Unfortunately this restaurant fails on every other level.\n\nService is non existent. I didn't encounter a single friendly face in the entire restaurant, with the exception of a nice guy (waiter?) who gave us a to-go container for my daughter's leftover pasta. So what are we paying the mandatory 12% for?\n\nAmbiance is quite nice actually. The restaurant is well designed and decorated, and the little pockets of seating give the place a cozy feel. The biggest problem are the little flies that seem to be everywhere. I was hesitant to eat anything because of them.\n\nFood is straight up terrible. \n-- Salad bar is average at best. Sweet potatoes and carrots are good but the rest of it is wilted, overcooked, or both. Basics like avocado or tomatoes are in a separate section for custom made salads and are off limits for regular salad bar goers. I don't get that.\n-- Mahi was dry and tasteless. Accompanying rice was eerily similar to a pathetic meal I had on Delta Airlines a few weeks ago.\n-- Pasta is overcooked and bland. I will say the quantity was substantial though.\n-- Desserts looked sad and old. I didn't even venture to taste the many that our group selected. \n\nMarche is also very expensive. Our party of five people paid a total of $150, which was ridiculous. I could have gone to a proper steakhouse and had a great meal with quality ingredients for that price.\n\nDespite the fact that my 11-year-old loved this place (she loves Souplantation if that tells you anything) I have no plans to ever return."^^ .
