The Almanac: Restaurant review: Marqs in Menlo hits the mark
Some people who enjoy attending concerts and listening to recorded music avoid restaurants that feature live music. That's usually because they also enjoy good conversation with friends and family, and too often, the volume of the music precludes conversation.
Having dinner at Marqs in Menlo one recent evening, it occurred to me early on that, at last, I might have found the perfect venue for listening to inspired music -- not background music, or blaring sound, but music worth listening to -- while still being able to talk with others I'm sharing a table with.
But music and conversation go only so far when you're hungry and craving well-prepared food. So, how does Marqs score on that chart? Impressively well -- in some instances, deserving of the highest marks.
