I just left Marmalade Cafe in Malibu. I still have a sour taste in my mouth...and it's not just from the mis-ordered cobb salad.
Marmalade Cafe located in the Malibu Country Mart was filled with loud screaming babies, clearly a family restaurant, but that didn't stop us from entering and ordering.
We were miraculously seated instantly, but other than that the service was pretty poor. I ordered a chopped salad, which sounded tasty based on the menu description. We got our food, a long while after, and my salad looked confused.
I started eating it...and blegh. When I finally got the waiter to come to our table, it was already time for us to leave, and I asked if this was a chopped salad. He said "that's a cobb salad". I told him I'd ordered the chopped, and he said "Oh, I thought you wanted the cobb salad...chopped". It was a pretty weird encounter.
Needless to say, I was disappointed in the service and the food. I can't NOT recommend the restaurant, because maybe if I'd gotten the food I'd ordered, I would have enjoyed myself. But I can say the ambiance was far from pleasant, unless you like constant reverberating noise, as you try to eat and talk to your dinnermates. The only redeeming quality for me, was the paper kids menu avec crayons, which gave me the opportunity to color, play tic tac toe with my friend, and distract me from the surrounding chaos and poor service.
Thumbs down, Marmalade Cafe. Thumbs down.
