    Apart from the superb situation everything else was mediocre, and something she ate gave my wife a most unpleasant bout of food poisoning, resulting in an unpleasant night and cancellation of this morning’s appointments. The Black Marlin was the only place we did not eat the same food, so it was definitely the culprit.

    Really poor all round, food was disappointing and undercooked. Waitress argues with us that we hadn't ordered correctly when we had asked for one thing and was brought something entirely different and left us no choice. But on furnishing of the bill, admitted that they got it wrong but we were still charged as had eaten some of it. The food is the equivalent of a poorly cooked fast food outlet rather than a fresh seafood restaurant. Avoid the oysters, most were creamy and nit worth the risk of eating. Avoid grilled calamari as they dont know how to cook. All other items are deep fried in old oil and not hot enough. Will not be returning nor recommending.
