"Most everyone that knows me knows I have an ability to immediately spot anything that should not be there that is improper I very rarely go into a restaurant to where they do everything right my first visit was a plus the people were friendly the service was excellent the food was fantastic the prices were reasonable if it was anything negative about the restaurant I would share it right now but so far I have not found one thing" - Darrell M

"Amazing quality, perfect quantity, and fantastic service! The perfect date night out, beautiful view included!" - Amy F

"Excellent service, food, and atmosphere. The server was warm and personable, and professional, knowledgeable, and efficient (Jackie, if memory serves). I had the Tuesday special of filet mignon and fresh crab cake, served with whipped potatoes and thin green beans, and I ordered a glass of Prosecco. Lovely dinner cooked perfectly; the crab cake was made of large pieces of sweet lump crab and light seasonings with the tiniest bit of bread crumbs to barely hold it together. I believe it was served on a light beurre blanc sauce. Our table shared appetizers of smoked tuna and also barbequed shrimp, both delicious. We also shared key lime pie which was a delicate lime mousse in a macadamia-graham crust with raspberry coulis--outstanding. My spouse had the salmon--"Loved and Rubbed" as it stated on the menu--and he proclaimed it the best he'd ever eaten. Two others at our table had the Grouper Piccata. It was a generous piece of true grouper, and even the capers in the traditional piccata sauce were crispy-fried! Another at our table ordered Shrimp Fettuccine and the shrimp were huge and tender (he shared). The atmosphere and vibe: friendly, casual yet upscale, lots of fresh blues and silver accents. There's a water feature in front of the restaurant with a giant metal fish mounted in front of iridescent tiles which mimic the shine of a fish--I found this particularly lovely. Next time--and there will be many visits--we're planning to arrive earlier to watch the sunset over the water. Five stars! No complaints or problems whatsoever! Thank you to all who made our first experience at The Grand Marlin wonderful and memorable!" - Denise S

"We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with really nice atmosphere , food and.experience is what you would hope for when looking for that go to place. We started with their crab cake, their specialty the best we ever had, on a bed of this crazy good relish. These are absolutely a must try! ! Their lobster has the most delicious infused key lime butter....that puts a Florida spin that is so deliciously unique to the pallet. I wish salads and bread were included but their kale ceaser did not disappoint. Desert was soooo good save room! ! It's expensive for us locals but worth the special night out. This is our new favorite place. If we can stay up late or if they offer lunch we will come mid week for the specials. Great job Grand Marlin you really have the whole package...Superb food, great atmosphere and friendly service, a phenomenal dining experience." - Cindy S

"Our third time there for dinner, and every time was excellent. Had the Tuesday "surf n turf" special. Every bite was delicious! But the service was just as good as the food. Everything was served on time, and our waiter expertly answered all the questions we had about some of the entrees. Can't wait to go back!" - Kathy M
