We had the best celebration dinner. The seafood tower was extra delicious and fresh, the wine suggestion was excellent and the dinner was fantastic.
Marcus restaurant thank you for making our dinner a memorable and taking care of us. We will be back!

We went for a Saturday brunch for my friends birthday. It was most of our first times going to Marcus. It was an impeccable experience, the staff was lovely, every bite of food was scrumptious, the hazelnut iced coffees were to die for. Really exceeded my expectations. The waiters were so kind, we waited a few minutes longer than we’d normally for our mimosa bottle and they upgraded the prosecco to champagne on their own as a gesture of good will. Really fantastic place, love the smell, the ambiance, the aesthetic. Can’t wait to be back!

Quelle déception . Ça commence avec les mocktails. Je n’avais pas une envie d’alcool, je demande les mocktails. 2 choix au menu et d’une banalité simpliste. J’y vais pour les huîtres en entrée. Bof! Rien d’extraordinaire. Je poursuis avec le poisson, la morue sur une purée de pomme de terre trop crémeuse avec des rapinis avec un goût de sauce épicée , mais sans raffinements. 3 étoiles, j’ai été généreuse!

Unfortunate service by the Asian girl at the Marcus bar. Unpleasant, didn’t smile and brought the wrong drink. No apology, just said “so you want it personalized”? With an attitude. Yes, that’s what I asked for.
Active listening and customer service are key in this type of business. Not to mention that I actually took my friend out for drinks for her birthday, as I always get great service.
She was also underwhelmed, after having to repeat the drink she wanted. Very disappointing experience. At 25$ per drink, a simple smile, when approaching clients, isn’t too much to ask for.

Our experience at the lounge was very disappointing due to the behavior of our server, Jen. She made inappropriate comments to my boyfriend about tips and pressured him throughout the night for more cash in order to continue serving us. I had already given her a 20% tip, but apparently that was not enough for her. It felt like we were being extorted, which completely ruined what should have been a nice evening. Management should seriously address this behaviour. On top of the 20% tip, we had to give her another $100 cash for 2 drinks.
