Overall we had a great time at Marlowe. Our service started out really horrible but eventually the food and the change in waitresses saved the night. It is an easy 4-5 stars if not for our experience We had a surprise bday with 8 people at the table. 4 of us got there early and wanted to wait for the rest before we ordered. Our original waitress asked if we are gonna wait or not. We said yes. 5 min later she asked the thing and we said yes we are waiting She came again all within the 15 minutes, and when we said yes she rolled her eyes and sped off, seeing how upset she was she should have realized it's her fault. She could have just waited for our party to get there - and if that is a problem do not seat us next time until we are all there. You can't have both. Eventually she talked to the hostess and we suddenly had a way nicer waitress. She made up in niceness and was great with us. Our original waiter kept working with the new one and not until we mentioned something to someone working there until she starting trying to be nice. Now for the food: Highlights : Poulet vert (very tasty), their burgers , crispy kale chips and duck liver mouse The burratta was good too Salad designs are good but nothing too spectacular with the ingredients Ambiance and decor are great too read more

Good enough This restaurant isn't my favorite. There are so many restaurants I'd rather go to. Should I give it four stars for using great ingredients, having great drinks and great service? Yes! Maybe my expectations are way too high. if anything I think that the modern decor in the restaurant mimics that of a bathroom. Black and white tile, modern bench seating and dark window casings. it an interesting mood but it's out of place. It's also really high priced. I came for the burger and was not all that impressed. The appetizers are better than the main courses. The mixed drink selection was better than the beer. read more

Decided to come here for dinner on a Friday night. I was able to make a reservation a week before through OpenTable. I've been to Marlowe one other time for brunch and thought it was pretty good. The restaurant itself was very small, so the tables were super close to each other. However, their candlelight setting did help make the experience a little more intimate. Service was just okay, nothing to complain or praise about. We ordered half a dozen oysters to share, and for $3 a piece (market price), these were sad, little oysters. For a fraction of the price, I've had better quality, in terms of size and freshness, elsewhere. The brussel sprout chips (with lemon juice & sea salt) was also a miss; the chips were burnt and bitter. It was also not mixed well enough, some parts were too salty, while others were to sour. The steak tartare was really good. The arugula added a nice kick. I got the pan roasted cod for my main entree, and felt like it was nothing special. It was a little dry in my opinion. My friends got the burger and angus ribeye. The burger was just ok. The ribeye was AMAZING. It was juicy and flavorful; I stole a few pieces off my friend's plate and regret not ordering it myself. Also, my friend ordered their Juicer cocktail, without knowing Serrano is a pepper. Boyyyy were we in for surprise. That drink is SPICY. I preferred the Baker's Wife, a more refreshing cocktail with a hint of citrus. After factoring in their mediocre, overpriced dishes and average service.. I don't think I'll be back for dinner. However, I'll probably give brunch another try. read more

Restaurant was less than half full , still more than an hour wait for 2 burgers. Burger arrived drenched in horseradish and served Luke warm with a SIDE OF HORSERADISH like some sick joke. Lol Very sweet host, solid server, strong drinks and good fries. Nice decor. That is every good quality to find. Extremely slow. Tables seated after us were served before us. No lettuce in the gem lettuce salad?? 3 pieces of lettuce?? How?? Did appreciate them apologizing for the 1hr+ wait on an order or two burgers...but would not return. Ever. read more

Terrible experience 3/10 recommendation. The bartender went off and that's about it. This restaurant is like when a dense person tries to be deep or complex, it just never seems to workout. The deviled egg was good. The salad I ordered had 3 pieces of lettuce, like seriously 3 lil gems pieces. I sat down at 5:19 and for the table ordered 2 deviled eggs, a salad that had 3 pieces of lettuce, and 2 burgers (as a meal). I didn't eat my horseradish "burger" main course until 6:30, it was a burger. The only flavors present in the burger were horseradish and for an almost $30 burger, something other than horseradish would've been a great additional flavor. So disappointing and infuriating to see everyone seated after us, eat before us. The only positive experiences of the night were the fries that were delicious and the drinks, although not very tasty, were strong. Also, The host was amazing. read more

Came here for brunch and ordered the baked eggs. While I liked the flavor profile of the dish a lot - it was savory with hints of spice, I do think the dishes are a bit overpriced especially for the portion sizes. I also wish the dish came with more bread to soak up the sauces. read more

