I was really impressed with the Blue Marlin, and I had a great dining experience here! The first thing I noticed about the Blue Marlin was how elegant and sophisticated the inside of the restaurant was. I felt like I was transferred back in time to a different era, and I loved the upscale environment that the restaurant presented.
Having said that, I sat at the bar, and arguably didn’t even get the full Blue Marlin experience. Nevertheless, and in spite of how classy the restaurant was, I still had an awesome time at the bar. I got the chicken tenders and fries, as well as one of the local IPAs that they had on tap. The bartender (I wish I had gotten his name) was a really cool guy, and I was very appreciative of both the service he provided me with as well as the fact that he took the time to chat with me like a regular person. He displayed the perfect combination of professionalism, without coming off as robotic. My aforementioned tenders and fries were pretty good as well, and I liked how they carried some local beers to compliment the brand name items.
All-in-all, I really enjoyed my visit to Blue Marlin, I’ll definitely be back in the future, and I’d recommend that anybody stop in at least once!

I went for the first time with a small group. My daughter got a kids hamburger and fries.she ate half before she realized her hamburger was raw in the middle. Straight red when they do that for kids burgers? It made her sick and she was in the bathroom for awhile and I had to check on her bc her stomach was messed up. I asked for an order of hush puppies but you couldnt buy a side you had to buy the restaurant special. That’s crazy that this is a seafood restaurant and you can’t order hush puppies or a few aren’t giving with your order. Especially with everything so expensive. I asked if I could substitute the red rice and was told yes so I ordered something else not knowing there was a up charge for that. You should clearly tell folks that bc it didn’t state that on the menu. I order the salmon charleston. It was suppose to have a cream shrimp sauce. There was barely any sauce on my salmon and only one yes ONE little baby shrimp in it. The Caesar salad was not fresh and very dry. That’s crazy to me. The salmon was moist mashed potatoes were good. The best part was the bread . lol will I go back no. The only time I will if a group of friends want to go.

The Blue Marlin in Columbia, SC is an absolute gem. The crab cake entrée was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor, one of the best I’ve ever had. The Southern Candied Pecan Salad was just as impressive, fresh and balanced with just the right touch of sweetness. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious Southern-inspired seafood and a welcoming dining experience.

The complimentary bread with butter was delicious, but the shrimp and grits was bomb. The crab cakes with rice and collard greens was delicious too. The inside had a historic and cozy feeling to it. Overall, I would return to this place whenever I’m in Columbia again.

Amazing Staff for starters, amazingly food that follows. Enjoyed my night here and I will be back soon. A special thanks to Stephanie if you stop by before I do tell her I said hi and keep up the great work.

We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary with dinner at the Blue Marlin. The staff and waitress were super sweet and courteous and took very good care of us. We ordered dessert and they took the charges charges for that off our bill because of our special anniversary. We did have a great time. However, the food itself was a little disappointing. Our crab cake appetizer was barely warm at all. My shrimp and grits was extremely salty (dangerous for heart patients! Caused me palpitations throughout the night!) Also, for me, there should have been a few peppers, onions – some kind of veggies in there, or a side vegetable served with it. No veggies at all in my dinner. On the plus side my husband’s steak was cooked perfectly, and the Key Lime Pie was great!

I had high hopes for this restaurant, but everything was just average. The ambiance was nice, but nothing stood out. The food was okay—not bad, but not memorable either. Service was fine, but lacked warmth or enthusiasm. It’s not a bad spot, but it didn’t quite live up to expectations.

The she crab soup here is fantastic!! The restaurant is located in a really nice area, the atmosphere is calm and great to talk. The dessert is perfect to share. My family truly enjoy it!

It was a nice lunch for our large group. We had a big round table that could hold 8-10. The menu was pretty big, but we all ended up having different renditions of 3 dishes (shrimp and grits/crab cake/pasta) The service was a little slow especially since the restaurant wasn’t full. The drinks were good and the food was served in generous portions.

We stopped in here for dinner before attending a concert and couldn’t be happier with our choice!
The atmosphere was so welcoming when we entered and we were so well taken care of.
For drinks, I had a strawberry pineapple mule that was so refreshing and my hubby had a hard cider.
A basket of warm bread & butter was brought out and was the perfect balance of crisp exterior and tender interior.
For the entrées, I had fried Gulf oysters with fries and slaw. The oysters were cooked perfectly and were tender & succulent when I bit into them (left my hubby try one ). My hubby had the special of bacon wrapped filet with crab cake & green beans. The filet melted in your mouth and barely needed a knife and the crab cake was low on fillers but high on crab ! A fab surprise was the bowl of house made greens that our waiter brought us on the house. No kidding these were the BEST greens that were so tender with big flavor complemented by the all-day cook, hamhocks, and zip from the vinegar.
For dessert, we shared a slice of the BEST, most vibrant key lime pie
