If you happen to stumble upon Marlowe like we did I'm confident that you will leave as full and satisfied as we did. A charming little bistro inspired by the Marlowe cows, I'm assuming, managed to stun us with several memorable dishes. The warm deviled eggs were an excellent start. Savory yet delicate enough to not weigh us down right at the beginning of our meal. The horseradish aioli wasn't for me, but I can see its appeal for a certain audience. You give me a Calabrian chili sauce and it's guaranteed to make me happy and this shrimp with sweet corn was no exception. Again, light but a punchy flavor that was enjoyable. I could go on and on about the different dishes we tried but the real standout of the night was the pork tenderloin with chorizo and peaches. The sweetness from the peaches somehow managed to enhance the flavor of the chorizo. This dish gives you a bold, savory and sweet bite all together but still won't have you feeling super heavy. The portion size is perfect. Im hoping to return soon for another exquisite meal. read more

Great service! Waitstaff was lovely. Excellent wine and cocktail selection Horrible horrible food Table of 6, work friends with very different palettes, we all had different plates, and we were all dissatisfied (not just unsatisfied). Half of us went to the Taco Bell around the corner read more

Walked in on a Sunday around 12pm. They were serving brunch, which ends at 2:30. The place was packed and we had to wait around 15mins for a table. A few before us had made reservations so i would suggest making one for larger parties. The place has a bar section and booths on the side. We ordered the spicy shakshuka and the pork schnitzel and deviled eggs to share. The shakshuka was very flavorful and had spices which i enjoyed. The pork schnitzel was very tender on the inside but crispy on the outside. I also really enjoyed the deviled eggs and asked for mine without cheese. Still delicious without. read more

Ordered a pick-up lunch order. Pickup itself was very easy. Went up to the host stance, gave them my pickup info, and they brought it out, ready to go. - marlowe burger - heard this was one of the must try items. Caramelized onions, cheddar, bacon, and horseradish aioli. Usually I order burgers medium rare, but with to-go I usually order rare as I've found that a lot of to-go burgers tend to sit in a box and warm up one level of temp. So I ordered this one rare, and it came rare, which was impressive! I'll know to get mid rare next time. - chopped salad - well balanced and refreshing to enjoy alongside the burger Overall really solid, especially for an easy lunch in the area. I did find the horseradish in the burger to be a bit intense but that's just personal preference. read more

Went to the place after the Giants game. Quick walk from the stadium. We had the Shishito peppers and the burger. Super good!

The countless dinners at Marlowe's former spot & that bright-eyed, optimistic version of myself from two decades ago will always hold a special place in my heart. Our recent lunch at their Brannan St. location didn't give me the same feels as before. I can't name what's changed about their once-amazing burger. It's still a decadent handheld package, & the caramelized onions & horseradish aioli give it intense flavoring, but this isn't the burger we once knew & loved. I do appreciate that our server & the chef made sure my patty was cooked to perfection. Side of fries, as well as our starter of Brussels sprouts chips, were properly crispy. Typical New American fare served in a black & white minimalistic space. I miss when Marlowe had all kinds of character & menu offerings that tasted extra special. read more

This was a great find. The greeting was very kind and accommodating and the food was excellent. My friends all ordered the skirt steak and were all talking about how amazing it was. I order the pork cheeks and they were beautifully prepared and tasty. We wanted to try the crème brûlée but they ran out so word of advice, order early. Overall I was very pleased with the presentation, service, kindness and taste. Top notch and I will be back. read more

