The Grand Marlin Restaurant features a main dining area with a shucked to order oyster bar, exterior North Drop Bar overlooking Grand Lagoon, and private meeting rooms. This Panama City Beach restaurant, with an air of island casualness, serves the highest-quality cuisine, including the freshest local seafood featured on menus designed and printed daily to take advantage of the local bounty. The atmosphere creates a fusion of the Caribbean and the Panama City Beach Area. Corporate Executive Chef Gregg McCarthy has a passion for great-tasting food and particularly loves working his culinary magic with fresh Gulf Coast seafood. Boaters and beach-goers feel comfortable in shorts and flip-flops at the oyster bar, in the dining room and at the North Drop Bar. The Grand Marlin has a space and atmosphere for all occasions and is looking forward to creating an authentic experience between time and tide.

The Grand Marlin may be a seafood restaurant, but they have the BEST ribeye steak around! Juicy, seasoned well, and cooked perfectly with a nice selection of whiskey to pair with. Service was proper, quick, and attentive from both server and manager, but was not overbearing. My family will be making this our go-to spot for all future birthdays! Truly a place that actually deserves 5/5 stars.
