    My Cherie Amour, lovely as a summer day recommended we try MarcusDc so I made reservations expeditiously. It was yet another reason why I trust her discernment because the experience was great. We wanted to try the crab rice but due to our late reservation, they had sold out so we had the black bass instead which was delicious. The Swedish gummy they gave us at the end was almost as sweet as the time we shared at MarcusDC. Thank you all so much. We will definitely be back.

    All of the dishes were quite good - but we really enjoyed the pork belly, sea bass, and duck. The surprise dessert was quite lovely. The staff was super knowledgeable and personable. Thank you so much for helping us celebrate.

    Friday high tea was perfection. Service was 10/10.  The chef not only accommodated at the last minute gluten-free request but made my daughter’s celebration for finishing the 1st grade so special.
