After driving past Marygold's On Main for years, it came highly recommended, and wow, what a truly superior dining experience. Unassuming from the outside, this local treasure opens into a cozy restaurant and event space with exceptional food and drink. Between the crackling fireplace, plush lounge seating, warm wood accents, sleek bar, and navy banquettes, the atmosphere feels both inviting and refined. The bartenders and entire staff were warm, polished, and genuinely attentive, creating an experience centered around the guest. My martini was aggressively shaken and served in a short coupe, topped with a delicate layer of ice crystals; despite the chill, the vodka-to-vermouth ratio was perfectly balanced. It was garnished with stellar Castelvetrano olives, freshly opened and proudly presented as an elevated touch to the classic cocktail. As for the fare, it was hands down one of the best meals I've enjoyed in quite some time. The Wagyu coulotte was cooked to perfection, accompanied by expertly prepared oyster mushrooms and crisp shoestring tallow fries. I could go on and on about the experience, but I'll simply say I can't wait to return. The thoughtful details and genuine hospitality made for an outstanding night out.

Historic home converted to a restaurant upstairs that is more upscale and on bottom Floor is a more causal pizza and drinks restaurant We had great cocktails and mocktails For appetizer we had the deviled eggs w fried oysters and they were super good very creamy with a great crunch of the fresh oyster on top We also had the fried calamari which when the waiter said it was fresh he truly meant it For dinner I had the salmon and it was cooked perfectly medium as requested and had a nice savory flavor My friend had the steak frites and it was cooked perfectly medium with a great sauce and super crispy string fires My other friend had the mushroom ravioli it was super fresh and the sauce trying made the pasta pop Waiter was attentive Four stars because it's a bit pricey for portion you get There is a parking lot and they take credit card

Wag Yu Tail
Amanda T.

Loved this place! Cozy and romantic setting. I had the Wag Yu Tail Cocktail and the Wag Yu Entree. Probably the most interesting drink I've ever had and the Wag Yu Steak melted in your mouth. Perfect seasoned and prepared. And fantastic service!

French Omelette
Leah S.

Sad the mimosa deal is gone but we absolutely love Marygolds on Main for brunch!! We brought our friends visiting out of state and sat outside. The French omelette was a miss compared to the croque madame I had last time!! Definitely order the croque madame if you are considering it!

Avocado toast
Vy T.

Perfect for bridal showers or brunch the day of a wedding! Beautiful decor inside with both chair and booth seating; it is a modern place with a nice bar. We ordered mimosas and a selection of food items to share. Enjoyed the French toast! Service was attentive and thoughtful.

Was supposed to be medium steak
Samantha V.

Our reservation for two was at 7pm on Cinco de Mayo. The decor was beautiful, but the two person table very small. Our appetizer was excellent a fried calamari special , which had a nice sticky garlic sauce. After we finished our appetizer everything was slow. My husband finished his beer and put his empty glass at the edge of the table. We had to flag down our waitress for him to get another beer. My $45 steak frite meal was a disappointment. It was 7pm and they were out of skirt steak. Im not quite sure what steak they substituted with but it was fatty. I asked for my streak to be medium but it came out medium rare. I ate along the outside and gave my husband the rest because he likes a rare steak. My dinner turned out to be french fries. My dessert a berry crisp ala mode. Before my dessert came my husband ordered a scoop of ice cream. The scoop of ice cream did not come until my dessert was completely finished. The ala mode did not last long because my dessert was very hot. Almost seemed like the berry portion was microwaved before the ice cream was put on top. My husband absolutely enjoyed his Roasted Cod with lump crab meat, sautéed spinach, celery root puree, and a lemon butter sauce. The presentation was beautiful. My husband generally does not like a lemon sauce. But he asked for the sauce on the side and loved it. In addition my husband always has leftovers, not tonight he cleaned his plate. I think next we'll try brunch maybe tonight they were short staffed.

Made a reservation here for a birthday dinner for my wife. Reservation was easy to make by phone. We arrived at the reservation time and were immediately seated. The ambiance here is very nice but the main restaurant is a little loud on a busy Saturday night. Drink orders weee taken quickly and food was very well made. While our waitress was very friendly, she forgot one of our party's drinks then entire entire until reminded. Also part my daughters meal was almost missed. If I go back, it will be with a smaller party.

