Blue Marlin - Gulfport

Glad to see they reopened and can't wait to come back for brunch. I got Catfish, shrimp and grits, hubs got the surf and turf. The filet on the surf and turf was very small, probably a 4oz cut. We finished the evening with the Wharf Pie.

Good food, great location, good service, just a bit boring. Need bigger better outdoor seating (your on the beach for God sakes). We want to feel on vacation , not like we 're in a fancy cafeteria. Also need some good laid back jam on some good quality speakers. Small live bands here and there would do the trick.

We sat outside. The weather was perfect and it was quiet!

Only negative comment I have is that we were seated in our own room overlooking the sound and it was across from the bar . A trio of obnoxious people came in and sat at the bar. They seemed to know the staff. I'm sorry I'm not a bad person but the female with them was dressed in a short top and short cut off jeans. I am tired of going to what I consider a nice restaurant and I dress nicely and someone comes in looking like they are going to a biker bar. I will come back but ask for a different table

We ate outside because the weather was pleasant. It was quiet , the view was nice, and the server was attentive. I ordered the seafood gumbo, which contained one shrimp and no crab. The flavor was good. The shrimp pasta was fine. My companion's seafood platter was good. The hushpuppies were excellent. All was acceptable, nothing special( except maybe the hushpuppies). Prices were reasonable enough. Not many choices for wines by the glass.
