    Very disappointing that my entree was brought to the table 10 minutes after the other 3 entrees were delivered. I had to ask twice about my entree . Everyone else was almost done eating when I received my entree. The person that brought my meal said it was his fault but that was it.

    Marcella’s was great and our wonderful server made it so. We were celebrating my daughter choosing a wedding dress and this was the right choice. My daughter-in-law is gluten free and our server went the extra mile to guide her through the menu. She was also very knowledgeable about wine and so helpful with our choices. She helped make it a great evening!
