One of the best places of our trip, food was top tier and staff was on it. Drinks were great and the view at sunset was well worth the money. The bread pudding for dessert was the perfect way to end the meal and we ended up coming back the next night to get some more 10/10 loved it and would come back next time we are in Florida

Of all the restaurants I’ve ever experienced, the food and service at the Grand Marlin is the very best! The lobster tails and grouper piccata is fantastic. Mary was right on point. She anticipates you every need. It was an excellent experience. Yet again! My husband will drive 3 hours one way just to eat there several times a year.

Wonderful food and lovely drinks. Our server, Sloan, made our night. He never seemed rushed but never overstayed his welcome. We have been a few times but intend to come many more.

Really good food with excellent service. Went for early dinner (5 pm) and so wasn’t crowded. Good prices on seafood, with generous serving sizes.
