"Our dinner was great. Ordered a lemon drop martini, amazing sugar rimmed glass. Apps calamari, delicious crab cakes, clam oreg. Wonderful service. Decorated beautifully for the holidays. Dinner did not disappoint. I had rib eye cooked perfectly, ordered mushrooms and baked potato. My friend had the lamb chops with crabmeat. Bone licking good. Waitress was very attentive. Checked on us all meal long. Did not rush us and host came by a few times to check. We will definitely be back. Checked all the boxes for a great night out with amazing food, service and atmosphere."

"I had another great experience at this restaurant. Both the service and the food were excellent. I had two items of the role selections. Both of the two selections were perfect and taste great. I was seated immediately when I came in the door. The service was very informative about the different roles, and I was told about many great selections. I have been here numerous times; I will continue to eat here for the great tasting food and the excellent service. I highly recommend this excellent sushi restaurant"

"I happened to be in the area and stumbled upon this nice little restaurant. I decided to stop in for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised by the perfect portion sizes. The highlight of the meal was definitely the diner's delicious home fries. My husband also enjoyed the meal and we appreciated the attentive service from the waitress. Although there was limited parking, we were able to find a spot and enjoy a quiet meal together. I can't wait to return to this restaurant again in the future."

"Took a guest over the weekend, am disappointed to have gone here. Only one type of Roti bread, only chicken for meat every other place I see Two varieties of nonveg chicken and goat or fish and food taste was average, not the Akbar food that I experienced much earlier. Many other places give a much much larger spread, more so on a weekend. Silver lining is that there were few customers that meant no wait time like at other restaurants"

"I picked up four meals for takeout today for a very important birthday celebration. The meals were expertly made and had lots of flavor and quality. I was very thankful that the hosts did a good job of calling me back about changing my order. Absolutely the best part of my experience there today was being able to see Casey. When you spend good money at a business especially a restaurant it is great to see someone who asks how you are doing and is truly genuine and kind. Just seeing her today and knowing that she is still an important member of the team makes me want to frequent that restaurant. Thank you Shadows for having such a great asset as Casey on your management team. It makes all the difference in the world"

"I enjoy going to Taos for Happy Hour with friends. I have also had a good lunch experience there before. They offer a nice selection of beer on tap and their wines are better than many other places in the area. The food is Asian fusion style and some dishes are quite delicious. My partner absolutely loves the swordfish dumplings. The appetizer sizes are generous for the price and it's fun to order a few and share them with the table. They recently removed some seating in the bar area to make space for larger communal tables. While not ideal, it can be slightly uncomfortable to have strangers sitting right next to you, especially if you're with a group of friends."

"We entered downstairs at 6:30. We were told we 'd have a better chance of being seated upstairs in the pub, so we did that. We ordered beverages (2 waters, one beer) around 6:35 and then ordered our meals (potato skin appetizer, beef stew special, burger special, grilled chicken sandwich) a few minutes later when our drinks arrived (around 6:40). At 7:10, after watching tables who came in after us get multiple rounds of drinks and even their entrees, I asked our server where the appetizer was. He said it 'd be out in a minute. At 7:15, we were served overcooked (dark and crispy) but cold potato skins. While we were eating these, the server came back to say that they 'd just sold out of the burger special and we had to choose something different. My friend ordered a different burger. At 7:45, we still didn 't have our entrees. My husband went and found the waiter and explained we had an 8 pm concert to attend, asking where our food was. Our food was brought to us at 7:50, a full hour and 10 minutes after we placed our order. The chicken sandwich was completely charred and the burger that was ordered medium-rare was well done. During that whole wait time, the waiter never came back to refill drinks. We left the restaurant at 8:05. It is unbelievable that other tables were in and out faster than it took us to get a simple appetizer. This waiter needs major training. It 's clear he didn 't put our order in when he took it. We were late to the concert we paid good money to see due to his ineptitude. We will not be stepping foot in this restaurant again."

"I went to Dancing Marlin to celebrate my birthday on 12/27. This was my first visit and it was absolutely extraordinary at all levels. We called at 4:00 to see if we need reservations. Jackie answered the phone and her warm, bubble voice sold us. We came before the restaurant was opened, and Jackie said we should come in. She was gracious and treated us like old friends. Becky was our waitress and she was the best! Very warm, knowledgeable and exceptional service. All from French Martini to Spicy Shrimp, to Crab Stuffed Peppers, to Salmon Tacos was dying. Not to mention the homemade butter Pecan ice cream and brownies. Great. I can't wait to come back and bring my friends. It's worth the 10 miles trip. Birthdays are very special for me and Jackie and Becky were the best! Thanks again for your warmth on a very cold day and delicious food. Next time, Darlene and the My Best Girls Crew!"

"Our group ordered the Halibut Cocktail, Burrata, and Truffle Fries to share, and I chose the Pork Chop as my main dish. Everything was delicious and fresh. The Pork Chop was a thick cut, and even though I don't usually eat much pork, this dish was incredibly juicy. We also shared the Apricot Crumble and a scoop of seasonal ice cream for dessert, both of which were delightful. Our waitress was attentive and courteous. Overall, this is a well-established local restaurant with several other locations in the Bay Area. I would definitely consider returning to explore more of their menu."