I was able to get a reservation for 7 ppl last minute on a holiday for brunch, but on the early side - the great part about that was the space was relatively empty, spacious and quiet for our brunch and by the time we left it was packed and noisy! The atmosphere is great - we all liked sitting at the long table with benches, and the waitstaff were all really lovely and attentive. even when it was getting busy - we didn't feel rushed to finish up and leave. The food was just OK - all the dishes were really pretty but kind of mediocre/good, nothing really crazy awesome going on but solid and decent. would recommend for groups for brunch if you can get there well before noon! read more

I'm struggling with my decision to even give this place 3 stars due to the following: 1/I arranged a private space for my colleagues with their coordinator, Alisha Lamos WEEKS in advance, only to realize upon arrival that my space was given to another group. My group of 13 was sat in the noisy dining room with two unmatching tables put together. It was not good. 2/I was assured that the vegan in my group would be accommodated but I practically had to beg my server to bring him an extra salad at the start of the meal because every appetizer that was sent out aside from the salad was not vegan - which is okay...BUT if you're going to take 20 mins for each appetizer, at least hook the vegan up. 3/The service was incredibly slow. Again, had to BEG my server for the bill. He laughed at me when I told him I promised to get my group out in 2 hours. I finally had to go ask the manager for my check. I am not certain what was funny to my server as he laughed in my face on multiple occasions. I was in the service industry for 4 years. It is not exceptionally challenging to get a 13-top with a preset menu in and out in 2 hours. The restaurant made it out alive on this review due to the following: 1/Patrick, the manager on duty, was very apologetic about the mixup with my space. It was Alisha's grave error, and he tried his best to correct it. He stayed on top of us, was graceful about my semi panic attack once I realized what had happened, and he saved me from my TERRIBLE server. Cheers to Patrick. 2/The cocktails I had (because I certainly needed a few) were some of the best I've ever had. 3/The polenta is literally what dreams are made of - a perfect dish (although a few of my colleagues said it was too heavy on the mushrooms) Since they messed with my colleagues and their server was a nasty word I can't include in this review, I will not return - but will be dreaming of that polenta. Oh well. read more

Love, love, love! Yum! My friend and I loved our dining experience here! Our first time eating here, great location on the corner of 4th and Brannan. Easy street parking in the eve-loads of meter parking. Also, there is a nearby parking garage. The location is just a couple blocks from ATT Park, so be mindful of game times because this area can get super busy with traffic. We came on a non-game night, easy drive in/out of the area. The restaurant is small and tables are close together but that can be fun in making new friends and ogling other's food orders like I do! Ahhhhh!! My secret is out! I love looking at all the different dishes making their way to the eager diners. We had planned on ordering every dish on the menu but then decided to narrow down to our top picks! We started with restaurant created drinks first, I had the Pimms Cup and my friend had the Baker's Wife. Mine was very refreshing and crisp tasting. I milked it which was wrong of me, you shouldn't let it sit for long as the contents will settle and not be as crisp. My error. My friend guzzled her's speedily (I took a swig, too) love the grapefruit and vodka mix. I've always been a fan of those two mixed, goes well with my chemical makeup, agrees with the bod. She had one of the Pinot Noirs next and loved it! We had a few bites next, warmed deviled eggs, baked oyster, steak tartare and wild mushroom soup. Yeah, just a few bites...my god we were ravenous wild animals! The eggs! The oysters! The tartare! Omg that soup is wildly shroomy and flipping amazing! One of the best I've ever had, so much so that I really wasn't even acknowledging my friend while I was eating it. She kept saying, are you listening?! Ha!! No. The entrees we chose were the angus rib eye and wild mushroom polenta accompanied by a side of healthy, baked cauliflower! The rib eye was a perfect medium and juicy AF, presented sliced in half then stacked! The shroom polenta is a must! MF'er is creamy and heartier than the heartiest with baby criminis strew about in the mix! The cauliflower is such a nice side and super farm-fresh veggie-tasting and cooked perfect with a bit of crunch. We finished with the chocolate peanut butter bites, yeah just those...what?! They're made with local Guittard chocolate, crispy corn flakes and peanuts. They spread that mixture out onto a baking sheet then chill to harden then cut up into cubes for service, presented cubed in a small mason jar on a small plate! We loved this dessert! Creamy, crispy, sweet, salty! Ahhhhh!! All of this would not have been possible without the outstanding service from the host to our server and the table staff! Thank you all! Really made our evening memorable. Our server knew everything about the menu items and was the reason we ordered the dishes we did on his expert recommendations. I definitely will return here and try out the other SF restaurants these folks own. FYI, everything was so amazing I totally bypassed taking pics of our food and drinks, that's how great it was! read more

