The service was outstanding. Our server was just the right amount of attentive, gave good menu advice and was very friendly. The soups were delicious, my husband’s pasta as well. My orchiette was very good but I found the pasta itself was a little too dense/thick for my taste and couldn’t eat much of it because it was very filling. It might be perfect for another’s palate. We have dined at Marche many times and highly recommend it.

The separate bar located across a brick enclosed pathway was quaint and the drinks were done well. The reservation was right on time and service was really nice. Our waitress was a gem, and checked in just enough. The meals (4) total, were all as ordered, came out nicely timed (following starters and salads/soups), and prepared/plated well. Definitely a spot to recommend and return to.

Food was very good, service was good but could be better , The cook kept pounding on something I think he was tenderizing some meat but it was very loud and distracting. Every one was very nice and profesional, I don't think I will go back there as there are other places with about the same prices and less distraction,
