    We love seafood and were pleasantly surprised by the originality of flavors. The food was unpretentious yet still sophisticated. Standouts were the raw tuna, the sourdough with anchovies, and the “Caesar” salad. Everything was delicious and fresh. The staff was exceptional, and the atmosphere was very comfortable.

    Reasonably priced, comfortable seating. The entire staff were very friendly & helpful. Food was fresh & menu varied & interesting. The foccacia & oil at the table was delicious & a step above plain bread & butter! Not sure if you had an elevator, but my 86 year old aunt had to climb 2 flights of stairs to the restroom, ouch. Ambient noise level not too bad considering the very high ceilings. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all. I was very pleased to see a mixture of families & same sex couples plus a diner with a service dog. Very welcoming atmosphere. Thank you 😃

    The chicken pot pies that two of us had and the trout which I had were excellent, well prepared and well worth the modest charge. The chocolate mint ice cream was excellent and a nice finish to the dinner. We will return to Marathon again soon.

    I went for lunch on a Friday with my friend. I made a reservation, but we didn’t need one, since the restaurant was not busy at all. It was very quiet and empty. The food and cocktails were delicious! We tried the OMG Roll, Black Pearl Roll, and the Naruto Roll. We didn’t like the Naruto Roll, since it had no rice and little flavor, but the other two rolls were excellent. We especially enjoyed the OMG roll. The lycheetini was really special, too. Definitely worth visiting! The service was really great, too. Very attentive.