Ideally, would like to give this 3.5 stars. We have a condo a block away but don't come here that much It's just too overpriced to be a regular/local eatery. However it is wildly popular with SF locals. + lively + convenient + service + food On the downside - incredibly loud - smushed seating - value On our last visit (where we used a $200 gift card and we're still $60 out of pocket) our entrees (pork chop and chicken) were very good and ample portions. But the grilled octopus appetizer was more side salad than anything else -- laughable amount of octopus given the price. Also if paying premium for food, we like to enjoy the experience and not get rushed along by the servers. read more

I reallllllly liked Marlowe. I took a client here for lunch and I have to say -- the pictures on yelp and opentable weren't very good. Yes, I can see how it would be a sexy and sleek place in the evening but in the daytime it's just a fresh and bright place to go with colleagues or clients. Brussell Sprout chips were fantastic -- I would definitely recommend for a couple of folks to nosh on while waiting for your food. Coffee was good, thick and caffeinated :) Lunch was delish -- my boss and client got the same thing: a fried chicken sando. I got the steak salad. Nothing disappointing -- and everything was cooked perfectly. I will be back -- and with different clients this time :) read more

Marlowe - Light and bright, nothing like the other pics I found online! - Diners Near Me - San Francisco, California

Unimpressed with this restaurant considering the reputation for having one of the city's best burgers. I don't think it's even close to be honest. It was pretty full inside, but only had to wait maybe 5-10 minutes for a table. Kind of loud inside, but we don't mind a lively atmosphere. We each ordered burgers and fries, and shared brussel sprout chips and deviled eggs. Pretty simple order. We got our drinks pretty quickly. The service was not really friendly in any way, which made it awkward because the food took a while to come out. I get that it was pretty busy, but I feel like it took 30 minutes for our items to come out. We liked the eggs and brussel sprouts were ok. The burger itself not very impressive. It was dry and patties were small. The fries were actually very good, but when the burger is not good it's kind of a sad experience. Overall unimpressed especially for the price. read more

My boyfriend and I came in a lil bit earlier than our reservation time. However, our host was very accommodating and she sat us down immediately. She was really friendly. Our waitress was also really sweet and informative. This place is really good for a date night. The ambiance is loud and energetic if you're fine with that. The food was good. Nothing that was amazing. But overall we enjoyed it. We got baked oysters, steak tartare, grilled pork chop, and angus ribeye. I wasn't a fan of the baked oysters. However, the angus ribeye and grilled pork chop were amazing. I liked the angus ribeye more. It was really juicy and packed with flavors. The portions were huge. We couldn't finish the pork chop so we decided not to get the bone marrow and brussels sprout chips read more

Came here on a Thursday night and it was a small, crowded and dark restaurant in which the staff seemed frantic and busy. There were 5 of us and we were squeezed at a table in the back. The food was decent but not the best that I've ever had and it was quite expensive for what you paid for i.e. the burger was $19 and it was the cheapest entree on the menu. The portions were really small, especially the appetizers. We had the Fava Bean Hummus, which was pretty good but felt weird to eat it with such a thin cracker, and the Di Stefani Burrata, which was tastier but getting any kind of Burrata usually makes anything good! I had the burger for my entree and it was decent, nothing special - I remember it being a bit soggy and too wet for my liking but taste wise it was fine. In the end, the food is expensive, the portions are small, it has decent taste, the environment is dark and crowded. read more

Note: It can get fairly loud inside the restaurant. Food is mediocre--the one standout is probably the horseradish aioli with fries. The fried green tomatoes with salmon roe and sauce are great appetizers, but they're not anything that will knock your socks off. You could probably get better pulpo/octopus at another restaurant and experience the "Marlowe burger" somewhere. I will say that the asparagus, frisee salad with duck breast has the right balance of salty, savory, acidic, crispy, crunch, tender, etc. While I enjoyed this salad, I'm not sure it's anything to write home about. read more

