The Grand Marlin of Pensacola Beach

We absolutely love this place! Food is excellent, service is outstanding. Daniel went above and beyond for us! He even went so far to find some readers for my husband because he left his glasses at home! We will continue to come back every time we visit Pensacola. *My only complaint- which is turning out to be pretty bad, is the shucking of the oysters. They left a shell and has broke off some of my crown. It's killing me right now. Let's hope it's not a costly repair.

The meal and service were fantastic. Daniel , our server, makes sure our evening is always enjoyable.

Great food and excellent service! Daniel was our waiter and as usual he was fun, efficient, and provided the best service! The ambience was lovely and lively.

We got there early and they were able to seat us right away. The service was excellent and the food was fabulous. This is not the first time here and everything has always been excellent!

We go to The Grand Marlin each year for our anniversary and enjoy it every time. The Parmesan Grouper and Praline Bowl are our favorite! Thanks for a great evening.

Absolute professional restaurant experience. This is not a typical beach restaurant. It's a restaurant at the beach. I have never been disappointed in the quality and preparation of the food or the high level of service provided by the GM staff. There is absolutely no peer in the Pensacola area.

First time coming to Grand Marlin, and we will no doubt be back! The food and service were top notch!!

Our book club hosted our holiday dinner and gift exchange last night at The Grand Marlin, and everything about it was perfect. The food was delicious as always, but our server Danielle went above and beyond in her attention to detail. She immediately noticed one of our Prosecco splits was flat and replaced it. One of our group members was delayed due to work and Danielle held our entree order so that it was paced perfectly so that no one felt rushed. She even took the time out of her busy night to take photos of us by the Christmas tree! Grand Marlin is always a special place, but it's especially festive around the holidays. We were seated at a cabana table in the outdoor area which gave our group privacy for our gift exchange without having to reserve a private room. Everything about this evening was perfect, so thank you Grand Marlin and Danielle!

My wife and I took out of town guest to brunch and as usual a Grand Marlin never disappoints. The food is always consistently delicious ! Furthermore, we were lucky enough to have Alicia as our server, our first time with her but when we return we will definitely request her section. She was pleasant, attentive, and answered all our questions and her personality was outstanding ! Alicia, THANK YOU for making our experience and our guest feel comfortable and welcomed.

Parking: Hard to get to & like most large, high publicity places, the food was cooked too fast & not cooked well.
