Graffiti & The Funky Blues Shack

The food was good, but the service was SLOW. Crazy slow.
We’re reasonable about restaurant service being a little slower if they’re busy. This place wasn’t that busy… and we ended up requesting that they box our entrees as a to-​go order after waiting 40 minutes.
The food was great once we took it home, but it wasn’t what we had in mind for a night out.

Super fun, good vibes! Went late night with co-​workers and enjoyed.

Wonderful grouper!!! This is our second time coming here and I will come
Back for this dish EVERY
YEAR!!!

This place had a really nice house of blues type atmosphere. Dinner was really great, I had pork shank, my wife had shrimp and scallop penne. Service was good staff was friendly food was good. Very good beer selection also.

After reading reviews of several Village at Baytowne Wharf restaurants, we selected Graffiti, and were thrilled! We got immediate outdoor seating just in time for an amazing sunset! Bread was served with a wonderful, slightly spicy, oil dipping sauce. Salads with their homemade dressings were very tasty. My mom and I ordered the Hazel Grouper, and really enjoyed it. My husband had the shrimp & scallop low country (with grits) and raved about it, cleaning his plate. Grilled vegetables were fresh and well prepared. Service was absolutely perfect. My daughter loved the food, but especially loved that she had my permission to write on the walls!!! The place is very cool and quirky, with a funky elevator to the 2^nd floor. This was a huge hit for all — great view, fabulous food, wonderful service! Everything around here is pricey, but it felt more worth it here! We would eat here again for sure.

Food was mediocre at best. Service was slower than expected with a half-​full dining room.
The only non-​pasta chicken dish on the menu was breaded and fried.
The seafood sign outside means only salmon, shrimp or scallops with some kind of pasta.

The atmosphere was awesome and the food was great. Being that I love Fried Green Tomatoes their take on them was beyond what I expected and very good! For dinner I had the Wild Buffalo
Meatloaf which was exceptional as well, I meant to snap a picture of it but dove straight in before I could.

I don’t give many 5 star reviews but this place really made it hard to give any less. Atmosphere is great and very interesting with a house of blues kind of feel. It has cool artwork and décor that makes the eating experience one of a kind.
Service– Service was great and it bumped this review up from 4 to 5 stars. The waitress was outstanding and new the menu inside out. She was very nice and welcoming as well.
Food– I recommend the clam chowder, it has a good spicy and creamy flavor to it. I greatly enjoyed the house salad with balsamic. The key to a good salad is providing mixed greens instead of the typical iceberg lettuce. The creamy balsamic is a nice addition as well as some hot pepper. For an entrée, I had the Shrimp and Scallop Penne dish. It consisted of a white wine creamy garlic sauce. The scallops and shrimp were cooked to perfection and had a very nice almost grilled flavor. The scallops melted in my mouth. They made the dish. Washed everything down with a tall glass of Sweet Iced Tea. Loved this place and I will be back for sure.

I would highly recommend this place for some live music and drinks, however I cannot say that I’ve ever walked away and thought… damn that was amazing.
Is is worth checking out if you’re in Baytowne: Absolutely
Is it worth driving onto the resort for just this bar: Meh

My SO, cousin, and cousin’s wife came here for dinner after the Sandestin Triathlon. We were walking around the Baytowne Wharf area and this looked like the best place to stop in and eat. The menu seemed like it would please everyone, and the food did not let down!
We started with two appetizers. First, I immediately ordered the fried green tomatoes, which came covered (I mean COVERED!) in crawfish and crabmeat, with a garlic cream sauce. This plate was delicious. Then we ordered the fried calamari, which came with a spicy marinara that was very yummy. The bowl of calamari seemed to have a lot of loose fried batter, but I had no complaints about that!
My SO and I both wanted drinks, but she wasn’t sure what she might like. So she asked if they made any fruit mojitos and the waitress went to check. She came back and cycled through some options: «blood orange, lemon, strawberry, black raspberry-​» «Black Raspberry,» she said. Since she wasn’t sure if she’d like it, I held off ordering a drink until she got hers. When it arrived (in a pint glass!), we both tasted it, and both loved it. So I ordered another one for myself!
Now to the main course. I ordered the panneed chicken, which came with veggies and garlic mashed potatoes. My SO got the chicken parmesan. My cousin got the buffalo meatloaf wrapped in bacon, and his wife also got the chicken parm. I was incredibly pleased with my chicken, which came covered in a lemon caper butter sauce, and I cleaned my plate. My SO got full before she could finish, so I had some of her chicken and pasta too. I also got a taste of the meatloaf, which was interesting, but still pretty good. I left the place feeling overstuffed, but satisfied to the max. If I ever stay in the Sandestin Resort again, I’ll definitely try to come back here.

Service. 4 stars

Great meal. Overall it’s pricey but that’s the gulf experience everywhere.
However I’m not sure I’d call it a seafood place. It’s more of a New Orleans meets Italian with a few seafood dishes thrown in. Meals are heavy. Not a place to go for protein and lite feel!!!
Really cool place. Local art and paintings lined the walls.
Food: everyone raved about the fried green tomatoes and they’re right. They were amazing — topped with crawfish and crab meat. Very Unique! Fried green tomatoes are not easy to do well because they normally are mushy. These were great. Very crisp.
I had pecan honey glazed Grouper. It was fantastic. My wife had chicken parmesan and said it was super.
The risotto was great.
The best thing and the greatest surprise believe it or not was the bread! Like many Italian restaurants they will bring a little oil and cracked pepper for dipping. This has a bit of red pepper mixed in it and I’m telling you it was addictive. Simple but memorable.
Would absolutely eat there again.
