Friday evening dinner near sunset time was perfect. Great service, beautiful view, excellent food and NOT crowded.

What a wonderful Birthday party. Our server was super attentive. The food was creative healthy delicious. I was really pleasantly surprised. Price was doable. It was a great night for our party.
Julie
My husband and I HIGHLY recommend Red Marlin. The food was so delicious. We will definitely be going back the next time we stay at The Hyatt. If we lived closer, we would go more often.

We came to this restaurant for dinner and were really looking forward to it. My wife doesn’t speak much English, so she had prepared by searching for pictures of the food and drinks beforehand. When we were seated, an Asian male server greeted us, but unfortunately, he seemed impatient from the beginning.
When my wife asked about drinks, he quickly listed a few options and immediately told us to just look at the menu. She tried to show him some pictures of the items she had looked up, but he said they didn’t have them—even for the main dishes like steak. He only repeated that they change the menu often and we should just read it.
We understand that menus change, but we expected at least a few suggestions or a more helpful attitude. Instead, we felt rushed and unwelcome. Disappointing service overall.

Sour cream the my baked potatoes was rancid and the swordfish was overcooked. For the price, very disappointed.

Last Wednesday we swung by the Red Marlin at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay for a quick nightcap after dinner offsite. We arrived just after they had closed for the evening (their Dinner & Lounge hours typically run to about 9–9:30 pm), so we were ready to call it when the bartender stepped out, asked if we were only looking for drinks, and kindly reopened long enough to pour a final round. We ordered double bourbons, grabbed seats at the bar, and swapped stories while he finished closing tasks—professional, efficient, and friendly throughout. The setting here looks out over Mission Bay, which is part of the appeal and a nice way to end a day in San Diego. We appreciated the hospitality and the “yes” attitude at the end of a shift; small gestures like that earn repeat business.

We ate here twice during our stay and had Charlie twice as a server. Both times he was professional and attentive. Enjoyed our dinner.

Terribly disappointing dinner. The Red Marlin has been our Special place for anniversaries etc for many years. Tonight that ended. It was a terrible dinner. I had a dinner salad for $18 that was maybe 6 bites. The ONLY meal I have ever sent back in my 67 years on the planet. My wife had the salmon which was drowned in jarred Thai Chili sauce. I could have made that meal in my camper. We paid $45 for it. So sad that their food has gone downhill while their prices skyrocketed. The one positive was the staff. They were wonderful. Unfortunately by then the night was ruined. Ed Vodrazka.

Ate here while staying at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay. Overall a good experience. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Expertly handled our allergy concerns. Food was well prepared with multiple options outside of the standard resort fare. Food was probably a little overpriced, but expected for a resort hotel. Look forward to returning.
Breakfast at the Red Marlin wasn’t as good as expected. It seems that each time I return the buffet has less and less items. I commented to the waiter that the breakfast as more like that at a Hyatt Place than what I usually get at a Hyatt Regency. As Globalist our breakfast was a no charge benefit for us…the recipe showed $90 for two with Orange juice and a cappuccino…very expensive for the slim offering with few items. The second morning we skipped the free breakfast at the restaurant and ate elsewhere.
What has been one of our favorite properties the HRMB seems to be skimping on F&B while also letting the building and furniture show its age.
I will most likely return but may stay at the La Jolla HR to compare on my next trip to SD. A great staff keeping a historic property as well as they can. The lowly breakfast was really a let down and may be the impetus to stay elsewhere.

Had reservations. Got there early for happy hour. Found out they don't have happy hour anymore.

Wonderful service, location, food, and beverages. Outstanding meal with large portions, great taste, wonderful presentation. Ordered drinks before and during dinner, and they were excellent. We are returning for a second night to try other items on the menu that looked interesting.

Ordered the prime rib, after a couple bites I had a piece lodged in my throat and couldn't breathe. Banging on the table trying to get attention, eventually barf if up. Then I was offered a very rear cheese burger and had to pay for both.
