    We kept hearing about Oso at Bear Point Marina and how it was one of the places we had to visit. After our first visit I have to admit that we were crazy not to have visited the first time we heard about the restaurant.

    This Bear Point Marina restaurant offers an eclectic, fun menu with fantastic cocktails. All while looking out over the marina and water.

    There is something for everyone on the menu. If you are looking for great food with a view and a local favorite, this is an Orange Beach restaurant you do not want to miss.

    Make sure to ask what the fish of the day is! My husband loves the red snapper sandwich and would happily visit daily to enjoy it.

    He said it is one of the best fish sandwiches he has had in Gulf Shores or Orange Beach. It was so flaky the fish kept falling off the bun.

    Indoor Seating

    There is comfortable indoor seating with tables for small and larger groups. If you are someone who gets cold quickly, I would bring a light sweater or sweatshirt with you.

    There are multiple ceiling fans running inside, which can make it a bit chilly depending on the weather.
