Brian GreerMay 5, 2017The food was subpar as the portion sizes were small for the price we paid. Also because we had a group of 6 the gratuity was included and then the service was subpar as well. Our waiter was rude.- NOM NOM BorisApril 13, 2012You must try most nomnom Chicken Fried Oysters!!! Amazing. More tips & pics @ nomnomboris.com
Monday nights are the best for dancing and minglin'-watch out for the elbow matches
- Danielle RicksSeptember 26, 2010The scallops appetizers are so amazing and don't leave without trying the chicken and waffles!
Come to Marvin on Tuesday nights for Home Base with DJ Daniel Biltmore!
the warm toffee cake with salted caramel ice cream is amazing!
Dave PokrifchakMarch 18, 2015Food was good, overall service was ok. The waitress, Yemi, was lazy and wouldn't split the check, then was pretentious enough to add gratuity for a group of five.
chicken and waffles are excellent. Tues upstairs with Keenan is a lot of fun.
Cami BenedictoFebruary 6, 2011Don't make the mistake of wearing stilettos to the rooftop bar - you'll ruin your shoes when they get stuck between the wooden boards!
Ben TannenbaumApril 22, 2010Try the special (whatever it is)! If the chef considers it a special, you can bet its going to be amazing.
Mondays at Marvin are great. Just know that if it's your first time and you act up, the regulars will put you in check.
Thomas PruittAugust 7, 2012Groovy place for 30-somethings who aren't boring, but it can get wicked crowded.

"Friendly staff and great drinks. Juice boxes are like adult Caprisuns. The fun decor is an urban spin on quirky grandma’s house with florals, pastels, cats, and cozy blankets."
Alex Barz - 9.0
"Excellent menu for happy hour with reduced price sushi items. Sushi items are outstanding and regular menu is worth checking out. Downside: limited to no drink specials"
