    Halibut
    darnise p.

    We're from NY so we know good and bad restaurants. We're in town to celebrate birthday/anniversary and a sit down dinner would be nice.Made reservations and was seated right away. Wasn't crowded so I doubt if reservations were needed. We sat outdoors; indoor seating is an option as well. Table wasn't wiped down before we sat but the waitress apologized and proceeded to clean the table. We ordered the General Tsao's cauliflower which was good; a little less sauce would be my preference. On top of Creamy pearl cous cous was a nice piece of halibut. Side salad had way too many olives for my liking. Overall it was a good experience.

    Italian sausage and broccoli pasta

    Located in a strip mall, it is a nice higher-end addition with normal options. For starters, great indoor, window walled seating accompanied by a bar area, regular seating, and small outdoor patio. The spaghetti (fettuccine) with marina and meatballs was great, and the Italian sausage and broccoli pasta was unique and quite delicious. Bathrooms are beautiful and well-kept, as well. Only complaint was very slow service, even with 3 tables.

    Dipping Plate
    Ashlee H.

    I was very excited to try this place after hearing a bunch of great reviews but to say the experience was subpar/underwhelming is an understatement at best. We were seated at the table for roughly 10 minutes with no greeting before I finally asked someone who our server was and this sweet girl decided to take us on as her table since our server was nowhere to be found. We were then given the wrong wine, which no big deal they corrected it and brought us the right one. We were also never given the bread basket so inevitably we had to ask for it. We had the dipping plate as an appetizer and it was amazing. When it comes to entrees however, this is when things take a downturn. I ordered the Colossal and substituted it with the Parmesan risotto. My scallops were very cold and the risotto had absolutely no flavor to it. The other entree that was ordered was the Scallops Provençal and they were at least warm and pretty tasty. Seems this restaurant has a few kinks it needs to workout. With the high cost of entrees, it should be a pretty well oiled machine but that doesn't seem to be the case.

    Quart of wedding soup only half full.

    Ordered takeout, did not receive one of the salads, missing bread that was asked for, paid for a quart of soup and got half, the bolognese sauce had a vinegar taste to it. For 139.00 before tip, the meal was not worth it. Overall the food was mediocre at best. Save yourself the disappointment.

    Marilyn's is consistently outstanding. The food, the drinks, the beer list and the service are top notch, time after time. (Shout out to Emily this evening!) We've eaten here more than dozen times over the past year, and I never got around to posting a review. Maybe I've just been too busy enjoying my leftovers to think about it. From the very first thing I ordered (house made pasta with Alfredo sauce and grilled chicken) to today, I have never been disappointed. The pasta here is fresh and house-made, as are the sauces. The spicy red, the Alfredo and the vodka sauce are all incredible. Tonight, I had something new -- Chardonnay shrimp scamp made with banana peppers. Outrageously good! Who ever thought to add the banana peppers is a genius. I've made my own scampi dozens of times, and it has never been as good as this dish tonight. It was bright and lemony and spicy at the same time, with parmesan and fresh shrimp. Every flavor was perfectly balanced. The last time we visited, The Summer Colossal was a special. It's now on the menu full time. And it is HEAVENLY. It's a shrimp-and-grits inspired dish, with scallops and roasted poblano peppers. Absolutely incredible and gorgeously presented. The Abe Froman, a baked ziti with sausage and ground beef, is enough for three people and totally yummy. The pasta with vodka sauce and grilled chicken is to die for. The salads are fresh, with real greens instead of iceberg. The focaccia was fresh, and gone in a minute! If you're from the area, you might wonder how it compares to what had been a longtime favorite, Oliverio's. Well, Oliverio's is good. But Marilyn's is great. The beer list features high-quality beers from big breweries like Stone, but also lots of local and regional beers, like Helltown in PA and WV's own Chestnut Brew Works. Tonight, they had Buffy from Helltown and Lunch from Maine Beer Company on tap. Can't beat that! Every single meal has been terrific, and we've brought a half-dozen friends and family. Everyone loves it. Whether you like a simple spaghetti and meatballs or the house strip steak, you're in the right place.

    My family just held my retirement celebration at Marilyn's of Morgantown in their event room and I must say it was a wonderfully run event. The room was beautiful, the service was excellent (thank you Robert), and the food was awesome. Robert (of Marilyn's) couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating, and he really helped my wife coordinate the whole thing. We really enjoyed everything! Thanks Robert. Greg

I was looking for a nice bar for a cocktail and appetizer by myself, and I found the Anvil and Ax (inside the Hotel Morgan) menu via google and decided to stop. Street parking is available all around. The doorman was so nice! There were several couples at the bar, so I sat at one of the tables near the bar. It took a while for the bartender to come over to me and give me a menu. I ordered the french martini and asked if there was a food menu available. She said they didn't serve food until later in the day, even though the online menu said otherwise. My martini was great. Service was subpar. She set my martini on the edge of the bar and I had to go up and get it- no big deal, I just thought it was odd since they weren't busy. The bartender never came back over to me; I went up to the bar to close out and pay my bill like 15 minutes after I finished my drink. There are certainly some kinks to work out, especially with service, but this place has potential to be very nice!

I did a quick search looking for the best wings in town, and this restaurant was within a decent distance from my location, so I decided to drop by. I ordered for pickup, so I couldn't give much insight on the overall vibe of the restaurant. It's very much a sports bar and there was some light music playing. As I walked in, I was quickly greeted by the bar back and the young lady assisted with my takeout order. Others at the bar appear to have been enjoying their time and drink. Now to the wings, I ordered buffalo wings with a side of Thai sauce. The wings were heavily breaded and could've used more seasoning. The Thai sauce might've been better tossed with the wings. I also ordered a side of fries. The fries were actually really good. Overall, this wasn't a bad experience, but it didn't leave a lasting impression or exceed my expectations.

Our waitress, Brooke, was new but she was extremely knowledgeable and took good care of us. She recommended the Corona wings. She said they were a dry rub and described them as not being spicy but having a lot of flavor. They were fantastic! I got 10 BIG wings, and they came out extra crispy without me having to ask. It is worth it to upgrade to the Brew Fries for an extra $0.50! There is a ton of covered outdoor seating with a large TV on the wall. The inside has a great bar and gives the vibe of an old time bar with the lighting, but everything has been updated and it is very clean. Brooke explained to us that their wing night is on Thursdays, where they offer $0.89 wings. Monday is steak night, and Wednesday at 7:00pm is Trivia. After 10 wings (not on wing night), a Buffalo Chicken Wrap, and two sides of Brew Fries, our total came to $35. Much cheaper than other places around Morgantown! I was much more impressed with SS than I was with Kegler's. We will be back!
