The 5-star reviews describing this place as a cocktail lounge or having met interesting people must be locals having a laugh at those of us who were looking for something unique in WBL. This is not it. It was loud, full of drunk people shouting at each other, and too busy for the single poor bartender trying to keep everyone served. They had a decent bar for mixed drinks but only serve Heggie's pizza for food. They only take cash--unless you're a regular (then they'll take your plastic). So bring cash, get one drink, and then run down the street to somewhere with a better menu and your choice of whiskeys.

I can't wait to come back and sit on the deck during the summer or fall. I had an N/A drink as I was driving. It was really mellow but refreshing. My friend had a bonafide cocktail and also enjoyed the citrus and clove flavor. We had the buffalo chicken dip and fig and prosciutto flatbread. Both really good and clean. By that I mean I had no stomach issues after eating there. Service was good although they could have come by more often. Nonetheless I will be back.

Say it with me: OVERRATED. The scene is odd, the furnishings…read moreare odd (old office chairs and old wheelchairs for seating) but I could get past all of that if the drinks were actually good... Sometimes you look at a drink menu and are intrigued but a bunch of options, this place was the opposite, not one drink looked good. All of the options are very masculine in nature: vermouth, bitters, etc.. you would think there would be something with like vodka or tequila and some fruit but nope. There was one drink that almost fit that profile but they threw in pink peppercorn and I was told that under no circumstance would they alter the ingredients... makes me think the bartender is either incapable or a complete jerk. In any case, bad customer service. I came here with 3 others and no one liked their drinks.

Marma is a wonderful local restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere and delicious food!…read more I met a friend a week or so before Christmas and we chose to sit at the bar. We had excellent service, recommendations, food & drink. The restaurant is busy and as is the case with many local owner operated small to mid size spots in the area they do have a time limit on tables on evenings when they are booked with reservations. I can respect that and they are clear about it. Bar seating is on a first come first served basis. My husband & son are regulars at Marma. It never disappoints!

Tried Marma in Lake Elmo for the first time and overall - there is a lot to love here, with a…read morecouple things to be aware of. First, parking is very limited - plan ahead! Now the good: the food was absolutely incredible. Easily a 10/10. Our group of five had a variety of dishes; the Marma burger, Rosa fettuccine, pesto penne, walleye, and Bang Bang shrimp - and every single one was excellent. The whipped feta and Brussels sprouts were standouts and a must-order. The atmosphere is beautiful and inviting, and our service was fantastic; attentive, friendly, and seamless. That said, the 90-minute table limit made the experience feel rushed. With five people ordering drinks, appetizers, and entrées, it's just not realistic to have a relaxed dinner in that timeframe. We didn't even have time for dessert before being asked to wrap up. What made it more frustrating was that tables of four across from us were seated before we arrived and were still comfortably enjoying their meals while we were being rushed out. Bottom line: amazing food and great service, but if you're looking for a leisurely, relaxing dinner - especially with a group - this may not be the best fit. Go for the food, just be prepared for the pace.

We got water right away, but it took almost 15 mins for her to come back after that. We ordered drinks and food when she came back as to not lose anymore time. Food was delicious! I loved my Korean beef bbq bowl , my sister got the basic salad and added chicken and a side of ranch. Chicken and ranch didn't come out with meal, 10 mins later. Stepmom got French toast and hash browns. It was tasty, but they can't sit so many tables all at once. Also she said if we were all on one tab and I asked if she could do three, she said sure and then brought back one bill, not split. Server was friendly, just too busy to be able to do what she needed to do. This is my second time here and first time service was unimpressive. That time server just didn't give af. I think we all enjoyed our food, but it took me six months to come back after that.
