We've been coming here almost every year for about 5 years now and it's hands down our most favorite restaurant. The staff are so welcoming and professional. The food is always consistently amazing from taste to presentation. And the water views just bring it all together ❤️ 🤌

This is arguably the best meal you will find in pcb. Every aspect of our experience was absolutely perfect. It was our anniversary so they even went to the extent of printing "Happy Anniversary" with our names on each menu. This is the second location we have visited and we keep coming back for a reason. These people go the extra mile from the kitchen to the hostess to the servers, you name it. Every single employee was happy and greeted us in passing. This one is at the top of my list for this trip. Try the grouper piccata, the grilled scallops if they have them, and the pesto pasta was amazing. If you get seafood, get the brown butter caper sauce with it. The oysters were some of the best we had. The key lime pie is great and also authentic, it isn't too rich or acidic.

My husband and I went to the Grand Marlin for our Anniversary. I had booked the reservation online that morning and indicated that it was our anniversary and that we would like waterside seating. We arrived a half hour early and were greeted by our host staff with a warm welcome as well as happy Anniversary wishes. We were seated in the upper level in the open air dining area with a beautiful view of the harbor. When we looked at the menus, they had printed "Happy Anniversary to the Pantens" on top of every paper menu that they were handing to patrons that evening. Our server was prompt and welcoming and the food was spectacular! We were even treated to a complimentary dessert with "happy Anniversary " drizzled in chocolate on the serving platter. We could not have asked for a better Anniversary dinner or experience! Thank you Grand Marlin for the memories. 🥰

The grouper sandwich and tartar sauce were amazing, but my fries were quite mediocre. My wife loved her scallops. We had lobster fingers as an appetizer, which were good, but not great. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the water view. Service was good, but the locals monopolized the tender, which we understand. We expect that in our home town as well. There is lots of seating, both at the bar and also tables. We preferred the open air upper deck vs enclosed area downstairs. We both left full and satisfied. We will definitely be back next time in town.

Great food but things have changed since we were there last year. We got there had reservations at 715. We like to enjoy the evening slowly with drinks then appetizer. The whole experience from start to finish was 30 min! Although some may like fast service, we ordered our food and 4 min later it was in front of us! Tooo fast! We spent 180 bucks on dinner so we’d like to take time to enjoy it. Please slow down and let people enjoy each course, that’s what fine dining is supposed to be about. Don’t know if we will be back next year. Just felt like it lost that special feeling the first few times we went. Maybe we will just not make a reservation next time so we can enjoy our drinks while waiting.
