Phenomenal. The chef is a master. The steak is always cooked to perfection. Everything here is outstanding. Best restaurant on the island by far.

My girlfriend and I gave Marché a visit for our anniversary over a week ago. I’ve taken a few days to sit on this review, just to give it room to air, and maybe come back with a fairer perspective. But the more I’ve waited the more it’s aged like milk, instead of wine. I’ll begin by saying that I feel like my expectations were justified, given Atkinson's reputation (locally and online). He and his wife were present and were charming, from what little we saw of them. The staff appeared to be enjoying themselves in the kitchen—which you can see from the entryway—and the atmosphere was fine, if not a little on the generic side of “homey.” The food, however (how do I say this without being dramatic…) was shockingly dissappointing.I've only sent two plates back to the kitchen in all my life, and this is one of them. Believe me, I'm not a snoody foodie—my small town roots compel me to eat what I’m given and be grateful for it. For $30+ a plate, however, I expect better than unseasoned, undercooked squash, plain-as-cardboard muscles garnished with steamed-to-death fennel bulb (and *nothing* else), and a pasta with a cheese sauce so broken you’d have to sip your way through several spoon-fulls of oil to get to it. Believe me, a no-frills, small town diner chef could’ve done better.They politely offered to fix us another plate, which, admittedly, we should’ve taken, but at that point the wind was so far out of our sails that we decided to cut anchor and row for the nearest Anthony’s Homeport. We left hungry, $25 poorer (for two drinks and an “appetizer”), and looking for redemption. The menu offered an intriguing amount of daily specials which may, given some time and healing (ok, now I’m being dramatic) entice us to come back, but not before we’ve tried the rest of Bainbridge.

The service here is laughable.We came here for dinner and to celebrate a birthday, but didn’t order dessert. The waitress brought out an empty plate with a single candle.Any other decent restaurant would have at least brought out a small cake or dessert.Other than that, the waitress (middle/late aged lady that has worked there for a long time) was also very unprofessional. They didn’t carry the beer we ordered, so she said you can have this other one instead, but she said she pulled it from the back of the fridge, bc no one orders beer there. Clearly making fun of us for not ordering a bottle of wine.We spent $60+ each for dinner, but the experience was worse than cheese cake factory.I can’t imagine why people like this place, I anticipated much better than what we had.

It was a great meal and night out with out of town family… until our server went home mid-meal without any indication to us …and took our credit card with her. There was no offer to bring it back because the server lived 35 min away… No one seemed to know what to do. My family was leaving the next morning. We ended up arranging to meet another employee the next day, who agreed to go to the original server’s house, pick up our credit card and would meet us in Poulsbo. When I called to talk to a manager a few days later, she said she was “aware of the situation and it wouldn’t happen again” Literally that was it. So, for an institution that describes itself as “fine dining” .. they seriously missed the mark. We can go elsewhere.

Really enjoyed our dinner here! Loved the Lamb and Mussels. Fabulous wine list.
No music. Amateur hosting and strangely not offered a wine list. Not good value. Steak Frites meat was good but fries were truly underwhelming.

I just left the restaurant and I have a stomach ache. I could only eat 3 bites of my burger no flavor on the meat and the bun was hard. Fries were cold and undercooked maybe ate about 5 of those. Food is definitely overpriced not sure how they stay in business with mediocre quality food and an overpriced menu.

My wife’s French onion soup was fantastic and the grilled shrimp was good; however my “salmon chowder” was more like a fish soup and my wine tasted yeasty with crystallized strips at the bottom.Food seemed overpriced for what we got.

6 of us had a nice evening here. Everybody was happy with their beverages and food, the atmosphere was quite decent and provided a nice setting for us to enjoy each other's company. Pricing was acceptable. The owner stopped by and we had a fun couple of minutes chatting. I'm not stark raving about this place, maybe because the food was good but not transcendent, but we had fun and enjoyed our food and beverages, and will go back. It's a really nice neighborhood spot.

I had the salmon dish. It was a small piece for the price. I had a French 75 drink, salmon and creme brulee for dessert. All were delicious. Just know this restaurant is a little pricey. I guess we can blame that on our current inflation issues.
