Marmalade Cafe

Only giving this review two stars because I did enjoy my soup. I work nearby and wasn’t feeling my best today, I just wanted a nice grilled cheese and soup. My sandwich was beyond disappointing. Added bacon. The bacon looked old. My bread was cold and hard. The cheese didn’t even cover the bread, nor did it melt. It was shreds of cheese that just got hard. I paid $20 for this and just feel ripped off :(

This is a must go to establishment every time I am in LA. Taryn (manager) was amazing and Crystal and the rest of the staff were awesome as well. Last but not least, THE FOOD is heavenly. The pineapple upside down pancakes and the dark chocolate macadamia pancakes is a tough choice. But they both pale in comparison to the waffles. This place doesn’t miss with the food or service.

I never write reviews but our server Ramon was amazing! Very attentive and very kind, he truly made our dinning experience wonderful. The food was really delicious as well. I will be back again soon!

So many places to eat at the farmers market and the Grove, I was shocked at how poor this experience was. Terrible service. Food in this environment should be top notch, average or anything but what we got today. Prime rib sandwich and Tuna melt was gas station quality at best. If you absolutely feel like you have to eat here, get a salad. Nice atmosphere is the only redeeming factor.

I’ve went to this location a few times and always had a great experience until yesterday!! I’m not sure if they got new mangement, but the customer service is horrible. I went to the bar to get a happy hour drink but Was told that they do not serve happy hour at this particular location, which is different than what’s on their actual website. The fact that there’s no happy hour at this location is not an issue at all for me. It was the attitude in which the bartender took with me for even asking about happy hour. She was super rude and nasty. I felt like me even asking about happy hour was an issue for her. She was yelling across the bar, how much my bill would be rather than just giving me my check so I can close out. She was treating me like I came in there with no money and no intentions on paying full price for anything which is not the case. I eat out quite often and I’ve never been treated like this, which is why I felt the necessity to leave such a lengthy review in regards to my experience.

I ordered the Eggs Benedict with Lobster and the eggs were great but the lobster seemed like it was frozen and thawed because it was very bland, watery, with only a hint of lobster flavor. The Bloody Mary was great and well presented. Previously I have had the Beef Stew and it is the best.

We had brunch today at this fun place in the bustling LA Farmer's Market. I ordered the Seared Ahi Tuna salad with Asian coleslaw. As you can see, they give a generous portion and it was delicious as well! I'd gladly order it again on my next visit.

I'm not going to take any stars off for the woman who ate too many edibles and was screaming when we arrived. They handled that situation well and sat us outside. Our server was super friendly and helpful. We ordered two of his suggestions: the beef pot roast and the glazed salmon. The pot roast was delicious and fell apart in my mouth. The glazed salmon needed more sauce or something. Underwhelming. My friend got crispy pot stickers, and those were amazing. It was her birthday and they gave us a free ice cream dessert. Good times all around!

I went to Marmalade Cafe for breakfast. I have been to the Marmalade Cafe before and have always been impressed at how friendly everyone is. Today was no different. We were seated and our waiter took or order right away. Food was delivered relatively quickly by different but friendly person. I had the eggs benedict and my partner had the Giilsons Scramble. Both of us commented on the generous portion size and both of us thought the food was very good. One of the things that I really like about the restaurant is the amount of windows and sunlight that it gets and you have the option of sitting inside or outside. This is definitely a good breakfast/brunch place. I should go back and try it for lunch or dinner!

Let me preface by saying that I have eaten many many times at the marmalade cafés at the Grove, Malibu, and Calabasas. Normally the service is wonderful. But not so today. I can understand being understaffed. But normally, when that's the case, the server will let us know. Lunch took 2 1/2 hours. And there was no apology or explanation. My brother took me to lunch for my birthday. I ordered the keto salad. When it arrived, there was no dressing. I asked two servers if I could have the ranch dressing (which is what it came with on the menu), and after more than 10 minutes I walked into the kitchen to ask for it myself. Also, I ordered the egg on the salad hard and not runny. But when I poked it with my fork, it ran all over the salad. I showed it to the waitress and it took more than 20 minutes to get a new avocado and egg. I needed a new avocado because the egg had ran all over it. When the bill came my brother immediately put down his credit card. After over 30 minutes of waiting for the waitress to take the bill and card he went to the front to try to give his payment to the hostess. And, after waiting for someone to arrive at the hostess desk, he finally just took out cash and left it on the bar.

