Marlin Darlin Key West Grill is a very charming restaurant with a trendy appeal. It serves steaks, chops and seafood, flat bread pizzas and a variety of uniquely put-together sandwiches that won't break the budget. The interior has a very Key West, laid-back atmosphere, as does its well-decorated front patio with outdoor seating.

Its "reef n' beef" dish is one of its most popular, with grilled caribbean shrimp served alongside filet mignon shish-ka-bob over island rice and black beans, and a side of pico de gallo for under $13. It also offers an all-you-can-eat grouper fest for only $15, prepared a variety of different ways according to preference.

The restaurant has been in business since 2006, and the owner is from the community. He is also the brains behind other Clearwater/Largo local hot spots, such as the the Salt Rock Grill, Island Way Grill and Rumba Island Bar & Grill.
