As I’ve written before, I love, love, love Marlowe. We come here with our little posse every few months and we’re always served delicious chow by friendly waitstaff in an unpretentious setting. How can you not love a place that has these two quotes (among many awesome foodie bons mots) printed on their front window:
Today, I took the train up with the boys to meet Fitbomb here for dinner. It’s so damn convenient since it’s located right behind the Caltrain station.
For our dinner, we opted to split a mess of starters and also ordered a burger for Big-O. It’s always funner to sample a large variety of dishes, don’t you think?
We began our meal with a couple warmed deviled eggs with aged provolone, pickled jalapeno, and bacon…
…and then the yumminess continued with a bowl of crispy Brussels sprout chips with lemon and sea salt…
…which Lil-O devoured like he had a bad case of the munchies…
…Little Gem salad with avocado, market vegetables, and citrus vinaigrette…
…spiced jumbo gulf shrimp with hot & boozy cocktail sauce…
…Dungeness Crab & Rock shrimp Louie…
..that we made into mini lettuce wraps topped with Tabasco and sea salt…
…roasted bone marrow with salsa verde and fine herbs…
…and steak tartare with poached quail egg.
Big-O gobbled up the famous Marlowe burger…
…and we were all happy campers.
The eats were phenomenal as usual but I especially enjoyed the warm deviled eggs (we ordered a second round of them!) and Dungeness crab and rock shrimp louie.
I’m definitely mad about Marlowe.
