Went into Mari's for lunch today. The food was great! The French fries were messed up (yes i know that's weird). The wait staff brought me a salad out and said they knew the French fries were wrong. I appreciate the staff's kindness and understanding. Would recommend this place to anyone stopping by Florence. read more

Awesome midweek dinner! Crab encrusted halibut was a huge, well-seasoned portion and perfectly cooked. I had the dinner plate sized schnitzel with mashed potatoes; crispy and tender! Although very busy, wait staff was attentive & courteous. Highly recommend! read more

Service was not great. We ordered chowder and they brought it out together with our entree. The food was not as expected at all. The chowder was good, but the crab sandwiches were fried and not as expected at all. Server never came back to refill our water, instead we got the check before we finished our meal. read more

Not only did I have to ask for our waiter to come and actually serve us, the food we got, 50 minutes later, wasn't even cooked. The burger was raw and the "Air Fries" were still frozen, the hot dog was cold and had obviously been sitting there for a long time. There are SO many great places downtown Florence, go explore those instead! read more

I'm trying to understand why this restaurant has close to 5 stars. We went to brunch here with our family and our total time spent there was close to two hours. They didn't check us in when we got there. When we were trying to figure out where to sit, they were rude and said if you see a table that could fit your family you can sit there and we can clear it. They didn't clear it. Not family friendly, seemingly. It took about 35 min. for our order to be taken and that was only after two tables before us were served and we had to ask for them to take our order. When we got our drinks they slammed it on the table by the mouth of the cup. The food was also subpar. The servings were really small for the price. There wasn't any part of the experience that was pleasant. read more

Fantastic food and the best Bloody Mary we've ever had. Highly recommend this place. Will be back.

Great addition to Bay Street. Breakfast has waffles from sweet to savory, omletes, biscuits and gravy, and of course chicken schnitzel (which is like a chicken fried steak). For lunch I HIGHLY recommend the Rueben. Literally the best Rueben I have ever had. (And I'm a bit of a Rueben connoisseur.) or the Gypsy burger. With soup (I love her chowder). Dinner is a very tough choice, everything is to die for, but chicken marsala is one of my favorite dishes and Mari has outdone herself. Sooo good!!! Severs are welcoming and attentive. I loved the outside seating in the summer. Inside is very cute, yet classy. Drink options are great also, some amazing willamette valley wines, local beer, and great cocktails. read more

What a great meal! We had Pastrami Ruben & Meatball sandwiches. Both were amazing! Salads were fresh & dressings were great too. We will definitely be back!! read more

The food was great! The service was very good and quick! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

So good! I came to the realization after eating here that every restaurant in this little stretch of town is so good! Specifically- it's a great place for seafood. I ordered the halibut fish and chips and it was perfect! The breading was light and the fish was perfectly cooked. I also thought the fries being air-fried was a really nice touch. Also, the waitress was very friendly and professional. Definitely recommend coming here if you get the chance. You won't regret it! read more

Wonderful food and service. Crab cakes are amazing. Kids gave rave reviews of the schnitzel sandwich and kids chicken sandwich.

We have stopped in twice now and both times the food and service have been exceptional. The first time was very busy and we had a long wait but the food was so worth it! The second time was on a Sunday afternoon and it was quiet and the wait was super short. The waitress was so kind and very helpful (and spot on!) in helping us decide what to choose to eat. So many delicious options. Definitely recommend for some delicious eats in Florence! read more

I went to this restaurant because it was the only one serving breakfast in the area. I ordered a special lobster omelette. This is the worst I ever had.I grew up in New England and I know what lobster is. This was not lobster it was crawdad or crawfish or maybe Langostino but not real lobster meat. The omelette itself was not light and fluffy was just a flat piece of egg not sure if it was real whole eggs And the sauce that was served with it was heavy greasy sauce hard to explain.I told my server about it and he told the owner she came out with an attitude like I was lying or something.Not sure where all the great reviews came from.Not the special omelette. read more

Absolutely fantastic! Mouth watering authentic European dishes. Full bar with a generous selection of specialty cocktails. Outdoor seating available and also family friendly. Staff is friendly, fast and on spot! read more

When it's a cold night on the oregon coast but you still want dinner, support the small guys who are following the rules. This trip we chose Mari's Kitchen and we were glad we did. We sat outside wrapped in blankets and enjoyed two great meals and a bottle of wine. We couldn't have asked for anything better. read more

Sweet restaurant in great location. The menu was very interesting with an eclectic mix of fare. I had the pan seared halibut. I looked nicely seared with a crusty outside. However, I needed to use a knife with force to try to cut through it. The inside was flaky but dry. The outside was hard to chew. My partner had the seared scallops in pasta. It was good. Funny thing is this was not seared much at all. It tasted good but was drowning in a sauce that could have had more flavor. The side of pasta with the halibut had a sweet marinara sauce. The wine choice was very limited and did not take advantage of the local fare. read more

The waiter was really nice and personable and it was a very welcoming atmosphere. We chose to sit outside and the weather was perfect. We had high hopes after looking at the menu, and the macaroni and cheese was wonderful. Unfortunately, the fries that came with the burger we ordered were cold and dry, and my breakfast scramble was lukewarm with toast that had no color on it and no butter or jam. The Total bill was $45 and we were just hoping for a better meal than what we had. read more

Nothing positive here. Meals for six of us totaling $150 ( no beverages) halibut fish and chips did not taste like halibut..don't know what it was..as one man said, I am not sure what I just ate! and fries were cold as was all the six entrees. Crab melt, if there was any crab we did not taste it nor see it..so absolutely undesirable meals and the price was high but had we had the seafood we were expecting we could tolerate the cost. Also they add this .88 cent charge to each item, what is that all about? one hour 10 minutes to get our meals and not at all worth a visit if you want halibut or crab. So not good. read more

The best food in Florence!!! Service was awesome. It is very welcoming to locals as well as tourists.