I took a walk from the Hotel Nikko to get here. Being new to the city I found my self a little nervous with the progressive sketchiness that came with the walk. Marlowe was in the middle of a subjectively sketchy area and I certainly wondered what I got my self into. Once in the restaurant, I was faced with a diner style look with modern urban feel. The host warmly greeted us and informed us of the hour wait but much to our success we snagged some first come first serve bar searing within twenty minutes of arrival. Being the weekend we received the brunch menu that had some limited sandwich options that are on the nornal menu alongside several classic and unique breakfast items. I had a burger, fries, and candied bacon. People go crazy for the burger here and I understand why. Ingredients are fresh and basic flavor profiles are respected and augmented with appropriate compliments. The fries were crispy on the outside. Notably they have an awesome, strong mustard here that goes well with the fries. The candied bacon is thick cut, crispy, and meaty all at the same time. The drinks and cocktail menu was pretty decent given the size of the restaurant and the margarita that was made for me was spot on. No regrets for walking through all the sketch that I did after eating here. Certainly would have been worth the wait for this casual but quality restaurant. read more

I came here for an early bday dinner with my friends. We had a small fiasco regarding seating because i had booked for 9 ppl, but an extra 3 people came so we needed a table for 12. They were able to accommodate us and we only had to wait about 30 min. The restaurant is tiny, it looked alot larger in the pictures. We were seated in the patio outside which was great because it was alot more private. I ordered a (the baker) rye cocktail which was fruity and sweet. We all ordered different dishes so I was able to try almost their entire menu. My favorite was the polenta, and the pork chop. The polenta was cheesy and a great portion sized. The pork chop was massive and had a bunch of fatty pieces which I loved!!!!!! Usually pork chops are so dry and gross. The fat made it extra yummy. We also ordered the burrata, steak tartare, and bone marrow. I liked the bone marrow the best, the burrata was already spread on the bread which I didnt like. The steak tartare was way too salty. Get the pork chop && polenta & must make reservations. read more

TLDR: this a good restaurant, with a good ambiance, good drinks and good food. Nothing for me was "omg wow I need to come back here", but everything was good. I chose Marlowe as a recommendation from a friend for a business dinner. I had no expectations but was pleasantly surprised when I walked into a bustling dimly lit restaurant that had a good intimate atmosphere. Two things to note: this restaurant is loud and warm. After waiting at the bar for 15 mins after our reservation time (with great drink service!) we were seated; and thank goodness we were seated by the kitchen where we could breath and somewhat hear each other talk. The service was great throughout, the waiter offered multiple recommendations and it felt like our water and drinks were constantly being refilled without our notice. Seriously. I remember being asked if I wanted another one of their yummy cocktails, and when I looked down, it was magically there. The food was good too! From the crispy Brussels sprout chips (which were expectedly oily - so you should share), to the tasty steak tartar, it was a great way to start the meal. I just wish they seasoned the tartar a little more with black pepper and maybe a touch of lemon or balsamic. We all opted for the steak, medium rare, and wow it was unexpectedly a large portion! Everything on the plate was tasty, but I just wish, again, that the meat itself was better seasoned with salt and pepper. And finally dessert. We shared an apple bread pudding which came out of the oven hot and fresh and was a delight. Don't get me wrong, everything was good, but for the price I wish it was more... great. I wouldn't rush back, but I am not displeased either from a good evening. read more

I really really loved Marlowe! Since I am both Gluten and Dairy free now, and it's quite hard to find restaurants that have at least one dish I can enjoy, let alone several. Enter in Marlowe. Dropping into the smaller space for dinner we found the service to be friendly - although what they say is true - it's fairly loud and the ambiance is more on the casual end. So I would definitely keep that in mind if you're bringing old friends here to catch up. Food wise the fire kissed shrimp Marlowe served was hands down the best I've ever had - grilled and seasoned to perfection. The pistachios were tasty and the bone marrow was superb. Often restaurant made bone marrow holds a poor flavor due to incorrect seasoning, or size wise can feel like almost nothing, but the flavor was amazing and the dish sizable and I would absolutely order it again! Marlowe was close enough to the Caltrain station that it's incredibly easy to drop in, and with how amazing the food was, we absolutely will again! read more

