Ask for Chris, our waiter he was amazing. This was an amazing find. From being seated we were placed in a white cloth candle lit setting with multiple chandeliers and gas flame lit lighting. We were given the choice of which steak knife selection serrated or not in a shoe knife case, There are swings that you sit in at the bar! We ordered the specials and you can see our pics that I'll add to this review. Delicious gourmet was such a treat. Don't miss it. We will be back read more

Food and atmosphere is amazing ! Really good service. I recommend the short rib raviolis!

Food and ambiance is phenomenal! Great floor date night or even GNO. The Sunday jazz brunch is a MUST! Buffet offer a huge variety and the bananas foster French toast is legit to die for!!!! Mouth is watering just thinking about it. My only complaint is the customer service, I've been three times and twice I had rude waiters/staff. read more

I definitely love the brunch better than dinner! Highly recommend for Sunday funday! read more

A great meal starts with great service. Vincent took care of us very well without being intrusive. The oysters were a highlight, paired well with my Chardonnay and fiancé's bourbon flight. The crab and shrimp tower was good if difficult to eat. The crab beignets weren't what I expected , but in a good way! Light batter, delicate mix with pops of bell pepper for crunch. read more

Great get away for good food. A great place to go for date night with your mate. Customer service is always good and friendly.

Hmm. We were hoping for a nice New Orleans style experience. Being from the Crescent City, my expectations were elevated. My wife's dish, (Pecan Crusted Redfish Filet with Lump Blue Crabmeat and Shrimp Creole Bourbon Butter), was lukewarm and had no crab meat. There was a couple of shrimp on top and no sauce. She sent it back and it was returned with a sauce which was not the on the original order. Still no crab. Frustrated! I ordered the Marais Cajun Bouillabaisse. It was OK except for the Mussels which were "fishy" in taste. The chef came out and I gave him one to taste and he said "yea it is a bit fishy". Even a bit fishy is way to fishy for me. Fresh ingredients make all the difference. My mom ordered the PANEED CHICKEN BREAST WITH FRIED SHRIMP AND MARAIS JAMBALAYA. It wasn't bad except for the dry chicken! Disappointed. Never again my friends. You all know who I am. read more

Good food, great service. Marais is a surprise in a place lacking for quality restaurants. The only drawback is the noise level. I wish there were a few strategically placed plants to allow for more intimate conversations. John had étouffée which he tells me was great. I had the scallops ( check out the picture) and while the scallops were good the risotto was the star of this dish. I could eat the risotto all day long. read more

Great place location and staff. Mr. Doug is a great and outstanding manager. Customer service is at the top.

As a first experience of their Sunday brunch I was pleasantly surprised. No one would think of this hidden gem being located in Dickinson, Texas. Started with the raw shucked oysters along with some oysters rocker feller. The raw oysters were larger than most places I've visited which was definitely a positive. The mimosas weren't as tart as some other restaurants as then there's the Bloody Mary. I should warn you, it's a meal in itself, has a celery, olive, fried green tomato and a thick slice of bacon...great with Tito's vodka. They had a really good lox along with a delicious tuna ceviche. Lastly, ended with biscuits and gravy along with sausage and bacon. The decor and service were amazing...had very attentive management checking on all the tables as well. Look forward to the return visit. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by Marais and our service! I saw it on the Good Eats show and decided to try it for a birthday dinner. The bananas foster bread pudding was the best bread pudding we've ever had, it got most of the review stars alone!!!!! They have a fine dining room with a beautiful bar and chandeliers, very nice. This is where we dined. They also had a casual bar area inside and out that was also really nice. The waiter (Rocky) was a great server, very attentive. The chicken dish I ordered had crawfish and I did not realize it when ordered and he so kindly had it remade without it (I did not even ask). They bring butter and bread right away that was delicious. For appetizers we got the Marais Oysters with feta, bacon, tomato and the okra rellenos (not a fan, this was our only negative on our visit). Wedge salads and the Main courses were blackened chicken with sauce, rice and the Cajun Grits Mes Amis (delicious). We also ordered a side of mashed potatoes that were amazing (not sure all the flavors but very good). Definitely worth a visit, we will be back. read more

