    Then interior is coastal elegance but the interior is too loud.. Service was excellent! Dishes ordered, were surf and turf along with the snapper special: both were delicious while the crab cake was not as "lump" as it should have been. The squash appetizer was a dud. Oysters, pretty good but the baked were barely baked and the mignonette that accompanied the raw was overly sweet. Lastly the brownie dessert was so-so.

    Have eaten here before (yearly as a visitor) but have never seen it as busy as this day. Nonetheless, we were seated promptly. Ray was our waitress and she was SO GOOD that I will definitely ask for her next time we’re in town. Drinks are stiff here, well worth the price. Excellent coconut shrimp for a shared appetizer. We ordered the swordfish special and the grouper for our entrees. Portions were generous with tasty side dishes and attractive presentation. Lastly, we shared one of the best crème brûlée desserts we’ve ever had. Most definitely coming back!

    My girlfriends and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner at The White Marlin. Our party enjoyed filets and Parmesan-crusted grouper, and all were very good. Our waiter, Jonah, was attentive and took great care of us!
