Called in a take out order from Marnee several weeks ago and tried my standard Thai order of Spicy Basil Chicken Lunch Special. First item of note was no brown rice. I don't really dock restaurants for this but it's still worth mentioning. When I arrived 10-15 minutes later I walked into a nearly empty restaurant. I then was nicely asked to have a seat and waited 4-5 minutes for my meal. It doesn't really bother me if I walk into a busy restaurant and have to wait a few extra minutes, but I didn't really understand where the holdup could have been in this instance.
When I got back to the office I thought the meal looked pretty standard, which is not a bad thing since it's one of my favorite dishes. The egg roll seemed soggier than I'm used to, probably because they had it in the same takeout container with the rest of the food. It also seemed a little overcooked which with combined with the sogginess did not leave me satisfied. The chicken basil was fine, but unspectacular, and the chicken itself was as I've described several times in other reviews that not quite finely ground and not quite nicely sliced, but instead it seemed like clumsily cut up pieces of chicken.
I did notice a lot of positive reviews mentioned late night dining which I could see being a big bonus. Unfortunately I'm scared of the dark and have to be tucked in by 10pm. If a Thai place was open near me at 2am I'd probably sleepwalk there though.
I think a year or two ago I would have probably still found this a 3 star meal because the flavors weren't awful, but with the amount of Thai restaurants I've tried since then, I've got to rank it against the others and thereby it only gets a 2 from me.
