After many years away, I returned to Marseille this weekend and was absolutely delighted to find that it is not only still wonderful, but somehow even better than I remembered. The atmosphere is everything you want from a true French brasserie: lively, elegant, warm, and timeless without feeling pretentious. Despite arriving on a very busy Saturday night without a reservation, we were seated surprisingly promptly even though the restaurant was clearly bustling and full of energy. Our server, So
We had a nice time in the French restaurant. Food and wine was nice, well prepared. There were some negatives: - ketchup served with fries instead of french mayonaise - fries american style, not so much French/Belgian style - there are various writings on the wall advertising “pression bier” a.k.a. draft beer, but reality is, they have no tap beer All in all we enjoyed the evening and food, but can not rate it 5*
Marseille and our server, Johnny M, made our breakfast experience in New York before our Broadway show fabulous. Our food and drinks were delicious and Johnny M was the most thoughtful and attentive server ever. And the bartender that Wednesday morning made us the most delicious drinks. Overall, it was a great experience and highly recommend it!
