Around 65 dollars for scallops entrees shocked when meal arrived. There were only three scallops on the plate and nothing else no rice just three little scallops for $65. we’ll have to go out to another restaurant to eat after this meal.

My wife has flu, possibly Covid, and we called to cancel. Apparently, they wanted us to come anyway, because they charged us $100 cancellation, even though we called hours before our reservation, and even though we reported that she is ill.. I’d think twice about going to a restaurant that wants to expose its guests to Covid.

Elegant dining near Central Park focused on seafood and handmade pasta The octopus and bone marrow fusilli is unforgettable The staff make you feel special from the moment you sit down

I went to Marea after a few weeks, the week after I had been there a couple of weeks ago. The food was amazing as always.

Wow! What an amazing dining experience. Service was exceptional, food was delicious, setting was great. Restaurant was packed with clients and servers, but it never felt overwhelming … servers were almost choreographed, everyone knowing their role, and aware of everyone around them. We dined here four years ago, and remember how special that day was. This time I feel like it was even better. Just the right amount of food, didn’t feel stuffed or hungry at the end of the night. We ended with tiramisu for dessert, which was to die for … the best I have ever had, including in Italy. Thank you for making our experience one to remember.

We visited Marea as a family with two kids. At first, we were seated at what was clearly the least desirable four-top available, but that’s understandable and sometimes part of the game when you arrive with children. As the evening went on, once the staff noticed we were genuine guests who appreciate good food and ordered generously, the service became much warmer. Our waiter was attentive and kind, and overall the service started positive. The food, however, was absolutely outstanding. Everything was refined and beautifully prepared, from the raw seafood to the lobster, scampi (langoustine), and top-quality oysters. The pastas were excellent: our daughter’s butter pasta was surprisingly special, the mushroom-and-taleggio risotto was rich and creamy, the lobster risotto was spectacular, and the homemade spaghetti with clams was truly sublime. For the main course, we shared a Dover sole, which was good, delicate and flavorful, though a bit dry and with a few bones, so there was some room for improvement. What didn’t quite work were the side dishes recommended by the waiter. The butternut squash/zucchini with curry and salted ricotta, while interesting, clashed completely with the fish. The sautéed mushrooms were also well seasoned, maybe too much, with rosemary and herbs, again not really matching the main. Both sides were tasty on their own but simply not the right pairing. So, in summary: the kitchen delivered excellence, even the sides were good, just mismatched. The service, while friendly at first, faded toward the end, the waiter never came back after we finished, and someone else dropped off the bill without a goodbye. We would have left a higher tip if the service had ended on the same positive note it began with. That said, we’ll definitely return, Marea is an excellent restaurant with exceptional cuisine. The only area that fell short this time was the service toward the end of the meal.
Great food and service in a lovely room that's lively without being noisy. Excellent pasta and fish!

I recognize the value this place offers its customers. The team remains observant, addresses questions enthusiastically and performs wonderfully. I've found every dish to be worthy of recommendation. The best food quality in the area. I'm ready to go back to this place.

Phenomenal food and exquisite service. We sat outside which was ok, would have preferred inside. Overall, one of the best meals I have ever had. Thank you, wonderful to spend anniversary here.
