Thirsty Marlin, Palm Harbor

The waitresses look like a old football team from the fifties.The male manager was hangin out messing with the young underage hostess.(sexual harrassment soon to follow) one day probably. Bartender watching t.v.The sevice was dispicable and the place needs a good scrubing. Wooden floor looks terrible and the walls needs cleaning bad. What happened to the days when CUSTOMER SERVICE was first. NOT AT THIS PLACE. To top it off the manager says the owners don't care so why should any of the employees this guy should have been fired a long time ago.

Nice website LOL ridiculous event page... these guys are simple armatures. You can see it upon arrival of the web site or restaurant. People like this should not be successful. Expensive seafood not prepared real well, arrogant staff, dirty surroundings wait I am sorry why did I go here. Honestly for good seafood try Sea Sea Rider, Thirsty Marlin is exactly what it says a plays for thirsty cougars to hang out. Seafood is not there specialty it’s just a hang out.

EXPENSIVE for what you get... and was bland tasting....lots of other far better places for less money right in the area.. we tried it once.. never again...

i really like this place! good food, great atmosphere. On the weekends if you sit outside, under the tent they have a live band which is fun!

WHAT A DIVE! TOO EXPENSIVE, other places serve better seafood for half the price. Reminds me of a bait shop.

Great Coconut Shrimp & Buffalo Shrimp! Alittle pricey

This place is consistent with good food and service. The Fried Green Tomatoes are Excellent and the Prime Rib Quesadilas are large and good. I used to only order the seafood here, but they have other wonderful things. We also have dined at the one in Largo; it's good too. I like sitting in the bar area where service is faster, but if you like the atmosphere outside is great! It makes you know you are in Florida. They also have bands frequently.

My family and I recently had dinner at the Thirsty Marlin and even though there were 8 of us, the service was excellent and the food the same. We moved to the Clearwater area about two years ago and have been hearing about this restaurant ever since we moved here but for one reason or another we just hadn't made the trip and now we are sorry we put it off. My husband even ordered a steak that he said was one of the most tender he has eaten. I had salmon cooked on a cedar plank that was fantastic and I had a bite of my son's Grooper sandwich and WOW was it good. I would recommend the Thirsty Marlin to anyone that wants great food and service. I also understand they are opening a new one near West Bay and Missouri ave in Largo which is closer to where we live. YEA!
