I love the service, everyone knows their stuff and if they recommend something ..... listen to them..

We have been enjoying the Dancing Marlin for years and they never disappoint. The friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable staff always gets the job done right. I have dined in many times and have catered several events as well. Most recently I took advantage of the Thanksgiving Feast to take home and prepare for my family. It was delicious and easy to prepare with Chef JR's instructions. I truly appreciate the thought put into each dish. The flavor profiles went together harmoniously!...read full review

Dancing Marlin was a caterer for my wedding. When I tell you, everybody complemented the food, everybody complemented the food! dinner at my wedding was very quiet because people loved it and enjoyed it so much😂. Jessica was absolutely an angel to work with. She was amazing and answered all of our questions perfectly and was very prompt through emails
if they are a catering option for any event or wedding, highly recommend them!
