Prompt and courteous service, lovely ambience, we loved short ribs and fries (steak wasn’t available), duck liver mousse, tuna tartare and rhubarb tart. It was noisier on one side due table proximity but we still managed to have a conversation among our 2 couples. Marseille remains a tried and true choice for a pre-theater dinner.
