The whole experience was amazing. The food is fresh and all the dishes is especially delicious, I can't describe it in words. The guy who served us was a very nice person. The music and the place is inviting, cozy and relaxing. Highly recommend it.

We showed up post-hurricane with no reservation, a newborn baby, and zero expectations--except maybe to be turned away. But instead, we were welcomed like old friends. Huge thanks to the amazing woman at the outside bar who got us a seat inside-you made our night! We...Read More

Tucked away on charming Bridge Street, Blue Marlin is a true gem on Anna Maria Island. The atmosphere is cozy and coastal, with a welcoming vibe that fits perfectly into the laid-back island charm. The standout dish? Without question, the shrimp and grits — absolutely phenomenal....Read More

Had a wonderful meal here! Love the atmosphere! Very cozy! Delicious food and wine! It really stood out that the owner of the business is very involved. From seating customers, to refilling water, he cares about his business! I can't wait to go back!

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 dining experience here. I highly...Read More

Cozy spot, good people, great food; easy to recommend for a good dinner out! Really a good balance of a nice place without being overly stuffy or fancy, it's definitely a relaxed atmosphere. I'll look forward to coming back next time I'm in town.
