Reviews for Restaurant Marché in Bainbridge Island, WA
Probably one of the worst and overpriced meals I've had in Kitsap County. My party of 3 only liked the pea flan. Everything else... was utterly disappointing and we didn't finish any of the dishes. The French onion soup was especially bad and tasted like itwas made by someone who had never had it before. The other thing we didn't care for was being charged a "dine-in" service chargewhich was basically a forced tip with only a portion of it going to the staff. I would've happily tipped our server 20% becauseshe was the only redeeming factor to this place, but I hate when restaurants charge these extra fees without advising customers.It's just shady and deceptive. Our bill was over $200 with no drinks and no dessert. Read more
If you?re looking for traditional French food, this isn?t the place. Like another review said, there is actually more American... dishes than French ones. But! The mussels were really good though. (Et si vous êtes bretons, les moules frites, ça nousconnaît. Celles ci étaient délicieuses. La sauce était parfaite.) The crème brûlée was meh. Cracked well on top butthat?s the only good thing about it. Service was good, waiter was great. It?s a nice restaurant. Read more
We have been wanting to try this restaurant for quite sometime now. The ambience is nice and the service was great too. The... taste of the food fell a bit short. We got the bread rolls (which tasted great), green pea flan, tuna tartare, pasta of the dayand the lamb chops. The lamb chops were a bit too salty and the staff was nice enough to get us another plate. Unfortunately,the second one was a bit too rare for us. The warm date cake was pretty good - the orange sorbet that comes along with it isdelicious. Read more
Fabulous food and fantastic drinks, worth the ferry ride. Cabernet-Braised Skagit River Ranch Short Rib (took a bite from... friend's plate) = delicious and ridiculously big which was great, the meat was tender and melted in your mouth. Pleasant ViewDuck Breast= cooked nicely, although I prefer mine a little bit on the rare side, the skin cooked just right. Seafood Stew (onlytasted the broth as portion just enough for friends) = very healthy, the broth smells like the sea. The drink Vesper, almost onpar with Ramsey's in New York. We also had the Tarte Flambé, Chicken Liver Pâté and Shrimp & Avocado, all very delicious. Wethen had the mini-trio for dessert to complete a nice girls night out dinner. Service was superb, although they had to turn offthe AC to accomedate another table of customers' request while we were sweating quite a bit. Granted they did turn it back on afew minutes after i asked them to when my friend and I were sweating like there no tomorrow. But then they turned it off againfor the rest of our staying. Unfortunately, we can't take any more layers off while the other table could just put their jacketon? The hostess did bring me a pamphlet so I can fan off the heat myself. ???? Read more
As expected of the restaurant with the highest stars in this island! (as of summer 2019) This is a restaurant with concept -... with the determination to become a real "restaurant," whereby customers come in hungry & tired, and leave feelingrestored/nourished. The food is great and the restaurant's design is very pleasing to the eyes. If you have time, read therestaurant owner's reflection writing placed next to the restroom (also included in this post). It's impressively well-written.Reading this will make you appreciate your experience in the restaurant much more. My only complaint/warning would be that youshould only enter this place if you have plenty of time. The restaurant don't have many staffs during lunch. It can't behelped, I guess, that the service is slow. Read more
Everything was outstanding! From the service to Chef Atkinson to the food itself. Everything was perfectly seasoned, the portion... sizes were great, and the food was priced well for what it was. All in all, really great night out! Read more
Very friendly staff and welcoming decor. We stopped by for a weekday lunch and had mussels and fries and vegetables cooked in 5... ways. The fries were excellent with the seasoned mayonnaise on the side. Everything was delicious. Bravo! Read more
We?ve been dining here for many years and still love it after a three year absence. Chef Greg and Betsey do an amazing job... turning out excellent food and warm, friendly service. We ate here twice during our most recent stay on Bainbridge. First nightwe sat at the bar - they were at full capacity - and had a great meal of seared fresh wild salmon and mussels & frites. Ourserver was warm and wonderful and we had a great chat with Betsey about their creative cocktail program. Chef?s house made rollswith cultured butter is a must have here! They are warm and crusty and perfect. Everything he makes is great. There are no badchoices. So happy to see it thriving in this challenging time for the hospitality industry. Marche is a gem worth seeking out. Read more
