Marlowe is a vibrant SoMa bistro serving standout Californian comfort food, notably their acclaimed burger, all in a stylish, welcoming setting.
"It’s home to one of the most beloved burgers in San Francisco, but Marlowe has more to give than that horseradish aioli and bacon-topped beauty. Peruse a menu of upscale American classics including steak tartare, an endive and avocado caesar salad, and a grilled pork chop. About a 10-minute walk away from the ballpark, this bistro makes sense for both a pre-game meal or a post-game cocktail." - Lauren Saria, Paolo Bicchieri
"After an extended pandemic closure, a change of ownership, and a remodel, this SoMa favorite is back — burger and all. Chef Jennifer Puccio created a meaty masterpiece using a six-ounce ground beef and lamb mix, chargrilled and topped with cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, horseradish aioli, bacon, and shredded lettuce, all on an Acme bun. The lamb adds a subtle earthiness, while the horseradish brings it all alive." - Lauren Saria, Eater Staff, Paolo Bicchieri
"Marlowe’s interior is bright and friendly with white hexagonal floor tiles, quilted stainless steel along the bar, and marble countertops. Sure, this hip bistro has a number of fine-dining entrees, but the burger, which regularly ranks as the city’s best, is the real star. The beef patty is ground with a bit of lamb for added flavor and served on a toasted Acme bun with horseradish aioli, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, bacon, and shredded lettuce." - Airbnb
"Reservations for New Year’s Day brunch at Marlowe start at 10:30 a.m. and include “classic brunch dishes, plus a few surprises for prosperity in the new year.” Expect ample bloody marys and mimosas as well." - Lauren Saria
"The tickets you had to the Giants game were actually for last season, so now you’re in deep SoMa looking for something to make the trip worth it. Petit Marlowe is an excellent place for dinner, especially once all the Happy Hour folks clear out. The place feels like a Parisian seafood spot and, along with turning out awesome fresh fish - from the raw bar to the crudos - everything here is good, albeit pricey." - taylor abrams, max child, will kamensky
