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

We had marker 32 on our list of must try restaurants after reading the reviews. Well, it did not dissapoint great food service and ambiance. Food, service, and presentation was spot on. I had to try the shrimp Alfredo it had a little spice with andouolle sausage. It was great tasting. I would definitely order again. The second dish was a sear panned chicken with a demi glaze and new potatoes with asparagus it was delicious. Overall, I was very pleased, and the reviews were correct. read more

Marker 32 - View from the Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

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

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

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

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

We consider ourselves foodies and love trying new restaurants but for whatever reason we are beach people who had never made our way to Marker 32. Crazy right? We finally rectified that this past weekend with our first date night since our daughter was born. Marker 32 on the weekend is packed! We made reservations a week in advance and spots were already very limited. When we arrived indeed every single table was occupied. The ambiance was great at the restaurant. It had a very cool stylish vibe. On the downside, it does get very loud which can make conversation difficult. For a starter we had the Rosemary Grilled Octopus. This is an interesting dish. The smoky tomato puree and sherry smoked paprika vinaigrette in it were very strong and although tasty it did overpower the dish slightly. We also had the arugula fries. The fires are extremely thin and crispy. Almost more like fry chips than fries. The flavor was good but the thin fries are definitely not my favorite. My wife got their Old Fashioned and said that it was excellent. For dinner my wife had the Vegan Pad Thai. This dish was huge, easily enough for two meals. She said she enjoyed it and really loved the flavors. I had the special for the night which was a pan seared grouper in a coconut curry. The flavors were good but the grouper was definitely over cooked to the point of being a little dry. The two tables next to us also had fish dishes that they complained were over cooked so maybe the cook was just having an off night. For dessert we had the hummingbird cake which was absolutely delicious. All in all I see what the hype is about. Marker 32 delivers a solid ambiance and some good food for a date night or a business meal where you are looking to impress. For the price though, I expect the food to be cooked perfectly and the service to be impeccable which while good, I feel like they missed the mark with us tonight. We will be back but I wonder if this classic beach restaurant is relying too much on its reputation? 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

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

Absolutely love this place! From the delicious deviled eggs with friend oysters, warm spinach salad to the delicious drinks and wonderful entrees - you can't go wrong The Blackened Flounder over a sweet potato purée, cilantro lime rice, haricots verts, with a sweet soy glaze! That was the best special I've had and I wish it would be a permanent item on the menu! Absolutely delicious The hot momma and the basil cucumber gimlet are delicious You won't be disappointed 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

We decided to go back to Marker 32 to celebrate a special occasion and this was an excellent choice. The place was clean and spacious. We have the view of the water from our table. As for our food, everything we ordered were tasty and fresh. For starters, we had calamari (crunchy and flavorful). For the entree, we had fried shrimps (large shrimps), scallops with grits and collard greens and blackened snapper. For desserts, we had French toast bread pudding and creme brûlée. We were satisfied with our seafood cravings for that night. 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. I wouldn't order the fried green tomatoes again, too mushy and overly sauced. Although flavorful, the warm spinach salad was hot mushy spinach. read more

Everything was great and the vibe was AMAZING. Reserved for a party of 10. Waitress was very attentive and on point all night. The wait time was a little long for food but the drinks and vibe were worth the wait. 5/5 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

First impressions are everything and last night our dining experience was EVERYTHING! This restaurant is beautiful and right on the water. The view is gorgeous and decor is lovely. We started off our meal with the burrata and the shrimp appetizer and were "wowed". For our entrees, I asked for a substitution and the kitchen did an amazing job with the dish. Everything from the service to the food was outstanding. We took our desserts home and it was packaged with care so everything made it home safe. This meal was delicious and perfect. What a fantastic experience! read more

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.

I came here because of proximity to my Airbnb and because of the reviews. The ambience is quite good, the staff very deferential and polite. The customers are a good-looking crowd. Definitely a date spot, as well as a spot for friends. I found the seafood options to be a bit limited for a place with such a nautical theme. Couldn't make up my mind so I got fried shrimp/oyster combo with shoestring fries. Two of those shrimp were soft (as in, not fresh). Yuck. The oysters were too small to taste good deep-fried. And the shoestring potatoes were all fry and no potato, due to being so fine. I guess that's a matter of taste and some people like it but I like to taste potatoes, not oil and salt. The other shrimp that were fresh were quite good. I don't think I'll return but my menu exploration was admittedly trivial and other people's meals at least looked better than what I ordered. So there's that. read more

