    Excellent service from Hunter and a really great experience overall! The Shrimp Cocktail is phenomenal and so is the Ahi Poke. We also love the sweet corn hush puppies. My kids had never tried them and they love them!

    We really enjoyed our meal and desserts at The Grand Marlin. The service was also excellent. Crab Cakes and the Grouper Picatta were our favorite meals of the week, and both found here at the Grand Marlin. The appetizers were okay, so I'd save room for more of the main course and desserts next time. We splurged on desserts, with Key LIme pie and the Bread Pudding being outstanding choices. The brownie with ice cream was also very good, just not as special as the other two. We enjoyed bar drinks, and an after dinner cocktail. This was a quiet restaurant with nice views of the water. The upstairs area had the best views, but we were a little chilly so opted to eat in the main dining area. I'd love to try the upstairs next time when it's warmer. We highly recommend this delicious restaurant if you're looking for a little more upscale dining experience. A higher price tag comes with it, but I believe it to be worth it.
