They're exceptional. Always knowledgeable about the wine list and menu. Always interesting and interested. Even if the food was just very good, BAR MARCO would be the favorite...but, the food is EXCELLENT. \n\nStarted with a fantastic dirty martini...capers instead of olives. Try the MEAN JOE...you'll be happy! \n\nFresh hand made pastas, delicious salads...OMG, if asparagus is in season the white asparagus soup is a MUST. The menu changes often, which is exciting. Even though it is a small menu, there are ALWAYS three or four tantalizing choices. \n\nDon't pass up the desserts. \n\nThe room is small and cozy. The service wonderful. \nHighly recommend."^^ .
