Marmalade is a French Californian fusion modern eatery that offers a little bit of that sex and the city feel in the heart of old town.
Open interior, low lit with accent blue and red lighting, the dining room floor has a perfect balance of tables with high backed chairs to give you that secluded feeling as well as alcoves with closing transparent curtains for a more intimate setting.
Full bar offers brandy spiked sangrias, pineapple mojitos and other specialties such as the kiwi libre:
The service is outstanding. One of the few places where the waiters know the menu and ingredients, you're offered water upfront and the offerings have a variety of flavors to wet the palette.
The mahi ceviche with plantain fritters came out with citrus and tomatoe, chunks of mahi, a tad heavy on the spicy mayo sauce but nonetheless very good:
The white bean soup was outstanding.. The signature soup, purred white bean to a creamy consistency, topped with scallions, truffle oil and pancetta dust!! What a combo of flavors, truly amazing taste:
With a little crostini, could have eaten a whole pot for dinner!
The red snapper cooked in bell peppers and a chorizo tomato sauce was presented in an interesting way. Bagged in a plastic bag to lock in the flavors:
It's unlocked with a pair of searing scissors, to reveal the snapper soaked in the red pepper sauce.. Fantastic:
The grilled asparagus salad with arugula was layered with gorgonzola cheese, plantains and truffle out:
The 4 berry cobbler was dessert of choice.. Raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and strawberries all baked with a vanilla foam, lemon biscuits and mint for garnish:
The brainchild of chef Peter Schintler, Marmalade is bringing flavors and combinations not typically found in PR.. Also for the homesick, great California wine selection!
