Blue Marlin

Delicious sea food. I ordered the pan seared scallops and was very impressed. Service was great and your drink was always above half. The whole family had a great experience and will definitely be back.

Taking our first adventure to Columbia, SC, we happened upon this totally delicious restaurant for an afternoon lunch. The setting is delightful, the food fantastic. We chose to eat outside on a relatively warm February day. We enjoyed the She Crab soup - best we have ever eaten - a crab cake sandwich with a very tasty wedge salad, and the fried shrimp lunch entree. Between the quality food, the ambiance, and the beautiful weather, it was a perfect experience. Highest recommendation for this lovely establishment.

Recently, I invited 15+ guests here from out of town in Columbia for conference. The servers ensured we were taken care of unlike the host. The servers lined up tables for a big community table! Even though some of my guests walked up on the servers talking negatively behind our back, everything worked out anyways. The out of town guests were very appreciative for the great food and service regardless of the behind the back comments.

The service from our waitress Mary made up an otherwise pretty disappointing dinner. The firecracker flounder had the skin on and nobody was happy about it, fries were tasteless, coleslaw very dry, and shrimps nothing special.
Food wasn't "bad" overall, but way overpriced.
Kids menu instead was generally good and very abundant, no kid could eat it all.
Special mention to Mary, she was kind and attentive, very patient with the kids; she also spent time talking with them. I haven't seen such a service in a while.

Great atmosphere. Coastal cuisine that's often hard to find inland. Our server knew his menu. Great cocktails and good selection of local beers on tap. Portions are good sized. Food was fresh.