Food standard. Today's spinach dip was not good as it lacked spinach and heat. Tasted too milky. The sweet potato fries was great as a side. I like the new colors and upholstery. It adds a brightness and lightness to the atmosphere. Just wish the menu was cleaner and laminated! The paper was old and dirty. Service impeccable! Jason was amazing and so attentive.

From start to finish, marmalade cafe was perfection. Having walked through the twinkling magical lights of The Grove, I arrived before my friend and without reservations. They allowed me to choose any table I wanted and to sit prior to my friend arriving. It was 6:30 on a weekday so not very crowded, although still enough people to feel festive. I chose a large booth towards the back where I could admire the freshness of the interior. It felt nice and warm with the soft but sufficient lighting while also airy due to the open space and cream painted walls. Service was professional and prompt. I couldn't decide between entered and my server helped me choose. I had the chicken piccata with angel hair pasta and a Caesar while my friend had the tuna salad. I think the chicken piccata was the best I've had although perhaps made better by being so hungry. The sauce was light but flavorful. The chicken thin and tender. Both of us finished every bite on our plates, despite being large servings. My friend had been several times in the past and said that while they specialize in fish, everyone shes gone with has loved their meal. I wish I lived in LA and would come more often to try other entrees!

Went here back in 2021. Good quality food for expensive price but a good option at the Grove

Me and the husband were in a pinch and needed to find a restaurant for a quick bite before our movie. We've gone to this establishment before for lunch and were surprised it wasn't too busy considering it was dinner time on a Saturday night. The ambiance is really laid back so this restaurant is good for casual get togethers or quick bites. We ordered two blood orange marmalade margaritas and a pot roast to share. The blood orange margaritas were a little too sweet for our preference, so my husband ordered an extra shot to balance it out. The pot roast was fantastic. Very comforting and savory and I was delightfully surprised at how tender the pieces were. The yukon mash was very buttery and smooth and the veggies were cooked to perfection. Definitely one of their stronger dishes to order. Service here was quick and efficient, and we were out in less than an hour. Will definitely return again!

Had brunch here on a Friday morning and it was great! Easy to get a table, service was good and food was tasty! It is one of our go-tos for breakfast when we go to the Grove.

Marmalade Cafe has been a part of my dining life since the early 2000's. They have restaurants in LA and the Valley. I've never been disappointed in the food, atmosphere, service, or vibe. This pancake was delicious! It was more like a cake and took as long to make. Yes, expect a 20 minute wait as they make it to order! I would order it again but to share instead of my main.

We were looking for somewhere to eat while waiting for traffic to die down and found Marmalade. We sat outside. Nice ambiance, quick service. Sodas were a bit flat, but food was great! We got the BBQ burger and chicken tacos -- both were amazing! The bathrooms of this place were super fun down and dirty, and didn't fit the vibe of the rest of the place at all. They validate parking for the farmer's market lot, but not for the grove parking structure.

Had a terrible experience here. Both the service and food were a disaster. We can on a Sunday evening for a light and early dinner. We ordered the recommended French onion soup and shrimp and lobster pasta. The French onion soup was one of the worst I've ever tasted. It tasted like a bunch of bouillon and water. The pasta was very average, with tiny pieces of frozen lobster bits, not much flavor, and is one of the most expensive items on the menu. Now to the service. Our waiter took our order, and we never saw him again. He was hanging out at the front reception and bar, but not really doing anything. We tried to get his attention but he was in his own world, so I couldn't even get some Parmesan cheese to hopefully make the pasta taste a little better. In the end, we had to get the bill from another waiter. It was really disappointing, we would have been better off eating at Cheesecake Factory.

