We went there for the New Year's Day Buffet Brunch 2025. Usually, the food at the buffet is mediocre unless it is at a high-end hotel. Even then, the food can be hit or miss. However, the New Year's Day Buffet at the Marseille was very well executed. The beef steaks were a perfect medium rare. The salmon and the roasted chicken were tender and moist. The mussels were dressed well. There was a seafood section, raw oysters and clams, and extra-large shrimp. Service was attentive, and the atmosphere was festive. We had a good time. We will go back for dinner.

This is a small neighborhood establishment. The tables are small and close but still private. When filled, the noise level is high - mostly because everyone is enjoying themselves. The food was exquisite, far beyond my expectations, without any pretention. Kudos to the chef. He was able to accommodate my food allergies without me noticing a plate with gaps where something else would have been. My only question is why haven't I been here before? It most certainly won't be long before I am back. A real gem.
