    We were a party of six on Mother’s Day, which was an extremely busy day at Marcello’s. The wait for our food was an hour and 20 minutes. However, the server was professional and kept checking in on us, and when it finally arrived, the food was excellent! Portions were generous and very tasty. The only thing we didn’t like was the spaghetti bolognese. The pizza, calzone and cesar salad were very very good. We will definitely return.

    Wow what can I say … This was a most wonderful experience. The one thing that was most impressive was how everyone worked together from bring food , pouring our water, taking away dishes even refolding the napkins when you left for the washroom. like a perfect little Bee Hive working in unison. Super service we loved our server BO she was amazing very engaging and very attentive. Now the drinks we loved the surprise martini the flavours were very bright the smoke was very interesting sadly mostly smell we feel if left over the glass longer it would have soaked into the drink better , but very tasty. we tried the margarita VERY smooth and went down quickly perfect pairing not to sweet not to sour just right as baby bear would say We started with the lobster bisque, we have tried bisque at every restaurant so far . The Dawn's bisque was deeper in colour and had several layers of flavour with a slight heat very yummy, we would for sure do this again large chunks of sweet delicate not over cooked lobster swam in the rich creamy sauce a very soft onion bun was served with the bisque perfect to sop up every last bite. Next we tried the Wagyu tartare with the homemade bread , this was very good creamy with hints of the peppery greens underneath, the yolk and the Parma very classic very yummy. for mains we did the Wagyu burger !!!! best burger so far out of all i have tried , super messy and creamy and my mouth is water just typing about it. we also did the Iberico tomahawk on polenta this was super yummy delicate rich flavour with a great sauce loved loved this . We finished with the chocolate cake with Yuzu jelly!!!!!! this was a feast for the eyes as well as the senses perfect Umami all the way around. We look forward to returning to explore more