We were craving for something sweet after dinner and came in for dessert only, and it was a little disappointing: the bread pudding with vanilla ice cream and a latte. The bread pudding had an over powering flavor that it just didn't sit right. The service was excellent, and ambiance was calm and plenty seating (maybe because it was a Sunday afternoon?).

I was honestly surprised to really like this place considering the decor and vibe in general was lackluster. Eggplant Parmesan - So incredibly crispy! The marinara was flavorful and the cheese was cheesing! Good sauce to eggplant ratio too. Marmalade Rosemary Gimlet - Light and refreshing! Split Pea Soul - Loved how it was actually puréed. Seasoned well and ate light but filling and nourishing. This place is a good option for a quick casual table service restaurant at The Grove. The prices were pretty reasonable as well and the service was quick.

Forgot to take photos of my food, but it was pretty decent! I ordered the chilaquiles and the passion fruit mimosa pitcher, both were pretty good. Nothing special though. There's plenty of seating, but reservation is recommended on weekends.

Fabulous Restaurant with Fantastic Service! 4 of us had dinner here last night (Saturday 2/17) and it was DELICIOUS! The server we had was awesome, sorry not just awesome but AWESOME! His name is Jason, super nice gentleman and ALWAYS Johnny on the spot with anything needed or if you had any questions. Very personable and helpful on explaining the many choices on the menu. I will ask for him the next time we are in and you should as well! The ambiance is very inviting and comfortable to sit for hours enjoying talk and delicious food. Let's talk about food. Table appetizers were: Calamari-perfectly crunchy outside, tinder inside and perfectly seasoned (Delicious!) Tuna Tartar-fresh cut of ahi tuna in a delicious seasoned light soy sauce. (Delicious!) Mom had the crab cakes special and loved it! Fresh crab inside of a wonderfully spiced crab cake! She loved them! Lovely daughter had the French Onion Soup for starters and absolutely loved the rich beefy broth loaded with sweet onions! For main course she had the grilled salmon and said it was delicious!! My lovely wife had the tomato soup starter which she said was delicious, she also had the warm salmon Niçoise salad. She loved it. Big tasty grilled fillet of salmon on top of fresh greens and goodies. Delicious she said! I had the fried chicken dinner. This was super yummy! The chicken was juicy and crunchy, perfectly. Liked and accompanied with broccolini and mashed potatoes. For dessert we shared the butter cake which is absolutely out of this world delicious! Yummmmmy! Great restaurant with delicious food and a wonderful wait staff employee Jason. We will be back!!

Came here for brunch with a big group, plenty of seating, They had no problem seating a group of 9 outside. It is shaded with half chairs and half booths. They are known for their eggs benedicts, and I did enjoy mine. We also got a mimosa crafe and several coffees. Everything was pretty standard at typical high LA prices but we didn't wait long at all for our orders. Everyone got the correct meal too, which is usually hard to keep track of with a group this big. So I was impressed with the service for 11 on 4th of July. One thing to note - they validate for farmers market market NOT THE GARAGE. So I did have to pay $15 to park. But to be able to visit the Grove after was nice. Honestly great place to meet up with a group and shop or see a movie after.

Disappointed that the breakfast menus literally say Mimosas and Bloody Mary's yet they don't serve before 11:00 am. What's the point in adding it to the brunch menus just to annoy us? Seems like you're loosing money by not serving before 11:00. Last time I come here for brunch. The food is marginal at best I've been coming here for years and it's really deteriorated, idk if it's location or company wide but I'll pass on stopping here again.

