Marker 37 offers a beautiful waterfront location with stunning views of the Connecticut River. The restaurant has a gorgeous, secluded setting that makes it special, especially with the terrace view of boats drifting by under a blue sky and surrounded by colorful autumn trees. The menu boasts a variety of dishes, including the popular Great Burrata, fish and chips, and ahi tuna tacos. Diners can also enjoy clam chowder, mussels with fries, and fried calamari. The atmosphere is serene and kid-friendly, featuring a spacious covered patio that accommodates strollers and provides a relaxed nautical theme.
Customers consistently praise the excellent service and friendly staff, with many highlighting the manager's responsiveness to any issues. The lovely patio decor, with teak tables and music, creates a pleasant ambiance. Many visitors highly recommend the vegetarian burger, seafood options, and dishes such as truffle fries, Parmesan roasted Brussels sprouts, cheesecake cannoli, and flourless chocolate tort lava cake. The calamari and the fresh tomato burrata appetizer have been noted for their quality, along with a crispy fig prosciutto flatbread.
The fish and chips have received compliments for their flaky white fish and crunchy batter. While some guests feel that the food quality does not always match the premium pricing, they still find the overall dining experience delightful. The restaurant is also noted for accommodating gluten-free requests, making it a welcoming choice for various diners. Overall, Marker 37 remains a beautiful place to relax by the river and enjoy a meal with friends, with the ambiance and location being the true highlights.
