This is our new favorite restaurant!
My parents took us to celebrate their birthdays plus me & my husband’s anniversary. Our waiter Alex (the most fun & enjoyable waiter I have ever enjoyed!) & the manager was right on top of everything making sure that we were enjoying ourselves! We even noticed how well all the waiting staff worked together as a team to make sure that everyone had a great experience!
My mom said that her lobster was the best that she has had in years! I tried the Crusted Grouper & it was amazing! My dad & husband has the steak. My husband has been in many bbq competitions & was so impressed with how well his steak was seasoned & grilled correctly! Their cheesecake is to die for!!!! We will definitely be back for this beautiful atmosphere & experience of not being rushed to eat!

Initially, I was concerned my party wouldn’t enjoy our visit as we were seated in the sunniest outdoor spot with no umbrella or fan near our table. We had elected to reserve an early supper time slot, so it was extremely hot. The deck was basically empty when we arrived, but our request to switch tables was met with resistance from the hostess; however, once settled in a more suitable location, our server Alex provided a wonderful dining experience. He made some good food suggestions and was very accommodating. My friends and I enjoyed a lovely view of the sunset as well. If we return, we may choose a later time or will be certain to ask for a shaded table.

Every time I visit Port St Joe or Mexico Beach, a dinner at the White Marlin is mandatory. Not only are the views second to none, but the food is also outstanding. The oysters and sushi have always been fresh and beautifully presented, and I dream about the scallops. Over Thanksgiving I had the filet and lobster tails… this last trip (late Dec) our party shared plates so I was able to try crab cakes, crusted grouper, the ribeye, lobster tacos, and pear salad. Rave reviews all around. The cocktail list has never disappointed, and the white wines have a lovely variety for seafood parings. I’m particularly fond of the dry cava brut & the dry but bright chard… perfection.
Beyond the location and menu, it’s the staff that makes the White Marlin a standout. The ever smiling Alex is an absolute delight, and it was wonderful to see him again, even though he wasn’t our server this trip — Kyle took exceptional care of us & the parents. Alex stepped in as family photographer for a few photos at sunset and they’re amazing. We snuck into the Oysterette to say hi to our favorite CEO of Perfectly Cooked Meat, the man, the myth, the amiable legend of the grill… Chile. Can’t wait to come back on our next visit to the beach house.

Yes yes yes! The White Marlin not only has amazing cuisine, but also an outstanding staff. The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing and the views of the bay at sunset are breathtaking. My husband got the coconut crusted grouper and I had the lobster. Alex was our waiter and his recommendations for dinner and wine were spot on. Plus we now have a new friend because he felt like long, lost family. Thank you to Ellie for envisioning such a restaurant. We enjoyed celebrating the New Year at the White Marlin.

Phenomenal atmosphere and 5 STAR food! Bay scallops are sensational!
Fresh Marlin Sushi topped with Mango…Yummy! Coconut crusted Grouper…Sensational! And the BEST Key Lime pie topped with honey
Alex was our server and delivered 5 STAR service. He is very knowledgeable and kind. We stayed next door at Hotel Saint Joseph and we chose to eat here both nights because it was so unbelievably good! LA, the manager, is a doll. Very welcoming and warm environment. Make sure to eat here when you visit Port Saint Joe!!!

We had a phenomenal experience at The White Marlin. Alex was our waiter and made exquisite recommendations that included the coconut crusted grouper and the brown sugar scallops. He was also able to recommend a Chardonnay that paired beautifully with my meal. We ended the experience with the pineapple creme brulee that was decadent and light. The ambiance and the service made the experience that much more enjoyable. We will definitely be back and will recommend to our friends and family.

Absolutely wonderful food and service tonight! I’ve been wanting to go here but it is about a 45 minute drive so just haven’t. I am now kicking myself for not going sooner! Service was friendly and relaxed from the moment we hit the front desk. We were graciously taken to our table. Alex was our server and was wonderful, as were all of the team who attended our table. Oysters were perfectly shucked, wedge salad and Ceasar salad perfect. Scallops were not only PERFECTLY cooked which is tough to do, but the sauce was amazing. Coconut crusted grouper was exquisite, not overly sweet. And to top it off, the Key Lime Pie was PERFECT! We are admittedly Key Lime Pie snobs. Many say Publix or Margaritaville have the best, NO SORRY, White Marlin has the best! Thanks for a great evening!

Amazing sunset view and the outdoor ambience was so nice! Excellent food and beautiful presentation. We ordered the sushi and coconut crusted grouper and ended with the hazelnut chocolate bread pudding. Our server, Alex, was a delight. We talked about our trip to Greece last year and he shared his recipe tips. We enjoyed our evening and will definitely return! Highly recommend this place.
