Unfortunately, my to-go experience was more than sub par. And this was not the first experience for this review to be brought to fruition. It had began with some spotty service while driving down to crescent city, indicating the intention of a specific plate with a specific cheese ingredient not included, that had been previously mistaken as a entree instead of the sandwhich. This plate was not only taken wrong over the phone as the entree, but was met with distain after we called back to re iterate the confirmation of the type of plate; but was met with being rudely hung up on quickly after being told it was fixed. The inability to be willing to offer services without attitude always seems to be unwilling applicable with this business. Unfortunate service by nice tasting, yet close to highly inflated greek food prices; seemingly time after time again, terrible attitudes and responses with the most simplest interactions, indicating unfortunate poor service and customer service. Whether solo, with my fiance, or with a group of family or friends, to-go or in house, always seems to be unwilling to share a good experience with the simplest services. Not seeming to look to go back anymore for what it is. The food was not up to standard upon after a random attitude from the owner taking the phone call. read more

My roommate and I ate here 2 months ago. The food was amazing! We had Greek salads , the special plate . The service was fantastic. I was happy to see what a bright open airy space thr restaurant was . It was overall a wonderful experience. read more

Delicious food, large portions, and excellent professional service. So glad we came here.

This place was kind of pricey, but it was very good. I had a Greek sampler plate so I could try a bunch of things, but it was way too much food for me to eat so this would be good to share half the plate with someone else, my husband had an eggplant dish that he really liked and we brought leftovers back to our campground because we were in Crescent city just for the day checking out the beautiful town. I wouldn't call this place very economical, but I would say it's very tasty. The restaurant is situated in a mall situation near a grocery store so it's not in a fancy area so the outside is not going to be you know a fancy place to take people for the price. Again, if there was a few smaller plates with a little bit less of a price, I think that would be beneficial for tourists who just need something light . read more

We stopped in crescent city for the night and found this place on Yelp. It was delicious! Service was excellent and friendly! A must if you are in the city! read more

We had a party of eight with two children 12 and 10, excellent variety and something for everyone. Food was excellent and plentiful. Service was outstanding and meal came quickly even though the restaurant was fairly busy. Would definitely recommend the food and service. Thank you read more

Some of the best gyros I have had. Love to support a family-owned business that makes good food with good service.

Ate here twice while in Crescent City. The first night we went Greek having the Moussaka and Gyro. Both were good and I liked that the Moussaka held its shape and wasn't too saucy. We really enjoyed it and the roasted potatoes were cooked perfectly. The next night we had shrimp Alfredo. The serving was huge--we should have shared. It too was tasty, but overall we preferred the Greek dishes. Both meals came with soup or salad. The salad was nice but the tomato soup tasted a little too smoked for me. We also tried the baklava which was good but did have a strong cinnamon flavor. Service was great! Would return. read more

Marlo's Restaurant is very easy to get to with solid food. Good Greek food in Crescent City? Sign me up! I was staying in town briefly before Thanksgiving on a hiking trip and found this gem here on Yelp. It was take-out only when I was around, and they were getting ready for many holiday orders. They very nicely took my order when I arrived and then waited in my car for just a few minutes. When open inside there is a lovely dining area. I had my usual falafel wrap with tasty crispy falafel balls. The pita was perfect and warm, but a bit too much sauce, and tomatoes and cucumbers with some lettuce had a good crunch. The fries were also nice and crispy. I particularly appreciated that they let me buy some of their baklava, as it was really just for the Thanksgiving orders. It was beyond delicious, with huge chunks of walnut and flaky filo. It really was special, I ended up stranded with a blown out tire in the middle of nowhere on the way home and really appreciated this treat while trying not to freak out. Whether you like Greek cuisine or Italian, you are sure to find good eats over at Marlo's Restaurant. read more

The pasta dishes were delicious. The servings were ample enough to require a take home box. Service was good with a friendly staff. The restaurant is located in a shopping center, so there is nothing fancy going on here. Just good food and good service. read more

Looked @ Yelp to find a restaurant with good reviews. Found this place! Tasty food, large portions and friendly service.

The soups are packed full of flavor. The tortellini with steak and goat cheese is outstanding. The carbonara is very good as well the bread they give you with the food. They put an insane amount of butter on the noodles for the chicken Parmesan meal... but depending on who you ask is if too much butter is a good or bad thing. read more

Hands down, the best meal I've had in Crescent City! I had the Greek Kabob Platter with wild rice and a regular salad with Greek dressing. Both the chicken and steak kabob were perfectly seasoned and grilled! They were both so tender, juicy, and delicious! The wild rice was excellent too! A real WILD rice blend, and the Greek dressing on my salad was divine! I come from an area (Pittsburgh PA and Philly) where we have a wonderful range of traditional restaurants, with some great Mediterranean and Italian food etc. Never though I'd find that quality in Northern CA!!!! I'll be a regular here for sure! read more

We tried this a couple years back when they were in a different location. One of the only places to find gyros around. They have consistently delivered a good product. I always get them to go so I don't know how the table service is. Food is really good though. read more

Chicken parmigiana was not good sauce was bland and chicken may have been frozen. The decor was in need of some TLC. Would not recommend this place. read more

