I went to Marque yesterday and was bitterly disappointed.. Look at all those pictures above, looks great, doesn’t translate to taste at all. I’m all for presentation, but not at the expense of taste. The ambience was awful, when the restaraunt is full its noisy, you can’t have a conversation. The staff think they are floating on a cloud way above you, please, you’re the wait staff. The clincher for me was when one of the girls started ironing a table cloth right next to us…. could you make us feel any more unwelcome, we weren’t even up to the 6th of 8 courses. Actually that wasn’t it, it was when we were asked to leave by 5 at around 4:30 so they could set up for dinner at 7! Sorry, we were looking forward to an 8 course degastation menu that was meant to be a gastronomic delight that we could enjoy at a leisurely pace. Instead we had good looking, average tasting food rammed down our throats so they could turf us out as quickly as they could. I’ve never experienced such bad food, bad ambience and bad service with a price tag like that. Trust me, i’m not a serial rubisher of restaraunts, i’ve never written a bad blog before, but this warrants it.

Marque has been our restaurant of choice for special occasions over the years. Last time I was there, I stared at that cured ocean trout for a few minutes. It was too good to eat! Your photos are bringing back good memories

Oh wow! the degustation menu for Marque looks awesome. Howard still owes me a dinner, maybe I can convince him to take me to Marque. .-= Linda´s last blog ..cookshow&tell, Greek =-.

You are so lucky to live near to so many fab restaurants. The meal you had at Marque looks like it lived up to the hype. OK, it's now on my wishlist as well... .-= Belle@OohLook´s last blog ..100th Zumbo cake eaten by Ooh, Look =-.
