HONEST take 😕 Over the last 3 years, I've been to this place more than 10 times; Sometimes alone, sometimes on a date, & often to celebrate with family. First, it's a great place, but I wouldn't bother recommend it if you're looking for the best experience in town. While the food feels like it's done with love, it can get quite pricey. The portions are relatively small, & while I understand it's gastronomy, the reduction in size over the past year is notable. The salad tastes quite basic, more like something a cow would eat. I also suggest skipping the focaccia plate in the lounge, as it's essentially the same as the complimentary bread they give free if you ask. Service can be hit or miss. We had some servers who were thoughtful & patient, while others seemed to force their smiles, making it awkward. don't feel compelled to give the 15% tip for service that doesn't meet expectations, especially in places where the staff may overestimate their service. Additionally, there seems to be a consistent issue with getting water... Yes you read it right. Each time I've dined in the lounge, I end up playing a game of eye contact to request water. The only time we received water without asking was when we were CHARGED 24$ for 2 bottles, quite a surprise! We didn't finish it, & they didn't offer to let us take it with us. Waste water... Ultimately, I wouldn't choose this restaurant for an ordinary outing. However, I do recommend it if it's for a time, a moment to share with someone but OCCASIONALLY. Personally i probably won't but I do enjoy the lounge because it's more comfortable, warm, & feels private "less serious". They could definitely improve their service & the variety of food & desserts there but well. While the dishes still taste good & the restaurant is beautifully designed, don't be swayed too heavily by either 1 star or 5 stars reviews. Each experience is pretty unique, & while it's a decent place, it's not the greatest in the area. With some improvements, it could be a no-brainer really exceptional place.

Dès que vous entrez dans le restaurant, vous êtes enveloppé par une atmosphère d'élégance. L'intérieur présente une décoration de bon goût qui prépare le terrain pour une expérience gastronomique inoubliable. Le service est exceptionnel. Nos serveurs étaient à la fois compétents & attentifs, offrant des recommandations réfléchies & veillant à ce que nos verres ne soient jamais vides. Passons maintenant à la nourriture. Le menu de Marcus est un délice culinaire. Nous avons commencé avec la Burrata, qui était crémeuse & parfaitement accompagnée. Ensuite, nous avons dégusté le Portobello Koji (même si nous ne sommes généralement pas amateurs de champignons, c'était fabuleux) & l'aubergine, qui était délicieuse. Pour le plat principal, j'ai opté pour la morue charbonnière. Le poisson était tendre, & les saveurs étaient magnifiquement équilibrées. Mon mari a choisi les côtelettes d'agneau (2 unités), qui étaient également tendres & savoureuses. Le dessert a été une révélation, notamment le gâteau étagé au chocolat. Les différentes textures, saveurs & la richesse de ce dessert étaient tout simplement divines. Il est clair que l'équipe derrière Marcus est passionnée par la création d'une expérience gastronomique mémorable. Bien que le restaurant soit assez dispendieux, je le considère comme une expérience culinaire qui vaut chaque dollar.

Don't let the cocktails menu stop you. They'll make almost whatever you want, although the Aperol Spritz was maybe a little too sweet... The ambiance on the lounge with sunset was so great that we decided to order a Seafood Tower (sufficient for 5 & delicious) with wine & drinks instead of waiting for our table in the restaurant. I highly recommend!

Je n'avais pas eu l'occasion l'année dernière d'aller au restaurant. J'étais restée au lounge! La cuisine y est savoureuse & les serveurs aux petits soins. J'ai également apprécié la présentation des desserts. Je recommande !!!!

Friendly, attentive service & luxurious yet surprisingly kid-friendly! We dined around 6:30 pm with our 5 year old & were reassured to see they had an extensive kids' menu. The adults enjoyed expertly prepared cocktails, fresh seafood & wonderful appetizers (recommend the salmon tartare & roasted whole cauliflower), & even the 5 year old was happy with the fresh pasta & chocolate ice cream for dessert. The service was truly wonderful, making us feel like everyone was included (even kiddo). Try to get a seat in the open air section, great on a warm evening!

Had a beautiful meal here while staying at the hotel. We sat in a circle booth & I highly recommend them- so comfy. One of my favorite touches to the restaurant is the extensive noise reduction they did. It was packed on a Friday night, service was extremely prompt & we could all hear each other no problem. We got the seafood tower, fish entrees, the waygu & the cauliflower. All the dishes were to die for & don't sleep on dessert!
