   Our waitress was very nice but clearly overworked. Our orders took a very long time and by the time they arrived, everyone's meal had clearly waited under a heat lamp. I would not revisit.

   The service and atmosphere was impeccable. Our food was also very good - lots of flavor and the seafood pasta was perfectly cooked! Would definitely recommend for a nice night out!

   Buffet very good. Smoked salmon outstanding. Would have preferred de-veined shrimp but those served tasted very good. Also certainly would have preferred beef not cut beforehand but sliced as needed. Employees very friendly. Seats in bar area became quite active after new bar customers arrived.

   We went for our Anniversary dinner and pre show dinner before going to play at the OC Art Center… Dinner at 5 show at 7. We never got our dinner until 6:40… we had to have it to-go ! The appetizer and soups were delicious but timing was way off for a not too busy restaurant. Also a HUGE disappointment was lack of dress code enforcement. It was our first time there and based on website photos and expectations were were dressed ‘smart casual’ - there were people in bathing suits with NO cover up and some with cover ups … Shorts and baseball caps…. Its Dinner time… But is guess they are not trying to have the class I expected of them. The hostess should be FIRM and sent them back to their rooms to change… Enforce the dress code!!!!!!!!! That made it just more frustrating. The dinner itself which we ate the next night at home was delicious… We loved the food. Compliments to the chef… but disappointed with the ambience and very slow service - which would not have mattered if we were going somewhere and they new it. We are actually coming on Easter this weekend… The menu looks great …. Let’s hope there is no one in a bathing suit for this special day!

    We enjoyed the restaurant week specials which were an excellent value. The server was very pleasant. In the past I’d always felt that MM was exquisite and just didn’t feel that anything was remarkable, but it WAS very good and worth returning.

    My dinner was delicious at Marlin Moon. This was my first time visiting this restaurant. The risotto was magnificent. The server was a joy, attentive and very pleasant. I would definitely recommend for a dinner in Ocean City. I didn't know where the restaurant was once I arrived at the Doubletree hotel, so some additional signage would be nice.

    What a pleasant surprise - went on the recommendation of a local. Was spot on. Service was bright and affable … Food was equally on point (Tuna Nachos, Bang’n Shrimp appetizers, followed by Crab Cakes from regular menu and the Seafood pasta from the special menu. Would definitely go back … amazingly well run for this time of year.

    We love coming here. The food is outstanding! The shucked oysters are the freshest you’ll ever get. The bartenders and wait staff are dedicated and you can tell just enjoy their work. We always make it a point to come here when we visit ocean city every couple of months from the DC area. We are always pleased!!

    We’ve been several times, and in the past had a terrific meal. Our only complaint had been the slippery chairs, which we made sure to avoid this time. This time, however, was very disappointing. Each entree, whether steak or fish, came out on a plate piled high with the same mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. No matter what you ordered, you were getting about 2 lbs of mashed potatoes and vegetables. It felt like we were at a convention or large wedding where they were churning out quantity and hurriedly slopping the sides on every plate. Our assumption is that the regular chef is out of town for the winter, and the winter chef isn’t very good.

    I wish you could give 0 stars. We were shown to our table and forgotten. There was a large party and two other tables in the room. We looked at the menu, we’re not even given water. After we closed our menus at the 15 minute mark. signaling we were ready to order. 10 minutes later we were still ignored as a waitress checked on the big table several times and looked past us. Needless to say we won’t be trying it again. Instead we went to Blue Fish Restaurant, sat at the bar and enjoyed their great food with great service.

    Went here for a Valentine's Day date. The chairs are a bit weird, saw many people besides us sitting awkwardly. The VDay menu looked great, but we were very disappointed by the soups & the brussel sprout appetizer. Soups were grainy & lacked flavor, the Brussels weren't roasted and a bit undercooked. The main course saved the meal - the lobster tail was cooked well, the crab cakes were plump, and the filet was melt in your mouth. Generous portions of sides with the entrees - though the vegetables left a lot to be desired, but the mashed potatoes were very good. Took the dessert home with us as service was a bit slow due to it being so busy - that was also good. Have a lot of empathy with the current labor challenges and it being the off season in a beach town. They definitely put in a valiant effort service wise for how busy it was.

    Food was good but expensive. The average couple would find this a little out of budget for a normal date night. Glasses of wine selection was limited.

    We stayed in the Doubletree for a winter getaway Thurs - Sat. The restaurant was not crowded for dinner until Friday night, close to Valentine’s Day. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and the wait staff were friendly and attentive. The decor is modern and comfortable, with big windows along one side letting in lots of light. We also had breakfast there several times. I like that they leave a pot of coffee with you. I can recommend this place for any meal.

    Marlin Moon in Doubletree Hilton Hotel - overpriced terrible fine dining Being regular winter Ocean City visitors, we chose to try a new fine dining venue at Marlin Moon. What a huge disappointment! The crab bisque was basically a rue with zero crab meat unless you count 3 slivers. My Harvest Chicken entree for $30 consisted of a dry piece of chicken surrounded by a mountain of potatoes and undercooked vegetable medley. My partners appetizer of 4 shrimp was a tasty saving grace. Our server Jackie was the best part of the dining experience. At their prices, we will not gamble another expensive mistake and will stick with our previous great experiences like Crab Alley.
