From the nasty, surly waiters, to the bland and mismatched flavors, to the general attitude of "we're so great, that we don't have to treat our customers nicely" just left a horrible taste in my mouth on my first visit. I'll never go back and encourage all of you to avoid it. Who cares if it's #100 - visit the first 99 over and over before heading to Marvin!

I agree wholeheartedly - While Marvin is 'good', it's far from 'great'. #100 is right where it belongs. Good write-up.

I've eaten there twice and couldn't tell you what I ate but thought it was creative and tasty. On a weeknight when it's relatively quiet it's one of my favorite bars to hang out with friends (love the roof deck). They have a decent beer collection and more importantly they serve Blueberry Stoli. On the weekend however - forget it. I won't go anywhere that has a line out the door.
