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.

Our server, Zack, was amazing and truly made the dining experience. Calamari appetizer was okay, oysters very good/fresh. My sons meal had far too much pesto sauce, wife’s grouper piccata was cooked well but sauce was more of a caper butter than piccata. My seared snapper was very good as were whipped potatoes. Ice cream in pecan bowl was delicious. Again - high regards to Zack!