We came here for a late Sat night dinner after watching a movie. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and although 30 minutes before closing time we were seated. Our waitress came to take our order and tried her best to service our table while working a large party seated next to us. Plus the fact that it was almost closing time, I'm sure there were other things that had to be done. Our food came out and everything appeared to look amazing but in actuality the taste of the food was below average. I had the turkey burger and it had zero flavor and was extremely gamey. Chef, put some seasoning on the burger, it's not that hard. I didn't want to complain because it was almost closing time but I took 2 bites and didn't eat the rest, just bad. I only had the sweet potatoes fries and soup I ordered. My wife had the roasted chicken and she didn't like it either. I will close by saying this, Management you need to hire Chefs and Cooks that care about what food is being served to paying clientele. Not only should it look good but it should taste good as well. Believe it or not, there are some of us with exceptional palates that k is ghetto difference! So your restaurant gets 3 thumbs down!!

Went to grab a quick dinner with 2 other friends here last night and Steven was such a great server! Just very sweet. We had all had a fairly long day and went to the Grove to eat and Steven made our day :) And honestly the food was also so good, as usual (tried the butter cake for the first time and it was amazing)! Our experience yesterday was just worth writing about because the service was noticeably great and you can tell that's just how Steven is on a regular basis! Didn't feel forced, just a sweet nice person and we had a great time.

Small cafe on Montana Ave, cozy interior, lots of options for salads and cookies. Parking is relatively easy with a dedicated parking lot behind the restaurant. Menu items are all standard breakfast/brunch items, I got the seasonal turkey chili and a couscous salad, can't complain about the chili, pretty flavorful and generous chunks of turkey. The couscous salad tasted a bit bland, like something was just missing from it being a more edible dish.

Maybe because it was dinner, maybe it was an off night--either way, the food tonight was quite disappointing... My party and I ordered: 1. Artichoke Dip 2. Beef French Dip 3. Grilled Cheese and Tomato Bisque 4. Chicken Caesar Salad I need to start off by saying that the artichoke dip was ABYSMAL. Like I'm not one to be picky about dips but I kid you not the chip they used tasted like soggy cardboard?? I don't understand why or how, but there were some that were so bad my friend who would usually eat almost anything even had to spit it out. The chip felt like it was at least a week old and was so so stale. So if there's one thing to take away from this review, is to do yourself a favor and not get the dip. For me, the grilled cheese had pretty hard bread and was nothing special. The cheese was neither hot and gooey but more plastic-like than anything. Tomato soup was fine but forgettable. Wouldn't order this one again. As for the french dip, my friend didn't seem to hate it and actually finished it all. The chicken salad was alright as well, but it was probably a bad sign that my friend only ate about 1/4 of the plate. Service itself was actually decent and attentive enough. It did take awhile to get a refill on a water and from the looks of it, the restaurant only had a few tables to be served so it didn't seem like being overwhelmed was the problem. I will say, this restaurant is good for groups who don't want loud music and can be a spot to stay for a few hours. We ended up being one of the last parties to leave before they closed that night, and the ambiance felt welcoming and casual. I'm hoping that tonight was just an off night and not a consistent disappointment as my friend had talked highly before about this place. Maybe I'll find myself stumbling back here one day and having a different experience.

Service was prompt, customer service was great, everyone was friendly. Food was delicious and ambiance was perfect with outside seating enjoyed brunch very much.

We went for a family birthday celebration. Parking was difficult as it was a Sunday, and everybody wanted to be at The Grove. We were a part of 13 people, and we were seated outside. Tables and chairs could use some TLC, but the ambiance was pleasant. I ordered the crab cake hollandaise sauced contraption with the English muffins ( I can't recall name...memory block. Lol) and the avocado toast. My main meal was smaller than expected portions. Crab cake had minimal seasoning. Poached eggs were just okay. Sauce was minimal and disappointing. Avocado toast was lacking in taste as well, and it wasnt.vwry user friendly. It's piled high with lettuces and string beans, and you can't really bite into it. I ended up eating mine like a salad, and I let the bread go. They also messed up on our order four different times. You need tonask for dinner rolls, and those were unimpressive as well. My strawberry lemonade was very syrupy and not what i was expecting. It's allegedly housemade, but it didn't taste fresh. It tasted like syrup and mix. If you work in the back structures, you have to go to Cheesecake Factory to validate your parking. Oh, and bathrooms were nasty. Two out of the three were clogged with human waste, and the other was occupied for a minute by someone. I won't eat here again.