Whipped Ricotta appetizer- wonderful flavors
Kelly Y.

We enjoyed an early Friday night dinner at Marygold's the other evening. We called ahead to see if we could get a table as we had not made reservations and knew it might be busy. They were easily able to accommodate us as a table of 4 since we got there early (5pm). They have done a wonderful job restoring and updating the space. The front dining room where we sat at one of the cool semicircular booths looks out onto Main Street and is quite pretty. The bar area is equally nice. We did not get to see the other seating areas but the color scheme and all the details were well thought out and make Marygold's look sophisticated and classy. Our server was friendly and efficient. Food and drinks all came out promptly. Our two boys were in tow and they have a children's menu. They got the cheeseburger and plain macaroni & cheese which I did not get to photograph. My husband and I each got a drink. I forget the name of my specialty cocktail but it was presented nicely and tasted great (see photo). My husband got a local beer on tap. We opted to try an appetizer- the whipped ricotta with our drinks. It was a really nice appetizer with a balance of a lot of flavors. Between the crusty bread, thick and yummy ricotta, to the cool cucumbers drizzled in a herb vinaigrette and a touch a honey. Well done and perfectly presented! I would only say there was a lot of ricotta so it could have used a little more bread. Our entrees were a risotto special for the night- seafood risotto with shrimp, mussels, and scallops. It was excellent and I really enjoyed it. All of the Seafood was done perfectly as was the risotto. The crab macaroni and cheese was equally good but considering the dish on the heavier side. The taste of the crab easily came through and the cheese sauce was great.... it had a smoky flavor which elevated it and went well with the crab. Marygold's was a Lovely dinner experience! I would 100% recommend but with a few caveats: 1. Definitely make reservations if you want to dine there during prime hours. (We were lucky as we did the early dinner with kids). 2. While kid friendly with a children's menu, by the time we were leaving, it definitely becomes more of an adults night out because of the atmosphere..... especially for a Friday or Saturday night. People were all dressed very nicely for an evening out. My husband and I will make our next trip to Marygold's but without the boys. The place is lovely and the food/drinks were great!

I am mad it took me so long to eat here. We went for a girls night and had a blast. It's got an old school Newtown low ceiling vibe. The foyer has couches and a fireplace for waiting and grouping. The food was delicious. I got the beef shepherds pie. Small strips of seasoned beef topped mashed potatoes with a seared top. Very pretty. The drinks were all a hit. The service was above and beyond. Very attentive. The only thing I would offer is a change in center seating options. We sat along the wall and were very comfortable but coveted the corner booth all night - when we arrived the other options were low center table groupings or a singular high top in the middle of the room. No one wants to be on display in the middle of the room at a high top. I would suggest cozier seating options in the middle of the room. The place lends itself to upscale nights out more than it does a bar scene. Gorgeous lounge in the front could have high tops for overflow. We will definitely be returning regardless. Loved loved loved.

Food quality / price (value) rating 10. The atmosphere is an 1890's mansion built as a private home, and from 1910's onward was an inn and restaurant eventually evolving into it's latest incarnation of classical formal dining and art deco fusion with Wainscoting. There is a wonderfully warm seating area by the entrance, perfect for pre-dinner socializing. It's a fairly casual place, with an upper crust vibe. This was our first visit here. We had the impression that it was an expensive place, but that's not the case. The quality of the food, the presentations, and the service were excellent, and reasonably priced. The wife had a house special cocktail called "Strawberry Blond" , and I had a "Hawley's Other Garden" cocktail, served with a large fruit infused cube-shaped "popsicle" I'll call it. We started by splitting the Baked Stuffed Clams that were some of the best I've ever eaten and we will come back here even if it's kust for those. I had the Marigold's Salad with Steak, covered with shaved parmesan. Wonderful! The wife had the Radicchio and Squash salad, also incredible . We split an order of "Tallow" (rendered from steak fat) fries, which were a refreshing, subtle change of what you think fries are about. They offer a limited, but well chosen number of draught beers. The owner and Chef, Clark, is typically on site, and is a seasoned, experienced restauranteur. Our server, Ryan, was super attentive and made our visit smooth and fulfilling . They're open Tuesday through Sundays for dinner,and they serve lunch on Fridays. Highly recommended!

