The Grand Marlin Restaurant features a main dining area with a shucked to order oyster bar, exterior North Drop Bar overlooking Grand Lagoon, and private meeting rooms. This Panama City Beach restaurant, with an air of island casualness, serves the highest-quality cuisine, including the freshest local seafood featured on menus designed and printed daily to take advantage of the local bounty. The atmosphere creates a fusion of the Caribbean and the Panama City Beach Area.

    Atmosphere was definitely heavily touristy and noise level was extremely loud. Our server (Kimberly) was friendly, efficient, and professional. The food was just okay. Nothing was great.

    Great ambience, good food. Service was average. Great live backgound music. Good choices for a brunch menu, but would suggest a regular bacon/sausage, eggs, toast, & potato choice as well Excellent place to take guests from out of town.

    My steak was Not seasoned, no taste, it arrived with unseasoned green beans and a few over cooked fingerling potatoes , $48 ripoff, my daughter had Lobster fingers again tasteless. The Calamari was mixed with fried peppers, more peppers than calamari. Of the 7 people only one said their main course was OK. Would not recommend, go to Hunts in St.Andrews, much better food and atmosphere. Overpriced!!!