Had this place with family after walking through the Grove!! We all got lobster tacos and they were to DIE for!! I thought they wouldn't be super filling but they definitely were and they gave you enough lobster in each taco to make it worth the money. The drink I had was good too although I cannot remember what it was (just that it was an agua fresca!)

A cozy cafe with a great drink selection and a welcoming atmosphere. The service, especially from Jason, was so professional, attentive, and friendly. Highly recommended.

One of my favorite sit-downs to visit in LA. You can choose to sit inside our outside, but I always prefer the outdoor dining. Service is always phenomenal, usually there is a wait, but the last time we went we sat as soon as we entered. The decor and restaurant is beautiful and sits towards the back end of the Grove. My pasta carbonara was very creamy and was a decent size! I also had a drink (I cannot recall the name) and it was SO GOOD. It was sweet, but I can taste the alcohol and felt a good buzz afterward. My boyfriend had a burger with sweet potato fries. The fries were sooooo delicious I could not help but grab a few myself. Our server was a young male that checked on us very often and was very kind. He was very busy, but still managed to be polite and level-headed throughout our outdoor dining experience. Thank you guys. Will return!!

My family waited for our food for over an hour and still didn't get all of it after waiting for that long. Families who came in after us were served. I understand it may have been a difficult day, but we were on a scheduled tour bus and didn't have the time to wait and didn't expect to wait for more than an hour.

They charged 3% Credit Card Fee !!! Come On ...... Food and Ambience is good - little overpriced. ..

This was my first time at this café, and it was an all-around great experience. It's an excellent breakfast/brunch spot with generous portions. I had the steak and eggs, while my partner had the salmon lox, and we both cleaned our plates. What truly made this place stand out was the service. Justin took great care of us--attentive without being intrusive. He was courteous throughout, which is something I really value when dining out. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, with a charming aesthetic. Thank you for the five-star experience!

We stopped in after Cheesecake Factory told us it would be a 2 1/2 hour wait. Ricardo was very welcoming and immediately put our group of 9 in a nice back room. We all had food within 30 minutes of arriving, and Ricardo even put together a special dessert for our birthday girl. Great selection of food for everyone to order whatever they want, and the quality was wonderful! Very reasonable prices, and located right near the parking area - so very convenient.

Lovely brunch spot! We tried the waffle with berries and bananas which was tasty and a good portion as well as the grits and eggs. Both were delicious. The restaurant was cute inside and service was quick and everyone was polite and helpful.

The staff here were all very welcoming and polite. From offering their opinions on what are the best plates and stopping by the table frequently to ask how is everything. The restaurant was pretty busy, but for a party of two, we were able to be seated relatively fast. The food was good, but lacked flavor. Most dishes being white washed version of Mexican food. The main downside to this was the cleanliness of the table. There were some sticky spots on the table along with crumbs. The restroom was also pretty dirty. With no toilet paper in the some of the stalls, and very little paper towels.

Marmalade Cafe is located in the Original Farmer's Market steps away from The Grove Shopping Mall. The chain has been in business for over 20 years and they have multiple locations. We came here because they have a wonderful birthday promotion. You get a free entree with a purchase of another entree. We ordered the tuscan white bean and kale soup. It has Kabocha squash in it which is a very healthy vegetable. It is vegan and gluten free. I like the ingredients in here so I was surprised that I was not fond of the soup. The menu advertised this soup as a "hearty" vegetable soup but it had a very delicate, thin broth. I think it would be better if they pureed some of the broth and put it back into the soup to thicken it up. The white beans will definitely add bulk once pureed. However, the other issue I had with the soup is that it was overly salty. I'm not anti-salt. Salt is important for seasoning food but too much salt overpowers the taste of the food. It's a delicate balance. Too much salt is also not healthy and this should be one of the healthier dishes. For the entree we got the eggplant parm and grilled cheese with a tomato inside. They were both okay but I'm not sure we would order them again. Next time I would probably go for the veggie burger here. I think that would be the best vegetarian option to go with at this restaurant. The star of our meal was the chocolate lava cake. It came a la mode and was perfect in every way! It was also large enough to share. The restaurant could use some minor renovations. Service was excellent. Our waiter was really sweet. He brought out an ice cream dish to celebrate the birthday. He also gave us some warm rolls to eat while we were waiting. They validate parking but only for 90 minutes. Our meal was exactly at the 90 minute mark.

