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

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

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

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

I haven't been here in years! Just stopped in for drinks. My friend suggested it, she comes here often with her husband. I told her I only think of it as a food place and she said they had a great bar. Good choice! Say hi to the General Manager, he's a nice guy. Thanks, Jonar! read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

The food is always phenomenal but I sadly can't say that about the service. This is our second time here and the first time our service wasn't great but the food was excellent so we gave it another shot. Ironically we were sat at the same table and we jokingly said to each other "is this the forgotten table?" As everyone around has was being tended to, we noticed our service was significantly less thorough. We came out to celebrate my husband's birthday, the hostess was so lovely and greeted us enthusiastically, wishing my husband a wonderful birthday. Our waiter was very busy and very distracted though. I don't think he knew we were celebrating something special. Our water glasses were empty for most of the meal, I had an issue with my drink that was never brought to the attention of our server because he was hard to pin down. At the end of the meal my beverage sat untouched, but he didn't even ask if everything was ok. It took 30 minutes of our dinner plates sitting empty in front of us for them to stop back around to collect them. Additionally it is so loud due to the acoustics that it's hard to hold a conversation. Granted, there's probably not much they can do about that. Ultimately though because we felt like such an afterthought, we probably won't be coming back. read more

Those were some of the best cheese grits I've had to date. The seasoning was on point. The drinks were delicious and STRONG. read more

On vacation we found this place on Yelp with great reviews. To celebrate my landmark 70th birthday we decided to splurge. Make reservations or you are probably not getting in. A most excellent experience! I had the seared tuna, rare, on a bed of wild rice with Kimchi. Exquisite! We are retired so of modest means. I was a little concerned about what MKT Price would be but well worth the reasonable $36. My wife had the smoked pork chop and could barely finish it all. The service was top notch. Highly recommend! read more

Galentine's dinner with gal pals was great at Marker 32. We drank, drank, and drank so more. The cocktails were delicious, Laid Back with the blackberries was just the right mixture of sweet but tasty. The next round of cocktails was lemon drops. And they didn't disappoint, tasty and just the right concoction to have you feeling good. The food was good and the portion size plentiful. The service was slow hence the 4 stars. read more

This restaurant is located off Beach Blvd in the marina area. The ambience is light, fresh and sophisticated. I must rave about the service from the hostess to everyone I interacted within the time I was having dinner there. Jeff was amazing and the epitome of what a customer experience should be at high end restaurant. The calamari was deliciously flavorful but a tad bid over fried. The grouper on the other hand was scrumptious and buttery served with a side mash potatoes and greens. Bon appetite!! read more

What an experience! 12 of us ladies came here for a bachelorette party dinner. Needless to say, we were loud and needy. The waiter was fantastic, checkin on us constantly and not forgetting a single thing. The restaurant was clean and beautiful. The view of the ocean, big windows, clean & pretty decor. The bread selection was fantastic! We went through so much of it!! We got 5 or so different appetizers. Standout was definitely the deviled eggs with a fried oyster on top. I still dream about it!! WOW! Mussels, fried calamari.. everything was great! I couldn't decide - as always - and the waiter helped me pick the fried shrimp. I wanted grits instead of fries which was no problem. These shrimp were HUGE, juicy and delicious. The grits were creamy and yummy. People also loved the scallops and the shrimp pasta. Cocktails were good and they have a good selection of wines. We ended up getting delicious little desserts on the house. Absolutely excellent experience all around! Service, food, drinks, ambiance, all way beyond expectation. Thanks for dealing with us read more

I had to give this place 5 stars. I came for dinner. The service was great and the food left me with an urge to return again. The ambiance is intimate with other guests but you forget others are there when you taste your meal. My gf and I shared oysters and Jerk Shrimp as well as ordered a couple of specialty entrees off menu and finished it off with their bread pudding for dessert. read more

Came here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday on a Tuesday night and it was packed, I would definitely recommend having a reservation. The restaurant had great views of the inter coastal waterway and it was beautiful seeing the sunset here. For starters, we had the M32 broiled oysters and deviled eggs with fried oysters. I highly recommend the broiled oysters, the balance of flavors was amazing and they were cooked to perfection. The deviled eggs were also good but a little salty for my liking. For entrees, my boyfriend had the seared New Bedford scallops and I had the shrimp fettuccine. The scallops were pretty large with a perfect, crisp sear. The shrimp were plump and paired very well with the tomato-based sauce. For dessert we had the bread pudding, it was too sweet for my liking but my boyfriend enjoyed it. I was a little disappointed that the menu changed recently and they have a completely new dessert selection. I would definitely recommend this place for its views if you want a scenic dining experience. The seafood here is delicious and fresh! read more

I really want to like this place. However, the food was a big miss for us. The location is great and the ambience is perfect! As well as the staff was friendly and attentive. Everyone was happy to be there and the bartender wished as a goodnight as we walked out. I would love to give the staff and location a full 5 stars! The food, sadly, was not worth the price. I've heard wonderful things about the filet mignon here and was so excited to try it. However, when it arrived it was so incredibly salty I couldn't eat past 2 bites. I believe they sprinkle sea salt on top but with each bite I was crunching through the salt granules. That mixed with the sauce they glazed over it was just too much. This was not the quality of a $42 steak in my opinion. The other entree at the table was the bone in porkchop, recommended by our waitress. It was decent. I would have enjoyed that over the steak, but still leaning towards the too salty rage. The saving grace of dinner was by far the pumpkin cheesecake though! We ate it too fast to get a picture but I would go back to get a slice of just that if I could! read more
