Marlin Moon Restaurant

Marlin Moon is one of my absolute favorite places in Ocean City — a true must-visit every time I’m in town. The moment you walk in, the ambiance sets the tone: coastal, relaxed, yet elevated, with beautiful scenery that makes the entire dining experience feel special.

By now, I’ve tried almost everything on the menu (including a few dishes they sadly no longer offer), and I can honestly say the food here never disappoints. My all-time favorites are the lobster tail and Freddie’s Seafood Pasta — both are consistently fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. They used to have a crème brûlée that was one of the best I’ve ever had — I still miss it!

Another thing I love is how accommodating the bar team is. They are always willing to customize drinks, which adds such a personal touch to the experience. Whether it’s brunch cocktails, a glass of wine, or something creative and off-menu, they make sure you get exactly what you want, or at least, that has been my experience.

The quality of the food is consistently excellent — fresh seafood, vibrant flavors, and generous portions. The staff is friendly, attentive, and professional, making you feel welcome whether you’re with a big group or just dropping in for a casual meal.

Marlin Moon is the kind of place that works for any occasion. I’ve been here for girls’ trips, family vacations, and casual nights out — and every single time, it’s been a hit with everyone.

Between the food, the vibe, the service, and the views, Marlin Moon delivers a perfect Ocean City experience. If you’re in town, this is a place you have to try at least once — but trust me, you’ll be coming back.

Located inside the Double Tree Hotel the restaurant did not disappoint regarding service and food. Wait time was limited and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly. The steak was full of flavor and perfectly cooked (medium). It was seasoned with a garlic butter sauce. I also purchased the 5 oz crab cake which was delicious and packed with lump meat and very little filler. My friend ordered the lobster dish and was very pleased with the meal. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was nasty and cold the potatoes the toast even the sausage. My partner had to send the toast back. Then my server avoided coming back to the table. To be nice the coffee was great.
