With views of Santa Rosa Sound and sunsets over Pensacola Bay, The Grand Marlin offers a tranquil, relaxed atmosphere, paired with the area’s best selection of fresh seafood highlighted by delectable, daily specials from the kitchen of award-winning Chef Gregg McCarthy.
The restaurant boasts the area’s best-stocked, most tempting oyster bar where the finest oysters, from Apalachicola and East Bay to more exotic locales, are shucked to order.
For those in the mood for something other than seafood we offer enticing steaks, succulent poultry dishes and other fare to meet your every taste.
The Marlin offers a full-bar and an intriguing 80-plus bottle wine list, chosen to compliment any dish while presenting exceptional value. Inspired by the quality and beauty of one of the world’s strongest game fish, the intricately designed dining room — with its barrel-vault ceiling and comfortable banquettes — features a spectacular 1,228.5-pound Atlantic Blue Marlin. Caught in August of 2008 by Trey Irvine aboard the Mimi, the fish holds the North Carolina state record.
The impressive catch embodies The Grand Marlin’s promise ‑ an experience between time and tide, an experience like no other.
