    Cool place, but needs more staff. 7:45 Saturday reservation. Seated right away by the busser. Waited about 5 minutes for water and then another 10 for our server to greet us who was the bartender. Nice bartender, but running the full bar and multiple tables is just too much. Everything took too long. Not the bartenders fault, it's just too much coverage. Food was okay and good. Oysters were well chilled. Duck breast was well rendered and cooked perfectly medium rare, pappardelle was great, but the carrots lacked seasoning. Carrots were cooked perfectly tender and could taste the maple, but I would've appreciated some salt. Maybe it was purposely bland to balance the other seasoned items on the plate. My wife had the pasta and it was well executed, although it must've come straight from the pan onto a warmed plate because it was burn yourself hot. Cocktails and wine were fantastic and the ambiance was great. Took some cookies to go and was happy with them. Overall, for a $250 bill for two, it wasn't worth it. I can see why many people love it, but the food is a little boring and the service is spread too thin.

    We have been to Marco’s several times and this was an exceptionally good visit. LOVED the risotto special. It was nice to have something new to try. It was delicious and served hot and fresh. Oysters were excellent. Have never had the prawns and artichoke saute appetizer before but we will have it again, with lots of great bread to soak up the savory sauce. Service was discreet but friendly, perfectly timed. It was an amazing meal which reminded us that we are fortunate to have this quiet and charming restaurant in our area.