Excellent food from a unique menu! Good service in a comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Mari's Breakfast was absolutely amazing! Had the Eggs Benedict! The service was attentive and friendly! Brandon and Florin ran the front of house in an incredibly professional manner!! Grateful for a wonderful experience! This small town is bustling with tourists and businesses are short staffed. I was so impressed with my experience! Way to go Mari! read more

A welcome addition to Bay Street. Great little spot for breakfast. Rest of the menu looked pretty good but we only stopped in for breakfast. Homemade sausage patty was delicious and the meat lovers omelette was perfect. Pretty decent cup of coffee as well. read more

It is not often that I get to do a review such as this but OMG the food is so amazing here. I do not even know how to describe it other than better than you can make it yourself. Homemade vibe is so big here. The cook is just amazing. The service goes above and beyond anything you can get elsewhere. Another customer forgot her reading glasses and the waiter took his time to go over the menu with her. My hot chocolate was also so unbelievably good I can not describe the flavor. It was not from a packet that I can be sure. If you have not tried this place it is a must while in Florence. read more

Breakfast food even after lunch was excellent! Highly recommend getting the Denver omelette.

Good food good service. We sat outside in the sun enjoying our meal. A must stop and try. read more

Size of Alaskan Halibut was disappointing and overwhelmed staff. Other table members had cod and salmon fish fry which was better but nothing special read more

I was visiting my Dad from Los Angeles and he recommended we go to Mari's kitchen for dinner. I love visiting Bay Street and love to try new places. Plus, he was raving about the food. Our dinner was incredible! We started with the decadent basil & garlic butter bread basket. We were powerless not to finish the whole thing! Then I had the pork schnitzel with the best mashed potatoes I have ever had. My Dad had the seafood pasta and was thrilled as well. The restaurant was so charming! I cannot wait to come back again. read more

I can not say enough good things about this establishment! The service is fantastic and the food is great! I have been here 3-4 times and have never had a bad meal. The schnitzel is delicious! This time I got a dessert...crème brûlée. Delicious!!!! This is, by far, the best place to eat in Old Town. read more

Excellent service, amazing bloody marys, and delicious breakfast, especially the chicken schnitzel. I would highly recommend this restaurant!! Thanks Floren! read more

I ate on a special Ronanian dinner night, so my comment is to that meal. It was good, reminiscent of family fare I have enjoyed in Croatia, Hungery and old Bohemia. What I liked look least was what I assumed would be my favorite, traditional Romanian sausages. One if the spices did not marry well with my taste buds. The service was very good. Very homey casual European neighborhood bar feel. I plan on going again and trying more local dishes. read more

Stopped in on a Monday at about 1:00. There were a few guests outside, we were the only ones inside. Server was friendly and attentive. Food left much to be desired. My husband ordered the dolmas appetizer, I got a house salad and my father a cup of clam chowder. The dolmas were $13 and came with 4 of them, only. It also came with bread and marinara which we found odd. The clam chowder was more like a Smokey potato chowder with some clams in it; my salad was your average salad. The escargot was super, super, salty and tasted a little dirty as well. I've had much better. We found the halibut tasted good but it would have been better served with something else- the linguine and salad with it was odd. To sum this up, Mari's Kitchen reminded me a lot of the Gordon Ramsay show where he rescues restaurants. They need a little help. Go Nextdoor to Restobar, you'll be glad you did. EDIT (hours later): I'm taking back a star. We just had dinner and are still talking about how bad our lunch was. We all agree we'd rather have McDonalds than this place. read more

We ate here two nights ago as we were traveling up the coast. Very impressed. Service was spot on, prompt and friendly. I ate the Dungeness crab melt. This had to have been in the top 10 best meals of my life. Rich and flavorful, interesting/tasty reduction drizzle on top. Peach pie for dessert was out of this world! read more

Great view of the Bridge , excellent customer service from Sarah , great food, what else we need, right ? Will highly recommend this place. Thank you. read more

Possibly the worst food I've ever paid for. "Clam" chowder had no signs of clams- mostly bacon??? Fries were limp - thawed frozen things that weren't fried- tasted of the freezer. Crab melt consisted of mostly of cheddar cheese on soggy bread with some undoubtedly frozen crab meat located somewhere between the greasy cheese and soggy bread. read more

Mari's offers delicious food and unique fusion specials all day. Small space, so plan accordingly. Reservations recommended.

Shrimp was served in a pool of garlic flavored milk. Do we need to say more? The bread that came with the meal was dry and flavorless. It took 45 minutes to receive this concoction of 5 shrimp. Many nice restaurants in downtown Florence read more

Loved it. Mom, Mari, is the cook. Her son and his wife are the wait staff. Wonderful prices, great menu items, awesome service. Couldn't have been a better experience. read more
