Marlow's Tavern

The shrimp and crab nachos were just awfull. They weren't completely heated up and whatever was underneath the cheese tasted sour. Entrees were served in a timely fashon, I had the southwest grouper. Portion size was smaller than I expected based on the price and the sauce was kind of bland. Pros: close to home Cons: by far not the best value in the neighborhood more

As far as bar/restaurant go this is one of the best I have seen in Alpharetta in a while. The interior is very warm and comfortable without feeling cramped. The televisions on the walls are there but are not a distraction if you are having conversation. This place is just as good for two people, a family of four, or one person going for a happy hour cocktail. It can get a little noisy based on the acoustics so I would not recommend it for an intimate dinner. The waitstaff is very friendly and accomodating. The menu is small but there are excellent selections for salads, appetizers, and some entrees. I think it is nicely elevated tavern food that feels healthy and satisfying at the same time. When I was there last time the hummus was outstanding, the chips were amazing, and the cobb salad was well composed. It is nice to see a place like this in Alpharetta. more
