   Service is horrible! Took 3 hours to get our food and half of it came out late. Very disappointed

   We sat in a booth because we have two in our party with hearing issues and hearing aids. The booths are tall so perfect for sound control. We could hear each other well and the food and service was excellent. We eat here whenever we can.

   We felt completely ignored… so when we arrived, we were seated and treated. Then a family came in with two loud kids. So we asked if we could move. They moved us and I thought everything was fine. Well I was wrong. After we were moved, the service STOPPED… we were ignored for most of the night. To the point I was in tears and just wanted to leave. Never have I felt so unwanted anywhere.

   So much to like about this place. Beautiful interior design, friendly and attentive staff, and great food! The filet was one of the best I’ve had. Try to save room for their ridiculous desert tray with several cakes, pies and more. Will definitely dine here again!

   Great wine list. Had a special dinner to celebrate a birthday. We ordered 2 of the 3 off menu specials (Sea bass and a steak/scallop/shrimp kabob) and they were very good except for the shrimp on both plates; it was over cooked and under seasoned. This was our first visit and we were somewhat surprised at how empty the place was for a Friday night. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was perfect to sit back and enjoy a nice bottle of wine. Our bill was over $250 and if I'm dropping that on a dinner I expect the food to be better. That being said, we will definitely return and maybe try the pizza... with a good bottle of wine of course.

   Good service, decent food. Nice to have half off on wine bottles on Wednesdays.

   Food was not good. I was charged for someone else’s food, dessert and drink on my ticket. I did not look at the itemized ticket before I got home which was my fault. The overcharge added another $50 to my ticket Will not be back!

   First time to Marvino’s. Ambience was great and the service at the door was fantastic as it was raining and the doorman brought an umbrella out for my wife. Restaurant was not crowded which was surprising for a Saturday evening at 7:00pm. Wait staff started off great with our cocktail and wine order. Appetizer, tuna steak, was amazing then things went downhill. Waiter seemed to really push the tomahawk steak which we didn’t do as we wanted a little variety. We did the short rib ravioli which was very good and the taste of Italy which was chicken marvino and a 6 oz filet. We also ordered the creamed spinach and corn brûlée. Creamed spinach came out cold and we had to flag down another server as ours literally did not come back(could it be because we didn’t do his very pushed tomahawk?) corn brûlée was barely warm and my filet was also BARELY warm almost blue. Steak had a good flavor but no one bothered to check in on us or how it was prepared. Upon leaving nobody even bothered to ask how are meal was. Could this be typical and hence a very empty restaurant for a Saturday?
