Review Summary

MARCUS Restaurant + Lounge is frequently praised for its stunning decor, sophisticated ambiance, and central location, making it a popular choice for celebratory meals and brunch. Many guests highlight the high quality of specific dishes like the seafood tower, truffle pasta, and desserts, along with exceptional experiences at the chef's counter. However, opinions on the food consistency are mixed, with some diners finding portions small and flavors underwhelming relative to the high price point. While many reviewers commend the attentive and professional staff, there are recurring reports of inconsistent service, including long wait times, occasional lapses in professionalism, and challenges with loud music volumes that can hinder conversation. Ultimately, the experience appears highly dependent on the occasion and the specific service team encountered.

Nous sommes venus pour un brunch & avons commandé la tour de fruits de mer en entrée. C'était délicieux & bien présenté. Les autres plats étaient bons mais ne nous ont pas marqués plus que ça. Le cadre par contre est très sympa & le service très bien

Went for a very special brunch with out of town friends.

Ambiance, something you would expect from a venue like this. Great. DJ playing some nice Sunday tunes. Welcomed by hostess who was great as well...

Then, we waited about 15-20 minutes before anyone came back to see us. We placed some drink orders, & that took another 15 minutes (we were a group of 6). The place wasn't busy at all, with APX 8-10 tables going. I do believe they may have been understaffed.

When we ordered food, that was an experience in itself.

2 out of the 6 dishes didn't show up & we had to remind the staff of the order.

Only the Wagyu burger ordered by one of us was decent & enjoyed. The rest of the food was incredibly low quality. Not something expected at the four seasons.

The table ordered
- lobster omelette & potatoes
- Wagyu burger
- regular Benny
- salmon benny
- oatmeal
- traditional breakfast

The oatmeal was terribly bland, seemed like just a bowl of Quaker. No garnish, no fruits, nothing

The Benny was terrible. The lox was full of spines, so clearly not processed properly. The bechamel sauce was clumpy & hard, like it had been made the day before.

Lobster omelette taste like nothing. No garnish, just an omelette. Potatoes were soggy.

Wagyu was the only thing ordered that was on the positive.

Later, we couldn't find anyone to pay our bill. We could have literally walked out & noone would have noticed. Had to get up to see the hostess after waiting about 20 min to get someone to bring the bill over.

This isn't my first time at Marcus, but since the previous times, I felt compelled to write a review because this was a highly disappointing experience. Thought it would be a good opportunity to show out of town friends a great venue like this but was let down & very apologetic to my friends. I know they won't be back for sure.

Came here for a birthday in what we thought would be the best brunch place in Montreal (decor, service & food). I had been here before for drinks & since I loved it, we thought we would try it for brunch.

The place is gorgeously decorated but the food & the service were bad. This is not typical of the four seasons. I think the first thing that should have been a red flag was that the waitress sat us down then ignored us for 45 minutes & we had to get up to get our own water. We then had to wait some more until we found someone to get us our hot drinks. Once those arrived, we were ignored even more & had to wait more time to order. The food that we received was just ok. The pancakes were the only dish we enjoyed. Now at the end, we just wanted to wrap things up but it was very hard to get anyone’s attention. There was an older lady working the floor who was kind enough to bring us water & get our waiter to prepare the bill. She was the highlight of our visit as she was very professional, sweet & hard working. This experience does not respect the typical high quality standards of the hotel & we are not too sure why the wait was so long, but because this experience was so unpleasant, we will not be returning for brunch.

The food was pretty good. I went for breakfast & it was your average fare. Service could have been a little better. We had to ask two people for the omelet of the day & it took way too long getting our bill.