Stopped by Marmalade Cafe for lunch. Service was exceptional. The restaurant is clean and beautiful with an Italian vibe. I tried a French Dip sandwich and it was really good. The au jus was not very flavorful, but the rest of the meal was so good.

What a great experience. Like all the time I'm always writing but they told me that only my last review will show. But it's always great here every time. Also please ask for Chandler. She's a great waitress. I recommend this place to everybody all the time because of the food and the service but she is extra extra special. Great food, decent prices and great service. What are you waiting for. Come on down. You'll thank me. P.S. I wish you guys opened one in Las Vegas where we live, It would do great!

Seems Jason is a gem at Marmalade. We were there yesterday and he was amazing as our server. Felt like a 5-star restaurant with impecable service. Food was delicious. Jason helped me chose my entree after our artichoke appetizer. The Pot Roast was wonderful. And he took my suggestion of adding bread for au jus dipping with grace. Someone, Give Jason a raise.

We made reservations but were seated immediately despite the fact that all the Grove and Farmer's Market was very busy. We did have to wait for 8 minutes for the manager to come by to help service us since our waiter was busy according to him. Our regular server was friendly but I think he was talking too much to the other tables which slowed him down, his service, and prompt attention initially. When he eventually did come by, we initially had to ask for things as we noticed other tables got serviced more quickly and promptly than us. When the other two tables he was serving left, his service got faster and quicker. This is the reason why I am giving a rating of 4 stars. We were here to redeem my husband's free entree for his birthday. I got the Shrimp and Lobster Linguine. It was steaming hot and had a lot of pasta. The flavor was well done and it was well seasoned. My husband got the brick chicken. He said he enjoyed it and was delicious. The restaurant was clean and inviting with both an indoor and outdoor seating area. The bathrooms did need a little upkeep when I went in there. All and all we had a good experience. Just some minor adjustments to service and thanks to the manager for stepping in and helping out his staff. It is much appreciated.

Marmalade used to be a solid 4-star fave in my book. Drinks were always great, food was always pretty decent, and if you wanted outdoor seating, they have a fairly extensive patio area. On this visit, we noticed service had really fallen off, and most annoyingly, they added a 3% credit card fee, without letting us know before they ran our cards. That alone caused the loss of a star in my book. (I will say, though, it's still a better choice at The Grove than the Cheesecake Factory, if you are looking for a chain restaurant.)

their website advertises Happy hour. However. The front desk women said they don't have happy hour, so we just went into the groove and took our business where they did have HH.

Great food, friendly and fast service, the waiter recommended a delicious ipa, but I didn't remember which one)) recommended

This is a cute place in the grove that seemed to have an extensive menu with lots of choices. Restaurant wasn't busy so we were seated right away inside, however they do have an outside area as well. We ordered the French dip, Tuna Melt, Artichoke dip and the Cobb salad for our party of 3 to share. Let's talk about eh artichoke dip... GROSS! It tasted like powdered cheese with frozen spinach in it and really didn't have any artichokes. Chips that came with it were also soggy and tasted very old and stale. French Dip- Rubber sandwich with fat all in the meat and dipping sauce cold. I couldn't even chew it without feeling like I might choke. Meat was TERRIBLE and not even the strongest tiger teeth could have broke that down. The fries that came with it... cold Tuna Melt- Left that for my friend to eat all himself because it didn't look appetizing at all and he left most of it uneaten... Cobb Salad- We were hoping it would be the highlight of the meal because it is a huge salad enough for 3 people to share, or 2 really hungry people. NOPE! Pass on this too! They served Italian dressing and put it in the bottom of the salad and not mixed, so you gotta mix it yourself. It was mostly lettuce and chicken. The chicken was pink and disgusting. There were probably 2 small pieces of bacon in it and the blue cheese was barely detectable. Did I mention It was served with Italian dressing?????? Why? The only highlight was our waitress was super sweet and very attentive and should really work at a better restaurant. She could tell we didn't like our food and did ask and wanted to make sure we were okay with it. Due to the fact she was so nice, we didn't say anything just left most of everything not eaten. Food isn't cheap either! Our bill was over $100 bucks without tip which is insane for the quality of food we had. Should have been a red flag that the restaurant was empty. Plenty of places in the grove.... THIS IS NOT THE ONE!

