marco's restaurant & lounge

bad service and mediocre food. a group of about 15 people met at marco's for dinner at 7pm and our dinner was not served until 8:30pm. our waitress had large parties both inside and on the outside patio where we were seated. the restaruant seemed to be overwhelmed with business on a tuesdaynightdue to "steak night", a $10 filet dinner promotion. it took forever to get drinks, order appetizers, order meals, get our meals and then to wait for the checks. to add insult to injury the restaurant added a 20% tip to the bill (including a tip on the taxes which i never include). we finally left just after 10pm having eaten mediocre and overpriced food with terrible service. i've eaten at marco's for probably close to 30 years but will not return anytime soon.

legendary tuesday nights. tuesdaynightspecials the best value in indy!

i see a pattern here.. does ownership/mgmt even care? seems to me this place would do something about fixing there bad service and not that good/cold food for the price. hmmm.

we were there lastnightfor over two hours your service/server sucked. food was overpriced and not that good and you didnt even bother to knock any money off. if this continues i don't see this place surviving. def lost about 10 customers last night.

got here at 1830. just got our bread at 7pm. still havent seen our salad or appetizer. need a sense of urgency the service is atrocious its 730 now don't be in a hurry at this place. jesus.

the specials are so good that i have never ordered off the regular menu. the also have anightthat is spifical designed around cost affective great tasting steaks.

bad service and cold food. i visited this restaurant on vacation in indianapolis with friends. the wait time was terribly long and the restaurant was not busy at all. the food came out at a medium temperature and our glasses sat empty most of thenightuntil we were able to flag a waiter down and interrupt his conversation with other waitstaff. i did speak with the owner who i felt thought he was above speaking with me and did not get any resolution on my concerns. we paid for our meal in full, although mostly unedible, and left. i recommend trying mesh on mass avenue instead of this place. we went there the nextnightand had a memorable experience.

my birthday dinner - great time!. 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 bestnightfor a bargain is tuesday night, cheap meat night. but for any othernighti don't mind paying a little more for quality food, great service, 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.

special!. it's all about the tuesdaynight$9.99 filet special! i've gone other nights and ordered other things, but if it weren't for the special this place would tank. overpriced mediocre food isn't the way to go. it was good at best. i'd go back 1000 tuesdays though if the hostess wasn't so vile to some friends of mine. keep your judgement to yourself, they came in to spend a couple hundred dollars, but left after one drink due to her sniping. she's lost them plenty of business, but i don't think she cares. i'd complain to the owner, but i think it's her. oh well, her loss.
