Best

What a beautiful restaurant! I truly felt as though I was somewhere in France. My waitress was attentive and patient, and once the food came I was sold. I didn't want my meal ...

Worst

As the review states below, it is a lot of great rich food in this place but only go November through March, After that it is simply to hot in the room to eat. Pros: Winter, C...

The food here was aweful. I don't know who is writing some of these reviews. This place wants to be so much more than it is. more

Great food - great wine selection 2/11/2003

Had a really good meal early last Sunday/ The meat ""mese"" was incredible tartare, fois gras, and an interesting ""meat cigar"" with hummus... would go back and order two as an entree.. wonderful wine selection by the glass and bottle. Though a bit pricey overall ... I would return again. If it was more affordable, this would become a regular for us. more

Just Another Place to Eat 1/29/2003

Four of us ate at Marseille. The noise level was incredible until everyone left for the theater. Service was poor until then also. The food was mediocre-- not worth the cost. The menu was extremely limited. Better restaurants are to be found in many small towns along the eastern seaboard. Pros: Nice lighting Cons: Crowded, Noisy, Mediocre more

Pricey, but Good 1/6/2003

The food was very good and unique. But I found the prices to be a bit too high for what you get. Though I'd recommend it for corporate dinners or if you're willing to shell out a bit more for a nice pre-theater dinner. Nice decor, abmiance and excellent service! more

Must Try Marseille 12/12/2002

This restaurant is certainly one of the best I have been to. Everything we ordered - from appetizers to desert - deserved a 10+. Although it was a bit pricey, it was well worth it. more

Relaxing 11/16/2002

I enjoyed my meal overall at Marseille. It was a dark, relaxing environment to dine in. The duck was delicious, and I especially enjoyed the desserts we ordered for the table: The special of the night, a pear with chocolate soup, and the chocolate steam cake. Pros: Good ambiance, Soothing music Cons: Expensive more

Absolutely delicious! 11/4/2002

Went for pre-theater on a Saturday night, everything was delicious, haricot vert salad, duck, chicken with couscous, short ribs and veal cheeks. Only thing we didn't like was the steamed chocolate cake with mint ice creama group of the 4 of us did not want to finish this dessert! The place was a bit noisy, but sitting on the edge of the restaurant helped, and although the portions were small, w/ an appetizer it was the perfect amount of food. I'd go back, and my out of town guests were definitely impressed. Service was a bit spotty, but we got out the door with plenty of time before the show. Pros: food Cons: noise, spotty service more

wonderful!! 10/14/2002

It reminded me of a restaurant in Marseille or even Paris. The wait staff was knowledgable in wine, and the level of service is compatible to French. It's very romantic with redish dim lights all over the restaurant. Pros: Wine list, Service, Romantic more

A 4* restaurant in the theater district 10/7/2002

Superb. This is the word to qualify my experience at Marseille. The service, the food and the wine made our experience memorable. I had the tasting menu with wine paring and honnestly I could have compare it to any of the top nyc restaurants that I have eaten at. The bread and olive butter alone is worth a trip to Marseille. Pros: food, service, wine list more

Thanks Citysearch 10/6/2002

We found Maraseille on Citysearch as they were picked for the bes french restaurant. The food was surperb, it was in near Broadway and the waitor eas attentive and funny. We had three bottles of wine, all new for us and delicious, thanks for a fun night! more

Best Brunch in Manhattan 7/30/2002

I go to Marseille as often as I can for brunch, and it's never let me down. The Croque Madame is the best I've ever had. The French Toast is so moist it doesn't need to be drowned in syrup like at other places. The most essential brunch item, coffee, is fantastic. And my sister raved so much about the pancakes to the rest of my family, that they all ask for them when they visit the city. Pros: great brunch, reasonably priced, outdoor seating more

Heaven in Hell's Kitchen 7/25/2002

Marseille delivers inventive food and excellent service so I'm surprised that some other reviewers have had such unfavorable experiences. I've been there twice and on both occasions had stellar service. The first time I called to make reservations, the host chatted me up about what show I was coming to see, and when I called to reserve a second time, he remarked that they'd look forward to seeing me again. While I know they do this with computers, it made me feel welcome nevertheless, and when I arrived that evening, they greeted me with ""welcome back"" and used my name. For some people this might be overkill, but I appreciated it. My waiter - on both occasions - was very accomodating, and suggested just the right wine to complement my meal. As for the food, the chef does brilliant things with Mediterranian ingreidients - The meze plates are particularly scrumptious. Pros: Attentive Service Cons: Noise Level more

Too Many Waitstaff? 7/24/2002

Overstaffing is hardly ever a problem anywhere, and maybe here it's just the staff's deployment, rather than numbers. Came by apres-theater for a late supper and enjoyed a tasty and varied (if a trifle salty) bouillabaisse and a glass of wine. Food was quite good, but the service was a trifle peculiar and disorganized. Everyone was attentive, but nobody seemed aware that the other waitstaff also regarded our table as their duty, too -- hence, we'd be asked for orders several times, or, after we'd been told that the lobster salad was unavailable, we'd be asked if we hadn't gotten it yet by a waitress clearly prepared to go and scold the staffers who'd been remiss on our behalf. Pleasant, all in all, but not entirely organized. more

Tasty Veal Cheeks 5/29/2002

I had lunch there and had an unusual sandwich of veal cheeks with gruyere cheese and horseradish. Yum. And the chickpea fries are both unusual and delicious. Pros: cool crowd more
