This review is based on the food delivered to our table not the innocent servers who do their best to compensate for the menu deception. We ordered the Burrata salad which is shown on the website as a full ball of burrata cheese. What arrived was a flat section of cheese that didn't even resemble burrata much less taste like it. What a bad joke! Our main dish of a half chicken was just a boneless portion of chicken breast. At best it was a quarter chicken, but no leg, wing, bones on back of a chicken. Totally misrepresented on the menu. Our Mellon salad was smothered in balsamic. Do not waste you time or money by eating here. read more

Rude! Shockingly disturbing service. Rude service. Staff was leaving their shift and didn't want to serve us due to us not staying at their hotel. read more

I brought my girlfriend here for her birthday and participated in their "Chefs Table" which was the most memorable and enjoyable dining experience we've had! The food, wine and service was first class! I'd highlight this experience and we'll definitely be back! read more

Food? Amazing! Server & hostess? Wonderful. Rude manager named Dan? THE WORST. My group of girlfriends came to town for the weekend and wanted to try the pre fix at The Marc. We made a reservation for 6 people at 5:30. We show up at 5:30 and the person who took down the reservation wrote the name incorrectly. But there was only one reservation for 6 person tasting at that time. You would think No big deal right? WRONG. Dan was rude and almost denied our reservation because their people took our name down wrong. The entire dining room was completely empty. To make matters worse, the hostess gave us the name written for the reservation to see if it was something close. Dan took issue with this and verbally berated the hostess when she was just trying to help the guests. Our entire party has worked in service and we have never seen such poor management skills and an unnecessary power trip over his female subordinates. After we were finally seated we got to experience a great meal while watching the dining room stay nearly empty for another 2 hours. So why the power trip Dan? Also thanks for never checking in on us after we watched you go to every other table to ensure they were having a good experience. But shout out to Alyssa and Marki for being absolutely wonderful. Dan, you were trash. #dontbeadan read more

This is a great place to eat inside the Marcus Whitman hotel. The food was really good except onion soup I ordered was over cheesed and I couldn't finish it. But the flavors were there. Our server was amazing, very nice, attentive, well put together and personable! Its been a while since I went and not sure when I'll visit again. Wasn't sure if you could just visit without staying at the hotel. read more

We've eaten here a handful of times. The first was 4-5 years ago and the food was delicious. My husband and I ordered a blue cheese wedge salad to share as a starter. It was good and the was ok to share. Fast forward to fall 2020 and we again ordered a blue cheese wedge salad. When it came out we were shocked. The "wedge" was romaine lettuce, only about an inch wide, if that, and only about 3 layers of lettuce. We should have sent it back. For $12 it was ridiculous. For a dollar more ($13) down the street at Walla Walla Steak Company/Crossbuck Brewing you can get a blue cheese wedge salad big enough that it can be shared as a starter or as a meal on it's own. In all fairness to The Marc, the other food we've had is delicious. The salmon and risotto was great, the butternut soup was to die for and the hamburgers are very good. read more

Stopped in during a slow night and had a great meal. We had an issue with one of the foods in the special and the manager was extremely kind and took it back and brought us a dessert as a thank you for saying something. Great staff, great menu, will dine in again for sure. read more

Wow, a great meal here at the Marc. This was our best dining experience of our trip. We had a private room and service was a little slow for our big group but our waiter was friendly and trying to do his best with such a large party. We had a pre fix menu but it was all great. We started with an amuse buche, I can't even remember to be honest, it was a cheese with a sweet jam/sauce and a mint oil I believe. It was a nice way to start the evening, could have been a little larger, was a bit small for an amuse. Our starter was a mixed green salad with pickled yellow beets, candied walnuts and apples with an acidic and slightly sweet dressing, it was a refreshing start to the meal. For our main I had a 12 oz ribeye, medium rare, with whole grain mustard Brussel sprouts, carrot purée, and Spaetzel. The steak was great, charred and perfectly seasoned on the outside and tender on the inside. I liked that in contrast with the sweet smooth carrot purée and the earthy roasted Brussel sprouts. The only flaw on the plate was the Spaetzel, it was dry and chewy, not tender or moist. But all in all the dish was great. Everyone else in our group also loved their stuffed sole and the rack of lamb. To finish we had a cranberry apple crumble. It was good, sweet and slightly acidic with a crunchy crumble on top. All in all a great experience, would eat here again. Oh and the Hot and Healthy complimentary breakfast with the hotel is AWESOME. Cheesy scrambled eggs, orange and vanilla scented French toast, bacon, delicious sausage, biscuits and gravy, amazing crispy roasted potatoes, oatmeal, fruit, monkey bread and so much more!!!! read more

