Our server Benjamin was nice and knowledgeable. He was patient with our questions and prompt with service. We started with the seafood platter and it was so good and really liked the variety with, shrimp cocktail, oysters and crab claws. I was pleased to know the salads come whole or half. I had the half spinach salad and husband had half mixed. The spinach salad was so good that I would go back and have a whole one next time. Our entrees were the scallops and rib eye. Neither disappointed and we had a bit to take home. We will be back and we will again request a table looking at the water. read more

Wow! What can I say? I am amazed that a lady was on FaceTime and being extremely loud and the manager refused to speak with her. So I said, could you please turn the volume down on your FaceTime. And the next thing I know they were saying fuck you you AARp old man. Now, I'm not really that old. I'm only 61 but the manager came to me instead of them and asked me if I had a problem. I said absolutely not, but please have her turn down her phone, but instead of going to her, he came to me and asked me to leave because people could talk on the speaker on their phone and disrupt of their people and he did not care. Now, needless to say I will never ever return to this restaurant and I was getting ready to spend a lot of money with them. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Jacksonville. I have gone there. The food has always been good and the service has been top-notch. Yes I know it is a bit pricey. I love to sit near the window and look out at the intercoastal when the sun is starting. It makes her a very nice ambience. read more

Celebrated my wife's birthday early Friday dinner to avoid the crowd. We arrived 15 minutes early and we were seated right away. We ordered some drinks and put in a couple of plates to share, duck confit flatbread and Thai steamed mussels. We didn't expect the flatbread to be that good. Tender sliced duck meat and the pickled blueberries gave a hint of sweetness. The mussels in coconut curry and spiced peanuts were plentiful. We only ate half of it since we still have our Main entrees and dessert. For the Mains, I had the Braised Short Ribs. It came in a bed of massive potatoes and asparagus. You can't go wrong with short ribs. Tender and flavorful, but 1/3 of it was fat, I had a couple of bites of my wife's blackened flounder. Nicely seasoned! For dessert, we had the Pineapple upside down bread pudding. We surely enjoyed it, but the whipped cream was not necessary. Great service. Our server was on-point. Friendly, accommodating, and he checked on us often. read more

It's been years since we've eaten here. Still solid and consistent. For a fine dining experience, the value can't be beat. $5 sides and $10 premium cocktails are incomparable to similar restaurants of this caliber. It's fancy enough to be fancy but not too overly pretentious. Complimentary bread was provided once we were settled in. I started with the M32 broiled oysters which were done perfectly. I followed that with a half Caesar - didn't know that was an option but thankful it was. My entree was broiled scallops served over grits and served with collards. All was well executed but I would've liked the collards cooked down a little more. Flavor profiles for all were perfect. Service from Jillian was spot on - personable, attentive, and not overbearing. The teamwork service from the bus/water personnel was tight - anytime we needed even half a water refill or a plate needed to be picked up, it just happened. This is a well-oiled and managed staff. Kudos to the team and the management. My only critique is that the restaurant can get loud when full - which is almost all the time. We remembered this fact from our last visit and the same holds true today. Regardless, I wouldn't hesitate to return. read more

Celebrated my birthday here and I wore heels, lol! Well, as it turned out, since it's near the water, you can wear a summer dress, shorts, sandals and even sneakers, based on what I've seen on other people. Inside, the bar was already full but not too loud. It was quite busy on a Friday night but good thing we made a reservation. We ordered the following: Thai Steamed Mussels - huge portion and definitely for the table, good for 3-4 people for starters! Tasty and you would want more bread to dip on that curry sauce! Duck Confit Flatbread - a pleasant surprise! Slightly sweet due to the picked blueberries but oh so yummy! Short Rib Special - my husband loved the flavor but he said there was too much fat. Blackened Flounder Special - I enjoyed this! I like that they pair it with rice and vegetables. Substituted the green beans with Brussels sprouts. Delicious! Pineapple Upside Down Bread Pudding - Good but I prefer just plain. Although we waited quite a while for our entrees, our server Chris was so helpful and attentive, top notch service from him! I highly recommend this place! read more

I've been going to this establishment for two decades. Marker 32 was one of the best places in Jax Beach when I moved here in 2005. It still is. Ownership/management has maintained the quality that this place is known for. From the kitchen to the waitstaff, top notch, knowledgeable, enabled and expected to do the things that maintain the place through the ages as worthy of five stars. The menu accommodates all the spectrums of taste at a high level. read more

Came with a large party of 9 with a reservation made in advance. Service on the phone and in person was exceptional. Compared to previous visits, the food this time wasn't as good as before, although still good. The seared duck breast was cooked medium-rare so I had them cook it a little more. The scallops were delicious but on the heavier side. The stand out for me was the heritage bone-in pork chop. Shoutout to our waiter Cameron for being so kind, patient, and accommodating as our group stayed at the restaurant an hour past closing. Beautiful restaurant and location for an intimate dinner with friends, but the food was okay. read more

