Opened in 2010 and relocated to its current location in 2014, Marlowe is a New American bistro located in San Francisco’s Soma neighborhood in the former COCO500 space.

Brought to you by Executive Chef Jennifer Puccio and award-winning San Francisco designer Ken Fulk, Marlowe focuses on classic comfort foods with flavorful twists, like Chef Puccio’s signature Marlowe Burger, seasonal poulet vert, brussels sprouts chips and quail egg topped steak tartare.

Taking inspiration from the butcher shops of the past, Marlowe is designed with a sleek but comfortable feel, featuring white subway tiles, white marble, deep blue banquettes, wood block tables and specials listed on rolls of butcher paper.

    We hadn’t been to Marlowe in quite awhile but were impressed with how they’ve maintained their high level of quality. Our cocktails were made perfectly and were reasonably priced, especially for the attention to detail. All our food was excellent: ahi tuna crude, chicken vert, black cod, broccolini, and chocolate dessert. Service was also very good: friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. We’ll definitely stop by more often.

    A nice location. Service was good. Food was so-so. Very limited menu. Price is pretty high for what you get.

    Delicious food, fabulous service, the only disappointing aspect was that it was extremely noisy and hard to hear conversations happening, even in a small group of 6. Other than that I’d definitely go back!

    賑やかで、活気のある雰囲気でした。うるさいと思う方もいると思います。 食べ物、飲み物は普通。 初めて行きましたが、人気らしくほぼ満席で、ちょっと店員さんがたりていないように感じました。
