I visited the Marca in Cobourg several times and I was excited about the prospect of a Marca in Markham. I was sorely disappointed that the service fell desperately short. The waiter is to blame. Shaved head, short guy. My friends and I are in our late 20s, PhDs and professional degrees. Nonetheless, the waiter thought we should be treated like kids. His tone was unprofessional, and his humour was out of place. I ordered the tiramisu at the end, he warned me that it might not be ready. I asked him to make sure that it had set, and if so, to bring it over. It wasn't ready, and he brought over a plate of soupy mush. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't acceptable. After dessert, I asked him to split the bill (for four people). He refused and told me that I must tell him at the beginning, otherwise, he can't do it. Bull. Lazy.
The only reason I didn't give this a "2", is because the entrees were still excellent, along with the appetizers.