Dropped by Thursday afternoon checking out the area. Restaurant was maybe at 75% capacity with a mix of engineers working nearby and investment/business people discussing potential deals. There weren't many food establishments nearby so this was a limited option. Ordered the Marlowe Burger and Fried Chicken sandwich, both with fries that was an additional $8.00 as the burgers are a la carte. The buns were tasteless and wished it was toasted or spread with sauce to add some texture profile and taste. Both sandwiches were cooked okay but flavor profile was seriously lacking. The white sauce had a strong horse radish taste but that wasn't going to save the sandwich at all. The fried chicken was two pieces which made it fall apart while eating. Fries were crisp and tender but many pieces were small like two inches long. Short fries looks like it was scooped from leftovers at the bottom of the bag. Service was okay but the vibe felt like the employees were not happy working there. It wasn't super busy as the crowd didn't order much food. Pricewise -on point for what it is worth but I wouldn't come here to eat a delicious meal. For sandwiches and burgers, get in-n-out or the multiple fried chicken sandwiches places that are to die for. read more

We were looking for a relaxed spot for a lite boozy Sunday brunch and Marlowe hit the spot. We ordered savory (Gougère with smoked salmon) and sweet (the ricotta donuts we freshly made lite and filling) both hit the spot and washed it all down with cocktails and sparkling wine. We sat at the bar, best spot in the restaurant. The bartender was great and all the staff are great. Haven't had the burger in awhile but definitely on the list for my next visit. read more

Made reservations for a Saturday night at 8:45pm and it was busy! The inside is super cute with a lot of cow decorations. The staff were very kind and helpful. All of the drinks sounded really good and they were all delicious! Just a warning, there is one drink that says it's spicy so be warned, it is actually QUITE spicy. As for the food, my group of 5 family styled the food which was the way to go. Everything was very good and flavorful, but if you order yourself your own entree, I would think that the one flavor would be too overwhelming since most of their entrees were very meat heavy. The pork cheeks and scallops were the highlight! read more

We passed by Marlowe over the years but never did stopped in since I always thought they are known for their burger, bone marrow and devils eggs. They are always packed and has cozy ambiance. We saw on the menu posted outside a scallop and.crab dish so I decided to venture in for the crab, it is crab season after all. We didn't have reservation but it was a Tuesday night so we got seated right the way. Sadly there were no crab with scallop on the menu inside, it was just scallop and broccolini... which we ordered, it was a bit rich (drenched ) in butter for my taste. Since I am a seafood gal and not so much meat eaters, we ordered everything seafood focus. Everyone was friendly and attentive and food arrived promptly. Nothing stood out to me, they were not bad but didn't satisfy my taste buds. The squids and clams was somewhat bland and watery. The grill shrimps was the best dish of the night, the kick of wasabi in that cocktail sauce though is no joke. We actually order BBH and a papaya salad from Que Viet next door to go so I can have a bite when we get home. Perhaps next time we try a burger instead. First time I saw a 7% SF mandates fee on the restaurant bill. I truly hope they passed on all off the 7% to their staff as SF mandate for Healthy SF is only 4% so not sure what the other 3% was for. I guess doing business in SF is challenging with rising cost so every bit of FEE will help restaurant bottom line. I don't mind paying it if it's truly for the staff and not just for profit though. read more

Want a great burger before a Giants or Warriors game? If you do, this is it. Always a goto spot before the game and not just to fill up...to have an amazing Marlowe's burger that is perfectly cooked and assembled. After, you can walk to the game from there as the stadiums are close. While there are a ton of really good food options at Chase Arena or Oracle Park, this is a great place to get a quick bite before a game and it is really good. Great quality of meat, perfect ratio of meat to bun and it comes with shredded lettuce, bacon and cheese. Sounds pedestrian but I assure you, it is not Can't go wrong here at all...service was on point as well. Decor was California cafe...nothing too exciting but for a quick bite...this is it. read more

Came for brunch. Tried to make a reservation online but they were full. They opened at 10:30 am so I showed up about 15 min before opening just in case. They take walkins and we were one of the first people to get seated. By the time we left though, the restaurant was full and there was a line. We ordered the egg sandwich, gougeres, pork schnitzel, egg sandwich and burger. The pork schnitzel was like pulled pork fried in panko. It was so tender. The gougeres were little bread puffs which you scoop salmon and creme fraiche into then eat. The burger was for my young nephews to share. We had asked for the aioli on the side but they brought us one with it in the burger initially which was too spicy for my nephews. They fixed it though and brought us a new one. The burger was juicy and had good flavor. My friend also liked his egg sandwich but there was too much dressing on the salad. Service was attentive and the atmosphere was good. read more

