About

Black Marlin Bayside Grill is a local favorite for its waterfront views and solid seafood selection. Diners rave about the early bird specials and the fresh catch, though some find the outdoor seating area buggy or neglected. Service is generally friendly, though it can be hit or miss during peak hours. It's a great spot for a casual drink or a nice dinner by the marina. Just watch out for the occasional billing error.
