   Our waitress wasn't very attentive. Water glas was empty and food eaten for at least 15 min before she came back to wait on us. Lobstermac and cheese was all noodles very little lobster for $30. Grouper was a very small portion for the price but tasty. The turns tartar was delicious as were the cocktails.

   A nice place to have a good meal, along with a good conversation with friends. We never felt ruched!

   Three of us enjoyed a great meal - two had the grouper & thought it was great. I had the triple tail special & it was fantastic. The sauces on both were exceptionally good. The key lime pie was superb, as was the chocolate cake. Paul took great care of us and dining by the water at sunset made it even better. It is pricy, but worth it!

   As local women who like a beach/water view outdoors, we like to come to the Four Marlins for lunch, but your bird problem really takes away from the experience. Our server was great, the food was great. The birds were NOT...

   My wife and I in town from NC our fifth year in a row from NC spring visit to Key West. We out for dinner celebrating our fifth anniversary. We were referred by staff at Mansion by the Sea where we are staying, a few blocks from Four Marlins. We sat outside, enjoying the beautiful ambience and sunset. It went downhill from there. We had grilled sourdough bread before dinner, a big disappointment. It got worse, entrées were not well prepared and over priced. With wine, beer (Not cold) and tip, we spent over $200, very unsatisfied. We were going to order dessert, but decided we had enough, paid and left. I was especially disappointed, being a Hilton Honors Gold status member, with Four Marlin in the Reach hotel, Hilton property. Needless to say, we will not return to Four Marlins, but hope they can recover and improve.

    Service was slow and inattentive. App came out before drinks. Was never asked if I wanted another drink. Waiter never checked on us. Was supposed to be sat on the beach for the tasting menu but was sat on the deck instead and no tasting menu. Scallops app was really good. Drink was ok when it finally made it. $67 filet had zero seasoning and came with steamed unseasoned string beans. Really not worth the money.
