The irresistible aroma of Low Country flavors drifting from the back kitchens has long been a hallmark of Southern cuisine. Legend tells of wealthy English, German, and French plantation owners along the Carolina and Georgia coasts who favored a more refined European fare. Yet, even as they dined in elegance, the rich, simple aromas from the back kitchens—created with ingredients provided by the land—were impossible to ignore. These flavors, still celebrated today, continue to define Southern cooking nearly three centuries later.

Located in the heart of Columbia, SC, Blue Marlin proudly showcases these time-honored flavors through signature dishes, blending African, West Indian, and Caribbean influences. The culinary journey extends further with selections inspired by the bold Cajun and Creole traditions of the Louisiana Delta, a region as rich in distinctive flavors and seasonings as South Carolina’s Low Country.

Whether it is light appetizers and drinks, heavy hors d’oeuvres, a family style buffet or a formal seated affair, the Vista Room offers the quality of food, excellent service, amenities and ambiance that are sure to make any event a success.
