The appetizers served 45 minutes before dinner, were fresh and delicious (chilled shrimp with lemon and cocktail sauce, smoked salmon with herbed cream cheese and capers, assorted cheeses and fruit.). Individual salads were served before dinner, which consisted of very fresh avocoda, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes..drizzled in a light dressing. Rolls and little pats of butter were served as well. After salads, dinner was served buffet style.... Angus beef tenderloin, Bernaise and horseradish sauce, chardonnay chicken with forest mushrooms, gratin of potatoes with Parmesan and chives, green beans saute with basil and lemon...all prepared to perfection....delicious in every way! After a few toasts to the celebrated couple, we were individually served desert... cheesecake drizzled in raspberry sauce. All in all, it was a perfect evening. Mr. Jones' staff was very professional. Individual cloth hand towels donned the restrooms. I rate this experience with a 10+.... ten being the highest rating.

It was, by far, the best thing here - The shrimps were OK, nothing to write home about. BUT the cocktail sauce was INCREDIBLE. So put that on everything! - the mini deserts were OK, but nothing special. Get the steak and the cocktail sauce...yum yum!

My fiance and I are huge fans of Blue Marlin. We both think it's the best restaurant in the Capitol…read moreCity. So when we went got engaged, the first place we looked was at Blue Marlin and we were excited to find they offered a catering service! Unfortunately, we can't speak of the quality of the catering because they don't follow up. I myself was a catering manager in a previous career, and gave them the benefit of the doubt that something had gone wrong with their email correspondence when I never received a return communication by email or phone, so I called to follow up. Three MONTHS later, I called and left another message. At this point, I'll assume Blue Marlin is rockin' the city so hard with business they no longer need to offer these services. If this service on longer exists, they should do a better job clearing it off of the Blue Marlin website and Yelp.

Wil Bradberry was our waiter; his service, hospitality and knowledge of the food, region and history of the building was phenomenal!!! I would have given the restaurant five stars just based on his service and the way he made our family feel like we were the most important customers in the restaurant. However, the food is incredible, the entire staff is very pleasant and the venue is gorgeous. Since my family is not from the South, Wil took time to explain the different dishes and even brought us collard greens to try for free. They were amazing! I had the Salmon Pontchatrain with the She Crab soup - delicious!!! My husband had the Trout with the BLT Salad and our son had the Teriyaki Salmon - needless to say we were all trying each other's dishes and enjoying every bite!!!! I tried grits for the first time as well and was very impressed! We also had the Blackout Cake - I don't know how we managed to finish it all but we did. I wished we lived closer to Columbia because we would frequent the Blue Marlin regularly. If you have not tried this restaurant, I strongly encourage you to try it soon - you will be glad you did.