I had a good time dining here at Marlowe. It was on my list for awhile, so I was glad to have the opportunity a few weeks ago. My bff and I have birthdays a month apart, and this year we were able to have a celebratory brunch in between our special days. What I liked about Marlowe is that it doesn't have the stereotypical brunch menu. I'm all for an eggs bene, but it was nice to see something different. After ordering our cocktails, we shared the donuts and each got a deviled egg. What a yummy way to start! That egg was a perfect, slightly spicy bite. And you can't go wrong with donuts, especially with the jam that came with it. For my cocktail, I got the Baker's wife which includes elderflower, grapefruit, and vodka. It had a good balance between the tart and sweet. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, and chose to get the salad instead of fries. I wish I got the fries because the salad had a lot of parsley, and it's not my favorite herb. But the sandwich was delicious! And it was the perfect size. Any bigger and I would've been stuffed. The chicken was fried perfectly and it was moist. It also came with crunchy bacon. The ambience is really nice. It can be noisy, but it wasn't too loud where my friend and I couldn't hear each other. And the wait staff were really friendly and helpful! I want to come back here for dinner soon! Reservations are highly recommended. My friend and I dined here right when they opened (with reservations), and we took our sweet time. So there's probably a wait. read more

Nice brunch food. Enjoyed the breakfast polenta a lot! Wasn't too busy and the service was very good.

3.5 stars. Marlowe is just okay, it's not mind-blowing compared to other stronger restaurants in San Francisco, but it's got a few delicious dishes that stand out. Food: The New York steak is excellent, fragrant, tender, and comes with a side of fried portobello fries with horseradish aioli. This is our go-to dish and we like it better than the Marlowe burger. Do NOT skip their excellent desserts: Loretta's vacherin, chocolate sea salt pudding, caramel apple bread pudding, and lemon trifle are all delicious and highly recommended. The Marlowe burger, however, is overrated. I know everyone raves about this burger but I found it underwhelming, mushy and very doughy. It's cheese, meat, bread, and mayo which is tasty but very heavy. The burger is in desperate need of something crisp and fresh like pickles or tomatoes. Service: -1 star. The servers aren't attentive in the 3-4 times we've been here, they're always rushed. The hosts are also cold and standoffish. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you come with a reservation or else risk waiting 1-2 hours. Ambiance: -1 star. The worst part of this place is the inside of it. It's not just loud-- it's deafening, and it has to do with the materials inside the restaurant which cause it to sound like an underground subway station. The tables are arranged way too close to each other so you'll awkwardly be sitting next to someone else and listening on their conversation. If you try to leave the table to go to the restroom, prepare to squeeze like crazy or end up upending tables. read more

Marlowe is a must when you're in San Francisco for a nice dinner (especially for someone who's love language is quality time;) ). The ambiance is incredible. Luckily, I'm not a picker eater at all, but I could possibly see that being an issue for some for there aren't too many entree options. We ordered the steak tartare as our appetizer and man was it delicious! Unfortunately, we finished the crackers in a jiffy since there weren't too many, but were eventually offered more. I then ordered the Poulet Vert and enjoyed it a lot, but thought it was a bit lemon-y. Overall, would definitely come back and try some of the other appetizers and entrees. read more

Have wanted to try out Marlowe for a while! Came for lunch on a Monday and it was almost perfect! Space is beautiful and we were seated easily around noon (party of 2). Ordered the tempura green beans to start which were tasty and came with a delicious dipping sauce. For entrees my friend got the deviled egg sandwich and I got the little gem salad. The proteins were priced a bit high for lunch portions and I wish there was a clear option for adding protein to a salad. Price point generally seemed pretty high for lunch but definitely a nicer lunch option especially for a working lunch. Our food took *forever* to arrive. Not sure what was going on in the kitchen but salads and an open faced sandwich should be fairly quick. Faster service and more reasonably priced* lunch would make Marlowe five stars. (*and of course it's okay if their prices are high because they are paying all of their staff, cooks, servers, and busboys a living wage and full health care benefits ;) read more

