The Marshal

Delicious.Yelp doesn't let me do .5 star increments but I would actually rate this 4.5 instead of 5, but I don't want to hurt the business because the food was really good and the service was good too. The menu is simple, yet elegant. Food came out quickly. The reason I would subtract 0.5 is because the seating is way too close to other tables. We were literally ~6 inches away from another party and we could all hear each other's conversations as if we were sharing a table. It made the experience quite awkward for both parties, it was palpable. I'm very much aware that this is Manhattan and that's how it works a lot of the time with these restaurants with smaller square footage, but even subtracting one table and re-arranging accordingly could be so helpful.

I will preface that my review is based on my overall experience, rather than the food itself. And that requires some explanation.I have food sensitivities from time to time and need to try and avoid certain ingredients such as onions and garlic. Not easy when you are traveling and dining out, BUT, it always warms my heart to find how restaurants work to accommodate my needs.Well, not The Marshal.I selected The Marshal as a pre-theatre option based on reviews and the fact that they had a fish option on the menu. I have never not been able to order fish with my food sensitivities. That is until The Marshal.We arrived at 4:30 pm and were the only diners for a good 30 minutes. The venue is warm and welcoming, and being early December was nicely appointed for a holiday feel. We were immediately welcomed and seated.When asked if there were any food allergies and I mentioned my limitations, the result was our server going to the kitchen, and hearing laughter when she inquired how I could be accommodated. Fish is pre-seasoned (I cook fish all the time and even when I can have onion and garlic, NOT something I season fish with). They could not manage to scrape a burger together for me. No chicken option that wasn't pre-seasoned. It was a salad or nothing. I had a Farmers Market Salad with Grilled Shrimp added. To be fair, it was delicious and contained a nice portion of shrimp. I also tasted one of my friend's Deviled Eggs (throwing caution to the wind), which was also delicious.Again, this review is not based on the food. If I weren't dealing with health issues, I am entirely certain that I would have had a different experience. But this one only got worse.When a gentleman came to our table with the dessert menu, he told me I would be ok as the desserts do not contain garlic or onion. Yes, I know he was trying to be amusing, but it was entirely insensitive. Yet, I smiled and took a pass on dessert.My friend ordered the Braised Lamb Shank, which looked delicious and was much enjoyed. If you can eat anything, this seems like a great option pre-theatre. Close enough to the shows, but not inundated with foot traffic/tourists. Very much a 'local' spot.I will not personally be back. What they found amusing, I found humiliating. Thankfully, this was my one negative experience during a 5 day visit back home.

This will go down as one of the best lunches I've had in NYC. We happened upon The Marshal as we were looking for a quick lunch and I'm so glad that we found it. First, it's a small spot, as expected, but know it's extra tight. If that's not your style, probably skip for a different location. The lunch special includes an entire (huge) pizza plus a small salad. For being a small salad, it was still pretty big and was bursting with flavor. Knowing that their ingredients are locally sourced made the food taste even better, in my opinion. The pizza is out of this world - no it's not NY style pizza - but that's a good thing. There are so many different pizzas, I'm not sure how we chose the ones we got, but they were each incredible and worth it. I don't really love tomatoes, but the heirloom caprese pizza was incredible and will be on a list to get again - if it's in season. I want to go back to try other things, but it will be hard not to get that again.

Ehh. Not terrible but not special. Again, why bother? Also the name is terrible!! The Marshall? Wtf

Lamb shank fell right off the bone but the surrounding polenta was okay. Baby back ribs hit the spot. Peach pizza was unique!Servers gave great recommendations but were harder to get attention of as more diners came in.Very intimate spot with small tables.

