The Black Marlin 560 El Camino Real, Tustin, CA 92780

"The food was hit or miss. The soups were delicious. But the main course was a disappointment: one steak was over cooked but the flavor was good, and the sides were plain.. The price does not match the quality and quantity. Service was good and the atmosphere was cool."

"I really wanted to try this place after seeing the many reviews. They have weekly specials and went on the $1 per oyster day. The oysters are itty bitty so $1 sounds about right. The clam chowder was very good but pricey for the small cup. The salmon and crab salad was just ok. The salmon was fully raw in the inside and browned on the outside. My friend sent the salmon back to cook more but they brought in back with raw spots. Also, I couldn’t really see the crab meat. When you feel like you need to give the cook some cooking lessons… hahaha. The service was good and restaurant was pretty empty for a week day lunch but I heard the evenings gets extremely busy."

"I wanted to check this place out, voted one of the best places in Orange County, based on my experience that's way overrated, the restaurant looks nice and clean, really full for a late lunch time, the bar looked ok too, the turkey sandwich was disgusting, my wife ordered clam chowder and a burger, those items were good but not amazing. We spent around 50 dollars for lunch, no drinks, so my opinion is to never come back... Thanks for reading my review."

"The hostess was great we where seated quickly. Our waitress was awesome. She was friendly and polite. What was ordered: 1) salmon fillet 2) French dip sandwich 3) Garlic Cheese Bread Every thing tastes great. The fish was well season and tasted fresh. The cheese bread tasted great and hot out of the oven."
