   Our go to place for special occasions. Everything at the Grand Marlin is spot on! Our waitress made great recommendations. Martinis were cold and the food was hot. We were even given a complementary dessert to celebrate my 60th.

   First of all, the sunset was gorgeous, and we enjoyed it at a table by the window. The lobster finger app with the vanilla mustard sauce is insane. Fresh fish, especially the home town red snapper, is amazing. Caper or creole butter sauces are delicious. Feel free to order all of their sauces on the side. All the desserts are insane. If you are lucky enough to visit Pensacola Beach, you must dine at the Grand Marlin.

   Daniel was a great server. He was most interested in us having a great experience. He insured we had the right wine and discussed it at length. His details on the food was extensive and most helpful. Food was great!

   I was celebrating marriage anniversary and this was my 1st time here. I was with another couple who it was there 2nd time there. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and ambiance. The food: It was good for the most part. I had ordered the Maine scallops. I expected to have at least 6 scallops, but was only given 4. that was a disappointment. My friend ordered the swordfish oreganigata and it was overcooked. We spent well over 300 dollars and well the experience fell short of expectations. it's a great place to eat and would come back i just hope the price you pay matches the food you get and not to overcook fish.

   Upscale but not stuffy. Food is traditional but with an updated touch. Sometimes the sauces/flavored butters overpowered the entree.

   We were greeted as we entered. Very professional young man who asked us where we would like to sit (inside or outside) and where in the dining room would best suit us. Everyone was very professional and polite. Our waiter was wonderful and made suggestions and pointed out the specials. He was very attentive as needed. The food was wonderful and was brought to us by a runner. Again the staff was very pleasant and professional.

    Awesome view, ambience and food but the service was absolutely terrific (Dave, Doug? - apologies). We had the special (swordfish) and the usuals - fried lobster sticks, tater tots, lobster bisque, oysters Rockefeller, blue cheese cover chips, and the smoked tuna spread. All the food was amazing. Great place to enjoy a great meal.

    Fabulous meal! The Grouper Picatta was amazing! We were celebrating a birthday and our anniversary, and the complimentary dessert Praline Bowl made our celebration even more special. Thank you! We enjoyed interacting with our server Sarah who gave great service and made our lunch so much fun.

    When we walked inside the noise level was incredibly loud. I told my wife I felt like it was a cafeteria. We were expecting a nice quiet diner. Other than the noise the experience was good.

    My wife and I chose Grand Marlin for our thirty-third anniversary dinner and was it ever a great decision! I can honestly say that each and every facet of our evening was first rate. Our server, Thomas, was more than helpful in making our menu choices and providing us with first rate service. We have lived in Gulf Breeze for two and one half years now and can honestly say that our dinner was the best we've experienced during that time. We will definitely be back!

    Great food, great service, great ambience. Best restaurant in the Pensacola area that appeals to locals and visitors alike. It is our "go to" place for all special events, and we always take our out-of-town visitors here during their visit. Sunday Brunch is "top shelf." Best "eggs Benedict" and $2 breakfast drinks.

    The Grand Marlin has been our favorite restaurant for years. We usually celebrate birthdays and anniversaries here. Unfortunately, our last two visits have been a let down. The service is really poor, and the food is just not as good as it used to be. The Calamari was Luke warm and greasy, the wine was okay, and the grouper was over cooked and dry. The desert bowl was good.

    Normally our favorite place. Disappointed Seafood Stew tonight. Very brothy and not much seafood. Calamari was chewy. Wife’s swordfish piccata was excellent . Lobster fingers not a good value.

    First time, great first impression. Angel was a great server and knew everything there was to know about the menu. We started with the blue crab claws, great! My wife had the grouper picatta and loved it. I did the chefs special which was mahi mahi. Another great choice. We couldn’t decide on dessert so we took Angel’s advice and tried the Key Lime Pie and also the Strawberry Butter Cake, finished neither but loved them both. Thanks for a great night!

    Grouper Piccatta was wonderful. Best piece of fish I’ve had in the area. Impressively ran with a smart, knowledgeable service team and top notch food. Timing throughout dinner was nearly perfect.

    Outstanding food, service and atmosphere! I brought my out of town brother here and he absolutely loved everything. I had blackened red snapper, he had blackened grilled shrimp, we shared a Jumbo lump crab cake and a wedge salad for appetizers. Finally, our waiter Brian was an excellent server, and truly very friendly and funny!
