the black marlin bayside grill

great location tucked back into a little off the beaten path. drinks were cold, food was light and delicious. services was ok, waitress was a bit cold and the one waiter threw food in front of you with out allowing time for you to clear a place. other than that i'd go back again, had thefriedshrimp and flounder. very light breading not greasy at all, awesome sweet potato waffle fries. try it !

even though it says this restaurant has a view of the beach it is hard to see unless you have on of the few tables that are not obstructed in the view. the food was good. i love seafood and theirfriedclams were very well prepared. the breading was very light and the clams were not over cooked. i had the grouper and grits. the grouper was flaky and the grits complimented the grouper perfectly.

service was just ok. we ordered thefriedcheese as an appetizer and it came out on a paper napkin that stuck to the cheese when you picked it up off the plate, so then i got to try and pick all the napkin out of the cheese before eating it.
i had the grilled swordfish as my meal and it was good. my wife had a burger and she thought it was good. my toddler had the cheese pizza and she spit it out and said it was gross.
overall, it was just ok, we probably won't go back.

fun outside bar atmosphere. recommendfriedshrimp and baja fish tacos. do not recommend the seafood chowder or the shrimp and artichoke dip.

my husband and i enjoyed our dinner. the bar staff was very attentive with great happy hour specials from 4-7 pm. while we waited for about an hour, we enjoyed the parmesan-spinach-crab dip which was served hot with tortilla chips. for dinner i chose the sea scallops on the daily special menu. they were the best i have ever eaten, seasoned with browned butter, lemon and bits of pecan. the grits were delicious as well. my husband had thefriedshrimp and scallops. they were very fresh and lightly battered. the wait staff was equally attentive. we would eat here again!

loved it! we had the sushi nacho for app, seafood roll, lobster tacos,friedshrimp and scallops dinner, and kidsfriedshrimp dinner. everything was awesome. best seafood roll outside of maine!! tito's mule is a great drink. fast and friendly service. no complaints!

go for the fish and nothing else. overall it is a decent enough place, they cook fish well, shell fish ok but they cannot cook meat. the family ordered the whitefish special that night, thefriedshellfish platter and a new york strip. as i said the whitefish was well cooked seasoned well and overall tasted great.thefriedshellfish well the scallops were very overcooked the shrimp were nice and the lobster tail wasn't anything to write home about but was good enough. the problems came with the steak, which was our third diners only choice seeing as he wasn't in the mood for fish and every other choice had a chance of being cooked with or in the same device as shellfish which he was allergic to, he couldn't even have fries because apparently they are cooked in the same fryer as the shrimp. any way the steak itself was poorly seasoned and grilled to hell, it was ordered as medium and we went as far to ask the waiter what they prepared medium as which he said pink throughout. when it came it was cut down the middle and no pink was to be found nor pinkish, just well done dark grey throughout. in short go there for great fish but don't order off their land menu

great patio..other reviews said service was bad but i thought it was fine... skinny pina colada or georgia peach both with a grand mar floater will ser u free!! :) awesome drinks..shrimp artichoke dip was just eh..butfriedshrimp oysters and scallops were great with some really yummy slaw...i'd for sure come back!

in hilton head. this is the first review i've written. but this time i can't resist. first of all, my wife had the crab dip witch was so hard she could not dip into it and get it on the chips. besides this, it wasn't very tasty. thefriedcalamari was like cardboard we should have sent it back! now i ask you how can a seafood restaurant have lousyfriedcalamari??? my friend bob had the crispy stuffed chicken breast and found it to be gooey certainly not crispy. now i had the snow crab legs with baked potato and coleslaw and i loved my dinner. the portion of legs were more than enough. the slaw was cold and sweet just the way i like it. the potato was cooked perfectly. and my dinner was a modest $20.00. i was the envy of the table! one out of the four of us was pleased. the other three well... not happy!

not bad, lot's and lot's offriedfood. passed in a pinch, definitely not all that the reviews had it cracked up to be. decent portions, decent prices for hilton head...but if you are looking for something to "jump out at ya" keep looking.
