The Grand Marlin features a main dining area with an oyster bar, the North Drop Bar and private meeting rooms. This new family-friendly Pensacola Beach restaurant serves the highest quality cuisine including fresh seafood, island cocktails and local fun in an island-casual atmosphere. Come in your flip flops or dress up for a special occasion. Patrons will be able to experience the perfect dining experience in an enticing locale, featuring a spectacular view of Santa Rosa Sound and the region’s most innovative menu. The Grand Marlin is a throw back to early sport fishing, especially marlin fishing. The grand prize of all marlin fishing is catching and releasing a “Grander,” a blue or black marlin in excess of 1,000 pounds. So, when it came time to choose the restaurant’s name, The Grand Marlin, a name invoking greatness and a premiere experience seemed fitting.
