What People Are Saying About Blue Marlin

Citysearch
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.
Creamy Sea Urchin Over Rice .. DELICIOUS!
by finedine2008
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.
Undercooked food, horrendous service
by nabisco
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.
- Pros: Nothing
- Cons: Rude service, uncomfortable seating, bad food, no parking, rated B
tasty curry, bad service
by gracemiles
The food is pretty tasty here but not always consistent. I especially like the curry although they have a lot of interesting dishes that are good too. However, the service is bad. The servers don't even acknowledge you when you walk in, and even after waiting 5-10 mins, they still won't. Pretty rude.
- Pros: good and interesting food
- Cons: service
