Al's Upstairs Italian Restaurant

Blue Marlin ( Dining / Other ). Located at 1200 Lincoln Street. Legend holds that the wealthy English, German and French plantation owners along the Carolina and Georgia coasts preferred a blander European cuisine, but while they dined in all their elegance, the aroma of Low Country flavors coming out from the back kitchens could not be ignored. This simple fare, created from what the good earth provided, is still a hallmark of the Southern kitchen some three hundred years later. www.bluemarlincolumbia.com Link
