A Little Piece of Heaven in Hell's Kitchen

by Kathysmith229

What a beautiful restaurant! I truly felt as though I was somewhere in France. My waitress was attentive and patient, and once the food came I was sold.

I didn't want my meal to end, i was with five people and all of us enjoyed everything we got. The waitress was attentive with just the right balance of checking on us without being over-bearing.

Marseille was a true dining experience and I can't wait to get back together with my friends and go back!

• Pros: ambiance, food

ITS A HEAT BOX!

by eatdrinkbmerryinnyc

As the review states below, it is a lot of great rich food in this place but only go November through March, After that it is simply to hot in the room to eat.

I forget it is a French Restaurant so usually that means they have no air conditioning.

I have to say it was rather gross to have the waiter come up to me as pleasant as he was, dripping in sweat.

But if you can manage to go there in the coldest night of winter it is a lovely place to be.

• Pros: Winter, Cold Beverages,
• Cons: NO A/C, sweaty waiters, No A/C

Pretty Good

by finetasting

I went to Marseilles during restaurant week with 3 other friends. It was my first time trying French Cuisine, and we thought the food was good if you enjoy food that is cooked with heavy cream, butter and cheese. I had the potato, leek, clam soup for appetizer, Mushroom risotto as the entree (nice and creamy), and their hot chocolate soup for dessert (mediocre). Their beef carpaccio was good according to my friend, and my bf praised their pistachio crusted tuna. Their service could have been better, our waitress was not as attentive as we would've liked. It took over a half-hour for the dessert to come out. despite their service, it was overall a good experience.

• Pros: Quick seating
• Cons: service
