    Fantastic dining across all culinary areas. Our waiter explained the menu in detail to include information outside the menu applicable to our meal. Chef’s attention to detail, creativity, and taste were impeccable! The chef also took time to visit our table asking for our feedback and offering a test dessert for the upcoming holiday. Lastly, the flavors and taste of each aspect of our meal courses were exquisite! The wagyu beef was sensational, cooked perfectly with its heavy fatty-meat transition. Very tasty flavor hints within the fluffed garnish greens and overlapping the avocado slices in the lobster-shrimp salad were a very nice touch! The Bonsai is a unique high-end Japanese sushi restaurant that caters to a niche palate and wallet. I highly recommend Bonsai to visitors of Pensacola and the beach looking for a unique classy flavorful dining venue!

    What a perfect experience. Drift was clean with perfect lighting and enjoyable views. Our server, Bailey, was all about making our dining pleasurable with professional service. We met the Chef who was very gracious and determined to insure a wonderful dinner. Drift is now my number one dining destination at Pensacola Beach.
