After two decades in business, the owners of Marlin Grill at Baytowne Wharf have made the difficult decision to close.

This comes just three weeks after a kitchen fire brokeΒ out at Marlin Grill causing some serious damage.

According to the South Walton Fire District, the fire’s damage was contained to the commercial kitchen area, however the sprinklers inside did flow a heavy amount of water throughout the restaurant.

  • The SWFD Fire Marshal completed an investigation into the incident and determined the fire was accidental in nature, likely related to improper storage of cooking supplies and materials.

β€œWe would like to first thank all of our incredibly loyal patrons for dining with us these past 20 years, we are forever grateful to have served you,” wrote Marlin Grill in a statement.

The owners also thanked the men and women who have worked at the restaurant.

β€œThe memories made here will be forever cherished, and we are honored to have been a part of your many celebrations over the years,” they continued.
