The Grand Marlin

August 31, 2025

We were seated upstairs with an awesome view of the marina. Our server, Chris, was awesome! He answered all our questions and made great recommendations. The food was fantastic! I had the grouper piccata and it was so good! The crust was amazing! My husband had the friend lobster and he loved it, too! Try them, you will not be disappointed!

First time here. Kayla was our server and was fantastic! We had the hush puppies to start. One of us had the gumbo and then the Swordfish Oreganata. Other person had the Caesar salad and Grouper Piccata. We had the Pecan Basket for dessert. There are berries as well but one person does not like them so they put them the side. The food was amazing. I am not a seafood person but the grouper meal was fantastic!! Get the dessert you won’t regret it. We did make reservations.

Came for a birthday celebration and left happy and full of good food! The grouper piccata lived up to the hype and the snapper with creole mustard sauce was *chefs kiss*! We also tried the calamari which was AMAZING, the hush puppies that got mixed reviews (dry & flavorless but the butter was good) and the she-crab soup (which was nothing to write home about- tasted more like clam chowder by Campbell’s). Hannah was a fantastic waitress, very polite and kind, and even offered a birthday dessert on her! We got to sit by the window and watch the boats by the dock and pelicans. Would definitely recommend!

After enjoying our wild dolphin excursion, we were ready for a great meal. Our captain suggested The Grand Marlin. Upon arrival, we cheerfully said "hello" to the hostess, Natalie. She didn't acknowledge the greeting. She plainly said "how many?" And we gave our party's number and we'd like a table, to which she replied "is the bar okay?" And again, we said 'table' to which we were assigned immediately. After this very lukewarm introduction, we weren't sure how the evening would play out. Our table was served by Nicole. She was OUTSTANDING!! She knew the menu intimately and after getting our individual likes made suggestions that were spot on. I had the tuna steak, a wedge of salad, truffle fries, and more. The blue dirty contained hand-stuffed blue cheese olives. It was delicious. A huge shout-out to Nicole for saving the evening.

Food was amazing!!!!!! Some of the best fish I’ve ever had. Grouper piccata was delicious, as well as the salmon. Blue crab claws were tasty but the portion was small for the price. Views on the top deck were very cool. Great view of the marina and perfect place to watch sunset. My favorite thing was the TGM Signature Praline Basket… one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Service was ok. Bar staff wasn’t the nicest and our server was cold, but food made up for that.