Arrived at 12p for our brunch reservation and was quickly seated in this fairly small space. The room was filled and I was wary of the service but to much of my surprise, our server was amazing! He was attentive, despite being the main server for every table. He was quick on his feet and had a clear organized system of seating guests, bringing them water, giving them time to review the menu while serving other guests. By the time he was done putting out food orders for a few of the table, he took our order and very smoothly asked if we wanted to try the biscuits. We hesitated because we were already ordering 2 entrees and we rarely finish our food when we are out.So glad we took him up on it and it was decadent! Fluffy buttery biscuits with a side of a jam that's not too sweet but the honey whipped butter was beautiful made and spread so smoothly over the halves of our biscuits. The Margherita pizza and Paillard Entree Salad arrived shortly after. Pizza was delicious. Tomato sauce was not over the top, nice hint of sweetness and went well with the basil. The salad was not overly dressed and had that nice balance of cold and bitterness from the mesclun leaves and the warmth and light saltiness of the chicken. It was very beautifully put together. Highly recommend! Brunch in 75 mins and we were able to make our 2pm show on Broadway! Great day! Thanks guys!

Great spot before the theater! Great service. Just know it's tiny tiny hallway . Pizza was great and so was the lamb shank. Awesome drinks and clever menu

Update: So glad the peach summer pizza is back! A perfect combination of fresh peaches, arugula, mozzarella and blue cheese. Wow! Totally enjoyed it with the great heirloom tomatoes salad. Of course, ever forget the burrata appetizer or the Summer in a Bottle wine! Fabulous service by Theo; and always good to see Charlie (chef/owner). Thanks for a lovely evening...Wonderful evening! Dined with friends that have never been to The Marshal. Charlie, chef/owner, and Theo, favorite server, were as wonderful as always! The burrata always a "must" for appetizer and we shared 3 pizzas! Cannot tell you which was best! Some fun new options: had the Shrimp Scampi pizza (new and way better than it sounds); the Porcini/Truffle pizza (always a fab choice) and the summer special: peach/blue cheese/arugula (had it last summer and were so, so surprised with the wonderful medley of flavors!). Wine selections always great, and we always trust Theo's recommendations! Leave some space for the cobbler - never disappoints. Thanks for a lovely evening...

Awesome service, delicious food, great vibe. This place isn't the biggest in terms of space but the flavors are "big" and yummy. We had the biscuits, the deviled eggs (my absolute favorite) and the chicken wings for app and they did NOT disappoint. The vegan pizza doesn't sound like it would be tasty but it was soooo good, with garlic and arugula and a tasty marinara. I honestly didn't miss the cheese. It was that good! My son got pepperoni pizza, which had dried pepperoni packed with flavor and was perfectly placed on a thin crust. The servers were incredibly friendly and helpful. And the drinks (I'm looking at you Apple Barrel) were soooo good!! You gotta try this place if you're in Hells Kitchen. LGBTQIA+ friendly and just an all around cool vibe.

I was in the area for something else and I was hungry so I decided to have "linner" (late lunch/early dinner) here a bit before 5pm. There were a few people sitting outside and it looked like a cute space, plus they described themselves as a farm-to-table and "wood-fire" place so it sounded good. Service was friendly--first a young man who seated me & took my drink order, for which he helpfully gave suggestions when I asked. I got the Elderflower Blossom cocktail since I wanted something refreshing. This was brought over by my waitress, a friendly young woman who I also asked for recommendations. I asked her what she would recommend between the burger or chicken or cod, and she said the burger being wood-fired made it especially good. She didn't ask how I wanted it cooked so maybe being wood-fired it is just fine one way. Anyway I went with that as an entree, plus the deviled eggs for an app. The deviled eggs were pretty good and the burger was HUGE since it came with 2 patties. The cheese melting all over it and it being fresh & hot did make it fairly impressive. It came with sweet potato fries, some of which had the nice wood-fire char, others that needed to be cooked more/crisper. The ketchup was "home made" so it had a different taste that I liked well enough. I could not finish so much so I took some of it to go, although I know that this is not the kind of food that travels well & is best eaten right away. Food was on the pricier side but I enjoyed it overall. There is one small no-gender bathroom which was kind of claustrophobic & dark & didn't smell great (since there's just 1 bathroom for everyone) but it was still fairly clean. I would come back here if I was in the area to maybe try the wood-fire pizzas or brunch.