My cousins and I checked this cute place out yesterday for brunch. I'm in town visiting from Los Angeles. I love everything about this place. From the swinging seats at the bar to the amazing art on the walls and the manager was so nice. He just checked to see how we were enjoying our experienceThis place is fabulous! My cousins had the brunch buffet... everything you could possibly want was served! From fried catfish, prime rib, Mac and cheese, grits, crab legs and omelette station! I ordered the pork chop and eggs. Talk about incredible! Extra thick cut and stuffed goodness! I'm in love and I can't wait to get back to Texas to visit Marais!!! read more

We went on the Saturday before Christmas for a birthday lunch and I will admit we were all a little under dressed. Didn't matter. Impeccable and attentive service and the food was amazing! The 3 for $25 special was a hit at our table even though you only get an option of one cocktail. Also the seafood gumbo was amazing. read more

Had brunch here and it was ok. The bartender was very friendly and the mimosa prices weren't too bad. Not sure if I'd return though. There wasn't anything special that stuck out. read more

June 30th: My husband and I decided to eat dinner here to celebrate our anniversary. The staff went above and beyond, very accommodating and friendly. We started with drinks and an appetizer, my fav being the pomegranate mojito and espresso martini. The crab beignets were SO good! For dinner my husband ordered the red fish and I got the Cajun grits mes amis, both were delish! We enjoyed the atmosphere and definitely plan on coming back. Thank you for making our anniversary memorable. read more

When they first open they were amazing. The last time I went I might've been better off eating out of a trashcan. A wedge salad was totally nasty sent it back then the little Romain Cesar was wilted as well then ended up getting the least tasteful Florentine pasta on the planet. So sad because it's a great location. read more

Having heard a lot about this place, we had been wanting to try for some time. We found the time on a deferred Valentines Day visit (Saturday after the weekday actual holiday). We made reservations which was a key, as it was definitely overflow when we arrived at 7:00. They had valet parking (seemingly) only which isn't my preference. The valet service was fast (a couple of guys moving quickly) but again, for $5 I'd rather just get another drink inside. The valet vs. no valet debate is for another place and time. Despite our reservation we had to wait a few minutes for our table. Not uncommon, especially when facing the unpredictable nature of how fast the tables get turned. There were two bars to wait, one in the main dining room, then one on the water side (with the famed bar swings). The latter was great for us, as there was a small table for two for us to wait. We weren't ready to get drinks yet, but the server came quickly anyway and assured us it was no problem to wait there without ordering. There were several others waiting as well. Once seated the service was lightning fast. I noticed there wasn't a menu here to review on Yelp, it appears to me it moves with the seasons and changes a lot. Our server asked if we'd eaten there before as to explain some changes to their menu. He moved quickly and took our drink/appetizer order. The only problem was, the appetizer order was never placed in the kitchen. Turns out the main courses came out quickly and it wasn't missed as far as being hungry goes. There was break to snack on as we waited. Back to the menu, it featured a variety of steak and seafood options, as well as chops (pork or lamb), soups, pastas, and salads. Something for everyone. We went seafood and were not disappointed. She liked her redfish, I liked the scallops. It featured four, perfectly seared large sea scallops on mushroom and lobster risotto. Perfect portion as well. She liked her redfish (served with skin down) that came with etouffe'. We weren't going to go for dessert, but because he missed the appetizer he insisted we be comped one. It was a delicious (very hot) bananas foster that was enough for two, maybe three. The service was great other than the missed appetizer. He took the orders by memory (sign of a seasoned veteran) but the obviously has drawbacks! read more

All dishes were tasty (see photos) so many items on the menu I want to try. They have a brunch on the weekends that was really good but this day we stopped in for dinner. Our waiter was the best - entertainingly funny, super sweet and knowledgeable with all the dishes on the menu! We shall return. read more

Food. 5 Stars Service. 4 Stars Atmosphere. 1 Star. Maybe less. This place is so loud that you might as well be eating in the middle of the interstate. There were 6 of us for dinner tonight. 3 along each side of a long high top. I couldn't hear a word from the gal at the other end. Maria's is also by the way.... more than a little on the expensive side... for that kind of money you should be able to have a conversation at dinner with out shouting. We really liked the food and deserts but we probably won't be back. Way too expensive for a restaurant that we should have brought our NASCAR headsets. read more

We came here for date night and had a wonderful time. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service perfect. We had the shrimp and grits and blackened snapper- both were perfectly seasoned and cooked. For dessert, we tried the chocolate pecan pie and homemade whipped cream. So good! The owners are lovely, and we enjoyed walking around the place- many different seating areas depending on our mood and the weather! We can't wait to return in cooler weather to sit outside on a swing by the water. read more

