An anchor of Central Park and New York City icon, Marea attracts those who don't chase luxury, but who live it-by elevating life's moments, indulging their senses, and celebrating every day with the best food, service, and surroundings in the world.
I was celebrating my kids first trip in New York and after two days of cramming tourist attractions and activities all day we needed to unwind and relax while enjoying a delicious meal that warmed the heart... though it’s a fancy restaurant and very upscale I can say my kids and my husband and I enjoyed the best spaghetti with butter we had in our lives... the rest of the more intricate food items like the lobster risotto the steak the halibut the burrata lobster were divine. Definitly if your kids are not too loud ( my son Definitly was so i gave him my phone to keep entertained) it’s a definit must go restaurant for food, comfort, and that finesse touche.
Terrific food and great service
Marea has exceptional food, wine & service - always a perfect experience!
The food was wonderful and the atmosphere was perfect for indulging
We went to this fabulous restaurant over the holidays, had a delicious dinner and could not wait to return when back in a Manhattan from South Carolina. This time I booked an afternoon Valentine meal as we had concert plans for the evening. We chose the five course tasting menu and had one of the best experiences ever! We thoroughly enjoyed each dish, mostly consisting of exquisite seafood and specialty pasta, paired with some fabulous wines. My partner stayed with the white wine accompaniments while I enjoyed the lighter reds that were selected. Service was outstanding, and there was still an air of romance at the corner booth despite it being 230 in the afternoon! Marea will be on our calendar every time we visit the Big Apple!
Marea made my husband's birthday very special, giving us a wonderful seat and bringing a festive dessert, on top of the amazing food!
Valentines
The food was superior. The service was superior. The staff was efficient and appropriately friendly. The best meal during our trip to NYC.
Perfect spot for our birthday celebration!!!
Marea never disappoints, it was amazing as always. Michael provided excellent service.
We go every year for dinner on our anniversary and few times during the rest of the year for a special occasion. Never fails to exceed our expectations!! We love this restaurant!!!
It's one of our favorite places in New York. Food ,Service, location, ambiance is always excellent
Marea Continue to provide a restaurant with pleasant ambience relaxing atmosphere excellent cuisine and attentive but obsequious service.
The food is outstanding at this restaurant. The service is top notch also
One of the top restaurants in the city. My wife and I were saying afterward that it was literally one of the best meals we have ever had. Amazing restaurant start to finish.
Food was amazing. Servers changed often and didn’t inform us. Nobody offered another glass of wine until ours had been empty for over ten minutes. Seemed like our table was forgettable. Probably won’t return.
Nice service and nice atmosphere. However the meals are way overpriced for the taste and the expected dinning experience.
Food was salty and service was both slow and inattentive. It took 2 hours for 2 courses. After each course was served our waiter never came to check if things were ok. Whenever we needed something we had to flag down another staff member. Won't re-visit
Fabulous food and wine
We had the tasting menu with wine pairing for lunch. A slight snafu with a substitution for one course (which was happily allowed by the restaurant, thank you very much!) resulted in me having two main courses. Everything was excellent and the wine pairings were perfect. Our server, Juliana, was truly delightful. Our server from our last visit also came by to say hello.
In my opinion this is one of the best dining experiences in the city.
The food was so good. 3 of us all ordered different food, and we all loved it.
Been to Marea half a dozen times. Disappointed this visit by the inattentive service and food not up to prior visits
Food was spectacular. Service was good but a little below par of what I was expecting
My favorite in Nyc!😍
Beyond perfection as usual. Five stars.
Non ho trovato nulla di eccezionale
Excellent my client loved it
Great server name Jose Luis.. Very knowledgeable about the menu...I love the BOMBOLINE.. Best one I ever had!
My wife and I ordered a pasta Conghili dish. It was fantastic! Had a great time at Marea. Will be back on our next visit to New York.
We had the four-course menu and were really satisfied and impressed by each of them. Ingredients were fresh and pasta was just the right consistency. We got three desserts and the coconut rice pudding was an obvious winner. Thanks Marea for such a great dining experience again!
Everything we are was delicious. Had the four course tasting menu. My wide and I shared multiple dishes. They knew we were sharing so they split everything without us asking. I thought that was amazing. The streak tartar was probably the best either of us have ever tasted. The pasta with the shrimp and chili, delicious. Scallops were perfection. Pasta with octopus was yummy. The lobster burrata was so good that we asked for extra bread to scoop the cheese from the bottom of the plate. The service was amazing, refilling everything as soon as possible. Loved it.
Excellent as usual. We’ve usually been here for dinner but lunch has been amazing also.
Good seafood!
Exceptional service and food. Will be returning on our next trip to New York!
Highly recommend Marea! From start to finish outstanding experience; food, service, ambiance.
Fantastic New Year’s Eve lunch. Food was fantastic and the service was excellent. $67 lunch is a good value.
The food is really good, but the service is outstanding
Excelent food and perfect Service 👏👏😍
The food was generally excellent. My cervo was tasteless.
Expected to love this restaurant. Brother and his family dined here same time last year and said it was very good. 1 Michelin Star. Opted to order a la carte rather than choosing the prix fixe menu, party of 4, each of us chose 3 courses. First courses, 3 crudos and 1 oyster, all were all very good. Second course, pasta with king crab was delicious. Grilled octopus was fine. Two orders of "Astice" - lobster with burrata, basil, and eggplant had absolutely no flavor and was one of the most disappointing dishes I've ever had in a restaurant. Mains were 2 Halibut, 1 - 50 day aged sirloin, and the scallops. The steak had decent flavor, but my guest said it was cooked beyond the temperature he had requested. The Halibut was fine, and had a nice brown sear. The scallops were AWFUL. No sear, no flavor, a little too rare. 3 pieces come with the order. After eating the first one, I offered two of my guests a piece of the second scallop and asked for their opinion - mine was that it was reminiscent of eating warm pork fat. They agreed.
I left the third scaallop on the plate. All of the items that accompanied each main were unmemorable. We had a nice conversation with our waiter early on - but he disappeared somewhere towards the end of the meal and was replaced with someone else. NO ONE ever asked how dinner was. If this were any restaurant anywhere, it might be okay at best; this being a Michelin Star establishemnt, it all fell very short.
