“ Cute place with a warm West Village vibe. Great staff. Had the happy hour (until 6:30) Smashburger, truly delicious and with wonderful french fries. Cocktails were delicious and loved the peach fritters for dessert. Left feeling full and happy. ”
“ It was a beautiful Sunday evening in New York City, and the sun was setting. We made our way through the busy streets on our way to Marian's. It was Mother's Day, and I had promised my family an evening of good food at a quaint local restaurant. After scouring reviews online, I came across Marian's tucked away in Greenwich Village. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive, so I booked our reservation right away. When we arrived at Marian's that night, it felt like we had been transported back in time to a place from long ago. The decor was simply stunning, with large floral wallpaper adorning the walls, while wood trim added charm throughout the space. Even the bar area looked sexy and a great place to just come for cocktails! Adding to this ambiance was some wonderful music playing from speakers placed around the room – the playlist was carefully curated for its ability to enhance our dining experience. The service wasn't as attentive as it could have been, but everyone who worked there was incredibly kind and helpful, which more than made up for their lack of punctuality when taking orders or delivering dishes! Speaking of dishes, they were simply delicious thanks to fresh ingredients sourced from local suppliers nearby, truly a mouth-watering meal! We ordered the WARM FOCACCIA with caramelized onion butter. OMG. This was divine. For our main dishes, we ordered the TAGLIATELLE with king crab, Meyer lemon, the MUSHROOM CAVATELLI with hen of the woods, kale, grana Padano, the ROASTED CHICKEN potato purée, little gem lettuce, and the HANGER STEAK with creamed kale, flowering cauliflower. This special, charming, and unique little restaurant should be experienced in the heart of Greenwich Village. All in all, Marian's proved itself to be an excellent choice for an unforgettable Mother's Day dinner with my family – one that will stay with us always! ”
“ Such a nice & inviting place. My kids & I had dinner here & it was quite busy but service was phenomenal. I don’t think I’ve seen my kids eat faster than when they had the house-made focaccia & onion butter. I love scallops and automatically order it if it’s on the menu anywhere. These were so amazingly tasty and cooked perfectly. Loved the different textures on the plate. My daughter had the short rib pasta which was quite good too. Dessert was great, we had the hazelnut tarte, can’t go wrong there if you’re a chocolate lover! & the Apple fritters were okay, nothing too crazy. Ambiance was cozy, candle lit, could be romantic but still casual. Definitely coming back! ”
“ Chef Christian Rowen, an alumnus of Bouley, Le Bernardin, Eleven Madison Park, The Nomad Hotel, and multiple restaurants in France opened Marian’s as a tribute to his grandmother, Marian. Cocktails taste amazing and goes along perfectly with their chips & dips. Excellent hospitality with super comfortable seating in a beautifully designed warm atmosphere is the best way to wind down the day. Their amazing chocolate tart will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth. ”
“ Marian's is the perfect meet up spot for dinner with my friends in the West Village. We love hanging out at the bar. The food is outstanding, and I particularly love the hamachi and burrata. p.s., there's a secret smashburger that's not on the menu, so you have to ask for it... The service is top-notch with attentive and knowledgeable staff, especially Matt and Horacio. The bartenders are skilled and friendly, and the cocktail list is creative and keeps us coming back! ”
“ vibe here is so good!!! was decently quiet, this would be good for a date, business dinner, family, etc (just prob not a great fit if you’re looking for something rowdy) knocked off a star bc i normalize for price & entree portions are pretty small (would prob get some apps w the meal). good wine too (would rec the tuscan blend if looking for a red) ”
“ We had an absolutely perfect lunch here today, loving everything we tasted and aided by superb service by our waiter Jackson. Decor was modern and polished, and the atmosphere was still relaxed and warm to give a perfect neighborhood feel. The only blemish was the aloofness of the young hostess. We had the following three sandwiches and they were just superb: THE EGG SANDO (over easy egg, pimento cheese, mesclun) - just a perfect breakfast sandwich, bolstered with the addition of bacon. SMASHBURGER & FRIES (american cheese, pickles, burger sauce) - we got this with one patty for our daughter and it was just the right balance of meat, cheese, and bread. And oh yeah, the bread for every sandwich was just spectacular. Yay for great bread. HOT SHRIMP ROLL & FRIES (old bay spice aioli, spicy slaw, herbs) - well seasoned shrimp, creamy aioli, and the little bit of heat here made this yummy bite and after yummy bite. Special shout out to Jackson who made modifications for both the drinks and burger for our daughter, and was just super patient and kind. Definitely offset the cold vibes from the hostess, which we didn't take personally, she just clearly didn't want to be there. ”
“ A wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion. We enjoyed a bottle of champagne, delicious focaccia, and splurged on the roast duck. Tagliatelle was pretty good. Didn't love the chocolate tart, but the service and general deliciousness more than compensated. ”
