We had a delicious sunset dinner on Saturday. The salmon and grouper dish were amazing as were the appetizers. The service was excellent and we were not rushed.

5 Stars!! Had a surprise 60th birthday for my husband this past weekend and it was amazing. It was nothing short of spectacular! Food was delicious and servers Sarah and Jenn were awesome. Excellent service from both with unbelievable attention to detail! Brittany did a wonderful job on the theme and setting in the private room. Chose the family style menu which had plenty of food, cooked perfectly. Everyone in attendance raved about the food and service. Highly recommend !!

Just walked back to our house after our first experience at Channel Marker. Outstanding in every respect, from waitstaff attentiveness to atmosphere and, most importantly, the food. Wonderfully balanced flavors, sufficient quantities, and recipes that are creative without being weird. I would give Channel Marker ten stars if I could.

Dinner was delicious. 6 people and everything was delicious. The parmesan risotto was delicious.

Love the outdoor seating and sunset view. The food did not disappoint this summer. We've gone several times and enjoyed. The meatball appy is really good, as well, as the huge portion of tender calamari. I've had several mains, but really enjoyed the grouper. They do run out of items and the service can be spotty. The woman at the desk does her best to keep everything moving. It's a byob. Worth the try!

Awesome sunset dinner. Grouper, seafood fra diavolo,shrimp scampi and clams casino were all fresh and delicious. Jen took our order everything was perfect, service was spot on. Channel Marker is back on our rotation for a great dining experience.

Dined for dinner on a Friday night at a table of 7. Decor, location and view was nice. Service was slow and when our food did arrive, the chicken was raw on one plate and the steak was raw on the other. Not talking about rare steak, but raw on the inside. Both were sent back. Would not dine here again.

Savannah and Jordan were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The moment I sat down, she greeted me with a warm, genuine smile and made me feel completely comfortable. She was so attentive without being overbearing, constantly checking in just when I needed something. Whether it was refilling my water or offering a quick recommendation when I couldn’t decide what to order, she was on top of it all. She was so knowledgeable about the menu, describing each dish with such enthusiasm that it made everything sound even more delicious. on. Throughout the meal, she kept the conversation light and fun, making me feel like I wasn’t just another customer, but someone she genuinely wanted to make feel welcome and valued. Savannah and Jordan’s positive energy was contagious, and she made sure everything ran smoothly, checking in at just the right times without interrupting the flow of my meal. She was always around when I needed her but never hovering. She even suggested a dessert I’d never considered, and I’m so glad I took her advice it was the perfect end to the meal. Her attention to detail and natural warmth really made the experience stand out. It was clear she wasn’t just doing a job, but taking real pride in making each guest feel special. By the time I was done, I didn’t just feel full; I felt appreciated, and that’s something that’s hard to come by. Savannah and Jordan truly went out of her way to make sure my experience was as enjoyable as possible, and I can’t wait to come back because of the amazing service she provided.
