Dolphin Tiki Bar & Grill

Great food and drinks but don't be in a hurry to be seated. Our 1 hr 15 min.estimate turned into over 2hrs or so. it happens but

The listing for this restaurant suggested several vegan options that I didn’t see on the menu. Heads up - they said their beans are not vegan. I had the vegetable potstickers that were decent. Wanted the Avocado salad but couldn’t get it without the beans because it was a pre-made salad. Got a Green Salad instead and it was pretty basic. I saw a mango salsa on the menu and was able to add it to my salad in addition to a balsamic dressing, which added a bit more flavor to the salad. Had the fries off someone else’s plate and they were pretty good. Went with a bunch of omnivores who weren’t super impressed with their meals, either.

I once met someone seated next to me at the bar who had arrived on his sailboat after sailing across the South Atlantic from Europe - England to the Canary Islands, then Marco Island I think. I believe he hired a guide in the Canary Islands to help get him across the ocean. That’s why I gave 5 stars for atmosphere.

Parking: Since I live here and don’t own a car, parking is never a problem. I used to own a car and parking was always easy.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are easy ramps to get in.

What a unique place. The food was good and the view was nice. I highly recommend getting the steak & mushroom bites. That blue cheese sauce is amazing!! The seafood trio tacos were delicious too. The grouper was ok but loved the Mahi better. Service was good. Definitely will come back in the future when visiting Marco Island.

The food was amazing. We had the crab cake appetizer which was bar far the best crab cake we ever had. My husband had the grouper sandwich and it was cooked perfectly. I had the grouper platter. Delicious. The place is a little hard to find. Our gps sent us on a little road trip to make the 3 miles from our resort. Don’t give up. Find it

A little hidden, great view, friendly staff. Very friendly, smiling. The sushi is delicious, although clearly not from an Asian origin. But very good quality and the beer selection is also great.

Nice cozy place on the water. Behind the condos...water side. Disappointed on the quantity of the food for the price charged. But fun spot for drinks & dinner.
