    Sunset over the bay
    Caprise P.

    Valentine's Day . As a local, we always support our neighborhood businesses. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner of Scallops, Coconut Grouper, and the Marlin sushi roll! Our server was amazing and the manager, LA Massoud is a perfect hostess greeting guests like special friends. The ambiance was romantic with a sax player entertaining guests as the sun set over the bay. Why can every night be Valentine's?

    Crab cakes

    The food was absolutely amazing & the service was the cherry on top! Tim & Dana were so attentive throughout the whole dinner. One of the best dining experiences!

    Great Jonaha was awesome catered to my every need. Would love some more of the amazing shrimp. The atmosphere was great too and not too loud or busy. 1000/10.

    Delicious cocktails

    Absolutely beautiful outdoor seating. The food was absolutely delicious and our server was awesome.

    Fish of the day with au gratin potatoes (they weren't worth the upgrade!) ... stick with the mashed potatoes

    Reservations made via Open Table for our party of five on Thanksgiving Eve. We're "framily" visiting Port St Joe for the week from Ponte Vedra! Seated immediately at our outdoor table - a bit chilly, so eventually we got a fire lamp placed nearby. Served early with olive bread with a balsamic glaze was a nice touch as we awaited our drinks. Bartender Tracy served up some delicious drinks ... an old fashioned, sangria, day at the beach! Server, John was hustling to get all the customers taken care of ... there was a bit of a delay - but we chatted amongst ourselves ... there were a few other servers topping off water and running food. Oysters were a hit! And coconut shrimp delicious. Entree's were filling and healthy portions. The fish of the day was Mahi-Mahi ... fresh and seasoned perfectly. The scallops were large. The Chicken Marsala was unexpected with bone-in ... and the seafood pasta was delicious. Happy we got an opportunity to eat here while on vacation... at the forgotten coast!

    As a first-time dining experience, the White Marlin was a great one! From the moment we arrived until the moment we left; it was all in all a pleasurable experience. The host/hostess staff immediately greeted my friend and me when we arrived and confirmed our reservation. She thanked us for being first-timers and seated us right away. We sat at a table where the Oysterette bar is located. Our server (Tim) was great! He had a witty sense of humor, was friendly and engaging, and attentive but not overly attentive. To say the food was delicious is an understatement. We started with martinis that were made exactly as we'd asked. We both had Ceasar Salads. The dressing was phenomenal. Just the right amount of dressing, a generous amount of cheese, and tasty (freshly made) croutons. Our entrees were the House Creations Filet Mignon with Robuchon Potatoes and Asparagus and the King Crab. Both were Chef's kiss perfection. Sadly, there was no room for dessert, so we passed on it. But the options sounded great! The atmosphere was energetic. There were families on Spring Break and birthday celebrations going on. The view of the outside deck/seating area and the view of ocean only added to the evening. We couldn't have asked for a better first-time at White Marlin. The only minor hiccup was one of the salads was served on a plate that had chips on it. We brought it to our server's attention, and he apologized for the mishap. It certainly didn't ruin the salad or our experience. Minor thing in the grand scheme of things. Would we return to WM if ever in PSJ...absolutely would! If you're looking for an upscale dining experience, with great service, excellent food, and nice views, put WM on your to-do list for sure!

    Great view! Beautiful outside seating! Appetizers were delicious, the lobster tacos and the coconut shrimp!!! Main courses, and soups and salads were good! Did request no croutons on salad due to a gluten allergy and it came out with croutons. Also we ordered a Pina colada and weren't asked for ID and were pretty sure it was just a virgin (lol) Overall good spot! Staff was friendly as well!

    Fried calamari strips // house made olive sourdough bread

    What an incredible experience. Spent my 33rd birthday dinner here, solo, and it was beyond exceptional. My waitress, Jessica, was attentive, kind and personable. The ambiance was fantastic, especially as the sun set, what a stunning sight. I ordered the filet steak with Brussels and fried calamari strips as an appetizer. The steak was the most delicious steak I have ever eaten, and that says something, my father makes a wonderful steak. Since it was my birthday I was offered a free cookie/ice cream scoop or a crème brûlée, but I chose the Key Lime Pie, as it is a tradition for my birthday each year. The pie was stunning and the staff sang to me, beautifully. It was quite the experience. Thank you for a delightful birthday, I was truly blessed!

We grabbed a seat outside by the bar, which turned out to be a great choice. Troy was our server and bartender, and he was excellent! He's the Jamaican bartender another reviewer mentioned, and I can definitely see why. He was friendly, attentive, and made our experience even better. The drinks were, to say the least... oh my! A few sips in, and I could definitely feel the alcohol doing its job. The Rum Runners and piña coladas were both delicious. We ordered the blackened fish tacos, and they were excellent as well. The covered outdoor patio has a fun, laid-back atmosphere, and they feature live music on weekend evenings, which adds to the experience. Everyone we encountered was welcoming, helpful, and genuinely friendly, with the kind of hospitality you usually only find in the South. We had such a great experience that coming back a second time was an easy decision, and we'd happily return again the next time we're in town.

For the price and quality of the food, it isn't worth almost $30 to pay for a shrimp taco that I asked to be blackened so that they could put soggy pico de gallo on it. The shrimp was mushy because it was probably frozen. My husband got shrimp too, and he had to send it back because it was mushy as well, and the slaw was warm and brown. Overall, this place is a tourist trap; there are plenty of seafood places with great, quality food and drinks that are much cheaper.

The broccoli was fine, while the asparagus was tender without being tough. We also enjoyed the warm, pre-sliced dark bread served with butter. Our server was excellent. He appeared to be handling most of the dining room while also working as the bartender, and he worked extremely hard. We waited a little while for our checks, but that was understandable considering everything he was managing. Most entrées were under $20, and even the steaks were priced in the low $20s. Several people in our party ordered steaks and said they were every bit as good as steaks they've had at dedicated steakhouses. Be sure to look for the colorful lampshade with dollar bills, including some $5 bills, taped inside it. Pepper's Mexican Grill & Cantina previously occupied this building before moving to a larger location down the street, and we were told those bills were the first tips earned at Pepper's. It's a fascinating little piece of the building's history. PSJ Grill 224 Reid Avenue Port St. Joe, FL 32456

The loaded tots were S tier. I could eat my body weight in those alone and call it a meal. I had the BLT and it's a proper BLT -- thick bacon and a lot of it, none of that two-sad-strips business. The hush puppies were awesome too. Every table's got a bottle of Ed's Red, a hyper-local hot sauce, and man, that stuff is good. You love to see Florida products and Florida food represented like that. My father-in-law got the captain's platter -- straight seafood galore. The scallops were my favorite, though to be fair scallops are my favorite just about anywhere, long as they're fresh. Growing up on the Gulf, you can tell when seafood's fresh and hasn't been sitting frozen for a month, and these passed the test. Our server was dope. Sports bars just get better when the wait staff actually knows sports and can banter with you -- makes the whole place feel that much more real. Only real complaint: not nearly enough Gator memorabilia on the walls. Fix that and it's perfect.