After leaving Crossbuck Brewery because of a bad experience the Marc welcomed us in. The burger is perfect and they have wonderful drinks to go with the food. All of the staff was so friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. They even let us go back into the kitchen to see the chefs table! The food and service were amazing and we can't wait to go back! read more

My wife and I were in Walla Walla for a weekend of wine tasting and decided to give history a try. This is a beautiful old restaurant in the oldest hotel in town. It was supposed to be one of the best restaurants in town as well. The food was good but not GREAT. The service was great. Would I go back. Maybe. So many chiefs in town now making their mark on town with modern culinary ethos I might just pass on this. The history and service make it a must do one time. read more

I had the Italian Sausage Bolognese and it was excellent! My wife ordered a pork chop which she allowed me to taste and we agreed it was by far the best we had ever tasted. Tender, juicy, seasoned and cooked to perfection! I will be back for a pork chop! The Marc is a part of the gorgeous Marcus Whitman Hotel and is in itself beautiful with a quiet peaceful atmosphere. Our waitress, Victoria was polite, friendly, helpful, and very attentive. Our beverages never ran out. Thank you Victoria!!! read more

My wife had the burger and I had the sliders. My wife told me the burger tasted only like garlic, so I tried it and it was brutal. There was so much garlic you couldn't taste the bacon! We both really like garlic, so trust me when I say it was a garlic bomb and inedible. The sliders were the opposite. Not a lot of flavor at all. Everything was cooked well, but the flavors needed an overhaul. read more

Unfortunately not a great experience. We were celebrating a birthday and anniversary and really had high hopes for a special meal out. I ordered the asparagus and Brie soup as my starter and it was quite bland. Adding salt and pepper helped but only marginally. My halibut special was fine, although the risotto that accompanied it was dry and also not flavorful enough. The prime rib (also a special) was truly inedible. It arrived dry, and was extremely tough. Even with a steak knife we had to saw through to get a slice. To be fair, our server did take the prime rib off the check, and also one glass of wine, but what should have been a lovely meal was very sub par. Disappointed. Show less read more

We have stayed at the Marcus Whitman in the past but have not eaten at The Marc until this weekend. The food was wonderful and the service was great! We celebrated my graduation and brought our own bottle of wine. The staff surprised us with free dessert to go along with our celebration! We will be back to enjoy the nice atmosphere in this historic setting. read more

They blew us away. The service was impeccable and the food was great. My steak was a bit under-cooked, but always better that way than over cooked. I could have sent it back, but still enjoyed it nonetheless. My wife ordered the halibut special and absolutely loved it. The house red blend was excellent! We also stayed at the hotel and did their breakfast, which was probably the best hotel breakfast buffet we have every experienced. Everything was wonderful and the servers were so hospitable. This place could give lessons on how to run a restaurant! read more

