"Out tables were cobbled together (did not match in height or size). We could not carry on a conversation with anyone sitting more than one chair away. The service was mediocre at best. When one of my guests dropped a glass on the floor, the wait staff ignored it and my guest picked up the pieces to mitigate a safety concern. Only after he was picking up the glass did a waiter who was passing by stopped to help and sweep up the shards.

I would come there with one or two people but not a group. They are not prepared for it."

"Our family had a great experience at Marlowe's for Mother's Day brunch. We had a group of 12, including 2 elementary aged kids, and this was the perfect space. We were seated by windows open to 16th St. Mall. The table was perfect. Service was great and the brunch was wonderful and reasonably priced for the items available. Highly recommend."

"I ate at this same Marlows a couple years back and I remember having a much better experience. This time the service was good but starting off with the onion soup was a bad choose. It tasted like overcooked broth with a ton of onions. (Try the one at the Summit) The calamari was ok but could have used a little more and perhaps, larger pieces. The steak I had was dry. It looked nice and pink like I liked it. But the outside was burned a little and it just lacked juice. So why did I eat and not say anything? It was my wife’s birthday and she came from Texas to celebrate it. I did not want to mess up that night. If I had a little more time to get to her surprise party I would have addressed it. Again our waitress was good."

"Love that an 'upscale' restaurant can offer a Happy Hour at prime time. The food was great and so were the prices. It makes coming downtown a little easier when you don't have light rail. I really have a problem paying 15-20 dollars to park, then have to pay anywhere from 50-100 dollars to eat. I would come back to Marlowe's for the food and the great prices."

We all had to lean way in to hear what was being said in our conversation."

"Attended Easter Brunch. The ambiance and entry were nice. However, even though we were a late morning seating - and no one else really was in the restaurant; it took 5 minutes to get our drink orders. The buffet was, "meh." Nothing extraordinary, nothing too terrible except the jambalaya that was so salty four people left it on the table. It was disappointing, I have eaten lunch at Marlowe's several times - but won't go back for brunch again."

"We wanted something special for Easter brunch and thought this would be a good fit for our party of 7. The food was okay, nothing special. They kept running out of food and it took forever to restock certain items. Several of us wanted to try the french toast but it was never available. The service was horrible! It appeared that they had a bloody mary bar available and also appeared that many people were drinking a morning cocktail - mimosa perhaps. We wouldn't know since our server never told us about either. Two of our party that arrived 10 minutes after we were seated were never offered a beverage and when asked for water halfway though their meal, never received it. The restaurant wasn't busy so no excuse for poor service."

"We went on Easter Sunday for the brunch, and it was great! No complaints what so ever. We were seated right away and attended to quickly for drinks before we could go to the brunch station. We really enjoyed the spreadout of different foods from crab cakes, french toast, assorted sausages, salmons and much more. We would definitly recommend and we would come back if ever in the area again."

"We were excited for Easter brunch at Marlowe's. They did a nice job setting everything
up for a festive occaison. The staff were attentive and friendly. My only reservation was the food was mediocre. I know with a brunch buffet the food is a notch down from
ordering off the menu. I found the food temps to be cooler than I prefer. It was a pretty carb laden menu with few fresh veg choices. The pork tenderloin was extremely dry and unpalatable. The bloody mary bar option was the highlight for me."
