Best patio in Frankfort area, a great atmosphere and the service and food overall can't be beat within a really reasonable price.

Sat outside even tho it was chillier than we planned. 3 of us went for bday dinner on a Monday night. Wasn't crowded & received great service from hostess, server & busser. The 7 for $7 menu was great, we ordered wine & 4 small plates off of that + peach burrata crustini & 2 desserts (+ they brought out tiny blueberry cheesecake for bday girl). Always love it here & appreciate the changing menu throughout the year.

Food was very good, had to have the fish tacos made a second time because they were way overly salty. Restaurant is very nice but music is way too loud for anyone to enjoy conversation while they're eating.

My daughter and I had a great experience at the restaurant. We were there checking out the possibility of a baby shower. The waitress was very informative and gave our information on to the manager and we think this is the place. We will have the shower. We had the breakfast buffet And it was very good and there was lots of food for the two of us.

Mediocre food, had the “special “ seafood over pasta and flatbread. Not bad food but nothing so great that makes me want to return. We went for my birthday, while making the reservation on line they asked if there is a special occasion, answered yes my birthday. I guess they were taking a survey because they do nothing for special occasions.

Everything was delicious, tho I did find the chopped salad somewhat lacking...it didn't have the pasta as other restaurants do. Service was great!

Nice meal on a beautiful night. We had several of the tapas choices on our visit during the Happy Hour - $7 selections including wine. Had the pork rind tacos, cheeseburgers, short ribs and a few of the $2 oysters.

We have been coming here for the past 10 years for birthdays, Valentine's Day, and anniversaries, but tonight will be our last time dining here. The hostess/manager took more time worrying about her friend at the bar then seating us. She made sure her friends table was taken care of with drinks and food before anyone else's. Our waitress came to the table twice throughout the entire meal and we had to ask other wait staff for condiments and straws. The chicken had bones in it. The calamari has plastic in it. The waitress didn't know how to add rewards dollars to the bill even after we explained it to her. Dancing marlin is not what it used to be any more. Such a shame that a great place has turned into this now.

Always full of knowledgeable customers, this place offers a menu that is as inviting as it is creative. Every time we come here, one dish is always on our table: general Tso' cauliflowers~ Crispy, tasty, spicy, delicious! And all the rest we try is at that level. Portions are made to be shared, which adds to the personality of the place. If only something could be done to lower the noise level. it would be a stellar place!

Amazing everything!! Everything we have ever ordered from here has been nothing short of out of this world!

Overall it was the highlight of our anniversary weekend! The Sous Chef went the extra mile and made something for me that wasn't on the breakfast menu! For that alone you have a customer for life! And that panne cotta is epic!

The shrimp tostadas were very good, otherwise the food was fair. Way too noisy, even without a large crowd where I could not hear our server. We went there for the lobster rolls which were not on the menu; a huge disappointment.

Love everything about this restaurant! Love that the menu changes frequently, that the food is always fresh and recipes they use are different than things you get at other places. Servers are always knowledgeable and helpful and portions are plentiful.

Dancing Marlins is a neighborhood GEM! It offers a variety of foods with uncommon combinations that are simply SCRUMPTIOUS! I would highly recommend! Looking forward to our next visit 😋