really good food, just not stellar service. we only got a glimpse of the waiter when he took our order, not even to hand us our order. we had to ask to receive the check after someone came by to another table, we were completely ignored up to that point. might be a one time thing but the food made up for it

This place in incredible. The gem being the outdoor seating right in the center of the grove. So much to watch while you eat lunch. The chicken fettuccini was very big and tasty. Could've been more saucy. The crab cakes were epic and even came with a side salad.

Such a cute restaurant located right in front of the farmers market at the grove. We walked in without reservations and was seated immediately. Our server was attentive even when it was starting to get busy towards the end of our lunch. Great food and drinks!

I came here once prior to Covid with my coworkers for brunch and I gotta say the food was great. Fast forward 5 years later, I came today with my wife as I remember the food being really good here and decided why not let's try it out. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip with kettle chips, mushroom soup, and french onion soup. The mushroom soup was probably the only edible thing we ordered. The french onion soup however was terribly salty and full of a vinegary aftertaste almost like I was eating vinegar soup instead of french onion soup. Long story short service was good, food however did not meet my expectations unfortunately. $50.00 dollars for three items down the drain.

Yelp wasn't working for me on Monday for some odd reason but I still came back to place my review because that is how great our server was!! Our server was Jason and you definitely need to request him if he is available! We went on a Monday afternoon for some early dinner and sat on the patio with our dog, normally no one offers some water for the pup and it was nice to have him acknowledged! Aside from that the food was delicious, ordered the Eggplant Parmesan as recommended by our server while we contemplated getting a salad with chicken(our usual safe bet) and the eggplant Parmesan was soooo good! We will be coming back soon and ordering it again!

Tony at the bar makes the most Epic drinks we've ever had! Cheers Happy vacation to us!!!

Wonderful brunch/dinner spot in The Grove! We live right around the corner from here and Marmalade Cafe is always a nice place to meet up with friends and take guests who are visiting and want to see The Grove. Getting a table is usually pretty easy and I've never had to wait more than 20 mins without having a reservation. They also have both inside and outside seating and since the weather is usually nice, I love to site outside. My Fiancé's mom was in town for the weekend and we ended up coming here for lunch two days in a row because she liked it so much! She is also gluten free and Marmalade does an excellent job at noting which items on their menu can be prepared gluten free and they make sure to not cross contaminate in the kitchen. The first day we came I ordered the Huevos Rancheros and the second day we came I got the Grilled Cheese w/ Bacon and Tomato Soup. Both were good, but I thought the Grilled Cheese and Soup was the best. It was a little chilly on the patio so the soup was perfect. The only thing I didn't like about the Huevos Rancheros was that the tortillas were pretty much already soggy by the time they got to me. However, they have lots of menu options ranging from breakfast to brunch to dinner, so there is certainly something for everyone on the menu.

Stopped by on a shopping trip to The Grove and had a great experience. Jason provided awesome service. He answered my questions about drinks and patiently took my order. Checked up on our table without being intrusive. Try the Agua Fresca cocktail if you like coconut!

It's good. Ambiance was good. Had a lettuce wrap turkey burger. It was good. One thing is that they had additional charge to use a credit card. $1.18?? Really, They expect me to pay cash? This is not a small mom and pop that needs to add a credit card fee do they???
