"We really wanted to feel good about this new restaurant that has taken over a much loved previous setting. The expectation of dining out on New Year 's Eve is that it will be a fun celebratory setting. Some decorations or at least something resembling the Christmas New Year 's holiday season was anticipated! Marche was the reverse. Terrible room acoustics, almost impossible to hear the people at our table over the loud room. There was not a single sign of the holidays, or that it was New Year 's Eve. Zero decorations. The menu was mundane. Our table ordered steak which was reportedly a bit chewy but chalked up to the cut. The flavors were reported as good. The duck confit was salty, but expectedly so as the server stated it would be. The Halibut serving was an ungenerous 4 oz and dry and the bed of grain was too buttery and unseasoned. The sauce for the fish, on the side, arrived cold. Deserts were basic, and as mentioned earlier, no feeling at all that this was New Year 's Eve. The opportunity for this restaurant to showcase its creativity both in the food, and the interior design was really disappointing. At 9:30 the place was empty, and clearly, as their apparent last reservation at 7:45 (seated at 8:15 by the way), we felt and heard the closing up of the restaurant for the night activity only too well. It was a very unmemorable New Year 's Eve dining experience compared to the previous March aux Fleur in Ross, California."