Delightful dinner at this upscale restaurant in Jacksonville. I joined late and sat at the bar, so unfortunately I can't speak to the view but I've heard it's wonderful I decided to order a few appetizers to try different things. The M32 broiled oysters came highly recommended by Yelp and the restaurant staff, so I had to give them a try first. Very delicious, personally I wish the flavors of sun dried tomatoes and bacon wouldn't have overpowered the oysters as much, but they were broiled perfectly, served beautifully and delicious. Next, I tried the grilled octopus with shoestring crispy potatoes and an arugula bean salad. I love octopus but thought this one was presented too oily, and overpowered by roasted peppers and bacon. The salad was the highlight on the plate. Lastly, I ordered the scallops on corn purée and OMG my life will never be the same. It was PERFECTION! Scallops were served at perfect temperature and so beautifully highlighted by the corn and veggies. I was full but could.not.stop.eating. Highly recommended for anyone!!! Another moment of delight was the 20-year old Port which was simply delectable. Overall, fantastic menu, wonderful selection of wines and cocktails and very friendly staff. Upon leaving, a cat said hi on the patio, apparently she comes by for leftovers each night after closing. Purrfect! read more

The majority of my reviews on Yelp focus on food over service because I usually find service at restaurants to be adequate, but unremarkable. Marker 32's service is REMARKABLE! We were greeted immediately by the friendly host and seated right away. As soon as we were sat, I noticed the host, or perhaps the manager, immediately tell someone in the back that our table was seated and we were brought water and an assortment of bread right away. Our server was kind, personable, and clearly put a great deal of thought and effort into her descriptions of the daily specials which was endearing and made us feel special. It's rare to get a server that seems to truly care about their job and your experience. And it wasn't just our server. The servers at the tables around us clearly had the same care and charm with their guests as well. The food did not disappoint either. This is the best calamari I've ever had! In fact, calamari is not something I order often because it's usually a boring fried calamari ring and some marinara. This Vietnamese take is a beautiful and unique interpretation that is for more enjoyable than standard calamari. I will return to Marker 32 just for this dish! The entrees were delicious as well, and the creme brulee was a perfect dessert. If you want to have a decadent meal and feel truly cared for, come to Marker 32. read more

Been coming here for years but had a bad experience at the bar. Ordered a martini. It came quickly but the glass was literally half full and tasted like whatever drink was in the mixing glasss before. The bartender was more interested in being on his phone and flirting with girls than getting us a glass of water or taking our dinner order. We sat about 30 minutes at the bar and simply left Place used to be stellar. Has gone significantly downhill read more

The service is great! The food is spectacular! Sadly, the noise level is equally prodigious! I have never been to an upscale restaurant that made zero effort to control the noise level. It made the evening difficult even though everything else was wonderful! My takeaway: if you an go at a time when they aren't busy, you might be able to hear your companions speak! Otherwise, go alone & bring ear plugs! read more

This is my second review of Marker 32. The 1st one was over 10 years ago and was 3 stars. This caused use to not return. Whatever changes they made in those ten years really helped make this place 5 stars! I've been back twice lately, both times right at 5 o'clock when they open. Had a wonderful time chatting with some folks while we waited in line. Make your reservations well in advance. We were promptly seated. The service has been excellent. Good job Ben. I had the oysters which were very good. Filet mignon was cooked perfectly. Wife had the baked chicken with mushroom sauce and reported that it was the best she ever had. The steak came with asparagus and it too was cooked perfectly. For dessert we shared the crème brûlée and highly recommend. If you haven't been to Marker 32 in years give it a try. It's wonderful. read more

We celebrated my wifes's birthday this week. We were greeted with an acknowledgement of her birthday and given a nice table. The restaurant was packed with people celebrating different occasions and having a nice dinner. The bar was very active. Our service was perfect. We both had seafood scallops and flounder. Both meals were delicious and just the right portion. Our drinks were well made and came fast. The mouse cake was delicious. Highly recommend Marker32. read more

I came here for a girls Christmas dinner and liked it so much I had to bring my fiancé back a week later. Our service was fantastic, the food was so flavorful and everyone we encountered was pleasant. Both times I got the charbroiled oysters because they are straight delicious. First visit I went heavy apps for my meals with the oyster, charred octopus and the burrata of the moment and side of asparagus. Everything was great, I would love to see a few more crostini pieces served with the burrata but you can ask for extra with no issue. Second visit I was planning on ordering the lamb but it had been switched out on the menu for duck which i was going to get but sadly they were out. So I picked the oysters again with the Thai steamed mussels as my dish. For appetizers we got the special salmon yakitori and the burrata of the moment and both were delicious. I can't say enough good things about this place. Note the parking lot is limited but the valet operates on tips and they accept venmo as well. Such a pleasant place for dinner and the view is great. read more

Me and the boys pulled up to Marker 32 on a pleasant Saturday night. We had an abstract table by the window with a great view of the dock area. The restaurant was very loud with people chuckling across the restaurant and a large party yapping in the middle of the restaurant. We were celebrating my Grandpas 70th birthday and our waitress kept glazing him like she worked at Krispy Kreme not Marker 32. It was very nice when they brought us some pecan pralines on the house . The apps we chose, calamari and some oysters were enjoyable. I got the shrimp fettuccine and it was pretty good nothing to write home about. If you know me from my previous reviews I would recommend clam bar in Somers Point New Jersey it's a better alternative. Not trying to hate on Marker 32 they do be grinding and they have a luxury aspect throughout the restaurant. read more