First time at The Reserve was for a casual weekday work lunch…read more Easy choice to sit at a comfy booth, service was quick, friendly and not intrusive even though we took our time deciding, eating, and talking. The Cuban sandwich tasted great, and I really loved the sweet potato fries on the side, which had a great texture without being soggy. Will definitely be back to for dinner sometime soon.

Overall a good first experience with a few "eh". But I also understand this restaurant just opened…read moreand is finding their way. Starting out with the aesthetic, not a fan and not a huge fan of the layout. The black painted walls and low ceilings make it feel a bit claustrophobic. There weren't really any decor up yet when I went so it just felt dark and dreary. You walk into the dining room with a bar on the right with bar seating (very tight fitting) and then a bar all the way on the left? It was also super hot in the building the night we went so our party of 3 just felt squeezed in and uncomfortable. But moving on the to the food. We really enjoyed it for the most part, the burger being the best. My steak was pretty fatty and tasted okay. I liked the salad part. We ordered the burrata for app and was confused that it doesn't come with bread or crackers? So we asked for some on the side and we had to giggle at how tiny the little pieces were and the serving size. We needed to ask for a second serving of bread. All in all I would try it again but I'll probably wait for them to establish more of a routine and direction. I really enjoyed Rein Osteria and will continue to go to that. So I'm hoping The Reserve goes in a little different direction so our community as more unique options.

Alibi is currently running a Harry Potter pop up, and if you know anything about me, you will know I am a HUGE fan. The Alibi was decorated beautifully and there were two really cute Photo Ops by "Platform 9 3/4" and the Wand Shop. Come here for the drinks! The Hufflepuff was bourbon forward and reminded me of an Old Fashioned which further confirmed that is truly my house. It also came with an edible golden snitch. The server pointed it out before I gave them what I thought to be decor. I popped the chocolate golden snitch in my mouth after being directed to take the wrapping off first. We then did butterbeer shots and I can't even begin to tell you how delish they were...dangerously delicious. Food was had and it wasn't anything to write about but I'll try. Queso dip is made in house, which I respect. Loaded potato wontons were a great idea and were probably the best things on the table. You can't go wrong with pretzel nuggets. Chocolate cake is never a bad idea. I ended my visit with a chocolate frog drink. Very similar to an espresso martini. You know how hot they are right now. It came with a an actual chocolate frog which was nice. Finally one of the staff members came over to help us play Bertie Botts and we all picked a jellybean. I got lemon. Some of us got soap and warwax. So fun! It was so good, we are going to try to snag another rez for trivia. Reservations are for 90 minute seatings. You pay $15 for a ticket but you get a souvenir cup with your ticket. Not mad about this because the cup is actually decent and will be used. Their next pop up will be "Slime Time". Slime is not my thing but maybe you'll see me at the other pop ups.

I asked the waitress for Rémy Martin, and she told me they didn't have it, so I ordered something else. After waiting about half an hour for my drinks, I decided to go to the bar myself and get a drink. Only to find out that they actually DID have Rémy Martin. About 10 minutes later, the waitress finally brought the drinks I had originally ordered. At that point, I told her I didn't want them because I had already taken it upon myself to go to the bar and get my drink. Considering the prices--around $40 for two drinks, and they weren't even top-shelf. From that point on, the waitress's attitude completely changed. She became upset and appeared to take her frustration out on the rest of our party by ignoring their orders. My friend's wife eventually had to say something because the situation had become uncomfortable. She explained to the waitress that she felt disrespected by the way I acted on walking to the bar. Then came the bill. Of course, the drinks that had been sent back were still on the check. I was not going to pay for drinks that I did not consume, so I asked to speak with the manager. Fortunately, he end up resolving the situation professionally, and removed it from the bill What should have been a nice birthday celebration turned into an unnecessary and uncomfortable experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful and clean, but good service and professionalism matter just as much as the atmosphere. Based on this experience, I would not return.

Manny is the best bartender there. I recommend asking for him when it comes to making drinks!!read more
