In Short
With a great white shark protruding from the left wall, and guys and gals swim trunks marking the restrooms, the playful sea-themed decor complements the eclectic menu. Featring traditional Italian and French cooking with a Japanese twist, the unconventional menu includes spaghetti with spicy Pollack caviar, creamy sea urchin over rice, Hamburg steak with teriyaki sauce, Japanese curry and seafood gratin.

I dislike the whole fusion thing but that's the only way to describe the food here. We usually order the curry plates and they used to be really good. The last time we ate from here the food was not very good. Oh and be careful if you order the sausage curry (the sausage was hot dogs).

HIghly recommend the sea urchin rice. The creamy sauce and the texture of sea urchins blend perfectly together. Adding that to the risotto is just the best risotto recipe ever.

The waiters appeared devoid of all social skills ? when taking our order, our waiter didn?t bother to introduce himself or ask what we would like to order. He just hovered while looking bored and expected us to initiate the conversation. Our food was undercooked and had to be sent back to the kitchen by a clearly irritated waitress who wore extremely too much make up and whose English was hardly perceptible. I have never written a review for any restaurant on citysearch but felt compelled due to the service (or lack thereof) that we received at Blue Marlin. Needless to say we won't be back.
