Painted Marlin Grille

Finally, a spot on the island that offers quality food that doesn't resemble fast food (you know what I mean). We've tried several places, and this one is by far the best. The lunch area has fantastic views, complemented by delicious appetizers and drinks. You absolutely must try the avocado dishes and crab cakes. Be sure to ask your server about the children's options— the kids' pasta is generously sized, enough to satisfy an adult. Dinner can get crowded as people flock to enjoy the sunset view, so I recommend making a reservation online for dinner. Arrive at noon when they open for lunch—don’t delay! Treat yourself to a Pain Killer drink while you’re there. Enjoy!

During our week-long stay on the island, we were four adults visiting for the first time, and we absolutely loved this restaurant. We dined here multiple times and were consistently impressed by the exceptional atmosphere and stunning sunsets. The staff was wonderful, adding to our positive experience. Each evening, we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The shrimp cocktail was a highlight—delicious and generous, featuring five large shrimp along with an additional 5-6 chopped shrimp in the sauce. The portion of the large shrimp was substantial enough for a meal on its own. We also tried the Red Fish, Mahi Mahi, and blackened fried shrimp, all of which were delightful. For dessert, the Raspberry Key Lime Pie was outstanding. While it may not be the best restaurant I've ever visited, it's certainly the best on the island!

Very nice relaxed place to eat by the water. Cool view of the bridge.Our waiter was impeccable, very nice and attentive. Their sea food was really good. Fresh and really delicious. As for drinks, I ordered the Marlin Pain Killer #2 and it was DELICIOUS! We will be defiantly going back there.

Great easy place to eat. Fast service, fresh food, awesome sweet potatoes fries, enjoyed the Cesar salad with blackened shrimp too. Highly recommend for families is solo travelers. I came about 4pm so got to watch sunset too. Great outdoors seating area facing the harbor. Very helpful staff, food came out super fast and was fresh.

Your food is amazing! Everything is incredibly fresh and flavorful. My husband and I started with the half-pound shrimp, which were delicious! I had the butterflounder, and he ordered the chimichurri yellowfin tuna. Both dishes were cooked to perfection. They also let us swap out the rice for sweet potatoes, which were some of the best I've had in a long time, along with asparagus. The meal came with vegetables and two small crab cake bites. My husband's asparagus could have used a bit of salt and pepper, but overall it was great. The server was friendly and attentive, and the Malte Marlin is a clean and inviting restaurant. I highly recommend it!
