    I love great food, great wine and excellent service. Marche Moderne never disappoints. The owners have maintained their high standards of excellence since they opened their Marche Moderne at South Coast Plaza many years ago. They are now at Newport Coast. Last night my guest and I both enjoyed the 5-course set menu. Each course was beautifully presented with exciting flavors, luxurious textures and complex sauces. In my opinion, the food here is consistently better than many 2 and 3 Micheline Star meals I have experienced.

    All the staff was amazing from the moment we walked in. They made us feel extremely welcome. The service staff was the best ever. Our server(Jeff) suggested amazing items and wine, and everything was even better than described. The support staff were on top of everything. And even our neighboring patrons were very nice! I can't wait to come back!

    We always enjoyed this restaurant for special occasions, been eating here since the South Coast days. Not pleased with the new chef... everything arrived piled in a copper skillet and we had to take it apart on separate plates before eating. The wait from ordering to food arrival was 48 minutes, WAY too long in my estimation. The Sweetbreads were always braised, now they are baked, not my favorite form of preparation. All in all, about a 5 on a scale of 10, where it always had been a solid ten in the past.

    We have dined at Marche for many years and have had wonderful experiences. This past experience left us very disappointed. The food quality was lacking. My entree had sweet potato that was undercooked and the fish special wasn't very flavorful or interesting. The server billed us for an additional drink we didn't order. The service was very slow and no one checked on us throughout the meal. When you pay this much for a special celebration meal it should feel that way. It is doubtful we will return when there are so many other options available.

    We were seated in a room with large parties - essentially the patio. Noise level excruciating - it was like bachelorette parties on stereo. Service was extremely slow. First course of asparagus and asparagus soup was lukewarm-cold.

    Wasn’t really impressed. It’s an attractive setting, but the food was ok, not really interesting or notable at all. One person loved their filet and chocolate soufflé cake, other than the rest of it was just ok. They need to add flavor/interest!

    A fantastic dinner experience. High quality ingredients executed very well. The charcuterie was nicely put together with high quality cured meats. The Bartlett Pear Salad was composed nicely and had great flavor, the only drawback was that the vinaigrette was slightly sweeter, a sharper vinegar would have balanced out soundly. The duck en croute was fantastic, great flavor, pastry was cooked superb. The lamb ribeye was cooked great, however the temp was ordered as medium and came out medium rare; no biggie, flavor was on point and sauce work was amazing, big props to who created the jus and vadouvan sauce. The chocolate dessert was great! Wine selection was also commendable with very nice selection. Our server Alan, was very through and knowledgeable with all items, great attitude and hospitality. We will be back to the best restaurant in OC.

    Third time here but very disappointed. We booked here for our elopment dinner because the last few times the service and food were great. So we made reservations in advance. We wanted the booths for extra privacy so we were waiting outside and was the second party in. The host said the booths were booked and we asked whom I believe was the manager and he said he could not seat us there and sat us at a table right next to the door. We explained it was a special occasion, but the manager said they're all booked. He said he can move us to the table in the middle but it was pretty much the same so we stayed. Our server was fantastic and the food was good. We got two 5 course tasting menu and ordered some sharable plates. Service was great and we liked our server. The food did come slower this time though. But this one star review is for how they handled the seating situation. While we were there and going to the restroom and leaving a booth was empty. Mind you this was Sunday night and the restaurant was half empty. The manager could have asked us to move or moved us anywhere else where was available but he only gave us two options near the door. We saw people walk in after us and they got better seats! They also left the front door open and we had to watch and hear everyone passing by. If you are going to pay this much just go to a michelin star for consistency, you might even save more money.

    Disappointed in the service. And the table. At least forty five minutes between courses and only one check in during the meal to see if anything was needed. The room was cold which forced my daughter to have to stand next to the heat lamp at times which broke down twice and needed propane tanks. When I was contacted a few days before I told the young lady we were celebrating my wife’s birthday AND my new status on finally bring cancer free. Birthday was acknowledged but no mention of my cancer free status that my family was celebrating. Upsetting.

    Our meal was delicious, as always. With all the twists and turns of the past years I find it comforting to know my favorite dishes are being perfectly prepared by Florent and his talented chefs, and graciously delivered by the friendly and knowledgeable serving staff. And the wine choices and crafted cocktails are always a good idea.
