We really wanted to like this place more. After two visits, the outside seating might be the reason we'd return. The service isn't what bothered us, but the food had a lot of issues. The clam chowder was too salty, and the lobster roll was bland with soggy lobster meat. The soft shell crabs were overcooked, one tiny and the other a reasonable size. The burger sounded good, but they cooked it well done without asking how I wanted it. The pork belly was soft, and two bites gave me a mouthful of fat that didn't sit well. The fish was good, though the chips were pale and soggy, while the sweet potato fries were overdone. Also, how does a full bar run out of sliced lemons before 1 pm?

We brought some out-of-town guests to the Gnarly Marlin for lunch yesterday, our first visit. The place was clean and service excellent, and the food was top notch. We each tried something different: Oink, moo, and cluck burgers, fried shrimp, blackened fish, and a cubano sandwich. Every dish was delicious. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

A club group of about 50 of us visited the Gnarly Marlin for lunch, and they handled us and the other customers without missing a beat. The food was great and the service excellent. I'll definitely be back.

The staff waiting on us were very good, and my lobster roll at lunch was spot on. Highly recommend this place!

The service was good. Luckily, she didn't ask what we thought of the food.
