Restaurants near Gulf Islands National Seashore

This was our second year spending Thanksgiving at Grand Marlin. This year we had a party of 18. The staff did a great job taking care of us. Everyone was able to order what they wanted versus everyone having the same Thanksgiving meal and my wife didn’t have to prepare anything or clean up. We’re already planning to come again next year.

Food was delicious! I was craving that Arroz a la Marinera" and ut did not disappoint! Flavors actually surpassed my expectations. The goat cheese cake was superb, 5 stars! Service was also excellent and the Te Time cocktail from the bar was a very nice surprise! Will go back for a special occasion- prices only allow for special celebration.

We visited town and took my family to Drift for a nice dinner. The ambiance, food, and our server were all wonderful! You could tell it’s a popular restaurant, as the manager, or possibly the owner, walked around checking on each table to see how everyone was enjoying their meals. Definitely one of Pensacola's best-known gems!

we had a fun time dancing and singing and food was great!

Our waiter was amazing. The food was great! We came last year and had the same experience!!
