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.

    I rarely leave reviews, but I felt the need to share my experience. I was really looking forward to my meal at this restaurant, but unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. We ordered burgers and deviled eggs, and both were bland and lacked the flavor I expected. My burger was dry, even though I ordered it medium well. To make matters worse, the prices were far too high for the quality of the meal. I really wanted to enjoy my time here, but I left feeling unsatisfied and frustrated. I cannot recommend this place based on my experience.

    The food was wonderful. I had a drink called the baker’s wife. So refreshing. I was with wonderful friends. The only reason I rated 4 on one of the questions was because I could not hear everyone as well as I would have liked. The music could have been just a little lower but otherwise it was fantastic. If you are not old with no problem hearing even the loudness of the music would have been ok. 😊

    Not sure why I haven’t been here in a very long time! The food never disappoints. The brussels sprouts are so good-actually, everything there is good :-) it was a work lunch and everyone really loved their food. We all ordered different things and shared quite a few appetizers. Not one one single complaint!

    Food was excellent, refined but generous with complex flavours. The place was buzzing even on a Tuesday
