The Grand Marlin Restaurant features a main dining area with a shucked to order oyster bar, exterior North Drop Bar overlooking Grand Lagoon, and private meeting rooms. This Panama City Beach restaurant, with an air of island casualness, serves the highest-quality cuisine, including the freshest local seafood featured on menus designed and printed daily to take advantage of the local bounty. The atmosphere creates a fusion of the Caribbean and the Panama City Beach Area. Corporate Executive Chef Gregg McCarthy has a passion for great-tasting food and particularly loves working his culinary magic with fresh Gulf Coast seafood. Boaters and beach-goers feel comfortable in shorts and flip-flops at the oyster bar, in the dining room and at the North Drop Bar. The Grand Marlin has a space and atmosphere for all occasions and is looking forward to creating an authentic experience between time and tide.

    The Grand Marlin beat any of my expectations. But the way, the tuna dip was OUTSTANDING...far better than anticipated. I only wish I knew how good and would have ordered two. My grouper was well presented, excellent proportion and very fresh. This, if I were local, would be my go to place to eat with friends and family.

    We enjoyed a wonderful meal (best of our trip) at Sunset. We go on Sunday to get the amazing prime rib. Grouper Picatta is our second favorite. Leave room for homemade desserts. Everything was amazing!
