I try to be reasonable with reviews, especially during COVID. I honestly rarely write reviews about food/service at restaurants. Today my husband and I received a burnt appetizer, fine. We got over it. I then opened my entree which was rigatoni with vodka sauce and omg it was horrible. The entire dish was oil. I know that vodka sauce is clearly made with oil. However, the entire dish was orange grease. It was almost like they microwaved it and threw it in a to go container. We will never be going back. I spent almost $50 on an appetizer and 2 entrees that went right into the garbage. This is supposed to be the time they want to build clientele, unfortunately they did the complete opposite.
UPDATE 1/29/2022: Just take a look at the owner's responses to customers—they're quite disappointing. It seems like they're only addressing certain reviews. There's a reason this place has a rating of 3. I've never been there, but I attempted to visit tonight with a group of friends. We knew it was last minute, but we thought we'd give it a try since our plans had just been finalized. However, when I called, the woman who answered the phone was incredibly rude, unpleasant, and unhelpful. Because of that experience alone, I wouldn't consider trying again.
We had a great experience! We are renting a house in Point Pleasant. I asked the owner for recommendations and she recommended Marlin’s Cafe. The service was wonderful starting with a call about having a large party to the wonderful service tonight! Our waitress, Danielle was great! She was very attentive and fun to talk with. I would totally recommend this place for families or for anyone!!
The bartenders are amazing! However, the chef leaves much to be desired. They really need to learn about seasonings and how to use them effectively. It's astonishing that they managed to mess up such a simple dish like chicken fajitas. What a disappointment! This restaurant has so much potential with just a bit of better management. The location is ideal, making it such a shame!

If I could give this place negative one star I would. We were waiting for a table for 5 minutes. Absolutely no excuse. The waitress was horrible. She sat two women behind us first because they wanted to go outside. We walked out hungry and annoyed.
This is an outstanding sports bar with an adjoining liquor store. I find myself loving New Jersey more and more each day that New York City remains closed! The Jersey Shore in January has that charming local vibe, and it’s a hidden gem...
Marlins Cafe is consistently a delightful and enjoyable experience. The staff is exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The drinks, especially the shooters, are incredibly creative, which always adds to the fun...
Friendly wait staff. Plenty of room for social distancing and wide variety menu. Went twice in one week. Shrimp and flounder frances atop flavored rice outstanding. Basically a sports bar with a 5 kitchen.

My family decided to try this restaurant when all the nearby places were packed, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit! I can't speak to the other comments regarding the bar experience...
