Disappointing start for Marcus! Come for the atmosphere -- NOT the food. Appetizers were HORRIBLE! Oysters app had no flavor. Store-bought dips taste better than their hummus. Didn't detect the citrus in the lobster salad -- tasted more like a bad lobster salad with too much mayo and no taste. And what is up with the sausage app -- did they buy them in the freezer aisle (and let them get freezer burn)? The cut of my steak entree was tough and chewy. Only upside were the drinks. They have some funky ones on the menu. I would wait until they work out the kinks in the menu.
Pros: Drinks, cool atmosphere
Cons: Food lacks taste
