Café de Marco

"Kids and I had a great dinner here. The service was attentive and the dishes kept it simple with high quality ingredients. If you like to splurge a little for one night of vacation this could definitely work. Also pet friendly as well, as others mentioned. We would definitely consider a return if back on the island in the future."

"It was my wife’s birthday and they did not acknowledge it at all after we told them right when we sat down. The waiter wasn’t very attentive to our needs and only came around twice the whole time, once to introduce himself and another when we called him over to give us our beer that was forgotten after my wife had her Prosecco and we wanted to do a birthday cheers. The food was absolutely excellent but for a birthday celebration, we were hoping for more attentiveness. Cher and the food runner were excellent as well."

"Cafe de Marco was an amazing find. We were searching for a restaurant to celebrate our anniversary, and it was perfect. The waiter made great recommendations for their specials, and his service was above and beyond. The special was Tripletail with Mango sauce which was delicious. Afterwards of course dessert was recommended, even with being full we had The Cafe Puff. Sadly to say we devoured it. Definitely indulge in this dessert. We actually thought the waiter was joking when he told us he would give us half and put the other half of the dessert in the freezer. No joke, we enjoyed the rest the next day. Definitely worth visiting. We will when we return to Marco Island."

"Very disappointing evening. Seven of us arrived for a 6:30 dinner reservation when we were told we had a reservation for four. No, I made a reservation for seven. Okay, plenty of seating available inside, only three tables taken including our party. Outdoor seating was well attended. Our server cheerfully began reciting the specials when rudely interrupted by another server who was uncorking a sparkling water and engaging the couple who ordered it in a description of the brand of water, etc. We were then told we would be having both servers for our dinner. One guest had a question about the cost of lobster. Our cheerful server left to get the price never to return. The second server gave our friend the information but then vanished. We sat with no drinks,, other than water, and no attention for at least 20 minutes. This continued for the rest of the evening, service was extremely slow, dinners were served lukewarm, rolls needed to be requested. We left at 9:00 after sitting for two and a half hours. The restaurant was not busy."

"Our dinner was delicious and the service attentive and pleasant! This little hidden gem is always worth a visit."
