“The dinner was amazing with the best hummus we've ever had to start, Cesar salad (yes, good enough to mention), and The Intern sandwich. All great. I wanted that hummus shipped back to Texas for me. Our server Alex was perfectly attentive.”
“Great outdoor seating. Delish food, some with unusual and yummy flavors . Our server. Katie, was great! Dog friendly patio”
“The Marq delivers an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The food is absolutely delicious, with every dish prepared with care and full of flavor. Everything we ordered was fantastic, making it easy to see why this place has such a great reputation. What impressed me even more than the food was the exceptional customer service. From the wait staff to the managers, everyone was friendly, polite, and genuinely hospitable. The team goes out of their way to make guests feel welcome and appreciated. The ambiance is another highlight, creating a warm and enjoyable atmosphere that makes the entire experience even better. Between the amazing food, outstanding service, and inviting setting, The Marq is a place I will definitely be returning to.”
“Steak Frotes were perfectly cooked and delicious. Fries were fresh and hot.”
“For dinner I ordered, the intern, by recommendation of the server. I must say, it did not disappoint. It was very flavorful and the portion size was just right. I also tried the mushroom mash potatoes. They were not what I expected, but they were definitely a pleasant surprise. I will be ordering them again. The server was very sweet and patient as this was my first time visiting this establishment and I had losts of questions.”
“It was a unique afternoon evening, a little overcast, but just enough sunlight after a long day inside, to promote the outdoor seating. I was greeted with many smiles and was asked right away indoor or out. Inside im sure would have been as delightful as the outdoor proved to be. The wait staff treated my intimate table, as if it was the only table on the block. Their kindness barley surpassing the outstanding food presentation. If I were in a hurry no one would have known. My glasses of water and tea never reached half full. I was in and out too fast. Just long enough to enjoy this much needed break for dinner. The walk home was even more enjoyable with a full belly. No "AI" was used to write this thoughtful review.”
“An expansive downtown establishment offering well-prepared, high-quality plates complemented by exceptionally welcoming service.”
“Fantastic good. The hanger stake (frites) was so good, chimichurri and garlic parm fries were amazing! The intern(sandwich) was also sooo good. And Jay was our waiter and treated us so well. He entertained my request to find out how the drink(figet bout it) I had was made! Very personable and great to talk to.”
“I had breakfast at this restaurant. The tables were clean and the staff were friendly. Anyone who was served by Daniel was lucky, like us! We ordered shakshuka and yogurt. Both were delicious. The restrooms were also clean. I recommend this restaurant.”
