    Simply doesn’t get any better than THE MARLOWE!! Highly recommended for a special evening or just to get out of the house. Fun interactive bar or dine in the beautiful dining room for a delicious meal. Highly suggest the crab cakes or the rib eye. Friendly host Lana will greet you upon arrival then escort you to your table. Just can’t say enough, enjoy

    We are in town for my birthday to visit our daughter that goes to UT and just picked it out scrolling through the app. We were not disappointed. We enjoyed every aspect of our dinner. The service and food were great. The site says casual but I did feel underdressed a bit but I could not have asked for a better birthday dinner. My daughter enjoyed it so much she wants to bring her roommate there for her birthday in May. Thank you for an enjoyable evening.
