleep on Boshamps! This is ONE of the BEST meals of our lives. My wife and I went because we wanted to get a little fresh seafood while at the beach... but we never expected that we'd have such an amazing meal. The Oysters Rockefeller to start... followed by the pan seared Snapper... and the Snapper Destin. Wow, just wow! Not to mention the atmosphere is fantastic, we ate at the bar because the wait was a couple hours (totally worth the wait) and the service was great!! If you miss this place, you're gonna kick yourself and it won't be my fault!

Huge crowd with a 3 HOUR wait but we had heard great things so we headed to the outside bar and guess what....there were 2 seats just for us no waiting necessary! Sierra (I hope I remembered her name), was an excellent bar tender and server! We had the cornmeal grouper pecan and the Boshamps basket! Perfectly seasoned seafood and a really good daiquiri and mule with a souvenir cup made for a great night overlooking the harbor! Most definitely returning next time we're in Destin!

Debated if I wanted to try the catch of the day but I am glad I did! So delicious! The service was great and the views were amazing. Little bit of a wait but totally worth it. Definitely get there earlier than 6pm typically an hour wait or so.

Spent the week in the Santa Rosa, Destin area and let me say Boshamps was the best restaurant we visited! We came on a busy Thursday for my birthday dinner, the drive was 45 minutes alone then we waited another hour to hour and 45 minutes, but it was sooo worth it. It was still busy when we got seated, and it was after closing time, but the service never changed. I didn't catch our waiters name but his recommendations and service were top tier! Per his recommendations we got the cooked oysters with the cheese and bacon jam (forgot the menu name), tuna dip and spinach dip. All 3 were DELICIOUS! The oysters knocked our socks off, especially mine as I don't even like oysters! They were amazing. The tuna dip was so fresh and tasty as well as the spinach and artichoke dip. We got the top 2 fish entrees and the pasta was so delicious. I hate that I can't remember the menu names, but trust when I say this place is worth the hype! Will definitely be visiting again every time I'm in Destin.

I have traveled and ate at many restaurants. This by far was one of my favorite ones! Food Everything we had was amazing. We were told the chicken come from a farm close by never frozen and you could definitely tell. All the food we tried was so fresh and seasoned. I can't even choose a favorite because everything was just that good! Service We went on a Sunday evening and there was about an hour wait. However , they had three bars you can order at and we immediately got to sit there which was great because we were starving. Sierra was our bartender and she was AMAZING very attentive, knowledgeable of the menu , and so kind. She even let us try both soups to see which one we wanted. Ambiance This is a very casual outing. If you're on a beach trip and want to dress up for dinner here you wouldn't be out of place. Side note: there is valet parking

This place is beyond delicious- it's right on the water and has ample seating inside and out. Outdoor seating leads down to the water which is awesome. The restaurant was filling pretty fast when we came in on a Tuesday for dinner. We arrived around 4:30 and were seated about 15 minutes later. We didn't mind the wait as the grounds were beautiful, and they have a cute shop inside the restaurant that you can peek into. The food was beyond amazing- literally every single dish made my taste bud dreams come true! I started with Deedee's strawberry lemonade which was delicious. Not overly sweet which I loved. For dinner we shared the fried green tomato BLT salad. I loved it so much I want more right now!!!! The lettuce was crisp, it had cucumber, radish, and two perfectly fried green tomatoes on top. It was amazing!!! It was hard for me to share because I wanted it all for myself. It came with a lovely ranch dressing that was more liquidy which I absolutely loved! Pan sautéed gulf snapper was heavenly- the fish was cooked perfectly and the pasta was absolutely delicious! Off the docks catch of the day- grouper cooked to perfection. It was moist and delightful. The grits were also so amazing and such a fun twist on traditional grits. We will absolutely return next time we are in town. The only downside is valet parking is not a smooth transition- for arrival or departure. I'm hoping they work this out in the future.
