At Marrakesh you sit on cushions and eat with your fingers. The waiter rinses your hands with warm water before and after the meal. There is Moroccan music, belly dancing, warm lighting, and tapestry covered walls. The atmosphere is exotic and romantic. The courses alternate between sweet and savory. The lental soup is very good although it could have used a little more harissa. The Moroccan salad which you scoop up with bread is very refreshing. The bastilla is a philo dough pastry doused with powdered sugar and filled with savory spiced meat,egg and nuts. The lamb dishes are delicately spiced and so tender the lamb falls off the bone. The baklava deserts are excellent. Mint tea compliments all the courses perfectly. If you want good food that is different than you might be used to in an exotic setting, I highly recommend Marrakesh.
Pros: Exotic atmosphere, good food, efficient service
Cons: no parking, music a little loud, not inexpensive
