My husband & I ate dinner at Pandora’s on Saturday night with three friends of ours and Alan was our waiter. Not only was he professional and kind, he was attentive to our needs, making sure we had everything for a superb dining experience. We all thought our meals were delicious and each course arrived at the table at the perfect time. This has been my favorite restaurant because the atmosphere is unique and quaint, the music delightful, the food is the excellent, and to top it off, the best waiter I’ve ever had in any restaurant in 45 years!!

My family had a great experience at Pandora’s. We went at 6 pm on a Saturday night, and service was prompt and polite. Our glasses never went empty, and we were addressed frequently by the staff. I have to suggest the filet cooked medium, with twice baked potato. The steak is pricey, but worth every penny.

Back in January of 1983 while on our Honeymoon we happened upon Pandora’s Steak House. That was 33 years ago and we have never missed a year yet of our favorite place to eat while in Florida.
The Food and Service outstanding, atmosphere warm & welcoming ., but the owners & staff top it off with making you feel like family .
When looking for a great dining experience, please try this great restaurant, it’s our favorite place to dine.

Prime rib was poor quality (50% fat) and tasteless. Received 4 shrimp for $25 and everyones meal was not hot. My wife has lived here more than 50 years and we expected a better quality product. Unfortunately, we will never go back…very disappointing quality of food. Quality of food is better at Long Horns and Outback. I should have read the other reviews before eating here. Waiter was just “okay”.

Pandora’s hasn’t been in business as long as they have by accident! This place is 1st class. You can expect a little older crowd, but professionalism and quality should also be expected.
I have been to this restaurant over 50 times in the past 12 years. I have gone for pleasure and also held dozens of business meetings and functions in the private room.
In short, if you’ve never tried this restaurant, you should! Especially if you like filet mignon at a very reasonable price.
Enjoy!

Made reservations on New Years Eve for 9pm. We were seated and ordered our drinks and appetizer ( Crab and Asparagus ) soup which was amazing! Next we ordered out Main Entrees and this is where it got interesting. I ordered the Peppercorn Ribeye that was there featured special. The lady ordered the trigger fish that was on their middle special section as well. Dinner arrived in a timely manner but the quality and taste was not there like previous experiences. The steak was cooked a bit more than medium rare as ordered , and it seemed like a very poor cut of meat. The trigger fish seemed to be a bit hard and not very warm. I am aware the cost or meat is high at the moment, and im hoping they arent settling for the less expensive cuts to keep profit margins up! For a $100 dinner I was expecting much more. Not sure we will return to the restaurant.

We have been going to Pandoras for the last 10 years. Last 4 years I have gotten the Playground Corvette Club there for our yearly dinner. Never had a problem and Monte has always done a good job. The waiters we get are same ones and are great with big groups. Prime Rib is what I always get awesome. Sorry for your loss Monte.

Had dinner with my family last night. I had the Caesar’s Salad and Crab and Asparagus Soup. The soup was delicious; but, the Caesar’s Salad may have been the worst I have ever tasted. The lettuce was some sort of mix that had some type of dark, flat leaf lettuce that was very tough (not crispy). The lettuce, overall, was certainly not the crisp, tender romaine that I am used to and was expecting. The dressing was some sort of Caesar’s, I suppose…..but, it had a very unusual, unpleasant taste. My granddaughter had the same opinion of the salad. Her’s was ordered topped with chicken and she did not like the chicken, either.
On a more positive note, my husband and daughter really enjoyed their Delmonico Steaks and the fresh-baked bread was delicious. My daughter was very disappointed, however, in the very limited choices of wine by the glass. If I’m correct, there were only about 4 or 5 choices. For a restaurant that boasts highly of their wine selection, this was a little hard to believe. She was the only person in the group ordering wine; so, she certainly should not be expected to order a full bottle to enjoy the wine of her choice.
John was our server and did an excellent job (though I could have done without some of his “cutesy” ad libbing).
This was not our first visit to the Ft. Walton or the Grayton Beach locations. We have been to the Grayton Beach restaurant many times and enjoyed our meals very much. I guess I’ll just have to make a point to avoid the Caesar’s Salad.

First and last time going to Pandora’s. Service was very good, however, the food was underwhelming. Of the three meals ordered, both steaks were tender but one steak had to be returned 2 times to get it cooked correctly and neither steak had any flavor (salt!). Pork chops were unevenly cut – one was thin and the other moderately cut. The only thing you could taste was smoke – once again, no flavor (salt!). I spoke with the manager and he said he was sorry and walked off. He might have been sorry but he sure didn’t care. Total waste of $96.

Old school steakhouse in Ft. Walton Beach. Beautiful wood finishes and celebrity memorabilia from years of hosting same. Our meal was very good, had the smoked triggerfish topped with grilled shrimp, delicious. Had the King Estate Pinot noir, perfect. Finally, the service was exceptional. Professional wait staff who put their heart into making your experience perfect. I can’t wait to return.
