I went to Bar Marco for weekend brunch and came away a little disappointed after experiencing strange service.\n\nExpecting it to be packed on a sunny Saturday morning, I made a reservation for 10AM - the time they open. When we arrived, there was nobody there, not even a server. We had to be seated by the bartender, who seemed too shy to talk to customers. At least we had plenty of time to look around the interesting old firehouse space while waiting for a server to show up. \n\nI had the salmon eggs benedict and my girlfriend had the lemon pancakes with blueberries. The food was good, and I was pleasantly surprised when the my benedict came with not just potatoes but also a small salad. But after eating, we were treated to more odd, poor service. While we were waiting for the check, our server came to the table but then walked away before actually saying anything. It was just weird. \n\nAnd about the check - at $15(!) for the benedict and $11 for pancakes, it was noticeably more expensive than other comparable restaurants. \n\nIn summary, I think Bizarre Marco is tragically hip. Some people even came in off the street just to turn around and leave, probably because there isn't a host. Let's hope that this place soon realizes poor service isn't trendy.
