Editorial Review for Marrakesh Moroccan Restaurant – by Rebecca Pellman
The Scene
Low lighting, fabric draped from the ceiling and windowless walls covered in colorful rugs create a warm, tent-like atmosphere. Tables and floor cushions are close together and the music tends to be loud, so expect a more bustling than intimate setting if dining on a weekend. Servers in Morrocan attire are attentive and helpful with menu selections.
The Food
The star of the standard five-course prix-fixe dinner is the b'stilla royale appetizer--chicken and almonds in puff pastry, dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon. The hare, prepared in a rich cumin and paprika sauce, provides a savory, stew-like counterpoint to the overall sweetness of the meal, but it's for salt lovers only. Don't miss the couscous Marrakesh, which reveals tender braised lamb or chicken under perfectly steamed semolina grains and fresh vegetables, or the chicken soaked in honey and stewed prunes.

This is one of the best restaurants I've been to in a while...the food was great, my waiter was fantastic!, and the atmosphere was perfect. I went with two of my girlfriends after work so we didn't have to worry about parking (you'll want to think ahead of time if you're driving) - we got the couscous with lamb, the honey chicken, and a vegetarian dish that I can't pronounce, but did the whole 5 course thing (we all shared) - it was a great experience if you're into trying new things and different cultures (if you want a quick American-Italian meal, you'll need to go to Spaghetti Factory, this won't be your thing)! The prices were reasonable (its not super cheap though) - our meal I think was $80 - and that was including a bottle of Moroccan wine. Our waiter was attentive and charming - all three of us will definitely be visiting again. I would recommend this place if you want to try something new, interesting, good, but still affordable...
Pros: Atmosphere, Service, Food, New Experience
Cons: No Complaints, we loved it!
