Opened in 2010 and relocated to its current location in 2014, Marlowe is a New American bistro located in San Francisco’s Soma neighborhood in the former COCO500 space.

Brought to you by Executive Chef Jennifer Puccio and award-winning San Francisco designer Ken Fulk, Marlowe focuses on classic comfort foods with flavorful twists, like Chef Puccio’s signature Marlowe Burger, seasonal poulet vert, brussels sprouts chips and quail egg topped steak tartare.

Taking inspiration from the butcher shops of the past, Marlowe is designed with a sleek but comfortable feel, featuring white subway tiles, white marble, deep blue banquettes, wood block tables and specials listed on rolls of butcher paper.

    Love their burger and fries, skirt steak and steak tartar. Burger and steaks cooked to order perfectly. Entrees all reasonably portioned.

    A nice location. Service was good. Food was so-so. Very limited menu. Price is pretty high for what you get.

    Delicious food, fabulous service, the only disappointing aspect was that it was extremely noisy and hard to hear conversations happening, even in a small group of 6. Other than that I’d definitely go back!

    賑やかで、活気のある雰囲気でした。うるさいと思う方もいると思います。 食べ物、飲み物は普通。 初めて行きましたが、人気らしくほぼ満席で、ちょっと店員さんがたりていないように感じました。

    Food and service was fantastic and the drinks were great. The noise was so bad tho, we had to shout to hear each other almost the entire meal!

    I used to love going to Marlowe, and just went back yesterday after several years. I still loved it. I’m going back more often. The food, drinks, service and ambiance are all excellent.

    It’s a tiny place . It’s expensive and the noise level inside is off the charts . Have to yell to have a lunchtime conversation. Even when the lunch crowd send out, they turn the music up to compensate. BUT… hands down MARLOWE has THE best gourmet burger and fries in San Francisco. Good desserts too. yummy & very attentive waiters .
