Marcello's Ocean Grille & Spirits

Came on New Year’s Eve and they had a special menu. Had a great evening with friends and everything tasted spectacular! Service was divine and can’t wait to go back! We even got to hang out with JuanTrout!

Great bread for starters garlic and crispy with fresh marinara sauce. Ordered the pepperoni pizza with jalapeños it was nice and crispy with a great tasting dough and perfectly cooked crust. Love the bar area great TV to watch some sports. Great environment right next door to the lighthouse really cool views and neat lounge area inside the bar area with comfy chairs and different seating all over. Great place!!!!

You MUST try this beautiful establishment out. The atmosphere is so quaint, nice background music, tables are spaced out so you are not backed up to each other, and you can actually carry on a conversation with your party and not have to shout. The Cesar's salad was so fully of flavor and so fresh. I got the Shrimp Carbonara it was amazing it left me speechless. It was absolutely delicious 😋 I wii definitely be back for more. Dad got the shrimp and grits and he loved it; I thought he was going to lick the bowl (I didn't get a picture). Hubby got the spaghetti with meatballs and the meatballs were bursting with flavor. We will be back next trip in to town. Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere. ❤❤

Had a wonderful dinner in this newly remodeled restaurant with new menu. The restaurant has been redone in pale gray blue and white tones. Nice outside area that faces the lighthouse. We started with an Italian margarita- excellent and the complimentary bread - focaccia- fresh and great herb mixture. Then we tried the Rockefeller’s trio which was a yummy mixture of shrimp, lobster, oysters, spinach and bacon. Not a lot of oysters or lobster but tasted wonderful - can get without oysters. I had the 16oz rib eye which had a great smoky flavor; came with potatoes and steamed vegetables with soup or salad choice. We both choose the corn chowder which was creamy with a hint of chicken. Husband had the seafood crepes - which was light stuffed with seafood and a creamy sauce that did not overwhelm the seafood (shrimp, crab and scallops). We also had the molten chocolate cake which was more than enough to share. Comes with ice cream and chocolate sauce. Restaurant was quiet. There is a bar to the right when you walk in as well as the outside seating. While we were there a family came in so high chairs were available. Prices were in the higher mid range with dinners running from $15 to $30. They accept credit cards. We were seated at the window facing the lighthouse. The restaurant is located on the Port Isabel square right off the main road that leads to bridge. We went back for Sunday brunch. They had nice soothing music in the background and different menu. I had crab cake eggs Benedict with lobster sauce which was very yummy. Adam has chicken and waffles with Maker’s Mark sauce. All was yummy with good service and still a great view of the lighthouse. Came back again for lunch for the lobster roll. Lobster is flown in fresh daily and the roll is soft and delicious. I get it with fruit but it comes with fries or chips. Ate outside so nice

Had an excellent dinner her with my wife. The meal started with thick, warm, fluffy, complimentary garlic bread that was excellent. We started with the Spinach & Artichoke Al Forno that was served with dipping bread; it was also very good but the flavors were a little subdued. I then got the crab bisque soup and my wife the salad with Italian dressing. The bisque was phenomenal, and while her salad itself was very underwhelming, my wife loved how tart their dressing was. For the entree I got the Pecan Crusted Salmon which was an outstanding blending of flavors with the fish, pecans and coulis. My wife got the Chicken Picatta and really liked the dish but thought the sauce could use a little more zest. We finished the meal by splitting a slice of tarimisu that we enjoyed. Overall the service was good but there was a long wait between finishing our meal a getting our check (10+ min), in which our waitress came in and out of the room three times ignoring us.
