    The Buffet is outstanding! All the dishes were seasoned well and absolutely delicious! Our server Chanel was amazing...very attentive and removed our used plates as soon as the were empty!! We were a few minutes late from our reservation time, so next time we'll be sure to arrive exactly on time so that I'll be able to eat the entire 90 minutes reserved for buffet diners. This is my fourth time dinning here and, for sure, it most definitely won't be the last!!!

    Had the Trout dish. Server was not knowledgeable of the dish preparation and what sides accompanied. I was told it came Al a carte so I ordered a side of collards, however, there was a small side arugula salad included. The trout was overly salty, after a couple of bites I felt lightheaded. This is my 3rd time coming to MBG and has been the let down as the other two experiences were great. Maybe just an off night.

    I really enjoyed my first time in the restaurant. The drinks were amazing. Tried all the starters and the corn bread was heavy and too thick and crumbly, deviled eggs were tasteless, the ribs were tender and delicious. Ordered the Salmon with collard greens perfectly cooked and was delicious even got some collard greens to go, Brisket was tender and Brussels sprouts was amazing and potatoes.
    Marcus Bar & GrilleResponded 2 days ago
    Hi Carla, Thank you so much for joining us and sharing such honest feedback—we’re glad to hear your first visit had some standout moments, especially the drinks, ribs, and salmon with collard greens. That said, we’re truly sorry that not everything hit the mark. Our goal is to "wow" from start to finish, and we missed the mark on a few of those starters. Please accept our sincerest apologies and trust that your input is incredibly valuable to us. We’ll be sure to share your insights with our culinary team. We hope you’ll give us another chance to deliver a fully stellar experience the next time you're in O4W. Warmly, The Marcus Bar & Grille Team

    Incredibly delicious food, excellent service, great atmosphere. I am usually here when it is really busy and I can tell you that it is very different when it is not. Everything was exceptional. I will start to eat here more often.

    Very small plates for a brunch menu. Keeps the lines full and congested for all the seconds. The food was good served buffet style but was a little cold. I don’t think the food quality aligns with quality Marcus is known for. Don’t know of if I will go back.

    Brunch wasn’t as good today as I remembered it being in the past. The food didn’t seem fresh, and it just was underwhelming as a whole. The best thing I had was my strawberry mimosa. The server was dry and not personable at all. 30 minutes into our meal, we had to ask another server to grab us some water because he never brought it. Never checked on us throughout our meal. We had to flag him down in order to get our bill. When he brought it back, we still thanked him of course, and he said nothing. No “have a great day”, no “thank you”, nothing. And then to see an auto gratuity of 20%, it’s almost as if he gave us poor service because he didn’t have any incentive to give good service. I have probably come to this restaurant 8 times before, usually for dinner service, but after my experience today, I will not be returning.

We hope you will give us another chance and allow us to show you our best. With regrets, The Marcus Bar & Grille Team
