Can not recommend and would absolutely not suggest relying on this business for your special event such as a wedding! First, food does not live up to their hype. Average taste at best. Salad was decent, the risotto needed some acidity to cut the richness (was better than the pasta course originally suggested that tasted like plain boxed pasta and a jar of pesto was added). The steak was good, however the small portion with 4 tiny slices per serving for my husband and I was pathetic, not to mention the side of plain potatoes drenched in oil were served cold. *more on that later. In addition the bread course was a total rip off. $5 per person for bread that turned out to be very thin slices of clearly store purchased bread sliced thin and cut in half was pathetic. Also we skipped the dessert course… can’t remember their pretentious name for chocolate pudding, that was also mediocre at best for a cake from an outside vendor. Second, the restaurant staff was dressed atrociously for a formal event such as a wedding. Our florist and his staff was dressed better when they unloaded the flowers before the event than the Bar Marco staff was attired for the event. Homeless hipster was not appreciated or appropriate. Not to mention one of the staff “was cold” so they decided to turn off the a/c and switch on the heat in the room before the event on a hot humid day. Add 40 people and candles and the space despite switching back to a/c was warm and uncomfortable, even guests complained about the warm space. Staff also rolled eyes when the cold potatoes were served to us. Third, the room… already mentioned the heat on was also loud and echoed despite being told that would not be an issue. On one of the most special days in your life you want everything as close to perfect and this was overall a disappointment. I do have to give 1 star in the review to the facility for accommodating one guest with a food allergy and 3 others that do not eat red meat. Look elsewhere for a facility to host your wedding so your memories of your special day are not clouded with poor food, surly staff, a humid warm space and a venue that clearly does not live up to their hype.
