What a great dinner. We had a nice table by the window. There were two of us. Everything looked great on the menu. We ended up with three starters, 2 entrees, and one dessert. We should've dropped one starter. The drinks were great. Our service was top notch and food was paced out nicely. My only complaint was $6 for one small cup of French press coffee. That's a bit pricey. Try it out!

Here's a polished version of your review: Marigold has the perfect ambiance for a nice night out, whether it's with a significant other or for a business meeting. The wait staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, which made the experience even better. On top of that, everything I've tried has been absolutely delicious. I would 100% recommend this place.

We had a 6:00 reservation on a Wednesday evening. It was bitter cold out and the restaurant was not crowded. The entire dining experience was top notch. The restaurant is chill and classy. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful, accommodating and had a wonderfully subtle sense of humor. The menu is small, but varied. While everything we ate was superb, there are so many other interesting items on the menu that it only makes sense to come back. My nephew had East Coast Oysters and loved them. He and his wife shared English Carbonara; there was not a single piece of pasta left. They also shared Steak & Chips. The steak was so tender, no knife was needed. I ordered the Short Rib Vindaloo. At our server's suggestion, I asked to include a side of chili paste. Dipping my spoon into the paste added amazing flavor to each bite. The Sourdough Naan was tender and perfect for ensuring nothing was left in the bowl. A small bowl of sliced cucumbers, onions and tomato came with the dish. I didn't know what to do with it so I dumped it into the vindaloo. While that may not have been the proper approach, I have to say the crisp, pickled veggies were a perfect addition. This meal was outstanding. Mark had Fish & Chips. I looked at the price and thought, "Oh my!", but my shock was quickly calmed by the massive pieces of fish that arrived at the table. The fish was perfectly, lightly breaded and was flaky and delicious. Another great meal. Dessert. Don't miss dessert! My nephew's wife had the Lemon Posset. Our server recommended this dessert as the lightest offering. We all tried it and wow! Amy told our server it was so good she wanted to lick the bowl. My nephew and Mark both had Sticky Toffee Pudding. I swear my nephew was in tears. He said it was the best dessert he's ever had. I had a taste of Mark's. Be warned, it is extremely sweet, but also fabulously delicious. I had Affogato over which espresso was poured. While it wasn't stated on the menu, a quick google search confirms affogato is gelato smothered in hot espresso, so there you have it. Mark and I both had an NA Weihenstephaner. I said it was 'spicy', which threw everyone at the table until I explained it was spicy like holiday spice - clove, cinnamon and the like. Not sure that's what is in it, but it was very good. I look forward to returning and trying a completely different meal.

Not sure how I got this so wrong, but I thought I was coming for an Indian restaurant, and though there were some Indian flavors in some of the dishes, this is not an Indian restaurant. I imagined that the chef lived in England, since there were a few dishes with Indian flavors, but also featuring (as specials) cottage pie, and shepherds pie. Since I lived in the UK, I'm not passing up a cottage pie--with peas and carrots--and creamy mashed potatoes on top. The flavors in the broccoli salad were nice, but I'm not a fan of uncooked broccoli, even though the flavors used were a fab combination. If you're good with raw broccoli, I'd highly recommend that salad. I forgot that an affogato has espresso on it, and I do not like coffee or espresso, so that bummed me out, because the ice cream was Earl Grey and the espresso drowned out that flavor, which is why I ordered it in the first place. Ah well. This is a good place for an easy, casual meal, and the stetting is pleasant.

Came here for a birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! Gorgeous aesthetic and lovely service, this place is a true fusion of Indian and British pub food. Tried the chili paneer, potato cadaver, beef pot pie and the chickpeas and squash curry. The curry was the standout for sure! Incredible cocktail and thorough wine list, I definitely want to come back and try other things on the menu. Great selections for vegetarians as well! Park in the fountain square garage for sure, its a very short walk.