OVERALL: I finally got to come back for dinner! I was impressed. Food, and especially cocktails, were great. RESERVATIONS: Made online a week in advance (dinner for 2 on a Saturday at 7pm). Plenty of openings still at that point. THE COST: $163 total for a very filling dinner for two (2 drinks, 2 starters, 1 side, 1 huge entree, 1 dessert). A small splurge, but it was worth it for my birthday dinner. SERVICE: Heather was super enthusiastic and had this amazing laugh. She described a couple dishes as basically "heaven" and we couldn't help but order them. She also comp'ed one dish, the Grilled Asparagus, which came out at room temp. MUST-HAVES: Baked Oyster, Angus Ribeye/ THE FOOD: BITES * Baked Oyster ($3.5 each) - 4.5 stars Incredible, loved the lightly crisped bacon, baked on cheese. STARTERS * Grilled Asparagus ($15) - 4 stars Tasty dish (we got this because our server raved about it), but it came out room temp. They took it back to the kitchen and we were comp'ed the dish. * Spiced Jumbo Gulf Shrimp ($18) - 4 stars Nicely done, great texture, love the sauce with a kick of spice. MAINS * Angus Ribeye ($39) - 4.5 stars They split this dish in half for easier sharing, and even half seemed like a ton of food. Not to mention, the meat was fantastic! Very tender, cooked perfectly. SIDES * Brown Butter Brussels Sprouts ($9) - 3 stars So much butter. SO much butter. Also, I prefer more crispy brussels sprouts, and these were very soft & soggy. DESSERT * Apple Crisp ($10) - 4 stars We were stuffed but this was still great. Not too heavy, but still a great crisp mixed in with apple slices. The apple could have been a little more cooked through. COCKTAILS * The Florist ($15) - 4.5 stars Fanstastic, well-balanced, just the froth could have been thicker and more homogeneous. * The Baker ($14) - 4 stars Not my usual type of drink, but I tried a sip and this wasn't overly strong, had great flavor. NON-ALCOHOLIC COCKTAILS * West Bay Sparrow ($7) - 4 stars Very tasty, refreshing, loved the herby flavors! read more

When it comes to aesthetic, service, and of course the menu Marlow is a solid spot for brunch on a Saturday morning, or probably any other day too. I came about 15 minutes early than my reservation, but once I checked in they seated me right away and brought me menus/water to look over while I was waiting for my friend. I like how their menu is simple and limited to one page. It's always tough for me when there's too many options haha. But even though the menu is simple everything looks so tasty that it's still hard to decide! | AMBIANCE | It was my first time here and I thought it did get a little loud, but wasn't too loud to the point where I couldn't have a conversation with the person across from me. This place gets packed on the weekend but as you wait you can hit up the bar for some drinks to pass the time and grab a seat at one of their benches outside. | WE GOT | - Pimms Cup - SO REFRESHING. I've been a fan of Pimms since I studied abroad and I will always get Pimms if it's on the menu. For $13 it does seem a little steep, but the cup is huge and the one drink lasted the entire brunch. It pairs so well with the ginger beer, cucumber, and lemon that it doesn't even taste like alcohol. Dangerous? Probably. - Doughnuts - Lemon/ricotta over everything. There's something about this combo that is soo good to me that I try anything that has the two paired together. Lucky for me it seems like many people do the same because these doughnuts were brought to almost every table that was around me which was a good sign. The doughnuts were denser than what you would expect out of one, but it wasn't too heavy or oily either. It had a nice balance and paired great with the tartness of the jam. They come 5 to an order and were perfect to share between 2 people. - Potato Hash - My friend really enjoyed this dish because the meat was so tender and potatoes crispy. I'm not sure if this is something that i'd order for myself because i'm not a huge fan of the greens on the side but it's a good option to try. - Marlowe Burger - Def try this! The burger was cooked medium and the onions caramelized to perfection. They had a ton of bacon but my only peeve was that it was overcooked and tasted a little dry. Other than that the fries were crispy and paired well with the burger. ***The doughnuts came out within 10 minutes, but the food took a while longer to get to the table so if you order them I would say to tell them to bring it to the table as it's ready vs when everything else is cooked. | SERVICE | The staff here is so friendly! Throughout our entire meal they always made sure we had what we needed and made sure our waters were filled. It was easy to get their attention and the check so no complaints here. But other than that they were open to sharing their recommendations and chatting it up with me as I was waiting for my friend. read more
