It’s exactly what you expect it to be, but with a few surprises. Plastic cups, deteriorating menus, but great service and even better food and views. I had the coconut shrimp “basket” which was excellent. I also very much enjoyed my rum runners. The special tuna poke bowl looked really good. Come for a meal and views of the bay.

Had the coconut shrimp platter and steak & mushroom bites app and both were very good. Still think about those shrimp. So delicious. Came with onion stings and an orange chutney sauce which went very well. had a Miami Vice to drink that was cold and yummy. We had a bigger group so we were outside which was a little hot and very sunny but it’s Florida. Just not heat my Wisconsin body is used to ;) right on the water so the view of the water and boats was nice too

Was lucky enough to find myself enjoying the Dolphin Tiki Bar, thanks to a wise travel companion, we spent the hour before they closed celebrating the last night on vacation. Excellent service, friendly bartenders and staff, cocktails were delicious and so was the special menu chili nachos & sushi roll. Highly recommend and cheers

What a unique place. The food was good and the view was nice. I highly recommend getting the steak & mushroom bites. That blue cheese sauce is amazing!! The seafood trio tacos were delicious too. The grouper was ok but loved the Mahi better. Service was good. Definitely will come back in the future when visiting Marco Island.

Great hidden gem! This place is outside with both car and boat access. Bartenders are quick to serve and knowledgeable about the food they serve. For starters we had the Marco Bloody Mary and then I had the ultimate sushi with crab,ahi tuna,avocado and cucumber with boom boom drizzle sauce and my wife had the taco salad!

Laid-back vibes, fresh seafood, and unbeatable waterfront views! We had a fantastic time at Dolphin Tiki Bar. The seared scallops were perfectly cooked, paired with a sweet chili glaze and seaweed salad—simple and packed with flavor. The grilled grouper was fresh and well-seasoned, served with crisp coleslaw and a refreshing house salad. We kicked off our meal with drinks—a Dirty Martini for me and a Margarita for my wife—both well-made and hit the spot. We’re starting a journey to visit as many restaurants as possible on Marco Island, and Dolphin Tiki Bar is already a standout. Grab a seat by the bar, enjoy the breeze and marina view—highly recommended for a true local experience!

After a great time on the water, we stopped at Dolphin Tiki Bar & Grill for lunch. Plenty of dock space, friendly service, and a laid-back vibe. The grouper sandwich was fresh and delicious, paired perfectly with a cold draft beer. Great spot to relax!

I had the spicy tune roll and fried scallops. Both dishes were fantastic, just filled with great flavor. I had a Mango Crushin', and two others, but didn't capture the names. However, I don't think you'll find a bad mixed drink. This is now on spots to visit on my next trip to Marco Island. The staff was super friendly.
