The Marq is no longer owned by Festival Foods. They seem to be rebranded as a Supper Club and banquet hall. We decided to try them out on a Friday night. We put our name in with the maitre d', Robert, who is a nice man but I suspect gave our reservation to another couple (shame on them for claiming to be Rocky). He rectified the situation and we were seated after a few minutes more. Meanwhile, at the bar, Jake was in complete control and had us tasty drinks in no time flat. After being seated we ordered the Baked Haddock and the special, Lobster and Crab stuffed Ravioli. My wife chose vegetables instead of a potato for her side with was an extra $2 which I thought was fairly steep. We both had the salad bar, her's was an extra $5 on top of the $21 haddock and mine was included with the $29 special.
The salad bar was a little disappointing. There was no liver paste or cheese spread to use with the crackers that where there and not a big selection but everything was fresh and tasty. The Cream of Potato soup was nice and hot and seasoned well. Not so for the Minestrone soup. It was luke warm and tasteless.
My wife's haddock was good but the carrots were a bit undercooked. My special was two big raviolis (which would have been nicer and more filling for the eyes if that was 4 or maybe 6 smaller raviolis). Aside from the size, they were too salty to really be enjoyed. Any more salt and I would not have been able to eat them.
The service was excellent and our server really went the extra mile to make our experience pleasant. The only other complaint was paying $8 for such a tiny grasshopper.
It think next time we keep driving to the Out O Town Club and wait. read more
