I get the Lobster Ravioli everytime that I eat at the Blue Marlin. My husband always tried something new and always loved every meal. He tried the Lobster Ravioli once and now only gets that. This is our all time favorite meal. It comes with shrimp. It's gourmet style with spinach and red peppers. I never eat these but here I do. From what I understand, the cook is only 25 years old. Absolute remarkable meal. The sour dough bread served before the meal is outstanding. If your lucky enough to get their butternut squash then the meal is complete. They just never seem to have enough of it. If you go on a Saturday, expect to wait. Sunday would be better but probably no squash. Enjoy!!!

There is something for everyone at this restaurant. From the baked haddock to the finest steak, I have always had the best and freshest quality. Don't turn down the salad;it's excellent.

The five stars is for the clam chowder in particular. Since moving to San Francisco, I have had more than a few terrible clam chowders. It's like people are afraid of a little cream and fat. These...

The food at the Blue Marlin is based on typical New England fare. But they have nice Specials of the day regularly. Often they have homemade soups. Every order tastes as though it were freshly prepared. Great...