STEPH JUDGMENT: Delicious Greek and Italian favorites served with a smile. We were on a looooong waiting list for the Chart Room, probably the most popular restaurant in Crescent City, and started looking around for other options. This place popped up on the app and seemed promising, so we decided to give them a try. Located further out of the main area of town, they had plenty of tables available when we got there. I had the seafood linguine (gotta have the seafood), and the hubby had the Greek Sampler. We also had some red wine (forget which kind, but it was good), and even had dessert (tiramisu), which we almost never do (worth it). Our server was excellent and we had a lovely time--would definitely return when again in the area! read more

Portions are generous, the flavor is rich and authentic. I got the steak and goat cheese Alfredo and it was delicious down to scraping the sauce left in the plate. I knew this quiet little restaurant had it in for me when they served the dish properly with a spoon with the pasta, which almost nobody does even the high end Italian places. read more

We went in as a couple and were greeted by our server. It was about 3:15 and we were hungry. My man chose the special and I had the Greek salad with a skewer of beef on top and dressing on the side with a coffee as my drink. They had music playing which was fine, but no real ambiance to the place. I did not like the desert samples sitting out as you walk by the counter. Were they real or fake? Uncovered for sure. I made the mistake of sitting by the window with the flashing lights! When my coffee arrived, I was expecting something bold. What I got was quite the opposite. My salad was fine and the protein was ok. My man's meal looked good, but he said it was bland. He had broccoli soup which was watery, and salty cause I tasted it as well. I did like the bread his meal came with and wished my salad had come with it. One thing I can't complain about was the server. He was very attentive! The big question is would we go back? We both said no. The last thing that was a turn off was when I used the rest room. There is a vented fan above the toilet that should be white. The slits on two sides were completely black! I am brutally honest about what my senses take in. I would say try it once like we did. You may have a totally different experience. There are a lot of happy customers from the reviews I've read. read more

My husband and I came through the area and were a little nervous after seeing the location was in a shopping center, but the experience was lovely. The dinning space was well decorated, and the server was friendly and had good suggestions. The pasta dishes with bread we had were massive in portions, and still delicious when reheated the next day. Would 100% recommend if you are looking for a quiet and quaint little restaurant. read more

Great service, great TASTING food, quick and easy. My partner and I blew up the bathroom for hours and in pain after eating there. We got house salad, tomato soup, garlic shrimp, and steak and goat cheese fettuccini. read more

Greek sampler was incredibly good. Loved every bite! The fried zucchini was the surprise on the plate.

We are from Los Angeles. We arrived in Crescent City on vacation and wanted to eat well. We had no idea what we would stumble upon. Crescent City is not geared for fine dining, but we discovered Marlo's. The entire meal was far above our expectation. FRESH Greek salad, 16 oz. T-bone, and scampi were as perfect as could be. We finished with caramel swirl cheesecake. Gracious service that left me feeling humble. If you're in Humboldt or Del Norte counties, have a great dinner at Marlo's. read more

Traveling through Crescent City on our way down the coast, stopped for a late lunch/early dinner at Marlo's with my dad and my young daughter. We were a little apprehensive because we're from out of town and trying a new place with no real knowledge is always a gamble. To our surprise, we had one of the most delicious meals we've had in a long time. My dad, a chef himself and Sicilian from New Orleans and a restaurant owner, is very tough to please and he nearly licked his plate clean, saying it was quite possibly the best shrimp scampi he's ever had in his life. The creamy fettuccine was so deliciously light and creamy and so flavorful. My daughter loved her spaghetti and meatballs, even asking for another side of meatballs! I ate until my stomach hurt and I have zero regrets! The restaurant is sparkling clean, even the bathrooms, and the ambiance was lovely and calm- the perfect place to relax and enjoy a delicious meal! Our server was lovely as well- incredibly attentive without being obtrusive, and very kind and polite! 10/10 would recommend! And if you live in Crescent City I envy your ability to eat at Marlo's anytime you want! Sorry for the lack of photos! I wish I'd had the forethought to take photos of our food, but I didn't plan on leaving a review until I'd tasted my food and by that point I went into a bit of a trance till my plate was empty. Oops! read more

Above and beyond catering!!!! We got married in crescent city and had Marlo's cater our 14 person reception. Their catering coordinator Lorian was so fantastic, communicative, and helpful. Every single food item was delicious. We had two types of salad, the prime rib, chicken piccata, bistro steak, and so on. Marlo's was able to accommodate both a vegetarian and gluten free guest! The service was top tier, the food arrived exactly on time and they helped set everything up. The tuxedo cake was my absolute favorite. Also the prices are more than fair! It was such a relief to find such a reliable vendor while planning the wedding. I would absolutely recommend to a friend/stranger, 10/10. read more

We were unsure based on the location by the notsonice safeway, but the reviews convinced us- and so glad we went in! While we were the only ones there, we were treated so well and loved the food! And we bought these adorable little suitcases with Italian and Greek candies inside! Definitely recommend! :) read more

On a road trip to the Redwoods and found this place while looking for a spot for takeout that was taking COVID seriously (some spots seem sketchy in this town). Not here! Everyone masked, following guidelines, and the food is INCREDIBLE. We got the Greek sampler plate and the Chicken Bacon Carbonara for takeout. Huge portions! The avgolemono soup to start was lovely too! For dessert, the tiramisu was great but the cannoli was the real standout. Seriously, get a cannoli. So glad we found this place! read more

Was very excited to eat at Marlos. Friendly staff and clean restaurant. Menu choices seemed super but were ultimately small portions and somehow overly seasoned in parts and under seasoned on other parts. Very expensive for what you get. read more
