Black Marlin Bayside Grill

Hours
Where it is
Get directionsThe Black Marlin Bayside Grill sits at Palmetto Bay Marina, 86 Helmsman Way on Hilton Head Island, with a patio under live oaks that looks toward the water. It leans into a Florida Keys mood, and it is one of the SERG Group restaurants. It is a good stop for a big table of mixed tastes, since the menu runs from grouper and seafood platters to burgers and pizza.

The signature is the Hurricane, served in a glass you keep as a souvenir, and the marina’s Hurricane Bar does frozen cocktails. Use the menu button above for the full list.
Reservations and Seating

What diners say
