marco's restaurant & lounge

agreatpatio for outside dining! can't beat tuesday's for "cheap meat". also some of the best drinks in town.

where to begin. interesting old standard of a dated(70s?) italian restaurant. does agreatlunch bussiness. nights are an amalgam of old folks,couples on the down low looking to escape prying eyes and aging alternative lifestyle practitioners. the more progressive of the crowd will end the evening at the red key. food is not why you come here. it's a step back in time when things were simple and the term eatery had not yet been uttered. try it.

lovely! it's packed on tuesday for the filet minion special, but still quite romantic. has agreatbeer and wine selection.

great place to take a date. we went during the week. we had no wait what so ever, and were immediately greeted and sat outside (preference). they had a lovely shaded area outside, where a live duet played. they're music was great, and sounded of cd quality (if you couldnt see them, you would have thought it was a cd playing). they play requests, and its a gentleman on a piano, and lady singing. food was awesome! verygreatcalamari and chicken parmigiana. they have a a soup and salad that come with the meal, as well as bread, to make this complete. the staff was excellent, and very pleasant. i am a talker, and ended up speaking with the owner, as well as 3 other waiters/waitresses on different topics. very pleasant staff. i will be taking my girlfriend here again for sure! (and we drove 45 minutes to get this meal). highly recommend!

great lunch special. had lunch special of cajun black bean soup and grilled chicken caesar salad for $6.95. soup was tasty and conservatively spiced. salad had perfect amount of excellent caesar dressing, ample portion of chicken, and was a huge portion for the price. best feature of the salad was the fresh shaved parmagean on top (there had to be a 1/2 cup of it). service was quick and i was glad i got there at 11am because they definitely have a busy thursday lunch crowd. i will be back for their lunches. i will recommend to anyone asking forgreatlunch spot.

love it!. we had agreattime and wonderful food at marcos!

just so much fun!!!. alwaysgreatfood, attentive staff, casual atmosphere, and the patio is just our favorite place to have dinner during those wonderful indiana summer nights. fun fun place to see and be seen!

the specials are so good that i have never ordered off the regular menu. the also have a night that is spifical designed around cost affectivegreattasting steaks.

i failed to see the rave reviews.... i was visiting my cousins with my boyfriend in the city. they had wanted steak for dinner, so i used the below reviews and suggested marco's. what a disappointment.

the inside smelled like an old, musty bowling alley, so we opted for dining al fresco.

we also were seated by the dour, nasty hostess. what an asset she is! our waitress was very friendly and gavegreatservice.

everyone expect me ordered steaks. no one was pleased with them, but only my cousin asked that his be taken back because there were so many tendons throughout the entire steak that he struggled to just cut into it with the knife. my boyfriend's steak was ordered medium, but was served medium rare and wasn't tender, either.

the "greek" salad two of us ordered was dressing in italian, not greek salad dressing, which our server failed to announce, which wasn't horrible, but she should warn people when "greek" salads are ordered.

the check, considering the quality and the atmosphere, was very overpriced. i cannot fathom the rave reviews of this place when so many areas were poor or lacking. will never return.

my birthday dinner -greattime!. some good friends of mine wanted to celebrate my birthday by going out to eat at an indy restaurant. the place was my choice. i didn't hesitate: marco's!

i've eaten at marco's more than any other restaurant except, perhaps, bazbeaux pizza downtown.

the food was delicious...everyone enjoyed their meals except one person who ordered a fish special.

i especially enjoy marco's steaks, cooked to perfection. most of the main dishes come with soup, salad, bread, and the main dish. (so be careful and don't overdo it on the bread.)

our server was very personable and provided excellent service despite having to make several drink runs. fortunately i've never been served by the nasty hostess that several reviewers on various websites mention. =)

it's true that the best night for a bargain is tuesday night, cheap meat night. but for any other night i don't mind paying a little more for quality food,greatservice, and a good time.

i should add that i always ask for the lounge. one time we had to eat in the dining room and it wasn't nearly as much fun.
