Blue Marlin Restaurant - Columbia

Was an awesome experience. The staff was very friendly and the service was amazing. Our server Hillary went above and beyond to ensure we have a great experience. Their portions are very generous and the prices are very reasonable. We'd ordered multiple items, however I loved their She Crab Soup and the starter variety with southern pimento cheese. Update: Visited again at this place and the same amazing experience. Will definitely recommend and visit again.

We came for drinks and appetizers on our date night. We got fried green tomatoes and the fried shrimp appetizer. They both tasted absolutely great? The flavors worked so well together, and we will be back next visit to SC. One thing I will say I was not fond of the blueberry lemon martini it reminded me of NyQuil. The espresso martini was great, it has the best flavor. Our server was friendly and brought everything to the table rather quickly even with the restaurant starting

I had a Fantastic Lunch with my Bride today at Blue Marlin!! The Seafood Gumbo (no rice for me) is sooo good. We then get the Taste of the South appetizer and split it and still have leftovers. This appetizer is a meal by itself. Fried green tomatoes, firecracker shrimp (with red peppers that will hurt you), crab cakes loaded with crab, Southern Caviar (homemade pimento cheese)!!! To make lunch perfect, we had the best waitress, Katie, that you could ask for!!!

I went to this restaurant with my wife to celebrate. I can honestly say the service, the food, and the atmosphere was great!! My wife and I ordered 4 appetizers, 3 meals, and a dessert. I can honestly say that we never had to worry about sitting with tons of plates as our server, Dononvan, made sure it would come spread out to allow us time to try everything and wrap it up to go before the next set of plates came. All 8 plates were seasoned and cooked to prefection!!

Great service, large portions of tasty food at a terrific price. Pecan dusted Calamari, Fried Green Tomatoes, Shrimp n Grits, Creole Shrimp, Firecracker Flounder x 2. Our party of four visited late lunchtime, it was crowded but we had made reservations ahead of time and were seated immediately. Looking forward to a return visit for the salt and pepper catfish.