I haven't been to Marker 32 in many years. The location is off the road (Beach Blvd.), you would never know it was there just by riding by. It's definitely worth the trip. It was a beautiful sunny evening; the view of the water and marina was nice. We made a reservation, which I highly suggest. If you are looking for a quiet restaurant this is not the one for you. We started out with the Fried Green Tomatoes, they were done just right, crispy, tomatoes had the right bite to them, just a little under seasoned. The seasonal soup was next, it was a crookneck squash soup that was creamy, had a little topping of veggies on top that complimented the soup. I would be back for this soup, as I love unique dishes like this. My husband had the Blue Crab Cakes, I did not try them, but he said they were good. My daughter ate the Seared Filet Mignon. She ordered it medium; it was more on the rare side (she did not ask them to cook longer, just brought the rare pieces home to eat later). She really enjoyed the onion jam that was on top. I had the Seared Scallops with a side of grits. The scallops were cooked perfectly, very delectable with a tasty apple slaw. The grits were one of the best grits I have had out in a long time. The staff was quite friendly, the pace is slow and took longer than normal. Our server knew the menu, polite and efficient with cleaning up the empty plates so more can come. There is detailed information about every menu item on their website menu. I look forward to going back. The bar looked really nice, so we might try that next. read more

Marker 32 is one of my go to semi-neighborhood favorites. The view and intimate feel that Marker delivers is suitable for a night out with friends, to a special occasion. I've explored most of this menu, and nothing has let me down. Make a reservation, or show up, they usually find a way to make it work, or just jockey for positioning at the bar with the early crowd. They do have a great wine and bourbon selection! read more

We went to Marker 32 for my birthday last month. We were a little early for our reservation so we had to wait. They finally called us and initially seated us at a table close to the door and reception. We requested a different table and they were able to accommodate. Now on to the food. We ordered the raw oysters and calamari for apps. The oysters were high quality and my son liked it; it was his first time to try raw oysters. Overall, it was a pleasant birthday dinner. read more

So first, I have to say I worked in the food and beverage industry for a combined 16 years. I did everything in the business to include going to culinary school. Now I haven't worked in the business for many years and since 2020 the culture has really changed. Especially when it comes to wait staff. Tonight, we had a young lady mamed Lizza, who was perfect in every way! So, after going to a baby shower, my wife and I decided to go out and grab some apps and drinks. My wife wanted to go to a couple of other places, but I had been wanting to go back to Marker 32 for a while now. So I felt tonight would be a good time to go. So I haven't been to Marker 32 in probably close to 18 years. Thinking it probably wasn't going to be busy from the past was I surprised. It was packed, ok, so it's Sunday night, holiday weekend. No, this is how it is every night! Awesome, the place has changed since I was last here. We'll ww walked in the hostess was nice and greeted us, and we're able to accommodate us. Now, here is where everything kind of began. They served us fresh bread and water before our server came over, well my wife didn't want to be there, she didn't see anything on the menu, But when Lizza came over she kind of sensed things and became very engaging which kind of made things better. So we went and ordered some wine and apps. Tuna poke, which was absolutely amazing, fresh tuna, seaweed salad, and the sauce was kick ass! Lizza said that she would bring us more sauce without us even saying anything. Next I had the 1/2 dozen raw oysters, now these were a little small for my taste. I like thick meaty oysters. But they were good. Then last we had the pork belly, melt in your mouth, the sauce and the pickled raw veggies... Mmmm A couple glasses of Moscato! Perfect! I like to always finish off with an expresso and Sambuca. To my amazement as soon as I said Sambuca Lizza asked white or black? That's a first. Most places either don't have it or the servers have never heard of it. The expresso came hot and with a twist, my sambuca came straight up with 3 coffee beans. Got the creme brulee for dessert. Great finish to a good night. Todd, one of the managers, took the time to talk with us. I believe this will become one of our regular places. Funny, I just read an article on the couple that owns all the fish camps and Marker 32. Great job! Keep it up and this place will be around for another 20 plus years. read more

Overall a wonderful experience. Food was delicious and had a good variety in its flavor. Only downside is that the steak was a bit chewy. Had the Mahi Mahi as well and it was delicious and the portions was fairly large. Overall menu is extensive and seasonal to a particularly high standard. Definitely fine dining. It can be expensive but worth it and they do different specials on different weeks/months. Service was outstanding. The staff are attentive and professional. The environment is low lit during the night, very relaxing. read more
