MARLOW'S TAVERN

MY FIRST VISIT TO MARLOW'S TAVERN WAS INTERESTING. THE SET UP WAS TRICKY. DID NOT CIRCLE THE ENTIRE BUILDING TO REALIZE THAT THERE WERE TWO ENTRANCES.  IT WAS HARD TO TELL WHICH WAS THE MAIN ENTRANCE. AND, WE WERE PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK.  

WHILE WAITING FOR FRIEND IN PARKING LOT AND NOT SEEING HIS CAR, I WENT INSIDE TO PEAK AND DID NOT REALIZING THAT THE PARKING LOT SANDWHICHED THE RESTAURANT.

SO, WE WERE BOTH WAITING AT THE PARKING LOT AT THE SAME TIME ON OPPOSITE ENDS WITH THE RESTAURANT IN THE MIDDLE.  (IT WAS ENTERTAINING BECAUSE FOR A SECOND I THOUGHT I WAS IN THE WRONG RESTAURANT.) WE COULD HAVE JUST WAITED INSIDE. HA!

THE DOOR HANDLES ARE SOOOOO CUTE.
I THOUGHT THE OTHER SIDE WOULD HAVE A FORK HANDLE, BUT NOPE, ALL SPOON.

INSIDE WAS NICE AND DARK WITH HIGH COMFTY BOOTHS TO SIT IN.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT WAS SO DARK AND THE LIGHTS THAT WERE SHINING DOWN ON EACH TABLE WERE SO STRONG THAT IT WAS HARD TO READ THE MENU WITH THE GLARE.  I WAS CONSTANTLY SHIFTING MY MENU TO DODGE AND GET LIGHT AT THE SAME TIME.  OH BOY!

               

NOTICED THAT THEIR "WALL DECOR" WAS FULL OF BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE RESTAURANT.  THE RED CEILINGS ARE BRILLIANT, GIVING IT THAT RED MOODY GLOW.  I ALSO LOVE THE SPLASH OF RED THAT ARE SPORADICALLY ACCENTUATED ABOVE THEIR DROP DOWN LIGHTS. MODERN CHIC!
