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.

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!