This place is a locally owned business that is amazing. The waitstaff holds themselves to a very high standard of service. Be sure to ask for Peter if he is working. I had a cocktail called Pimms Cup,, which is very refreshing,, it was an alcoholic tea with cucumber, oranges, and strawberries in it.We had the black-eyed pea gumbo for a starter, it was amazing. We finished by splitting the shrimp and chicken pasta in a Cajun Alfredo sauce. That was very good as well. We were too full to get dessert, but I have heard that their beignets are very good!!! This restaurant is a must try. It is a nice "date night" restaurant!!! read more

Tonight is my 5th wedding anniversary and we came here to celebrate and it was an excellent choice. The restaurant is brand new and they are still working out some kinks but other than those everything was pretty perfect. There is no self parking. Valet is your only option. We visited the fine dining part of the complex. It was every bit as you would expect from a fine dining experience. My wife had a cup of the seafood gumbo, very dark roux, just beautiful. It was a little salty and could have used a little heat but overall it was excellent. I had the Seafood Platter. It was huge! I substituted the oysters for fried shrimp. The batter on the shrimp, fish and crab beignet were all corn meal based. I guess they forgot the crab cake came with the platter because there didn't seem to be one. It was ok because it was more food than I could eat. After we ate we took a stroll by the bayou on the small boardwalk, it is very scenic. Very nice place. We will be back... read more

Recent visit was memorable for all of the wrong reasons. The first time was okay so my hopes were high. Out of the 12 entrees served to our party, 1 was prepared properly. Not only did they fail in authenticity, execution was mediocre at best. The highlight was my dish and it wasn't finished...topped with crabmeat , Nope! Many dishes were nearly cold when they got to the table and should have been sent back, trashed and redone, properly. We even got two cocktails that were completely wrong, had an off taste and appetizers that lacked attention. Mind you, they were busy, but not slammed. Our waiter was good, but I believe a bit overwhelmed. GM/manager came by table and was pleasantl. Due to the occasion and someone else picking up the tab we didn't complain, but it was an expensive disappointment. I hoped this visit would beat my first trip, but it was not a winner. Beautiful building , nice staff, but the back of the house needs love. I grew up eating seafood daily for over 60 years and this was overpriced and subpar in every way. Not likely to go back. read more

We took our daughter and granddaughter here for a late lunch early dinner and the food and service was amazing! Can't wait to go back!

My husband surprised me with a spur of the moment date night and we went here for dinner. No wait, seated right away and they let us walk around 1st to see where we wanted to sit. There are several different areas to choose from and all of which are absolutely stunning, just GORGEOUS!!! Our server was slow to start but the manager bought our 1st round of cocktails and came by a few more times to check on us. Everyone was friendly and the food was good. The scenery here is a must see in small town Dickinson! Nice dinning, fun bar with swings, out door bar, huge Jenga and Connect 4 games to! read more

Love this place! Food is always good and the waitstaff makes sure you're taken care of.

A some place to visit. Food is assume and the staff are attentive. Love the Sunday brunch.

This is a very nice establishment for this area. I have only been for brunch a few times but it is magical if you aren't in the loop and live SE Houston/Galveston. Live jazz music and an ambience that is like no other. The bar is fun with swings, and the food is pretty good. The buffet is slightly high at about $32, but it comes with an omelet station, oysters, and prime rib station in addition to a cute dessert and fruit section, seafood sides, grits, bacon, fried catfish, chicken and waffles, sausage, salads, and rice with gumbo (I think) the service is 100%, bringing in the five star rating. The food on the a la cart menu is all delicious, the eggs Benedict with the addition of a crab cake is delicious (not a frozen crab patty) but get an extra side if you like to eat :). Can't wait to come back here. read more

I have waited too long to write this review but This place is PHENOMENAL! Never disappoints, extraordinary service, amazing ambiance beautifully decorated. Food is SO good and their cocktails are addicting! Great happy hour specials! Last night we had their steak and lobster special and it was fantastic. Drinks were perfect and happy prices so that made it even better! The staff is so friendly and attentive, you really feel appreciated from the moment you walk in the door. They have multiple levels which lends to multiple appropriate attire. Very casual in 1st level bar with main dining room attire much nicer. We love everything about Marais and it's definitely our top date night choice! read more
