I am a fan favorite of the lobster roll because it is fresh and you get big chunks of lobster. My other favorite is the fried chicken it is seasoned perfectly and chicken is juicy but the crunchy crust is to die for. **The chicken is free range and this is where they knock it out of the park. Home run!!! The service is amazing and the atmosphere is quaint and perfect for date night! This place has won Southland's best place to eat several years in a row and I can understand why.

I will start by saying my only con was the portion sizes for the price. I was left wanting more,…read morebut the food is delicious and the manger came through for us when we were about to walk out disappointed. We wanted something other than just burgers again, so I proposed seafood. There didn't seem to be a lot of options in this area, but Dancing Marlin seemed to fit the bill and was pretty close. Before going, we looked at the menu, and there really wasn't anything my little one was going to want on the kids menu - there was no seafood for the kids, not even a basic fish and chips. He saw the lobster rolls appetizer though, and that sold him, so we got in the car and headed down. When we went to order, the waiter told us the only thing they were out of was the lobster rolls, but when we asked about the lobster gnocchi that my other son was about to order, they said they could do that, so I asked to speak with the manager. She explained that they only liked to use big whole pieces of lobster for the lobster rolls, and that is what they were out of, but had the smaller pieces they normally used in the gnocchi dish. I asked if she could do the lobster rolls with the smaller pieces, and she confirmed with the chef so we were back in business. The food was all excellent. I had the seared ahi and it was delicious, but was just a small portion for my liking. The scallops my wife had were delicious, but for $38 it was only 4 scallops. Maybe kids who live around here don't want fish when their parents do, but you should at least have a kids portion of fish and chips, or some fried shrimp on the menu for them. I'm not going to order a $27 fish and chips portion for a little kid, but he also didn't come to just eat chicken nuggets or buttered noodles.

I had to add salt, pepper and msg to their clam chowder for flavor and the clams were too finely minced. And finally the house special seasoning for their seafood boil could have much more flavor (old bay, lemon juice, more garlic, etc), the potatoes would have been better if sliced in half, sausage had quite a bit of cartilage,, and I had intact shells still on my headless shrimp which was a bit of a pain. but the broccoli was great because it absorbed a lot of the butter sauce.

The parking lot was full when we arrived but thankfully there were two unused handicap spaces. After parking and entering the reception area, we were seated promptly and greeted by Debbie, our amazing server! She was so gracious and welcoming. I especially admired the fact that she could recite the specials (there had to be 15 of them, or so it seemed) without batting an eye! She was so attentive and had a wonderful sense of humor. I ordered the mediterranean salmon with au gratin potatoes and green beans, and my husband had the very huge prime rib with twice baked potatoes. We both enjoyed French onion soup for appetizers. The salmon was delicious as well as the potatoes. My husband raved over how perfectly seasoned his prime rib was but could only eat half of it as the size was enormous. He enjoyed a Moscow Mule and I sipped a glass of pinot noir. For dessert, I ordered a slice of New York cheesecake with raspberry/blueberry topping while my husband had a slice of chocolate cake. The desserts were awesome and Debbie made a fresh pot of coffee so we enjoyed our cups of java with dessert while enjoying the relaxing ambiance. Songs by Frank Sinatra played softly in the background while you could hear light laughter and various conversations. Happiness and relaxation filled the room. I didn't want the evening to end. My husband paid the bill, while Debbie packed our leftovers. I had such a relaxing time. Debbie's demeanor and professionalism as well as the delicious food and ambiance are reasons I will definitely be back. If you go, ask for Debbie, and be prepared for a wonderful time.

We got there 5 mins early & we're told they had no ETA on when a table would be available because the venue was booked for party. I asked several times if she knew how long the wait would be, we were okay waiting for a short period of time, not the end of the world. But she doubled down on having no clue and said "I have no where to fit you in until they leave". I then asked why they would be accepting reservations if they knew accommodating them wouldn't be realistic for this evening and the hostess said she didn't know. Given the reservation process requires an email and phone number I asked why someone couldn't have let us know sooner so we didn't get dressed up and come out. Again, she couldn't answer. In disbelief I had to turn to my family and tell them they had no room for us and endlessly apologize for the change in plans. And had to search for somewhere else to go for his birthday. I was just really disappointed & while we drove to the next restaurant, I emailed the restaurants direct website and gave the same feedback. 25 minutes later, while at Francesca's in downtown Frankfort, the restaurant called me for not showing up to our reservation and canceled on me! I am not sure what reality I was living that day, but not hearing back from the restaurant at all after sending them direct feedback on their miscommunication that day, I figure this should be public knowledge for other patrons planning an evening with family for a gathering. Just an all around disappointing encounter. It left a bad taste in my father's mouth & he said he won't be back.
