We are accepting reservations to make your experience the most pleasurable. The White Marlin is a magnificent beach front steak and seafood restaurant that boasts a selection of seafood with a longstanding commitment to offering top quality ingredients from local fisheries up and down the coast of Florida. Freshness is our only priority working directly with fishermen and farmers, to bring you the most amazing fresh catches and beef there is to offer. With an ethos of spotlighting ingredients first, The White Marlins menu features simple preparations executed to perfection to allow quality to take center stage. We have two dining options for our guests experience between the more casual and lively Oyster Bar and patio to the traditional Main Dining Room. The Main Dining Room possesses classic and sophisticated warmth, is adorned with sharp accents throughout the room and plush seating lends the ideal setting for celebratory dinners or just a simple night on the town.

    I completely understand being understaffed, however 25 minutes before a drink is served at an establishment that charges these prices is just wrong. The hostess did everything right, apologized, free dessert. 4 for dinner, $300, just expected a little more.

    We love this restaurant and have been numerous times with great experiences. Unfortunately, tonight we had issues. We arrived at 6:05 for a 6:15 reservation, and were greeted with smiling faces and seated right away. We chatted and drank our water patiently for 20 minutes, wondering why no one had stopped by our table, but didn’t want to say anything. We gave it another five minutes, then asked the nice man filling our water who our server was. A few minutes later, a lady and our server came by to take our drink orders. She told him to comp our first drinks, which was nice though not necessary. A different staff member brought us our drinks and bread, then we sat without anyone coming by for another 25 minutes. At that time we placed our entree orders(had planned to get apps or salads, but didn’t want to drag it out longer) …our food did arrive fast. We had wanted to order a second drink and dessert, but he never came back until it was time for the check. We were charged for the drinks and paid for them without question, but it was another negative for him. We did tip well anyway, since the rest of the staff was good, and is probably (hopefully) being tipped out from him. Overall, we enjoyed the drinks and food we received, but the experience as a whole was not good.

    My wife and I stayed in the Port Saint Joe area for about a week and tried several of the local restaurants, but the White Marlin was by far the best. Very nice decor, awesome views of the bay, good service, and phenomenal food! We went there on our last night in town, which was a good thing or she would have been VERY disappointed in the other options in town. I'm guessing we'll be eating there most nights when we return! Thanks for a great experience!

    They were over booked and told us we no longer had a reservation. We wound up sitting outside on their deck and made the best of it

    My wife and I dined there Feb 14th (Valentine’s Day) for the first time. We loved the atmosphere, the drinks were very good, and the food was fantastic. The service was top notch. We live here in Port St. Joe and we definitely dine here again and highly recommend. Five star food and service