It was mission impossible to get a table here around dinner time (normal people dinner time not senior or vampire dinner time) without making a reservation. We love going to a ramen place in JAX but we felt the adventurous soul stirring up in us since my husband was trying out for hammerhead swim in the open ocean!!! Walked in and walked to the bar and the service was fast and friendly and the food was excellent!!!! The bartenders were very able and friendly but the one who served us was a pro for sure!!! I don't know how she did it. When we are leaving, she casually said, "see you next week". I almost said, "yes, see you next week!" Then, I had to correct myself by saying see you next year!!! It will be one more reason to come back to JAX in addition to hammerhead swim:)) read more

We went here for my husband's birthday. I made a reservation for 7:00, we arrived a few minutes early, and were greeted and seated immediately. This restaurant is located right on the bay, with large windows overlooking the water. The tables were candlelight and perfect for a romantic evening. Our server came up to us right away and gave us the list of daily specials. I have no idea how he could remember so many specials, but he is very talented! Every time I thought he was done listing the items, he would mention another one. I do like how this restaurant has rotating specials; it keeps the menu unique and assures its customers that everything is locally sourced. We ordered two appetizers: the deviled eggs and the steak and mushroom skewers (which was a daily special). Both were outstanding! The deviled eggs had a fried oyster on top, which was an amazing spin on a classic appetizer! My husband and I each ordered the blue crab cakes, for we both absolutely love crab cakes. The reason why I am giving this restaurant four stars instead of five is due to how salty and dry the crab cakes were. They came with a sauce which helped, but I need to stress that all I tasted while eating them was salt. I LOVE crab cakes and had a difficult time finishing them. I am mentioning this in hopes of a head chef seeing this, because one of my friends actually advised against Marker 32 due to how salty her food was. She visited several years ago and hasn't returned due to this- I obviously didn't want to take her opinion into consideration since I understand restaurants have off days and a lot can change in a few years. But after reading other reviews, over salting entrées seems common here, and I am hoping that this feedback is taken into consideration. The appetizers and service were excellent here, and I would love to give this place a second chance for dinner. read more

Service is excellent, our waiter took good care of us. The view of the marina is pleasant but the noise level is very high, even on a weeknight. Recommend: : bistro steak, shoestring fries, oysters.

Came in to be seated before my reservation which was an hour later but they allowed a group to be seated and they didn't have a reservation.

Driven by marker 32 all the time on beach Blvd in jax but finally decided to try it. Reservations are suggested strongly because when I pulled up on a Monday, the lot was filled Got seated right away and was brought a complimentary bread and butter. Ordered a Texas mule and it was put together great. Ben was my waiter and he was fantastic. Went over the specials and I did the mahi mahi with black eyed peas. It was phenomenal. With a very good Cesar salad.. Got a to go dessert for a friend of mine Views are great over the intercoastal. The service is superb. Even manager stopped by to make sure things were good. Ben was great And the food was outstanding. What's nice...what you paid for was not that bad for what I got. read more

Jax's Beach area has two really good waterfront restaurants being MAVI and Marker 32. Both are located within surrounding marina areas and offer magnificent waterfront views. MAVI is the more fun party one with its Friday, Saturday and Sunday live entertainment. But, when it comes to the better in food, ambience, atmosphere and service, Marker 32 is the hands down better of the two. Marker 32 has a really great all-encompassing menu with a good emphasis on Coastal Classics of Blue Crab Cakes, Oysters, and Shrimp. When having oysters, I particularly liked their dill and caper tarter sauce. For my main course both Beloved and I had their Seared Filet Mignon Which came perfectly as each of us had ordered, mine rare and his medium. We both thought that the red wine demi glaze topped with the blue cheese fondue was a delicious as well as perfect enhancement. So, for good food and waterfront dining, it's tough to beat Marker 32. read more

Just like it's sister restaurants, Marker delivers excellence across the board--service, food and ambiance. The evening was perfect and so were the views. The service was above and beyond - exceptional at the least. And the food -- absolutely delicious. Wine selection is impressive. The mahi was grilled and seasoned perfectly. And the scallops--I feel like I can't trust myself to cook scallops this divine. I cannot tell you enough about the service--- the team there is on point. Jonar! That's my dude. And Laura, she always takes great care of us. Marker 32 is seriously the perfect spot for a girls night, a celebration, date night, or group dinner. Highly recommend! read more

Been here many times and was always good until now. Complimentary valet was rude, chicken was dry and too tough to cut, spinach was under cooked. When waiter asked how the food was I mentioned it was too dry and I had a hard time cutting it with a knife. The response was... Oh well chicken is chicken. Not sure what that means? Not going back, can no longer recommend. Update: Received call from restaurant and they were very nice and apologetic for my experience. Appreciated them reaching out and their efforts to understand the issues in order to improve the customer experience. Thanks! Updated rating from 1 to 4. read more
