Their service is so friendly and you truly feel taken care of and get some of those hometownesque vibes. Every dish here is fantastic and is a solid portion size!

When we were camping up at the Platte River National Park campground, we were looking for a Mexican…read morerestaurant that would allow pets on their patio. We originally were told when we called the restaurant that they don't allow pets at all, but then two of our fellow campers stopped there and had a beer and we're asking about pets on the patio and they said sure you can sit at the front of the patio where the Adirondack chairs and fire pits were. So off we headed to Dos Arboles. We had six in our group plus the two dogs and we had gotten there at happy hour so we were able to partake in their excellent margaritas and also some appetizers to begin with when we ordered dinner. The food was absolutely delicious nachos fajitas, tacos, fish, taco, shrimp, tacos everything you can imagine a Mexican restaurant would have and the food was top notch. I was very very pleased. The dogs were well attended. They brought them a bowl of water. The waiters and waitresses came out to visit and then finally the owner came out and sat with us for a while, which is quite unusual as we're not local. It was a beautiful location right across from the marina's. Frankfurt, by the way is a lovely town if I was going to pick a place to retire at that would be our top pick. Dos Arboles received all stars and if I could give them even more, I would! Thank you for a wonderful relaxing evening with delicious food, great friends, and a very friendly staff!

Little bit of every kind of Asian food, and a fun option in downtown Frankfurt.

I suppose I was hoping for something more unique/exciting. It didn't feel too different from any casual Asian restaurant at home.

Let's be honest, you aren't going to the Villa Marine Bar for high-end crafted cocktails and…read moremichelin star food. Villa Marine Bar is the place you visit if you want cheap drinks and a beautiful view! My husband and I visited two nights in a row and didn't leave disappointed. They had a drink special for a pomegranate margarita and it was delicious! I also tried the blackberry margarita and no complaints. I've never had a drink from the Villa Marine Bar and questioned if there was alcohol in it because you test it instantly haha. The staff at the Villa Marine Bar are friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was new to waitressing (she told it was her first shift) and it was amazing seeing how patient everyone was with her. She was awesome and even remembered my group the next day when we visited. I was able to try the popcorn chicken during my first visit. It was okay but as I mentioned earlier, you go to the Villa Marine Bar for the drinks. Most of the people I observed were there for the drinks. The view of the marina was lovely. I visited right before the sun started setting so it was nice to see the color change of the sky.

We arrived on July 3rd about 9:15 am. We were promptly seated in a booth. The place was pretty…read moreempty, with only 3-4 booths occupied. It appeared to be a sports bar and restaurant from how it was decorated and the TV sets playing Tennis. Our server seated us, quickly took our drink order and got our breakfast menus. I ordered the Two Egg breakfast (eggs over easy, Sourdough toast) and my wife got the Big Breakfast, (eggs medium) which she wanted for the pancakes. The meals took a while even though the place wasn't busy. We soon found out the eggs had been switched. Her's were easy over and mine were medium. So we switched the eggs. My easy over eggs were not fully cooked before they were flipped. My wife's medium eggs were cooked perfectly. However neither egg dish was salted or peppered while being cooked. The pancakes were perfect however. Light, fluffy, and delicious!' She shares one with me and I agreed, delicious, light and fluffy. Her hash browns were not cooked except on the surface. Mine were cooked nicely. However again the hash browns were not salted or peppered during cooking as far as I could tell. All and all the food was good for a breakfast place and the serving sizes were adequate for what we ordered.
