I can't think of a single negative thing to say about Blue Marlin. My husband and I have been going here to celebrate our anniversary for the past 3 years and we are never disappointed. We always go with the "Chef's Tasting" menu, which is a 4 course meal of the chef's choosing and each course is paired with wine (upon request).
We were pretty bummed when we learned that the Chef's Tasting was no longer on the menu, but were thrilled to learn that it was available by reservation!!!
We are warmly greeted every time we visit Blue Marlin. We always make reservations and our table is waiting for us when we arrive. Servers promptly come to the table to take drink orders and bread and butter arrives shortly after. The servers are attentive and genuinely care about giving customers the best possible dining experience.
I love being surprised as each course arrives and each one is better than the next. The best dish during our last visit was the second course. It consisted of two scallops in a thick, mushroom sauce. There was also a bed of kale with bacon and some spicy element that was amazing. It was kale.. But I couldn't stop eating it!!!!!
The location is small and inviting and provides a GORGEOUS view of the Capitol. I would recommend Blue Marlin to anyone for a perfect date night. Can't wait to go back!
