Marben is a bit of a glitch as far as restaurants and bars inthe King St West neighborhood go.

You’d think it was stuck up cause it’s on Wellington and it’s really damn nice inside, not to mention the food is super high end.

But no dice, it’s actually mad cool.

Wellington is one of those secret streets that all the design and media geeks who are suits in Chuck Taylor’s and fixed gear’s know about, but manage to keep the King St. douchers out, so in a way, it’s the perfect location.

The layout is really nice. There’s a fully licensed but not too huge patio out front. Inside, there’s a long bar against one wall that’s great for hanging out and having a pint. The restaurant opens up with seating in the back and there’s a semi-private smaller restaurant-style room downstairs.

In terms of decor, it’s got that high end pub feel that works for the 25 and up set. The food is absolutely delicious and they regularly have menu deals for lunch and bday parties.

Servers are really nice and know a lot about the food and are great to recommend dishes. It’s also a really nice date spot for dinner that gets mad lively on the weekends.
