Wow. Flavor!!! The jalapeño mescal mule too. All the food was full of flavor. A great stop for us on the way home to Florida from Tennessee. Gumbo. Shrimp and grits. She crab soup. Calamari and crab cakes!
I had a Fantastic Lunch with my Bride today at Blue Marlin!! The Seafood Gumbo (no rice for me) is sooo good. We then get the Taste of the South appetizer and split it and still have leftovers. This appetizer is a meal by itself. Fried green tomatoes, firecracker shrimp (with red peppers that will hurt you), crab cakes loaded with crab, Southern Caviar (homemade pimento cheese)!!! To make lunch perfect, we had the best waitress, Katie, that you could ask for!!!
I so wanted to enjoy this. I usually don't leave poor reviews but feel like there needs to be some balance in the reviews as we were in town for the weekend and used google to pick this place. Came here for the shrimp and grits and let's just say I only ate a quarter of it. Texture was a bit off (both too loose and chunky) and on the bland side. We also had the salmon with scallops and it was also not finished (it's not often we leave scallops uneaten but they were over cooked). The plate had some conflicting flavors going on. We did an appetizer sampler (not on menu), shrimp were tasty, crab cakes could use some additional seasoning, the pimento cheese with fried pita was tasty and the fried green tomatoes were a bit over fried. Maybe it was an off nite based on all the good reviews. Waitress was super nice and friendly though and at least the prices were reasonable. Parking: Parking meters in lot stopped at 6pm.