I haven't been to Marlowe in ages but it's still a solid place. We came in on a Friday night for dinner and everything looks amazing on the menu we had a hard time choosing. We started with the Manila clams and calamari even though it's an entree. We also had two orders of the potato croquette and scallops. The restaurant is cozy and quaint with an interesting mix of date night and groups. They have special cocktails on the menu. Service was attentive but we didn't feel rushed. For dinner I tried the pork cheeks. read more

$16 for the yummiest drink! Baker's Wife had vodka, aperol guava, elderflower. service was great and took care of our party of 13.

Great neighborhood spot that fills up quick! I know they're known for their burger which looked inticing but opted for the pork cheek, tried the salmon and calamari. The pork cheek was literally melt in your mouth and so flavorful. The salmon and calamari were also amazing. For drinks went with the desert rose and Smokey Paloma. When I see mezcal or prickly pear on the menu...it's a must! And both were fantastic! Not overly strong and pretty big pours. The vibes are great. Def feel like a lot of locals love this place! Def be back! read more

Marlowe isn't one of those trendy Bay Area restaurants with mediocre food. They are a top notch spot with really good food. Their burger is fantastic. I personally love the horseradish aioli but others in our party weren't fans. This is one of the only burgers I eat without adding ketchup; it's that good. Fries are crispy on the outside but not dried out. We also got their sprouts. They're ok but could use some type of dip. All in all this is an excellent spot to catch a post Giants game meal and drink. read more

It had been a long time since we last visited Marlow's for a meal, but every experience I've had there has been fantastic. The food is always excellent--fresh, unique, and innovative--and this visit was no exception. We stopped in for brunch and started with their berries served with a banana crème brûlée and yogurt. It looked so good that we dug in before I even thought to take a photo! We also ordered the thick-cut maple-flavored bacon, which was outstanding, and the chorizo eggs, which came with toast. To drink, we tried their take on a virgin Bloody Mary, along with a latte and coffee--everything was absolutely delicious. Beyond the food, I love the restaurant's theme. The service was good. The western-inspired black-and-white aesthetic gives it a modern yet cozy vibe. It's a charming little spot tucked just around the corner. Parking is available on the street, with metered spots or free parking on Sundays--just be mindful of parking restrictions. One little detail that gave me a laugh? The toilet paper in the restroom was wrapped in cow-print paper, which was a fun touch. Overall, Marlow's is a fantastic place, and if you have the chance to stop by, it's definitely worth a visit! read more

Charming modern little eatery in SoMa, about a 15-minute walk from Union Square. We had 5:30pm reservations on a Monday, and the place was already bustling mostly with locals, which felt like a good sign. We kicked things off with the Crispy Brussels Sprout Chips. Paper-thin layers of fried brussels leaves nicely seasoned with a subtle lemon fragrant and served in a cute little tin pail. A fun, salty starter to get the tastebuds warmed up and it also paired nicely with a glass of crispy white wine. For mains, we shared the Mediterranean Octopus & Manila Clams in a tomato chorizo sauce, and the Grilled Broccolini. Unfortunately, this is where the meal hit a few bumps. The tomato sauce on the seafood dish was quite salty, the clams were chewy, and the octopus was sparse. Although, admittedly the tomato sauce had a generous amount of ground chorizo, giving it the richness and texture of a spicy ragu. That was almost a meal in itself. It also took a full 40 minutes to arrive, and we had to flag down our server to check on it. The broccolini were well executed to a nice tender-crisp texture and a punchy garlic-chili-lemon dressing. Dessert was definitely a winna!! The Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites were adorable little cubes of Guittard chocolate and peanuts with just the right balance of sweet and salty. We took most of it back and snacked on it them the next day. While we waited for our food, we noticed most tables were grinding the burgers, which definitely seemed to be the menu's golden child. If we were to come back, it'd be to try that. Service was friendly but noticeably slow. It took a while before anyone acknowledged us after we were seated, and even then, it was just water with a promise to return for our order. We heard good things on Yelp and wanted to give this place a go. Maybe it was just an off night. Happy Eating!! read more

