    I love Marche. Have been coming here for years and just came two Saturdays back to back and both times we had to wait forever for our table even though we had a reservation, and then most of our dining experience was terrible this weekend. They served us the wrong drinks and had an attitude when we asked for the correct ones, had the air blasting on an already cold night (we couldn’t take off our jackets), couldn’t keep track of simple things like who had sparkling vs still water so they mixed them up and got attitude when we had to ask for fresh cups, and also couldn’t seem to course out our meal so we’re not stuck with almost our whole order on the table at once. Our server was super nice and probably single-handedly saved the night, as well as the manager who was apologetic up front about not having our preferred table ready even though the party occupying it had been there for 3 hours. Food was great, per usual, I hope the service gets back to where it was.

    Mikey came down to have a last dinner with us. We hadn’t been back in 7 years as last time was fabulous. This time not. Appetizers were phen9minal Tuna with apple’s presentation was great and tasty. Kathy’s scallops and Michael’s soup were excellent Dinner of my scallops were fair at best as the Congolese had sand and the lingu8ni was clumpy. Kathy’s coco van was dry and just fair Rice pudding was excellent Service was good

    Started out the special evening to celebrate my wife's 75th birthday at the bar. After enjoying two fantastic cocktails, we were shown to our table by the hostess where my son and his wife were waiting to surprise my beautiful wife. Dinner with appetizers, entrees and two bottles of wine were excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant for a special night out.

    Hamachi crudo with pear and salade Amelia preceded the Dover sole meunière (deboned and served table side). Finished the meal with chambord marinated raspberries and Tahitian vanilla crème brulée and a 20 year Sandeman 20 year tawny port. Food, beverages and service were first-class. The restaurant was fully booked.

    There were 4 of us for dinner. Service was a bit slow to take our drinks order, and equally slow to take our food order. After our drinks arrived, it took about 25 minutes to get our first course. Then more problems. First they delivered 2 hot plates (for our 2 Dover sole entrees). But then they delivered the other 2 entrees, but not our 2 Dover soles. We waited about 8-10 minutes for them to bring our other 2 entrees, during which time the hot plates became room temperature. When I complained, they brought 2 new hot plates, but it took another few minutes to get the fish entrees. Then one Dover sole arrived complete with the side dish, but the other Dover sole entree had no side dish. When I asked the server about the missing side dish, he said he'd get the kitchen to get it right out. That took another 5-6 minutes. The good news: the food was excellent. The bad news: the kitchen was having difficulty delivering all of our entrees together. We've been dining at Marche for many years (all the way back to when it was located in Southcoast Plaza), and this was the first time we experienced discombobulated service.

    This was the first time I have dined at Marche Modern for dinner and it will not be the last! I love Dover Sole so we decided to finally make it in to dinner for our anniversary. We had a great time and fantastic service from Kywan. As a sommelier for many years, I really appreciated that he understood maintaining wine temperatures on certain white wines. He correctly asked if he could leave the Puligny-Montrachet on the table so that the wine was at the correct temperature since it was a bit too cold but still offered to bring an ice bucket if that was my preference. It's exactly what I would have done. Of course the Dover Sole was delicious, the wine list was very appropriate. I really appreciated all of the split bottles that were available to choose from. Dessert was amazing. I would say this is the best French Bistro in Orange County and it deserves a Michelin Star. FLAWLESS. We will definitely return. Thank you for a great evening.
