The Grand Marlin makes Top 100

Florida recently finished second in the U.S. among states with the most top-rated eateries for dining al fresco. The online restaurant reservation and review service OpenTable’s annual list of 100 Most Popular Restaurants for Outdoor Dining included The Grand Marlin of Pensacola Beach and 16 other Florida restaurants.

Why this matters: The list was created by analyzing over 13 million OpenTable diner reviews.

  • OpenTable Chief Growth Officer Susan Lee said, “Outdoor dining is up 19% (year-over-year) for June (1 – 15), a strong start to the season. With many restaurants elevating outdoor dining spaces for summer and beyond, this list represents dining destinations with incredible outdoor and culinary offerings.”