I was absolutely blown away by Marlowe. As a foodie who has tried most all of the hot spots in SF, I think dinner at Marlowe this weekend has claimed the number one spot as my favorite restaurant in the city. We booked last minute on a Friday night and it was easy to get a reservation for two around 7:30pm. It's not a big place but it's cozy and we sat in a little corner nook. The menu isn't too large but I swear everything on it I wanted to order. We got the prosciutto and burrata, one deviled egg, and the fried green tomatoes for apps. The prosciutto and burrata was a standout dish and the pomegranate seeds brightened it up. It was sooo good and not heavy - this is a must order. Egg was good but not a must have. Tomatoes were crispy and the sauce was great! For entrees, I got the pork cheek and my partner got the famous Marlowe burger. Holy moly this pork cheek was one of the best things I've eaten in a very long time. It literally was melt in your mouth, with a savory gravy to dip it in. It came with broccolini and basically a big mozzarella stick ball croquette thing which sounds weird but was soooo good. It was a really rich and satisfying meal. The burger was great too! The fries were just how I like them too - thin and crispy and came with an addicting horseradish aioli. I had the Marlowe dirty martini too which was yummy. They do brunch as well. I can't wait to come back! read more

It was hard to chat with one another during the work dinner. read more

Get the Marlowe burger! I truly enjoyed this place! It's nicely decorated, simple but elevated. The service was great, our server was very welcoming and accommodating. Our food did take a bit to come out, but before we got the chance tl inquire, our server came and apologized stating they had to refire our food. He comped our deviled eggs we ordered as an apology, which wasn't necessary, but we greatly appreciated it! The deviled eggs were phenomenal by the way. I was a little skeptical when they were called "warm" deviled eggs but they were so good! I may have to try melting cheese on them when I make them myself! And lastly, as I stated in the beginning, get the burger! It came highly recommended from a friend and it did not disappoint. It was perfectly cooked, incredibly juicy. The quality of the beef was really good. I don't usually care for horseradish but it went perfect with the burger. The fries were also perfectly soft and crispy. read more

This is a slightly unfair assessment considering two things: 1. We had kids with us and we were in a hurry; 2. Coincidentally, we cook many of the exact same dishes at home on a regular basis; we think our cooking tasted better. For these reasons my 3.5 rating got bumped up to 4 stars, even with pretty dicey service. The food mixed fun flavors together. The Brussels sprouts were a great example of this...in theory. But some of them were too burned. Normally our children eat what we eat; almost every sprout was charred and our non-complainer 6 year old complained a lot. read more

We came Valentines Day and had a lovely experience enjoying their Prix fixe menu. The 3 course meal was $100 per person including a glass of Prosecco, which I thought was actually reasonable relative to other restaurants for the night. The service was attentive despite a full restaurant. All of the food was very good. The highlights were the prosciutto / Burrata / peas appetizer (super fresh and refreshing) and octopus entree (nice char and tandoori savoriness). read more

My friend and I stopped in here for a late lunch today after our original plans fell through, and it was a lovely experience! I swear, sometimes I notice some random things, and both my friend and I loved the very clean looking decor with the white tile and gorgeous bar, and marveled at how clean the place looked given the white tile! The place looked absolutely spotless. Anyways, on to the food! We had both had a frustrating start to our day and plans so we immediately ordered drinks. I swear, we made our way down the list and each drink sounded better than the last, and I finally settled on the Desert Rose, which was delicious and had a perfect level of spice. As for food: *Deviled eggs - the perfect bite to start brunch! *Prosciutto & Burrata salad - delicious and so pretty! *BBQ pork cheek sandwich - the sandwich was delicious, but the fries stole the show! Also, really appreciate that they cut it in half and brought them out for an easy sharing experience! *French toast soldiers - we wanted to finish with something sweet, and the waiter recommended this. We were both a bit dubious, but this was delicious, and the coffee sauce was perfection! Overall, what a lovely experience. Really good food, nice service and the restaurant just looks so sleek! read more

