China Star - Florida Panhandle

I had a gift certificate to use and save it for lunch. I had the Chilean Sea bass with potatoes and sauteed spinach, it was delicious! The manager came out to check me out and apologize for waiting, which didn't matter to me that I wasn't in a hurry. And he told me they had to take it back because the ones they did for me were a little overcooked. When I got my food, it was fabulous as I remember. Excellent service and a great dish I wished only it was a larger part!!!

We absolutely loved this place. The food was quality, delicious and fresh. We went for lunch and ordered lobsters, crabcakes and Florida Cob Salad. Great. The place was clean. The service was attentive and professional. The ambience was pleasant. Everything you could hope for. We would recommend this place to everyone.

What a fun place with staff is great and the food was great. We had a good time caught part of the happy hour with some cheap drinks and our waitress was fantastic. We had the Sirloin with Crab Cakes, who is really good Sirloin was perfectly cooked and a Crab Cakes were good. I had the mahi mahi and shrimp grilled with lemon sauce, which I found very tasty. Definitely will be here again!

Service was great. I love the ambience. Appetizers (Bang-Bang Shrimps and Crabcake) were super delicious. We ordered chickens Marsala, that was very dry.

Nice place for seafood after a day at the Destin Commons. We got there a bit before the evening crowd, but stayed to see people waiting. Anyplace that serves seasoned olive oil with bread gets my attention up front. They were a bit stressed due to slim staffing, but I think they delivered great service anyway. We enjoyed an interesting meal with a variety of fresh ingredients. They remembered to prepare my father in law a “to go” dish that got ready just as we were finishing up! So thankful for that detail. And, its a pleasant yet simple setting.
