I hadn't been to Marmont for about six months, and I was surprised to see the updated decor (it's about time) and new feel to one of my favorite Old City spots. As usual, the food was great, but the additions to the menu (cheesesteak spring rolls are a must...as are the quesadillas) and the new seating/lighting inside make it a must if you haven't been there. The service was good (better than my experience at some other local spots) and the staff took care of me like one of their own. It's a good idea to stuck around for the nightlife to take over after dinner...I caught the DJ on a Friday night and the guy was hot (in terms of music)...and the crowd got more beautiful as the night went on...supposedly the weeknights are also good (Tuesday, Thursday) but I haven't experienced that first hand yet...but I will...and my only advice is if you haven't been to Marmont in months, you're missing out. Whoever was behind the updates, please accept my thanks for spicing up one of my OC favorites.
