Marston's Restaurants

Executive chef Jim McCardy and his 20 years of culinary brain knowledge have contributed to Marston's seasonal menu, which changes weekly, and is cover-to-cover with upscale, classic American fare. Dine inside the elegant eatery or by candlelight on an outdoor patio with views of Memorial Park, and start with onion rings paired with barbecue ranch ($7.50). Move on to heartier helpings with upgraded takes on old standards, such as ground tenderloin of beef burger with grilled onions, blue cheese, tarragon aioli, lettuce, and beefsteak tomato on a ciabatta bun ($13), or smoked chicken macaroni and cheese—where shiitake mushrooms, squash, tomatoes, and cheddar cheese are topped with a parmesan bread-crumb crust ($17). Diners can taste innovation with more exotic dishes, like a shrimp risotto jambalaya-style, with andouille sausage, peppers, tomato, and garlic ($22), or a saffron-cushioned arctic char with artichoke and tomato risotto ($24).
