The online menu shows a picture of a whole fish dish, when asked about it was told we don't do whole fish dishes , had been looking forward to this for twelve months. The table we were given was upstairs and right next to the serving / bussing station - very noisy and annoying. All in all very disappointed

We are locals and always have a fabulous experience. Our waiter for this special Thanksgiving meal was Chris and he was great. Some things that make a difference and put Grand Marlin at the top are-reservations are always on time and details honored, never had a meal where the management didn’t come ask about our meal and the food is consistent and on time!
