Words cannot describe – I've been to a lot of great restaurants, but this is by far the best meal I've ever had. Everyone in my party was blown away. Upon asking one, who frequents Europe and lives for Michelin starred restaurants, how this compared to his most recent experiences, he replied "This just blows them out of the water". The service was casual and friendly, the atmosphere intimate, and the food outstanding. We went for dinner, prepared to open one bottle of wine (out of 3 options we brought), and have a quick meal... read more
Citysearch Editorial Review – Evidently, the new (as of fall 2009) owners are in love with foam. They’re also quite taken with the notion of skimpy entrees that emphasize aesthetic artistry over robust saveur. But so it is at this yet-again reinvented contemporary fine dining BYOB: foam as the curiously passé spotlight of almost every dish, three vertical parsnips and a dime-sized dollop of pudding as an entrée, a literal “dot” of saffron sauce as the period on a minimalistic anchovy appetizer. If nothing else, the warmth of... read more
Terrific new fall menu – The editor's review predates current chef Erin O'Shea. When O'Shea took over in Jan. 2008, the change in focus to an all-Southern menu didn't excite me and I had not been back this year. That approach has been softened recently and the menu this summer, and now this fall, is Southern-influenced (she still puts bits of tasty ham in a number of dishes) but it is not overwhelming. Call it creative cuisine with a Southern flavor. We had butternut squash soup with a vanilla-poached fig in it and mussels w... read more
Great food – I went here for the first time in the spring and have been back twice because I liked it so much. The food is unique and delicious. In the spring I especially like their vidalia onion soup and the halibut. I love that they change their menu seasonally so you can be sure that you're getting the freshest produce. The only con is that the seating is really cramped, particularly for parties of two. You feel like you're having dinner with the people next to you. Other than that I definitely recommend it!
Good time at This Old House – We visited Saturday evening and had a very satisfying meal. We were seated in a second floor room, which lent intimacy to our meal, although the more raucous first floor had its proponents, too. Two of us had the featured appetizer of cornbread, greens and a sunnyside egg, and we loved it. The ladies opted for the butter lettuce and found the dressing a bit overwhelming. Main course the ladies chose the scallops and mussels, cleverly paired with pearl tapioca. Scallops were done to perfection an... read more
Phenomenal BYO! – I'm shocked by the negative reviews as I've had nothing but excellent service at Marigold over the last year. The staff is always extremely attentive and friendly. We are always seated promptly and attended to accordingly. I enjoy the originality of the menu very much and often try new dishes with increasing delight. The sweetbreads wrapped in crispy chicken remain a favorite although the soups are always innovative and delicious. I've recently learned the restaurant has welcomed a new chef and I look forwa... read more
Highly Overrated – Ever since I moved to Philly I have wanted to go to Marigold, but the place was so popular that it took me 2 years to get a Friday night reservation. I was looking forward to the eclectic yet innovative cuisine I have been reading so much about. I have to say that the place is really disappointing. It is situated in the heart of southwest Philly in an unassuming house in a residential neighborhood. I understand that its lack of decor is supposed to draw our attention to the food, yet the cuisine is nothing... read more
Worst BYOB in Phildelphia – Hands down the worst BYOB that I have ever been to. I had my husband's birthday dinner at Marigold Kitchen. The service was slow..... not only did it take us 4 hours to get a 4 course meal but they got most of our orders wrong. The restaurant is basically in an old house with no renovations or decorations to mention. They sat us in an old bedroom in the upper section of the restaurant.The portions were extremely small and inedible, not to mention extremely pricey. I was embarassed that I invited o... read more
Perfect Food. Snotty Staff. – I have visited Marigold Kitchen twice in the past year and a half, and have had the same experince both times. The food is incredible. I enjoyed a delcious quail entree that I still rave about to friends. The last time I visited, I had a chicken and crawfish dish that was to die for. However, the food is sadly overshadowed by an incredibly snotty, unattentive service staff. The first time, the waiter actually rolled his eyes at my table of 6 friends (all of whom are also in the service industry)... read more
