Marca on the Wharf - Cobourg

Came here for a friend's birthday dinner after hearing good things about it. We ordered the charcuterie board to share for an appetizer, but were told they didn't have any. We ordered the grilled calamari instead. It was okay, big portion. We asked if they had any tomahawk steaks, as we had heard about them, but again were told they didn't have any. The wine menu was on a laminated placemat and didn't even say the brand of wine, it just said Cabernet or petit sirah. We ordered a bottle of the Petit sirah for $65. The waiter brought out small dollar store glasses. We asked for bigger ones and were told they didn't have any. I saw other tables with some, so I asked again. The waiter said he would have to go wash some himself, as their dishwasher quit that week. We also found out the line chef had left this week too. We had to even ask to get some utensils and water. At this point we were very surprised and disappointed about the place. The food came, and it was delicious. The steaks were cooked perfectly and we also had the salmon and the veal Parmesan. The chef came out and we complimented him on the food and mentioned we were disappointed they didn't have the charcuterie board. He said they did have them and brought us out some of their smoked duck bacon. He also brought our friend a piece of blueberry cheesecake with a candle for his birthday. We commented to our waiter that the owner had made rounds to the other table around us, but skipped our table. The owner came by and dropped off 4 shots for us and left. He never came to ask how our meal was, even after we spent $400. It's too bad...it seems like the only one who cares about this place is the chef. If service was better I would have given it 4 stars. Service definitely needs to improve before I would go back.

I went to Marca's solo during a night in Cobourg for work purposes. Nice place, wait staff was friendly, food was delicious and they make you feel very welcomed. Big thanks to George and Vince. I will definitely return! TT

Went for date night with my husband and it was all we remember it to be!! (we have children and don't get out much without them!) The atmosphere was beautiful, warm welcoming, delicious food wine hit all the right taste buds and dessert....mouth watering. I love this place! It never disappoints! They have a small menu however 3 or 4 specials for their daily meals although they may not be the same each time we go there is always something to satisfy this picky eater! I had the mushroom sauce cannelloni (I am sure it has a fancier name ;0) and my husband had the meatballs and spaghetti. Both were very satisfying! Dessert for me was a brownie creme brule and my husband had a mixed cheese cake (can't remember what kind but he loved it!) Highly recommend!!

Enjoyed a great dinner! Food was absolutely perfect, the drinks were amazing and the service was impeccable!! It was my first time eating here but it won't be my last. Highly recommended.

Wonderful view of the harbour and great atmosphere. The food was excellent (pasta with clams for me and salmon for him). Special thanks to our amazing server, Jorges, for making our night so much fun. We'll be back here for sure!!
