Truffle mushroom pasta was outstanding, my partner loved the foie gras terrine. Cocktails were outstanding. Only negative for me was that trash was being taken out of the front door while diners were still there around 10pm. Has a great, cozy neighborhood ambiance.

We went there for the New Year's Day Buffet Brunch 2025. Usually, the food at the buffet is mediocre unless it is at a high-end hotel. Even then, the food can be hit or miss. However, the New Year's Day Buffet at the Marseille was very well executed. The beef steaks were a perfect medium rare. The salmon and the roasted chicken were tender and moist. The mussels were dressed well. There was a seafood section, raw oysters and clams, and extra-large shrimp. Service was attentive, and the atmosphere was festive. We had a good time. We will go back for dinner.
