We are accepting reservations to make your experience the most pleasurable. The White Marlin is a magnificent beach front steak and seafood restaurant that boasts a selection of seafood with a longstanding commitment to offering top quality ingredients from local fisheries up and down the coast of Florida. Freshness is our only priority working directly with fishermen and farmers, to bring you the most amazing fresh catches and beef there is to offer. With an ethos of spotlighting ingredients first, The White Marlins menu features simple preparations executed to perfection to allow quality to take center stage. We have two dining options for our guests experience between the more casual and lively Oyster Bar and patio to the traditional Main Dining Room. The Main Dining Room possesses classic and sophisticated warmth, is adorned with sharp accents throughout the room and plush seating lends the ideal setting for celebratory dinners or just a simple night on the town.

    We couldn’t wait to go back to the White Marlin after visiting last winter. Surprised to see lower ratings but went anyway. Yes, it is a little pricey but when scallops melt like butter in your mouth the place must be doing something right. The coconut shrimp appetizer is the bomb. It needs to be an entree. Caprese Salad, delicious and enough for two. The staff are all congenial and helpful. There are cheaper choices in Port St Joe, but the quality is not the same. Yo Mamma’s is the only other place I would recommend.

    We always enjoy our once a year visit to the area and we make sure we come eat at The White Marlin. The food is always wonderful but the view from the deck at sunset makes it even better.

    Our food was very good and our waitress was fantastic. The cocktails were a bit of a disappointment for the price point. They sounded great on the menu, but were weak and lacked flavor/ depth.
