“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! I also love the fact that the meals are made gluten free, from scratch with the freshest ingredients available. The Dancing Marlin takes pride in what they do and it shows.“

“So I visited this place at least three times with a carry out order and customer service was awesome first time. Second I decided to go due to the good food and definitely the customer service, again awesome. Third, I enjoyed my food as always with recommendations from the young lady ( forgot her name). All three times I was either on crutches or knee brace. They were so sweet they helped me with my food to car an even told me to pull up to place and they’ll have my order ready for me! They were very nice to help me and for that I’m grateful. They went above and beyond. They made sure I was taken care of. So I brought my daughter there and she agree with the great customer service. Thank you guy so much. We will see you guys soon.“

We have had dine in and take out and we are never disappointed. The food is scrumptious. The portions are pretty large so sometimes I'll place an order and divide it for the week as a meal prep hack.
The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean.“
