Marley's

We went to Marley's restaurant in Wilton for the first time. I had heard a lot of good things about this restaurant and was excited to try it.

On the positive side, Marley's has a varied menu and the food (when finally served) was tasty.

On the negative side, the service was TERRIBLE. I had made a reservation and the restaurant was half empty, so we were seated promptly. We placed our drink and dinner order and the wait began. The drinks were delivered and the waiter disappeared. The waiter did not stop by to ask if we wanted additional drinks or to explain why after 45 minutes, our meals were not yet served. Diners who arrived after us ate and left, while the 4 of us waited for our dinner. We flagged down the waiter and were told that cooking chicken and steak took a LONG time and that is why we were waiting.

Note: How is that a plausible explanation, when another couple arrived after us, ordered the same things and were served in 15 minutes ?

I believe that our order was misplaced or forgotten. After an hour wait, dinner was served. We did not order coffee or dessert. I think we are all afraid that  it might take another hour for this to arrive.

The saving grace was that we were out with our Westport family and enjoyed lively conversation while we waited.
