I went there with four friends of mine for a Saturday dinner. We had a nice table at the back of the restaurant by the window. Our server was attentive and kind. The drinks were good. The menu doesn't have lots of vegetarian options. One of the options was the risotto and I ordered it. It wasn't good, it didn't taste anything like a risotto. I also tried the beet salad with quinoa from appetizers, it was okay but nothing special. On the other hand my friend seemed to be happy with her huge bowl of mussels. The shareable white fish appetizer is a type of pâté that comes with four slices of grilled greasy baguette, which wasn't bad at all. I really enjoyed the brandy apple tart from the desserts, comes with juicy compoted apple slices and creme fraiche on the side; it was simply delicious. My favourite cocktail was the rye-based one mixed with some benedictine and vermouth and bitters, served up (last one on the list).
People have been telling me about this place since I came to the neighborhood. Happy to have been invited to a dinner with friends here. The place is quite a bit bigger than I had originally thought. I had the roasted chicken and it was really good. Also fried green tomatoes!!
I walked in one night for dinner and was greeted by Ginuine playing in the background. Good. Musiq and Erykah Badu playing after: even better. The restaurant was dim and romantic which makes it a perfect first date spot if you're into southern food with a flare.
My date and I started off with the watermelon salad. I must admit, it definitely has an acquired taste. We thoroughly enjoyed it, though. I recommend it, only if you're feeling daring.
I ordered the blue crab spaghetti on a whim. I don't EVER order crab, hell, I thought I didn't even like crab meat. The blue crab spaghetti was superb. I almost scraped my plate. I learned on that night that I like crab meat. My date ordered the rib & tail, which was basically a generous cut of wonderfully seasoned steak with an oxtail sauce that was surprisingly really good, considering I'm one of those boring people who can't enjoy something that might be good, just because of where it comes from or what it actually is.
I will most definitely be back, but for brunch next time.
Fantastic spot tucked away on a residential st in Clinton Hill. Both the Crab Spaghetti and fried chicken were excellent. Portions were decent no complaints. Service was prompt.
You know what… I have to say that BRUNCH was delicious today….. Fried green tomatoes were awesome with that special hot sauce….
Folks, the FRIED CHICKEN is the God's honest truth!…. it was soooooooo good…. and the serving was everything-3 pieces of chicken… loved it!
That French Toast with blueberries was a knock out… this is a definite spot that I will return to…
The only thing that was kinda off putting… was that the resto was not crowded at all and we waited over 40 minutes for a table… after like 25 minutes there were one tthree empty tables… I literally had to approach the hostess who then sat us down immediately….
The staff was very friendly and the tunes were on point… with a very mixed crowd…
I have tried the other two sister restaurants… Peaches and Peaches Hot House… If I were to rate the three sister restaurants with 1 being the best…. it would go in this order…
1. Marietta (the fried chicken here is waaaaay better than Peaches Hot House)
2. Peaches (it was tough to put it at 2… might be a tie w/ Marrieta but they don't have fried chicken.. lol lol)
3. Peaches Hot House ( low budget compared to the above… sorry to put it that way)
I'm not sure there is any better way to start the work week than with some scrumptious fried chicken for lunch. Tell me I'm wrong…
Today, a friend and I, wandered over to Marietta for our mid-day meal to find a near empty restaurant and our choice of tables. Our waiter was quiet but provided good service and lunch made its way to our tables quickly. Each plate was piled high with greens (in a light vinaigrette) and a larger than expected chicken sandwich… But I found myself a tiny bit disappointed in that sandwich. It was good, don't get me wrong, but I feel like it needed a little extra something. So for now I'm handing out three stars. Let me explain…
I ordered the 'Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich' ($10) w/ Swiss (+1) (also comes w/ lettuce, tomato and onion). The chicken was great. Super juicy thigh piece with sooo much crunch. Guessing its rolled in panko before its fried – the crunch is crazy. And then to balance all that crunch is the softest toasted roll everrrr.
However… if there was any spice in this 'spicy' sandwich than sadly it was lost on me. And I didn't love Marietta's 'Comeback Sauce' which is served w/ all their sandwiches. We asked what was in it and were told a combination of mayo, fish sauce & anchovies sauce and that 'it goes great with the chicken'. For me – it did not go well at all. Fishy sauce w/ fried chicken? What? No. It was good for us that it came on the side and not automatically on the sandwich. I'd rather have a dash of hot sauce or dijon… but we didn't ask if either was available, maybe next time.
And I'm pretty sure there will be a next time. This gal needs the occasional fried chicken sandwich and despite that fishy sauce Marietta is a great option in Clinton Hill.
Solid neighborhood restaurant that does a very nice job on food execution. I also really like the creative cocktails and the price point overall is very reasonable.
I have eaten here several times and have always had a nice time. I recommend the fried chicken, the crispy skin salmon, and the burrata. I found the black rick surf & turf to be a bit too salty.
Like the other restaurants in this restaurant group, Marietta is a real crowd pleaser, and I highly recommend it for group dinners, first dates, etc. It works well for all occasions.
I just moved to the surrounding area and was on a hunt for great places since it was finally my day off. I searched on yelp for great bars and winded up at this place.I was excited to see this place pop up as i've visited their sister restaurants: both, the Smoke Joint and Peaches. I was wow-ed instantly!
The host was friendly and very presentable. The place is soooo huge, it was very shocking. It looked like there were two dining rooms ( i drank a lot of that ridiculously good sauv blanc and that mightve altered my vision and forced me to see double).
The bartender linette was just totally dope! She was attentive, friendly and very welcoming with her personality and presence. I had a huge appetite and was ready for anything to come my way. I still cant get that appetizer off my mind – it was a broccoli/shrimp dish that was to die for. Like – omg….I could eat that every day! For an entree I ordered the charred ribeye garnished with shredded oxtail. That oxtail was too good to me. The ribeye itself was juicy with healthy, fatty pieces (lol) ….whoever the chef is, needs to be my personal chef? Please?
Definitely returning, over and over again. Hands down.
