Marlow East

Marlow East is a true standout on the Upper East Side. From the moment you walk in, you’re met with warmth, attentiveness, and a level of hospitality that feels rare in the city. The space is beautifully designed, striking the perfect balance between modern elegance and neighborhood charm. The food? Thoughtful, refined, and full of heart. Every dish is crafted with care and creativity, offering bold flavors without ever feeling overdone. It’s clear the team here knows exactly what they’re doing—both in the kitchen and in creating a memorable dining experience. It’s officially one of my go-to spots—not just for incredible food, but for the kind of atmosphere that makes you feel genuinely welcome every time.

A nice addition to the neighborhood. The ambiance is very nice and the food was good with some nice creative touches. I started with the pimiento croquettes which were delicious, especially when paired with their dirty pimiento martini. The pork chop was also really good though I passed on dessert as none of the options really appealed. Overall, a great dinner though.

It was my great pleasure to bring my family here. We started with a few appetizers, each one offering delightful twists on fine dining staples. Our entrees were masterfully paired and exquisitely executed. The staff were very attentive and helpful. From servers that don’t miss a beat to owners that actually care enough to speak with their customers. Truly an unforgettable evening. I’ll be going back as much as possible. The only thing I didn’t like was that I went home without getting EVERYTHING! Big thanks to the whole team for make our night so special!!!

The space is stunning. It’s the kind of place where you can just as easily meet friends for cocktails as enjoy a longer, more indulgent dinner. Service was attentive but relaxed. The tuna crudo was fresh, the steelhead trout delicate and perfectly cooked (highly recommend) and the lobster roll — buttery, generous, and unforgettable!

I had such a great experience at Marlow East from the moment I walked in, everything felt elevated and thoughtfully designed. The food was delicious, the cocktails were crafted to perfection, and the ambiance was both elegant and welcoming. The attention to detail, from the fresh floral arrangements to the beautifully lit tables and marble bar, makes this place stand out. It’s exactly what the Upper East Side needed! I’ll definitely be back soon.

We didn’t have a reservation and my partner decided to roll the dice and hoping to try for walk in availability especially around the holiday. When the restaurant opened at 5m we were able to be seated at the bar. Decor is classy with a beautiful sophisticated bar and gorgeous flowers. We bartenders were great and quite helpful navigating the menu with their recommendations. We started with the Ceaser Salad the lightly fried cream cheese and ritz crackers were pleasant update to a classic salad. For entree we ordered the pork dish and the poached trout, both unexpectedly fantastic. Marlow East lives up to the hype!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Memorable Dining Experience From the moment we walked in, everything about this restaurant felt special. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with beautiful decor that strikes the perfect balance between chic and cozy. We were greeted with genuine smiles and seated promptly, and the service remained attentive and gracious throughout the evening. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious—clearly crafted with care and high-quality ingredients. The flavors were layered and well-balanced, and the presentation was stunning. You can tell the chef puts real passion into the food. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want a top-tier meal, this place delivers. We’ll definitely be coming back—and recommending it to everyone we know. A true gem!

Such a wonderful restaurant and experience! From start to finish, it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in NYC lately. Love the vibe and atmosphere of this restaurant! The cocktails and food were just incredible. Every dish was thoughtful, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Service was also top-tier—attentive, knowledgeable, and very kind. Already planning my next visit. If you’re looking for that perfect mix of cool atmosphere, standout cocktails, and seriously good food, Marlow East is it. :)

Beautiful new, chic restaurant in the neighborhood! When you first walk in there is a beautiful bar and great romantic lighting. The waiters and staff are so welcoming and accommodated our baby and stroller which we were so thankful for. The food and drinks are so delicious! We ordered a martini and a tequila hard drink and both came out strong and tasty. For food we started with the tuna crudo and Caesar salad - both super fresh and full of flavor. For our mains we had the famous Gnudi with truffle and the halibut. The sauce on the halibut was divine! The best halibut I have had. The Gnudi was of course delicious and the truffle was an excellent touch. For dessert we had the homemade panna cotta which was topped with beautiful pistachios. This is one of the nicest high end restaurants on the upper east side, so sophisticated. Thank you to Alex the manager for taking great care of us!

The restaurant is pretty and we were hopeful. Best: the cocktails were good! I would come back for drinks Food wise... It was ok food but the portion was quite small even by ues standard. It's hard to justify coming back.

food poisoning. avoid. spent night on/next to toilet the app says I need to type more characters...nothing better to do while awaiting next wave of nausea...

Service was good, food was decent, and the dining room is somewhat on the upscale side. Not sure why their rating is so low. We shared a market green salad, ordered the pork chop and sweet corn Agnolotti for main and ended the meal with the ice cream sundae.
