   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!

   White Marlin's food is out of this world, amazing! We are repeat customers and are never disappointed. White Marlin is a beautiful, ocean front restaurant with fine food/drinks that can't be beat.

   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!

   Food service ambiance we AMAZING they happen to sit us by the door to the patio so that was a bit disturbing but they were very sympathetic and actually locked the door so the servers had to use a different door. All in all our evening was perfect!!! Definitely 5 stars!!!

   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.
