    The 3 of us were celebrating my husbands birthday. It was our first visit. First, unless one is using valet, it's difficult to find a parking place as the restaurant is inside a strip mall. The waiter was very nice, and we were shown to our table with no delay. My husband and brother in law both loved their entrees (filet and salmon); I loved my chopped salad, but I had never had coq a vin before, and I will never have it again....just didn't care for it! I didn't have dessert, but my husband and brother in law both had the rice pudding as the waiter gave it a great recommendation. I sampled it, and it certainly tasted nothing like any rice pudding I've ever made myself, or eaten at other places. The rice was indistinguishable from the other ingredients, like maybe it had been pureed? Any way, we were a bit disappointed after the build-up, and even though it was my husband's birthday, he was charged for the dessert. The restaurant was lovely, clean, well designed, and not much noise even though there were a lot of guests. But since it took us an hour to get there, we probably won't go again. Not thrilled enough to warrant a return trip.

    DELIGHTFUL and DELICIOUS experience! The restaurant space is lovely and the noise level surprisingly moderate given all the hard surfaces and the large size of the space.The service by Jeremy was excellent…friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delectable and artfully plated. Highly recommend A++ If you can “catch” the Dover Sole while they have it, run don’t walk …you won’t regret it!

    Marche was delicious as always. Two new appetizer were superb and SOLE MEUNIÈRE was outstanding. Larissa who has become like family was attentive and loving. Oscar is always smiling and making sure we are well taken care of. The entire staff makes sure our experience is satisfying. I even had a chance to see Chef Laurent and Arturo and greet them. Marche is a family owned resturant and not corporate. I have been a customer for decades. Never disappointed!!

    What can I say that I haven’t previously said about this great restaurant. The service is impeccable and the food is absolutely delicious. The kitchen performs with amazing precision. Great cocktails and a wine list that doesn’t overwhelm.

    Marche Moderne is a charming French restaurnant with delicious food for the most part. However, my friend and I both ordered the very expensive Dover Sole. It was delicious but lukewarm after the waiter de-boned it and rapidly became cold after it was served. I've ordered Dover Sole in many restaurants before and have not had this experience.
