Marco is welcoming and enthusiastic, and very hands on. The food is made with care and fresh ingredients. Everyone is kind and the service is attentive. Pretty easy parking or commuting too. We went to a brunch, so the experience was unique. Loud, raucous and fun. But we can't wait to go back for a dinner and have a completely different high quality evening in the cozy restaurant. Highly recommend.

Classic high end American restaurant. Extensive wine list but not overwhelming or overpriced. Oysters rock and shrimp cocktail were just big enough. Duck was right up there with the best we've ever had. Fried leeks as garnish was unnecessary and distracting from meal. We also had then salmon and mahi mahi. Both were done perfectly. There's a reason classic recipes stand the test of time.

A well thought out layout with great ambiance. Service from experienced and friendly wait staff. House salad was unremarkable and fish had a slight odor plus being served on the hard side of doneness. Pork chop was cooked to perfection. Not sure if another visit is appropriate at these prices.

We dined here to celebrate a wedding anniversary. It was a great dinner and the restaurant provided us with a complementary dessert which was delicious. A very nice touch and much appreciated. Marco's Kitchen is a restaurant that we will definitely return to.,