"I’ve read so no so flattering reviews about this place and ended up trying it anyway. This is now the third time. Two times take out once sitting in for full service. I can’t say I had the same problems as many. The staff were professional. The food has been good. They even have parking. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is I believe they could be a little cleaner. To be clear, the food prep areas were always clean. Again, I will going back again. I think this place is worth a try and I will update if I ever have an issue."

"Met up with some friends to catch up and to enjoy a great meal. The waitress was very attentive! We ordered a cheese burger, the shrimp kabobs and I had French Dip, (Freedom Dip). Before ordering, my friend inquired in the French Dip is good. The waitress said that it is a crowd favorite and very rare. Sounded good, so I ordered it. It came out very well done and chewy. I sent it back and ordered a burger. My friends loved their food, especially the kabobs. On a side note, they go rid of the benches and replaced them with regular tables, so no more sitting with strangers! We will definetly be back, but I will choose something else from their menu."

"Our first time here at this hidden gem in Stirling! The service was impeccable- thanks to Ron who took care of us throughout the evening. We were never rushed and had a relaxing enjoyable dinner. We had a scallop/butternut squash appetizer and salad -both were delicious. I had the zucchini parmagiana and my husband had the seafood linguini with black ink pasta. Both were very good -excellent in taste however both were unevenly heated. The pasta was hot but the mussels and lobster were cold, shrimp warm. My dish was good but the pasta underneath was lukewarm at best. They took my husband's dish off the bill and replaced it with another dish- at no charge! i didn't exchange my dish. The fresh bread was wonderful (although would be better if it too was warm). We will definitely go back to this family owned, customer focused restaurant."

"Food tried too hard and tasted like they put too many ingredients in, in order to cover poor quality. Gnocchi was really odd, gooey with a sauce that was supposed to be Jambalaya but tasted like watery curry. Garlic bread was so oily you could hardly eat it. Both probably would have been great with a little less less cheese and garlic and the bread would have been better pick one flavor for the gnocchi and it would have been better. The cocktails were early college quality too sweet and watery. Our waiter was amazing though!"

"We walked in at 10 PM and were greeted by a nice lady. She informed us that although the kitchen closes at 10:30, she would be able to serve us, no questions asked. That was really nice. The food was pretty tasty. I was pleasantly surprised they had fresh wasabi and it paired nicely with the sushi I got. Mushroom soup was truly amazing. Wok charred edamame was a big no no. Go to Nagoya Sushi for legit wok charred edamame. The hibachi was subpar at best. You can tell from the pics that the steak just isn’t great. Also the fried rice was overcooked and burnt. But the ice cream was tasty and it ended our meal off on a good note, despite the fact that it literally came while we were still eating our entrées... P.S. Beware of the cold water in the bathroom!"

"We had a dinner reservation and were seated promptly. However, it took at least 10 minutes to receive our beers and our dinner was not served until later. Our server seemed to be absent and kept mentioning she had to address an issue, but would be with us soon. The burgers were delicious, but the fish and chips were lacking flavor and overcooked. My son enjoyed the wings. If we return, I would definitely order a burger again. Just be aware that this restaurant is best for watching the game and enjoying bar food."

"If you're in the area and love sushi and salmon, you absolutely have to check out this place! My husband and I usually order the butterfly roll, which is a must-try, along with the California roll. This time, though, we wanted to mix things up a bit, so I asked the woman taking my order for a recommendation, and she suggested the Nagoya sandwiches. They were incredible! They come with rice, avocado, salmon, smoked salmon, and I'm not quite sure what else, but it was all absolutely delicious!"

"HORRIBLE horrible horrible. First of all let me say that I have been a customer for the last five years. The food and atmosphere used to be so wonderful but the last year or two has been mediocre at best. The food quality has gone down, the quality of the dining experience is low (with dirty tables everywhere, dirty dishes, an absolutely horrific bathroom, and staff that look like they don't want to be there)... but tonight is the straw that broke the camels back.... I ordered a dish on DoorDash and thought that I had added a request in the notes section. I had not, which was totally my fault but I called to see if they could accommodate my request anyway. I was meant on the phone with just about the rudest most low class woman I've ever spoken to in a professional setting... I was in the process of telling her what happened and she kept cutting me off to argue and yell. I was so confused as to why she was angry so I told her that I didn't call her to argue and that I needed her to just hear what I was saying so that she could understand the full scope of my question. She put me on hold quickly and then put a manager on the phone who mimicked her same nasty attitude and horrible disposition. It was so disappointing that I called back to speak with the manager again and told him that I didn't appreciate the nastiness and that they had lost a customer... He said absolutely nothing as if it didn't even matter. Well I hope it doesn't because I will NEVER GO TO OR ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN!!! The idea that you think it's appropriate to yell at people or be nasty because of a simple question is ridiculous...these times are hard and people are hurting and if I wanna treat myself and my family to a night out to dinner I don't wanna have to argue through your mediocre food in your nasty staff to do it. there are too many great restaurants in Chicago with wonderful customer service to deal with them..."

"We made a reservation for our 34th wedding anniversary dinner at Flying V, following a discussion with the hotel about post-COVID dining options. We were told there was outdoor seating and we could bring our own wine with a corkage fee. However, on the day of our reservation, we received a voicemail informing us that there was no outdoor seating available and we had to eat inside. Unfortunately, we were also told that we couldn't bring our own wine. Despite this confusion and miscommunication, our server Preston was kind and the food was excellent. Hopefully, as things return to normal, these issues will be resolved. It can be difficult to find fine dining options while still considering virus risk."
