Marlin's Grille - Cocoa Beach

We stopped by for lunch today and ordered the crab cake sandwich along with a drink each. However, the $20 parking fee made our lunch quite expensive and disappointing. We wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. It would be nice if there were a way to get a parking refund for diners.

We drove from the Cape based on a friend's recommendation, and it was a wonderful experience. The view was fantastic, and the service was excellent. Our waitress was very pleasant and friendly. The food was served hot and was just as we ordered. Despite the restaurant being quite busy, a fellow guest noticed that I was having some trouble with my legs and came to assist me. That’s one of the wonderful things about the South—people genuinely help one another. We also picked up some shirts and hats while we were there.

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The food was delightful; I ordered crab legs and a salad. The service was exceptional, and the view was amazing. The prices were slightly on the higher side, but the quality made it worth it. Our meals arrived piping hot and were wonderfully seasoned. If you get the chance to have dinner there, I highly recommend it to everyone. They also have a few saltwater aquariums, which added a lovely touch to the atmosphere.

We ordered a California roll, which was slightly warm for my liking, and the only soy sauce available was low sodium—I prefer a bit more salt. My crab cake sandwich was good when it arrived, but my husband's chicken bowl was served cold. Overall, we both agreed that it lived up to the average reviews, and I learned a lesson today.

We had a very enjoyable dinner at Pier 62 (Aug 9/23). Great view in a nicely renovated establishment since our last visit. Wife had the Grouper sandwich, I had the Jumbo shrimp and both were very good. It was a bit busy at the time but our super friendly server Angela was on top of it….and always had a smile. Great meal and service. Thanks!
