    The food was excellent, and prepared with my dairy free diet in mind. The server was knowledgeable, helpful and courteous, and the environment was perfect for our Mother’s Day brunch!

    Marina Grill is a good place to enjoy a wide variety of food and the excellent views of the riverfront marina. Our server Andy is top notch and very eager to help. The bar has a nice selection of beers and wine along with craft cocktails. Free parking outside on the pier. Large outdoor seating for good weather. Live music on select dates during the summer.

    Great location on the Marina. We enjoyed sitting outside listening to to a great band while sipping cocktails and delicious grouper sandwich with sweet potato fries. Our waiter was very polite and attentive. We will definitely be back!

    The food continues to be mediocre. Made reservations with special requests for outdoor seating and they couldn’t accommodate - that’s fine I can get over that. But two people in the group wanted the biscuit gravy skillet and the server said it wouldn’t be available for another 30 minutes, mind you we were there 2 hours after they had already been opened. I ordered the chicken and waffles and the chicken was literally a whole half of bone in chicken on top of a waffle that I had pick apart with my hands. That was a first. Been there for dinner, now for brunch and this will most likely be our last attempt eating here.
