"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
