| - I visited Marben last night with a few of my gal pals and we had a fabulous time. We ordered various items on their menu to get a sampling of what they had to offer.
Food
Appetizers
Cod Fritters - so yummy, potatoey and fishy all at the same time. I was expecting a greasy appetizer but that was not the case. The red sauce it came with was a great accent to the fritters.
Charcuterie Board - what a fun and interactive appetizers, great selection of meats, cheese and pickles. I loved the presentation. The gals and I gobbled the appetizer up.
Mains
John's Burger - wow - one of the best burgers I have had in the city. You must try their burger. Juicy, flavourful and melt in your mouth.
Sides
Gnocchi - oh so good, kinda small for sharing, I wished there was more. The gnocchi was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The fried onions and roasted brussel sprouts added a nice crunch.
Yukon Gold Fries with Truffle Aioli - lots of fries to share, the gals and I could not finish the side. The fries were well-executed, the aioli was delish.
Drinks
Sangria - great drink, it was like drinking a fruity punch. I did not realize how much i was drinking until my glass was empty. Oops.
Service
Quick and super friendly. We had to hunt down our server for more water and our bill.
Atmosphere
Cozy, intimate yet loud. We were tucked in a corner and I had trouble hearing my friends.
Overall, I had a great time with my friends and the food was wonderful. I will definitely be back to try out the other items on their menu and their desserts. We were too full after our meal.