We had a team dinner here in SF, and we had a very nice meal with professional, attentive and smooth service. The space was a bit small, but not unusual for the City. It was clean, modern and good use of space, as it still felt open despite the small area. For starters we ordered 1/2 dozen oysters, which were fresh and well prepared, and the gougeres were light and fluffy with a delicious smoked salmon, creme fraiche and fresh tarragon and dill. For the main course my colleagues ordered the amazing Marlowe Burger served with some of the best fries I've had in a long time, crisp, perfectly seasoned with salt and fresh parsley, they also ordered Sautéed Sea Scallops and Pei Mussels, which was delicious, and I had a few of the Starters for my meal. The Ahi Tuna & Hamachi Crudo and Smoked Sea Scallops were both very nice, but the crudo, while tasty, was not executed well with thick and inconsistent cuts. The Sweet Gem Lettuce, which was my favorite with fresh, crisp, sweet leaves, bacon and blue cheese, and I would definitely order again. Overall, a very nice experience, and I would recommend to anyone looking for an enjoyable meal. read more

One of my top 3 favorite burgers in San Francisco. I love how all the flavors of the burger and juiciness of the burger go together. The deviled eggs are delicious. A bit pricey, but worth it. Drinks are great and the bar staff is always nice. I've been here about 5 separate times. The inside of the restaurant is clean and has a nice ambiance to it. Somewhat classy and fun. They have a lunch menu and begin their dinner menu at 5. I always come for their burger though! read more

Late post for Marlowe. We came here for dinner about a month ago after having drinks nearby. None of us had previously dined at Marlowe before but have heard great things so couldn't wait for the visit. The evening was one of those few Bay Area hot nights we experience a few times a year. As soon as we walked in the door, we were overcome by a flash of hot, muggy, stale air. We knew immediately that the a/c was out and even debated if we should leave. The host didn't inform us about the issue at the restaurant and brought us to our table as if nothing was wrong. The server came by a few minutes later and also totally ignored the obvious fact that it was probably 90 degrees in the restaurant. It was as if the staff was instructed to pretend everything was normal that evening and maybe it would be. We ordered food and drinks quickly and decided to eat fast and leave. The burger, crispy brussel sprouts and sweet gem salad were all pretty good but we couldn't take our time to savor the meal. Overall decent food, horrible service. A note to Marlowe for future reference, acknowledge the issue your restaurant is experiencing. You'd be surprise at how customers respond if you're just honest. read more

I brought a guest from out of town here and fiercely regret it. Ludicrous prices for what you get. $40 for a tiny portion of "chicken pot pie". $45 for a few scallops with a few arugula leaves and a truckload of salt. $22 for salmon "croquettes," which was served as 5 tiny balls. Neither of us enjoyed the food and we were both left feeling ripped off. It was extremely loud inside even though the place had few tables occupied. read more

Marlowe has been on my list for a long time and we casually walked by after spending some time at thriller social club around the corner. We were a group of 6 on Saturday night and we got seated right away since they weren't too busy! But had heard really good things about the burger here so had to check it out. Best thing is that you can order the burger for the table cut in 4ths so every one can try it, so we got two of those. The burger lived up to its hype! We also got the fries, half dozen oysters, brussel sprouts, crudo, bone marrow and ahi tuna. Everything was good! For drinks we all got espresso martinis and a few other cocktails, all really good. I want to come back during weekday lunch service to try the fried chicken sandwich that ive also heard good things about! read more