The Marc is a well critiqued restaurant, in 2013 it was listed in the Wine Enthusiast's "Americas 100 best Wine Restaurants" list. The menu is fresh and seasonal and features Pacific Northwest influenced dishes. I liked that they source most of their ingredients locally, and even grow some of their own micro-greens. Not everyone in the restaurant were just hotel guests, there were locals as well. During the busy tourist season you definitely need reservations in advance. We were lucky to get one of the last spots the night before when we checked in. When we were seated we were given a food menu and the wine list, which was more like a wine bible it was so vast. They had a phenomenal selection of wines, especially from the region. As this place is known for pairing, I let the server make some suggestions, which were spot on. To start off the meal they serve a large basket of fresh in house baked bread. I so wish I could have sampled them, my friend relayed to me how wonderful it was. I ordered a fish dish, and my friend ordered beef. We sampled from each others plates, and everything was phenomenal down to the presentation. The flavors were all well balanced, the portions perfectly sized, and the food just melted to the bite. Definitely very well done. The service was timely, informative, and friendly. No complaints. For a special night out, the Marc definitely met expectations and was a great way to celebrate the end of a great trip. read more

We just returned from dinner at The Marc, we had a wonderful time with family after a beautiful day of wine tasting! Our server Katie and Ryan made our experience a real joy! It was nice to see staff so friendly and happy to joke around. OK, to the food. We all had the fillet which was very tender, mine was a bit over cooked but they were very quick to replace my meal, cooked perfect! The manager Dan apologized and made everything right. We had several substitutions and special needs which were all taken care of with a smile and great follow through. I ordered the Chocolate-Peanut Butter cake which was really good, the funniest part of the evening was the MINT Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. 3 of the 4 of us ordered the ice cream and just as advertised, WOW it tasted just like minty fresh toothpaste. Not necessarily in a bad way but just WOW! Good service is what made this evening a hit, pleasantly surprised at quality of food and service coming over from the big city.

Second visit to charming Walla Walla, and like the first time, opted to visit this restaurant tucked inside the historic and charming Whitman Hotel. The welcome and service was cheerful and friendly as the first time. We had a starter of Caesar salad served with proper anchovies and both our thick and juicy rib eyes were served perfectly. The decor isn't elegantly over powering, perhaps many would find it outdated, but that's part of the charm. The place is perhaps one of the more expensive places in town but on a good night, with extremely friendly service, well prepared meals, and throw in free electric charging outside the hotel, The Marc hits the spot and we'll continue to visit. read more

Enjoy the ambiance of the bar during happy hour! Brisket over dark salad greens (instead of having it served as a burger) paired with their house red (all their wines are beautiful).

My husband and I had a great meal here. The restaurant did a great job with distancing the tables out for covid - and the staff wore masks and disinfected the tables. We loved the cheese board and crab dip appetizers--they were huge! And the burger was as amazing as everybody is raving about. Our waitress Alyssa was perfectly attentive, and the bar tender, Mark, made amazing cocktails. Would definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

Very nice looking place. Just eat anywhere else first. Had the 48 dollar ribeye.... flavorless. Mushrooms appetizer bland. Wedge salad was a 2 on a 10 scale. The service?? Horrible. Any taco joint would have been better. read more

Great presentation, good food, mediocre value, uneven service. Bass was good, but nothing spectacular. It was beautiful, but I expected more glorious flavor. The potatoes, corn, and berries were great, and really overshadowed the fish, or supplemented it. I also had a seafood corn chowder with a little chili oil...that was a five star soup! My dessert was a peach cheesecake, though it lacked grace. It was beautiful, but dense and without much cheese or peach flavor. We were a very large party, but service was slow, even in just getting a drink order going! And three times to get the bill right was a bit disappointing. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed the 5 course Chef's Tasting menu. Dan called is advance to ask about our preferences and any food allergies. Each dish was presented beautifully and the chef came by to explain what we were about to eat. We opted out of the wine pairing beside we had been wine tasting during the day so we just ordered a few drinks and focused on the food. Well worth the money! read more

We did the 6-course all-inclusive "Featured Wineries of the Month" dinner. It was surprisingly exquisite on every level! The old-fashioned dark-wood decor was charming. The food and parings of local wines were excellent and delightful, as well as a great introduction to what WA has to offer in wine. Our server, Brittney, was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and charming. The serving size of food was moderate for each course, which was good because the overall quantity was perfect. The taste of the unusual recipes was phenomenal, but the real star of the show was the perfectly paired WA wines! Each food totally enhanced their tastes in an exquisite way! We are 50-somethings who have an extensive wine collection, and this was WELL worth the time, money and meal! read more

