    Thought we would try something different. It was pretty good but don’t need to return with so many other choices in Ocean City. We stepped into a clean and serene atmosphere and not crowded at all for the off season. Ordered crab dip as an appetizer and received luke warm crab dip with a loaf of ice cold bread in the middle as if it was not fully thawed. Received a replacement which was much better, however, the center of the loaf of bread was still cold. We knew going in what entrees were offered, however, the lack of sides was disappointing; garlic mashed or fries for the starch and asparagus or broccoli cauliflower mix for the vegetable. I didn’t like either vegetable so I ordered the asparagus to give to my husband as he was getting the vegetable mix; we both received the asparagus. On a slow night there was no need for a mix up; the waitress should have caught that before bringing to our table. The shrimp and pork chop and garlic mashed were delicious.

    Our waiter Richard was an amazing value added to the evening. His knowledge of the menu and recommendations made our evening extra special, but…the winner was the fresh ingredients, flavors and unique flavor combinations. Can’t wait to visit Marlin Moon again.

    Crab Cakes best I ever had. Mom's Shrimp was incredible, the sauce it's served with was on another level. Drinks were spot on. Service provided by the bartender, Eric was perfect. He helped guid various patrons into their selections, including myself. Very laid back, not rushing anyone , had everything under control.

    Jackie was attentive. Drinks were good, my date would’ve liked a larger bourbon selection. Food was tasty.

    Unfortunately not what we were hoping for. One out of 4 meals was not good at all, one meal was pretty darn good and 2 were just ok. Our nice bottle of saldo wine was very warm, warmer than even room temperature. There were about 40 screaming 8 year old boys in the back who really ruined the atmosphere. We would’ve stayed for at least another bottle of wine or perhaps even desserts as well, but we’re pretty perturbed and chose to leave without complaint.
