About Marketa at Vacation- Columbia & Chill

Marketa at Vacation- Columbia & Chill offers a laid-back, summer-y atmosphere that makes it a great spot before or after a concert at Merriweather. The restaurant extends from the adjacent establishment, sharing the same menu, which adds to its convenience. The food receives mixed reviews; some dishes, like the birria tacos and nachos, are enjoyed, though others, such as fish tacos and birria, may not meet everyone's taste due to soggy tortillas or a sweet flavor in the broth. The kids' chicken tender meal is notably large, and the fried foods like Brussels, calamari, and fried shrimp are popular choices for sharing. Drinks are a highlight, especially the caramel Wicked Apple, and the bar experience with staff members Kevin & Michael is highly praised for being friendly, swift, and well-made. The staff overall are consistently friendly and welcoming, contributing positively to the visit. However, service can be slow, and some guests found the food to be inconsistent, with some dishes not quite meeting expectations. The bathrooms are clean, and the overall environment remains enjoyable despite occasional delays. Visitors appreciate the friendly staff and vibrant atmosphere, making it a good spot for casual dining and drinks, especially when combined with its ideal location near Merriweather.

My husband and I came here for our 1 year anniversary. We had come to this location once before and really liked it and we were excited to have it again. We both ordered the steak, medium rare. The steak came out done - there wasn’t even a hint of pink. Granted, neither of us said anything because we don’t like to send food back or create any kind of issues. We were still able to eat them, so it was fine, right?
We paid our check and left, where we went to another local...read full review

food is ok. have had better. very loud salsa music the whole time. I,m sure thats for the kitchen help to enjoy. no one else liked it. had to scream to talk to my friend the whole time. won't go back. I don't like to pay 130 for lunch and not be able to enjoy it. thats just stupid.

This place is absolutely amazing! Such a creative and inspired menu! Our server Jeffrey was perfectly spot on all night! The beef carpaccio was so good I ordered 2!! Will definitely be a repeat customer!! Excellent!
