Editorial Review for Marseille – by Dan McAlvanah

The Scene
Little about this modest-looking Mediterranean restaurant gives it away as a place for such original and refined food. The atmosphere is brasserie-like; once a bank, the dark, echoey interior features an open tile floor, bright orange walls, linenless wood tables and red leather banquettes. The restaurant's Theater District location assures an older crowd.

The Food
There is striking flavor in the deceivingly simple preparations. A note-perfect chicken dish, for example, plays up a beautiful series of accompaniments like chopped cashews, beets and a sweetened cashew puree. Seafood is also a strength, particularly in a richly herbed lasagna of crab meat, mussels and shrimp and in a punchy bouillabaisse. Stick around for the chocolate and peanut butter tart with celery sorbet, a sort of grown-up take on a Kit Kat.

The moment we walked in, it is an utter disappointment. In spite of making reservations, we were offered a corner table opposite bar, next to kitchen with a bunch of young men making loud noise and making P----figures with table cloths. We were dressed for a broadway show and the hostess should have known better than to seat a young couple looking for a romantic dinner next to loud young people. The waiter had no idea about wine list when asked for suggestion. He just kept looking at the list and pointing at only one wine which is the costliest on the list. Food was awful and during the entire dinner the waiter showed up only once. Rest of the time other waiters keep showing up to take order or offering dessert menu having no clue that we already ordered. Desserts were disspeakable and a shame. If you plan to have a depressed evening, this is the best palce to be.

Our "special occasion" dinner of the weekend. We picked a fine bottle of burgundy. I had the special appetizer (grilled, HUGE calamari with a really interesting raspberry sauce - delicious!). Seafood couscous - like seafood & potato stew in a tagine with flavorful couscous on the side. I love the three condiments they give you (hot paste, apricot chutney, spiced sea salt) to mix with your couscous -- expanded the already flavorful dish. Dad & husband did the prix-fixe. They loved the mediterranean salad, lamb, and cheese plate for dessert. Mom had a delicious, interesting preparation of sea scallops, and we split the creme brulee. Mmmm! French bistro at its yummiest. Can't say I'll be going back on my own dime (thanks mom!), but the ambience was lovely. We ate real early (5:30pm for a 7:30 show), but that was the perfect time to get our waiter's attention before the pre-theatre rush. The waiter was a bit overly attentive & chatty, but the place seemed well run.

Pros: food, ambience

Cons: almost nosy service
