Marie Louise BistroFood very good; ambiance very niceWe had a theater afterwards, so we kind of rushed ourselves and didn't have an opportunity for a full meal. But what we had was very good to excellent. Service seemed a little off, I think they were busier than they had planned - but the staff was very friendly and helpful when available.
I would definitely recommend it and plan on visiting it again (hopefully when I'm not so rushed).5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMBeautifully prepared food.Fatastic food with a definite French influence. Where else can one order frog legs? Yet many items appealed to my friends withless adventuresome tastes. Everyone in my group wants to return. The only problem is parking, my husband has trouble walking a distance.5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was great, the serviceThe food was great, the service was slow.

Great service this last time and we were seated immediately for a 7 pm dinner.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMMarie Louise Bistro has beenMarie Louise Bistro has been a favorite place to dine because of its pleasant atmosphere and good food for a long time. On our last visit (April 2013) we were pleasantly surprised by its more diverse menu with expanded vegetarian options which would be attractive to vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
Reasonable prices, a pleasant atmosphere and the expanded menu make it an attractive dining destination on Charles Street.
Marie Louise Bistro is also a great place for dessert and coffee later in the evening. Their dessert offerings are dangerously irresistible and the coffee is excellent.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMEnoyed duck breast! ServiceEnoyed duck breast! Service was very good. I'd go back to try other meals.4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMVisited with a large partyVisited with a large party and our server could not have been better. For many it was their first visit and everyone loved it.4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Pre-Meyerhoff ChoiceWe were looking for a light dinner before atending a concert at the Meyerhoff. Our "usual" place had no reservations available, so using the Open Table list of alternatives in the area, I selected Marie Louise Bistro. On street parking was readily available. The staff was very friendly and helpful and we were seated immediately in a more intimate portion of the restaurant, which was very nice. We concentrated on the appetizers on the menu. The steamed clams in garlic was excellent and the broth it was served in was a great accompaniement to the bread served with it. Their French onion soup was the best I've had in a long time. My wife also enjoyed her seared tuna. Their desserts are excellent. We will return soon to try more of their Menu.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWe have been going to MLBWe have been going to MLB for several years. They never disappoint.

The white clam sauce was the best I have ever had and my husband's salmon was equally delicious. Our waitress was perfect and the service overall were great. If you are looking for a more quiet space, ask to be seated in the back.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Food Great ServiceAbsolutely great food and great service. Would recommend it to family and friends, to anyone for that matter.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMA duck delight!Pleasantly surprised to find several duck selections - and I enjoyed one of them immensely. Evidently something they specialize in, but our seafood and other non-duck features were fantastic. But leave room for desserts - one of the most imaginative and well-done dessert trays I've seen in years, and I eat out nearly every day.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMperfect for BSO evening.perfect for BSO evening. food is good and service is good.
