My family and I went to Marigold for my birthday this year, and what a dissapointment! A disinterested greeting from the staff was followed up by a refusal to move us to a different table, even though they sat us right next to the kitchen/bathroom, and there were other tables available. My calarmari risotto appetizer was bland and overly salty, and my tiny, tasteless entree wasn't an improvement (white fish rapped in a leaf). My fiance's dish (red meat special) was also uninspired and flavorless, and my mother's pork was just flat-out ick. My dad liked his scallops, but all of the dishes were way overpriced, especially considering the miniscule portions! Moreover, the minimalist decorating and drafty windows felt more institutional than romantic to us. Don't believe the hype - there's plenty BYOB's in Philly that have much better food for a lot less.
Pros: free street parking, BYOB
Cons: tiny portions, tasteless food, unfriendly staff
