The Golden Lion, Flagler Beach's iconic beachfront restaurant, is reportedly planning to open a second location, this one in Palm Coast. According to Toby Tobin, who hosts the Sunday morning radio show, “Real Estate Matters” on WNZF, the Marlow family who own the Golden Lion have closed on the purchase of a 5.15-acre parcel located between the Intracoastal Waterway and Harbor Club.
The Golden Lion, opened in 1998, has become a destination eatery along Flagler Beach's waterfront and recently constructed an additional deck.
Chris Marlow told Tobin on the March 5 program that there are permitting and easement issues still to overcome before the plan can move forward. Marlow said that Golden Lion plans to work with the City on access issues and beautification plans for the neighboring areas.
Marlow added that the menu of the new restaurant will continue to feature Golden Lion menu favorites like fish and chips.

The buyer, RCG Ventures, is a privately funded real estate investment group that acquires and develops commercial real estate. The company’s primary focus is value-add anchored shopping centers with the potential for long-term ownership.
“We are excited about our recent acquisition of Cobblestone Village which fits RCG's strategy of acquiring well positioned assets in healthy secondary and tertiary markets throughout the country that allows us to add value through best in class leasing and management,” said Scott Tarbet of RCG Ventures.