Not sure where to start. Table of 8 that ordered a variety off the menu. Beet salad was the smallest portion I have ever seen, taste was avg at best. Terrible for what you pay. Several grilled beechum cheese sandwiches. Boring white bread the was soggy and cold. Soup was lukewarm and very small portion. Lobster roll was a joke, came on a bun large enough to feed 4 but a spoon full of lobster. All 8 agreed it was a terrible meal. It not that hard to make a good salad , sandwich and soup. Chef and mgmt should be ashamed! read more

We ignored the negative reviews as we were staying at the Marcus Whitman hotel but wish we had dined elsewhere. I was hoping to enjoy a glass of Leonetti Merlot with my meal but was informed by our waitress that they would be out of the wine "permanently"? My wife got the New York strip which was riddled with gristle and flavorless. The carrots were significantly undercooked. I got the burger and it was just ok. It's too bad because the restaurant does reflect on the hotel which we've enjoyed so far. I rarely leave reviews, positive or negative, so take this for what it's worth. Maybe a better dining experience elsewhere? read more

Had dinner at The Marc for an early Valentines dinner. We were very surprised to find the dining room almost completely empty when we arrived. The service was very prompt and stellar. We started with a mimosa and a cocktail called the erase/rewind. Both were great and substantial in size. We then had the bread basket. The garlic knots were to die for. I ordered the sliders and my boyfriend ordered the burger. The burger, fries and garlic sauce were amazing, by far the best burger either of us have had in a long time. The burger was well cooked, tasty bacon, sweet onions and crispy lettuce. The sliders were a bit lacking in overall flavor, but the crispy onions and adding the garlic sauce made them decent. The Parmesan fries that came with the burgers were phenomenal. We ended the night with the vanilla bean creme brûlée. It was perfect, a HUGE portion that we shared. Overall it was a perfect night out. I would highly recommend for anyone visiting walla walla to check out The Marc. We will for sure be back. They did have a few specials they were running as well, we didn't order either of them because we are not seafood fans but the pricing and options were great. read more

Who knew that getting reservations for six people in Walla Walla on a Saturday night would be so difficult . . . which is how we ended up there. The Marc is the restaurant inside the Marcus Whitman Hotel in downtown Walla Walla. The food was uninspired, but okay. It was the service that totally sucked. After dropping off menus and getting our drink orders the waitress disappeared for a good twenty minutes before coming back to take our order. That kind of service continued to happen all evening. Because of where we were staying we received free dessert - which was the highlight of dinner. Poached saffron pear . . . delish. And while I understand how restaurants tack on a 18% tip to groups six and larger there was no way we would have given that much as a tip for our service. Even 15% would have been generous. read more

Fantastic! Our server Matt was on point the whole time. The wine recommended went very well with our food and the scallops were some of the best I have ever had. It was a wonderful dining experience. We plan on doing the chef's experience next! read more

We had high hopes for this restaurant after reading all the reviews. Unfortunately we had a very bad experience. Four of us stayed at the hotel for a wine tasting weekend (in their most expensive suites) and we made reservations at the restaurant for the first night of our stay. The one star is because we were seated promptly on a very busy night. Our server brought over some water and bread and promised to return in a moment. That was the high point of the meal. We waited 10 minutes for the server to return for our drink order and then another 10 minutes for the drinks to arrive. We decided to order due to the slow service. We all ordered an appetizer and an entree. Two of us had the french onion soup. It had been reduced to the point that there was no broth....just some onions covered in cheese. The salad was tiny. None of us had ever seen a salad so small. The tomato soup was passable and the best of the starters. The entrees were disappointing as well. Two of four went back and one was 1/2 the size advertised (the lamb chops). Only the steak was acceptable. When we told the server we were unhappy, he sent over the manager. In his defense, he comped us two of the meals which were inedible but was defensive about the food quality and service. We left with a bad taste in our mouth and although we will definitely be back to Walla Walla, we won't be back to The Marc. read more
