| - We were a group of 8 and the server handled us all well, and even talked through the gluten free options for one of us who has such issues. Thank you!
There was an oyster special last night, get a dozen for only $20. They were fantastic, fresh and perfect. But I can't attribute this praise to Marben as they were from Rodney's.
Then the heirloom carrot salad came. Literally a bowl of full sized carrots smeared in sesame seeds. Not what I expected but I try to be open to new food experiences. This was blah and uninspired.
For my main I ordered the market special Bouillabaisse. It was a bowl of seafood, no soup. They attempted to ceremoniously pour the soup over the seafood from a jug. I'd generously say I got three ounces of liquid. Only what little soup there was, was stone cold. I didn't order vichyssoise! When I asked about it, they asked if I wanted my dish replaced, and I said no I would simply like more broth that is hot. They complied within a couple of minutes, but it was only warm at best. I couldn't be bothered to complain more. The seafood morsels themselves were tasty, but obviously not infused with the broth flavour. Perhaps I'm thankful for that as the soup broth was more like a strange gravy. As I looked around, only one person at the table seems to be eating with gusto, and that was the one who ordered the burger. I tasted my boyfriend's rabbit ravioli and was underwhelmed by the same gravy flavour as my Bouillabaisse. Weird.
I'll end on a high note here because my meal did too: The dulce de leche panacotta was perfectly delightful!
