I was told by one of my foodie friends that this used to be his fave resto before Carl Hendrich left to open Richmond Station.. which I now want to visit after being disappointed by Marben :(
Marben's menu changes regularly so I can't find the names of the dishes we ordered anymore - but the app we ordered was a salad with fennels and greens, and a delicate duck egg sitting in the middle. It was an interesting dish - for the lack of a better word because I had more fun poking at the egg and trying to eat it with my salad than how much I actually enjoyed the taste of the salad itself.
For our mains, we had the grilled octopus and John's Burger. The burger didn't have anything special to it, I wasn't a particular fan of the burger nor the patty. The octopus was fairly delicious with the artichoke chips and overall stood out to me more than the burger. Also should note the portions are small. We decided to forgo dessert here after the not so memorable apps and mains.
Not sure if I'd revisit even though the decor is quite beautiful and I loved the ambiance. Maybe if something new pops up on their menu, it's a resto for a special occasion but not one for foodie ventures
