The first thing that pleases is parking. And then when you go up to the restaurant... you forget about everything. Incredibly... beautiful view! The atmosphere and interior make your stay comfortable. The waiters are very attentive and skilled. Wereceived our order very quickly. After I tasted the first bite of my fish...I told my husband that I want to stay here) it wasincredibly tasty...without disturbing the taste of the fish...everything was balanced. It was high quality food. It'sincredibly tasty and presentable. The crab was fantastic! We ate food with a great view! And I didn't want to leave thisplace!

Hosted our sons rehearsal dinner at Grand Marlin, Pensacola. Natalie was wonderful to work with. I was stressed b/c we were all... coming from Georgia. She answered every email and ever question timely. The food was outstanding from the appetizers to themain course to dessert, everything was top notch. The staff that worked our event were so attentive, they went way above andbeyond. All our guest loved the whole evening. Thank You Grand Marlin & staff for starting our wedding weekend off in such abeautiful way! Read more

Our group of 8 enjoyed a fantastic dinner out on the veranda. Our corner table had a view of the bay and a nice breeze. We... ordered oysters (which by the way were fantastic. My entree was parmesan crusted grouper and let me tell you... it wassuperb!) Everyone enjoyed the food and drinks. Only one little issue was that after the breeze stopped it got a little warm sowe asked our waiter if they could turn on the wall mount fan that was near our table. He said the fans weren't working. The billfor our table was about $800 (tax & tip included) so hopefully they will get NEW FANS so we can enjoy our outdoor diningexperience in comfort next time. Read more

We went here for our wedding night dinner, and we are from out of town based on a recommendation from a local. Made a... reservation asking for a romantic table with a view, and we got it. Drinks were great, food was great. Local fish caught thatmorning, with lots of options on how it can be prepared; grilled, blackened and fried. After that there’s sauce options, 5-6of them I think. Menu has a lot of other specialty items as well. Randall the server was amazing and all the staff congratulatedus on our marriage. Randall even took photos, and made sure to clear off the table so our dishes weren’t in the pictures! Ontop of that we got offered a free desert for the occasion. Perfect dinner for our perfect day.

This was my first time here. My daughter treated me for mother's Day. We Visited on a Saturday early afternoon and had to wait a... bit but not too long. It's very nice inside and there is also a large seating area outside. Both have views of the Bay. Mydaughter ordered the oyster Rockefeller app and I ordered lettuce wedge with blue cheese. There was scallions and bacon on itaccording to the menu. I asked if I could have it with no bacon and the waitress assured that I could. When the wedge arrived itwas covered with dressing that had bacon pieces in it. I pointed this out and the waitress was accommodating and said she wouldbring one back without bacon. I cannot eat bacon unless it is nitrate free as I get very bad migraines from nitrates. Thewaitress came back and apologized and said it could not be ordered without bacon as the bacon was in the blue cheese dressing. Iasked if there was blue cheese dressing without bacon and she said that there wasn't but she brought back the wedge with Caesardressing on the side and that worked out. There was a lot of blue cheese crumbles and it was very tasty. My daughters app ofoysters was not as good as usual she said as she has ordered them on other occasions. She ordered the red snapper and I orderedfried shrimp that came with coleslaw and french fries for entrees. We we're both satisfied. The shrimp had a light coating on itand had a good flavor. I'm not sure if you can substitute another side for the fries but I definitely would if I could have asthe fries were plentiful but limp with no flavor. The side of coleslaw made up for it as it was delicious. Possibly the bestI've had. I was treated to dessert as well I ordered key lime pie and she ordered like a cake with fruit on it I don't rememberthe name. We split them both and they were definitely the highlight of the dinner. Yum yum yum! Read more
