We were seated quickly and had a very good waiter who was very helpful. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and answered all of our questions. Our only criticism was the noise level. There was a singer entertaining and that with the fairly fill dining room made it difficult to converse. We will return to Grand Marlin!!
