The Lobster Rolls are fabulous. The Sangria is what keeps us coming back. Or is it ? the crab cakes?Dietary restrictions: I'm Pescatarian and I love the options.

Went on a Friday night. Very crowded and very loud. Service was great. We did the tapas thing. All the food came out quickly. Everything tasted great. Well done.

Dancing Marlin catered a delicious taco buffet and nacho bar for our company party at CD &Me in Frankfort. Everyone at the party loved the food, the setup and the service. Multiple people at the event asked were the food was from, as it was authentic and tasty. Jackie and Stephanie were very helpful throughout the planning process and answered all of our questions right away. They worked with us to create a customize menu to cover all our needs. Everything from start to finish was great!

The service was great but the food was incredibly disappointing, especially for the price. It was just not good. Will not be coming back.

This place describes it self as an upscale casual restaurant, upscale it is absolutely not. We came in after hearing about this place from a coworker. This is just a Denny's with better food options and alcohol. Nothing about the environment was inviting. We felt rushed from the moment we walked in. A short interaction with the manager on duty displayed her unprofessional demeanor without hesitation. Food was brought to the table we did not order and the drinks were nothing to write home about. Skipped dessert no need to stay around for another disappointing moment. We have ice cream in the freezer. Take your money somewhere else.Parking: lots of parking

We wanted to eat outside on a beautiful day, and even though the patio wasn’t open, they agreed to wash down a table and chairs, and set us up out there. So the atmosphere was incredibly great and then we were pleasantly surprised with how fantastic the food was. the crabcakes were to die for, the flatbread and the mashed potatoes were absolutely wonderful. It’s a little pricey, but worth it if you only go once in a while. I had wine so I don’t know how the drinks were. I will be back!Vegetarian options: I also eat fish so this perfect for me. Probably a little limiting for a true vegetarian, but you wouldn’t starve. Food is awesome, small plates

The menu selection was very good. The pork belly tacos had the perfect cook of crispy outside and tender inside pork. The oysters were so fresh, we felt like they had just been pulled out of the water. Our server, Jeff, was very attentive without being annoying. Definitely will be back.

Our family had the pleasure of choosing Dancing Marlin for our daughters baby shower last weekend. Our party planner Stephanie was absolutely INCREDIBLE!! She made it effortless from start to finish! Her attention to detail and communication throughout gave me such reassurance! Every text phone call and email was answered immediately regardless of time of day. She went above and beyond each and Everytime! Id ABSOLUTELY suggest planning your next party here. Food a 10 out of 10. Beautiful place ! Stephanie is amazing !! ?

The service was excellent. We had the Easter brunch consisting of breakfast, lunch, and dessert. It was a little pricey but worth it.

I was very much looking forward to Easter Sunday with my family at your restaurant. I was especially looking forward to having lobster rolls. I personally spoke to one of your employee representatives to make sure lobster rolls were available on Easter Sunday and he assured me they were...they were not, the reason for my visit. WE left immediately and will never return. James jennings
