Seafood plays a starring role at the 160-seat restaurant in various combinations. 'I’ve been wanting to open a true southern French restaurant for years,' owner Loic Le Garrec says." - Erika Adams

"Gaslight’s menu is vast and full of the French greatest hits, but the restaurant does fish best. Get the special, whatever it is, or get the pan-roasted cod. Gaslight is currently open for indoor dining, outdoor dining, takeout and delivery through DoorDash, and delivery through Grubhub." - Terrence Doyle

I really enjoy this establishment any time of day. They do a great French inspired brunch (eggs Benny on croissants etc). Their menu is elevated and I find it to be more bang for your buck when compared to similar establishments (sorry mistral :-/). They also have one of the top 3 espresso martinis in Boston. All of the bartenders are excellent but Angelica is my favorite! Always smiling :) Oh and the pate de Saumon en croute is out of this world. It is essentially a salmon Wellington served on a bed of lobster butter. Phenomenal (see photo)

Laid-back bistro that specializes in Southern French cuisine. Recently came across their 1-year anniversary menu and decided to try it out for Sunday dinner. Although I love French restaurants, the restaurant’s low ratings have always stopped me from giving them a try. It appeared that most of their bad reputation was related to service issues. However, everything seemed fine during our visit for an early Sunday dinner. As the name suggests, Chef Fathman draws inspiration from Marseille, a Southern port city that serves as a culinary crossroads of several Mediterranean countries. Consequently, the menu at this restaurant offers a somewhat unique twist, as it distinguishes from the typical French bistro fare found at PRB’s two other restaurants. In addition to trying the anniversary menu, we chose two of our staple starters at French restaurants: Liver Mousse and Beef Tartare. The tartare was solid, but the mousse didn't hit the mark. It was thicker than I usually prefer, and the accompanying crostini was overly seasoned, which overwhelmed the mousse rather than complementing it. Fortunately, the other two appetizers from the course menu were excellent. Both were fried yet lightly seasoned, allowing the flavors to shine through. They came with Espelette Aioli, which added a briny and subtly spicy kick that really enhanced the overall taste of the dishes. For our entrées, we chose the Trout Almandine and the Poulet Rotisserie. Although neither dish was particularly outstanding, the chicken was enjoyable as it was very juicy and tender. The trout, on the other hand, was slightly overcooked, but this was somewhat mitigated by a generous coating of melted brown butter that added a richer flavor. The finale of our meal were a Marseille Profiterole and Vanilla Bean Crème Brulée. As expected from a restaurant group that also owns PRB Boulangerie, both desserts were exceptional. The Crème Brulée was creamy with an exquisitely light consistency that melted delightfully on the palate, and the Profiterole was also excellent. Overall, Marseille provided a better experience than we initially anticipated. While it might not serve the best French/Mediterranean food in the city, it still offers a pleasant and relaxing dining atmosphere. Given that the anniversary deal is only available until the end of this month, I recommend visiting soon to take advantage of this offer.

I recently dined at Marseille restaurant in Boston, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely divine, with every dish bursting with authentic French flavors. The drinks were equally impressive, perfectly complementing the meal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, offering the perfect balance of elegance and comfort. The staff was attentive and made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience, and I will definitely be coming back soon! From: Michele and Karen ❤️

My husband and I go to Marseille quite often and the restaurant is usually quiet. It's surprising because it's one of our favorite places in Boston. The place looks amazing inside and they play French music which really sets the mood. They serve some really good French food. I can't get enough of the onion soup - it's just perfect. Every time we're there, it's a wonderful experience. The staff are super friendly and it's nice and serene. The music, the look of the place, and the awesome dishes all make it special. We're always wondering why it's not packed with people! We absolutely love it and think everyone should check it out.

This place is a quaint restaurant that has excellent food and nice dinner vibes. The staff were friendly, although sometimes they got very busy with other things and we had long periods of not being checked up on but that's okay. The food was absolutely delicious! Their drinks are well made and tasty. The roasted chicken and the steak were amazing here. Very good. The only hiccup is the berry clafouti had a metallic taste/ maybe had bad oil used to season the pan... was an amazing meal otherwise though. Definitely a nice place to have a tasty meal with your date.

Delicious Brunch! Quiche special with leeks and mushrooms was savory with perfect texture and just the right crunch for the crust. Shakshouka with lamb sausage had a zesty tomato and lamb flavor. Dishes were sumptuous and filling. Staff was attentive and helpful. The decor maintains the welcoming atmosphere of a French brasserie.

Eat for your own risk💀💀💀 Gross and disappointing food Table was dirty when we sit down. Our waiter bought our drink 20 minutes after we ordered it, what a surprise, when we were the only table in the restaurant. Food sucks here, everything either raw or overcooked. The bread harder than STONE the steak, which I asked medium, is like well done, and my friend octopus is all burnt outside. I never leave tip less than 20%, if the food and services are good, I tip decent. If not, I will do my best not to show up at your restaurant

I came here for Boston Restaurant Week and thoroughly enjoyed my experience! The salt cod croquettes, steak frites, and Paris brest were delicious. The Chardonnay was refreshing. Service was exceptionally friendly and we enjoyed great conversation with our server and other staff. Everything from the butter to the steak to the Chartreuse was authentic. I am looking forward to coming here again when the outdoor seating returns!
