A great meal, as always at this landmark theater district mainstay. We got a great table and the wait staff could not have been nicer. My only issue is that the meatloaf is still off the menu!

We wanted a great Thanksgiving dinner, and this restaurant served up that in spades! Escargot was phenomenal, grilled octopus likewise. The four of us had different entrees, but all of the dishes were beyond delicious. Dessert and coffee finished upone of the most enjoyable meals we’ve had in a long time. Marseille has a wonderful staff who understand timing and don’t rush you, too, which is equally as important when you want a great dining experience.
