We have been wanting to try this restaurant for quite sometime now. The ambience is nice and the service was great too. The taste of the food fell a bit short. We got the bread rolls (which tasted great), green pea flan, tuna tartare, pasta of the day and the lamb chops. The lamb chops were a bit too salty and the staff was nice enough to get us another plate. Unfortunately, the second one was a bit too rare for us. The warm date cake was pretty good – the orange sorbet that comes along with it is delicious.

Walking into the restaurant, it felt nice and cozy. Since it was a little late at night, there weren’t many people around, and the service was friendly. I ordered the clam chowder, while my family had the French onion soup, and both were good. However, when it came to our main entrees, we were disappointed.
We ordered the meatloaf, Mediterranean mussels with fries, and pasta. Typically, I finish all of my food without hesitation, and it doesn’t take much to satisfy my taste, but this time, the dishes lacked flavor. The meatloaf and mussels were only lukewarm, and the pasta, though decent, was also just warm. For the price we paid, we expected more in terms of both flavor and temperature.
Aside from the food, the waitress was sweet with a bit of a transition when it came to getting the check, and the manager was somewhat kind as well. Unfortunately, the overall dining experience felt lackluster.

We’ve been dining here for many years and still love it after a three year absence. Chef Greg and Betsey do an amazing job turning out excellent food and warm, friendly service. We ate here twice during our most recent stay on Bainbridge. First night we sat at the bar – they were at full capacity – and had a great meal of seared fresh wild salmon and mussels & frites. Our server was warm and wonderful and we had a great chat with Betsey about their creative cocktail program. Chef’s house made rolls with cultured butter is a must have here! They are warm and crusty and perfect. Everything he makes is great. There are no bad choices. So happy to see it thriving in this challenging time for the hospitality industry. Marche is a gem worth seeking out.

Very friendly staff and welcoming decor. We stopped by for a weekday lunch and had mussels and fries and vegetables cooked in 5 ways. The fries were excellent with the seasoned mayonnaise on the side. Everything was delicious. Bravo!

As expected of the restaurant with the highest stars in this island! (as of summer 2019) This is a restaurant with concept – with the determination to become a real “restaurant,” whereby customers come in hungry & tired, and leave feeling restored/nourished. The food is great and the restaurant’s design is very pleasing to the eyes. If you have time, read the restaurant owner’s reflection writing placed next to the restroom (also included in this post). It’s impressively well-written. Reading this will make you appreciate your experience in the restaurant much more. My only complaint/warning would be that you should only enter this place if you have plenty of time. The restaurant don’t have many staffs during lunch. It can’t be helped, I guess, that the service is slow.

Fabulous food and fantastic drinks, worth the ferry ride. Cabernet-Braised Skagit River Ranch Short Rib (took a bite from friend’s plate) = delicious and ridiculously big which was great, the meat was tender and melted in your mouth. Pleasant View Duck Breast= cooked nicely, although I prefer mine a little bit on the rare side, the skin cooked just right. Seafood Stew (only tasted the broth as portion just enough for friends) = very healthy, the broth smells like the sea. The drink Vesper, almost on par with Ramsey’s in New York. We also had the Tarte Flambé,
Chicken Liver Pâté and Shrimp & Avocado, all very delicious. We then had the mini-trio for dessert to complete a nice girls night out dinner.
Service was superb, although they had to turn off the AC to accomedate another table of customers’ request while we were sweating quite a bit. Granted they did turn it back on a few minutes after i asked them to when my friend and I were sweating like there no tomorrow. But then they turned it off again for the rest of our staying. Unfortunately, we can’t take any more layers off while the other table could just put their jacket on? The hostess did bring me a pamphlet so I can fan off the heat myself.

My girlfriend and I gave Marché a visit for our anniversary over a week ago. I’ve taken a few days to sit on this review, just to give it room to air, and maybe come back with a fairer perspective. But the more I’ve waited the more it’s aged like milk, instead of wine. I’ll begin by saying that I feel like my expectations were justified, given Atkinson’s reputation (locally and online). He and his wife were present and were charming, from what little we saw of them. The staff appeared to be enjoying themselves in the kitchen—which you can see from the entryway—and the atmosphere was fine, if not a little on the generic side of “homey.” The food, however (how do I say this without being dramatic…) was shockingly dissappointing.
I’ve only sent two plates back to the kitchen in all my life, and this is one of them. Believe me, I’m not a snoody foodie—my small town roots compel me to eat what I’m given and be grateful for it. For $30+ a plate, however, I expect better than unseasoned, undercooked squash, plain-as-cardboard muscles garnished with steamed-to-death fennel bulb (and *nothing* else), and a pasta with a cheese sauce so broken you’d have to sip your way through several spoon-fulls of oil to get to it. Believe me, a no-frills, small town diner chef could’ve done better.
They politely offered to fix us another plate, which, admittedly, we should’ve taken, but at that point the wind was so far out of our sails that we decided to cut anchor and row for the nearest Anthony’s Homeport. We left hungry, $25 poorer (for two drinks and an “appetizer”), and looking for redemption. The menu offered an intriguing amount of daily specials which may, given some time and healing (ok, now I’m being dramatic) entice us to come back, but not before we’ve tried the rest of Bainbridge.

Everything was outstanding! From the service to Chef Atkinson to the food itself. Everything was perfectly seasoned, the portion sizes were great, and the food was priced well for what it was. All in all, really great night out!

Very disappointing experience, the menu has great descriptions “wood fired, wild golf prawns, with fennel and lemon” actually mushy shrimp on greens with a lemon vinaigrette.
A waitress that doesn’t know that flour has gluten. Water refill what are those. Checking on the party to see how the meal was? No drop the food and go then have the table wait and wait some more after the meal is finished hoping you will see your waiter so you can get the check and go.
The kitchen is open so you can see that it is to boys possibly still in high school or just out. This a great sight when you are paying and extra “20% fee on top of your meal with 66% going to the people that prepared your meal” you might expect someone a little fancier in the kitchen.

If you’re looking for traditional French food, this isn’t the place. Like another review said, there is actually more American dishes than French ones. But! The mussels were really good though.
(Et si vous êtes bretons, les moules frites, ça nous connaît. Celles ci étaient délicieuses. La sauce était parfaite.)
The crème brûlée was meh. Cracked well on top but that’s the only good thing about it.
Service was good, waiter was great. It’s a nice restaurant.
