Fantastic meal great service and a good vibe. Best meal we've had in NYC so far. Kids really liked it and they are picky eaters. Win win!

I think the food was good but the appetizers were incredibly small for how much they cost. We got one of the sliced fish options and a second app, and both were nothing special. The pastas were good, and pretty filling, but again kind of overpriced. The servers were amazing and really attentive, but I think you're just paying for the location and the upscale vibe

Food 4.0/5.0 Service 4.0/5.0 Value 3.0/5.0 Decor 4.0/5.0 Overall 4.0/5.0 Very good spot for raw seafood and and pasta. Good wine list. Would really one day love to find a non-steak place that serves a good steak - as one would expect, this one was meh. Lots of suits on weekdays.

Food: 4 Value: 4-5 Service + Ambiance: 5 Highlights: Branzino / Sea bass tartare, Foccacia Lowlights: Sides We went to Marea for a nicer date night & dinner, and I'll definitely be coming back. Several parts of dinner were excellent and worth the price, and I'll definitely have an even better meal next time. NOTE - If you have the InKind pass, Marea is an excellent use of the monthly $50 benefit. You can definitely splurge a bit to hit the $150 minimum for two, and with InKind's discount, be able to tip generously and still save vs. paying for it fully out of pocket. THE FOOD - * Branzino Antipasti: This is a sea bass tartare and might be the best tartare or appetizer I can remember eating. I've never had sea bass raw before with the exception of sashimi, but the mix of ingredients between herbs, nuts, radishes, a kick of garlic chili paste, and the fresh fish was mind blowing. Our host offered to split it into two for us and when he brought out the dishes, we thought we'd end up getting charged for two portions because of how sizable each of the halves were...we only got charged for one - amazing * Shrimp gnocchi: Not bad of a dish, but hardly stands out from a restaurant that used to have a star. * Octopus cavatappi: Ordered this because it looked interesting and honestly flavor wasn't bad, but it was a bit salty and felt too salt/umami all in one. Could've benefitted from some fresh ingredients to lighten it up. * Sides: Worst part of the meal. Didn't offer much and we should have gone without them. * Bread: Amazing foccacia. You do have to flag folks down to ask for refills...but it's worth it. The other breads were good but don't hold a candle. THE SERVICE - Staff is kind and helps make it a wonderful experience. We had a great laugh with our host about how it started pouring rain outside during our dinner...then promptly got drenched on our way home. Worth the pain for a great dinner.
