We went to celebrate a family birthday and were very pleased with every aspect of our visit. Our server, Amanda, was incredibly engaging and anticipated our every need. The food was outstanding, especially the stroganoff. We look forward to visiting again soon.

Max was first rate in helping managing details for a small very special party for a dear niece’s special birthday in our unexpected absence. We heard she and our sisters were treated royally, the food was deliciously prepared and they had a memorable experience. Well done! This is why we’ve loved Marcus establishments for decades.

A fabulous meal with fabulous service. We started with a terrific smoked trout dip, perfectly executed! We also really enjoyed a small plate called “Potholes” which was essentially a French escargot preparation with crab and lobster as the protein. Excellent! Our halibut entree was prefectly prepared. The scallops on the risotto were as well. I do think the risotto was a little overcooked, but the flavor was really excellent. The cocktails were creative and delicious. Our server was attentive but never hovered over us. He made great food and drinks recommendations as well. A bonus for me was a good bourbon list with some unicorns at a fair price. We will be back soon!