I tried Marigold for date night after all the recent hype and they did not disappoint. Overall, most of what we ordered was flavorful. We shared the mushroom samosas and the accompanying mint yogurt chutney was so good. The trout was cooked perfectly although I do wish it had a curry sauce (while I jealously side-eyed my husband's malabar shrimp). Unfortunately, I deducted a star for the sourdough naan as it was a massive fail (absolutely nothing like naan due to the heaviness). Additionally, the chai I ordered was meh. For Marigold's take on Indian, I do wish they offered a masala styled chai with milk. However, they absolutely nailed the sticky toffee pudding. That was heaven in my mouth. I wouldn't hesitate to return to try a few other things and especially if they offered a fish curry.

This place is quickly becoming one of my go to happy hour spots! They have great bites and sips and a good selection of happy hour deals on weekdays until 6 PM. The restaurant is also so beautiful and the bartenders and servers are great.

I will start by stating that the Crown Restaurant Group is by far my favorite! Thee most consistent and amazing group of restaurants in cincy!! I've officially been to all of them. I stopped in last night for my birthday dinner and tried the prefix menu and everything was made to perfection. I tried the steak and chips with the Pachadi salad. The salad was so fresh and delicious with a vinaigrette as the dressing. The steak and chips was a little more salty than I prefer but I still enjoyed it. Make note they don't carry steak sauce. The meal ended with a sticky toffy pudding and I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. My mom tried the trout with the mushroom samosa and she also loved her meal. The inside of the restaurant is beautifully decorated and the service was great! We will be back for sure.

Love the atmosphere here! Very cozy, darkly lit, classy but comfortable. The fish and chips - best I've ever had! Unbelievably crispy and crunchy! I couldn't believe the crisp factor. Very large portion easily shared for 2. The veggie curry - fine. I will go to my local Indian spot before I get this again. Bread and butter - tasty. Would prefer the bread to be more toasted and less char grilled. It had grill marks but was still soft/not toasted. Treacle butter was great. FYI the spicy ramekin is an up charge, as is naan. Service was fast, attentive. No reservation and no wait on a Friday night. Would return

We wanted to give ourselves plenty of time for dinner before a show at the Aronoff so we made reservations for 5:30 and we were the only table in the restaurant! More people came in but the restaurant was pretty empty all evening. Our server, Rachel was very friendly and helpful, going over the menu and made sure our waters were filled and we had what we needed throughout the evening. I asked her opinion between two cocktails and went with her suggestion of the chai espresso martini which was delicious! We started with the sourdough bread that came with treacle and honey butter which I thought would be more remarkable, if pretty much tasted like run of the mill butter. For dinner, my husband and I split the pachadi salad and the short rib vindaloo. The salad was crunchy and fresh and very flavorful, I would definitely get it again. The vindaloo was good but I would probably choose something else next time.

We celebrated our anniversary at Marigold and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The evening started off with complimentary sparkling champagne, which was such a thoughtful touch. We each ordered a cocktail-- I had the Mango Lassi and my partner had the Stirred Bird. Both were complex, balanced, and genuinely delicious. For our appetizer, we had the Prime Beef Tartare. It was incredibly tender and practically melted in our mouths -- truly a must-try. For entrees, we ordered the Lamb Shank and the Malabar Shrimp Curry. Both were phenomenal. I'm so glad I didn't let some of the negative reviews about the curry sway us. Yes, it's lighter than a traditional Indian curry, but this is a British-Indian restaurant, and the flavor profile reflects that beautifully. It was fragrant, nuanced, and absolutely worth ordering. We finished with a lemon dessert that was bright, refreshing, and the perfect end to the meal. Overall, Marigold exceeded our expectations in every way. Thoughtful service, excellent cocktails, and creative dishes that deliver-- we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

We csme here on Fri evening with a reservation and were seated immediately. We easily found street parking. We ordered dishes the share family style. My Favorite dish was the pachadi salad (had a delicious mustard-based dressing) and scotch egg with a flavorful cooling cucumber sauce. The lamb shank had a food portion of tender meat, but could have used more flavor, and the curry was too salty, although the shrimp was cooked perfectly. We also ordered the batata vada (came with 5) based on others'rave reviews, but I now regret not trying the chili paneer instead. Lovely ambiance, and the dishes were well paced.
