Frankfort's Dancing Marlin Wins Diners' Choice Award

Diners have flocked from across the south suburbs to sample the cuisine at Dancing Marlin in Frankfort—and they’ve loved what they’ve tasted.

The restaurant, nestled at 20590 S. LaGrange Road, was recently lauded by Open Table diners as one of their top choices. Open Table offers online reservation and review options for customers.

“Our seasoned diners have selected Dancing Marlin for the Open Table Diners’ Choice Awards this month,” OpenTable wrote to Dancing Marlin. “From cocktails to dessert, they were impressed! Diners’ Choice Award celebrate top-rated restaurants. Each month Open Table features Diners’ Choice winners for all of our diners.

Customers rave about the restaurant on Open Table.

“”We loved the casual relaxed atmosphere of the place,” one wrote. “The calamari tacos are a favorite as well as the sausage flat bread. Looking forward to returning and trying some more of the fresh fish specials.”

“We used to live in Chicago so we were spoiled with good food,” another wrote. “Moving to the ‘burbs it was hard to find good places. The only place we truly love and that compares at all to city food is Dancing Marlin. It is absolutely fantastic and recommend it to all our friends. It’s so good that when we have family visit this is the place we bring them to.”

Another praised the restaurant’s ambiance and unique cuisine.

“Nothing else like this in the southwest ‘burbs,” a reviewer wrote. “The subway tile, mason jar lighting, and modern American tapas menu give you the feel of a restaurant downtown. The menu is unique, seafood specials are offered daily, and I have not once tried something that I didn’t like. Great place for a date or just to step out of the box and try something new.”

The restaurant’s management team announced the Open Table accomplishment on their blog and Facebook page.

“We are extremely appreciative of this award and will continue working harder and harder as we strive to present the best dining experience possible in the suburbs of Chicago,” the team wrote in the blog. “A very large thank you from us to all of you who shared their positive experience at Dancing Marlin with the Open Table team. We can’t wait to see you again here in Frankfort to celebrate with us.”
