Fish • French • Cheese • Chicken
"I've been looking forward to going to Marvin because the food pictures online always look so good and the ambiance looked fun. Don't be deceived. It was one of the worst meals I've had in a long time. I go to restaurants all the time and never review (I should though) but the flavoring in everything was super bland so I had to share. I'll start with what wasn't too bad, the Cesar salad and fried artichokes. They were fine the Cesar was a bit too heavily dressed though but otherwise fine. The artichokes weren't really very flavorful but were ok. My friend and I ordered steak which maybe was the fail on us but I've seen pics that look good and our waiter said it was a favorite and he talked it up so much. We ordered different temperatures and when the steaks came out they were both medium so one had to go back to be fixed. There wasn't really an apology for waiting or overcooking. In fact when I showed him and said this isn't MR he then asked if i wanted it fixed. He should have offered first. So I waited which is fine. When it came back it had a lovely charred top so I figured this looks good and inside was on the lowest side of MR. Took some bites and it was literally flavorless. Basically tasted like a diner steak and eggs breakfast quality steak. The fries that came with it were so crisp they were hard and really over salted but still better than the steak. The side of vegetables were pretty soggy and again flavorless. Both wines I tried were pretty ok but neither would I drink ever again. The tables are SO CRAMPED next to each other. We luckily got one away from the main area by the window. But the tables basically made it look like communal dining. There were inches between different groups. One of my least favorite things in a restaurant."
