Reviews for Blue Marlin Seafood Restaurant in Bradenton Beach, FL

Server Tim was a classic. Food was outstanding but VERY pricey. Quaint atmosphere and very clean. Hesitate to take young kids at... that price???? Read more

A much needed experience!!! The food was amazing! For the appetizer the crab cakes were perfection accompanied with brussel... sprouts in a sauce, all went together perfectly. I had the Grouper entree with vegetables and rice. It was cooked justright! The customer service was 10/10 the bartender sent out a free martini sample that was delicious, they served me edamame asa pre appetizer snack. The waiter checked in often to see how I was doing and if I was enjoying the food. I would suggestsitting outside, I had the entire outdoors to myself. It was a perfect dinner experience! Read more

Blue Marlin is an excellent option for an outdoor beach scene with decent seafood. The menu is on the smaller side and the... options are pricier than surrounding places. The complimentary edamame was unique and one of favorite parts of our diningexperience here. I highly recommend ordering the shrimp and grits even if you think it is lame to order out since it’s aneasy meal to make in your own home. They have some of the best shrimp and grits I’ve ever had! The catch of the day wasgrouper paired with a pineapple salsa, rice pilaf, and broccoli. This was a good but not spectacular meal and was overall kindof bland. The lobster grilled cheese was extremely good but would not recommend ordering that at a place like Blue Marlin. Read more

Great dinner with group of four. The pecan crusted black grouper was fresh and delicious. Service was on point; very... professional, fast and friendly. We sat inside by the bar, cocktails were excellent. We are locals and love this place. Makereservations early, it’s worth it. Read more

NO! No , I am a local. This used to be the place to always get a good meal. So sad , not anymore. I chose the filet $$55.00 with... potatoes and vegetable. My boyfriend got the whole snapper $48.00Thai style w/ rice and veggies. The Demi glaze on my steak wasso salty I couldn’t even swallow it. I love salt.My potatoes tasted old did not taste like a potato. My boyfriend who normallyclears his plate could not even finish his food it was not even edible as he says. The rice was hard. The vegetables were drywith no flavor. Maybe they forgot the sauce. Don’t waste your money???????????? Read more
