Service was outstanding. Food was great. Honestly one of the best dinning experiences we have had in a long time. The staff is fantastic. Food was seasoned very well and cook wonderfully. Again I can’t stress enough how great and attentive the staff is. In a poor service world we live in. This place is a gem.

Food was cold and not the best. The crab cake and salad was unacceptable. The fries were greasy and cold. The steak was one that could be bought at Walmart and cooked; however, it was edible.

We had oysters and a cup of she crab soup for appetizers both of which were amazing. My husband had the shrimp pesto pasta which he absolutely loved while I had salmon which was just okay. Our server, Zack, was very attentive and professional, you think you’re eating at a fine dining establishment!

We have been coming to The Grand Marlin for many years now, and it’s just always a pleasure. We get a booth right at the corner you could see the dock. The service is exceptional. The food is great and I get the best margarita that I ever have had there, we especially love the lobster fingers

Spent our Anniversary here and Luke took good care of us. Food, well plated and delicious. Customer service was excellent. We had a 4pm dinner appointment so it was still quiet. Manager came by and inquired our status. It would’ve been a 5* if she had introduced herself though.

My partner and I arrived and were immediately greeted with a friendly front desk staff. Hunter was our server and he was very well versed on the menu and his suggestions were absolutely spot on. We had the bbq oysters topped with bacon, the grouper piccata, and the fried seafood dinner. Everything was so good and our sides paired well with our respective dish. The drinks were also really good. We had a delicious complimentary dessert as well to celebrate our anniversary. I would definitely come back again.

A tale of 2 entrees. I had the Parmesan crusted grouper with sautéed spinach and whipped potatoes Excellent! Cooked perfectly and extremely flavorful. Unfortunately, my wife's entrée of Shrimp and Grits was a total miss. The meal was promptly removed from the bill and we still received the evening wine special. Service was very good and the proprietor was very apologetic. I am chalking this up to sometimes , things happen.

It was a slow Tuesday night with crummy weather, but that made for a light crowd, which made for excellent and fast service. The food was a mazing and the wine was well priced. This will continue to be one of our go-to restaurants when guests visit from out of town!
