Editorial Review for Dan Marino's Town Tavern – by Brian C. Swartzwelder
The Scene
Picture wood, leather, carpet, steel, stone, tile and glass all intertwined, working together to produce perfect unity. An open kitchen, flat-screen televisions and large windows offer a perfect pre-dining atmosphere. The adjacent martini bar opens at night for evening libations.
The Food
The menu is creative and detailed, with mouthwatering accents such as apple-smoked bacon and chipotle-lime vinaigrette. A lunch menu provides most of the same dinner treats at a lesser price. The sesame-seared tuna is wonderful, cooked medium rare over a bed of crispy Oriental vegetables, thin noodles, wasabi and ginger-soy vinaigrette. Wash it down with a Shotgun or Quarterback colada. Finish with the almond basket, a baked almond brittle with fresh berries.

We decided to head over to Dan Marino's for a pre-game meal before the BoSox vs Devil Rays game and were delightfully surprised with the diverse menu. The Lettuce Wraps we ordered as an appetizer were beautifully presented and full of flavor, and light enough to leave room for the rest of our meal. We ordered the chicken parm and the ahi tuna. Both meals were excellent. The tuna was top quality and exceptional. Although it was an extremely busy Saturday night due to the BoSox being in town, the high energy staff was extremely attentive and we received our food within 10 mins. The manager came by to make sure our meal met our expectations...and it did. We're looking forward to another outstanding experience on our next visit.
Pros: Fun atmosphere, lively music, high energy staff.
Cons: Sometimes crowded

Let me first say that I have been a patron of Marino's for a long time. Two managers Miron and Jeremy bought me a drink the first day I walked in years ago. I have been a loyal customer through all of the ups and downs. I must say tin the last two years I have seen a great restaurant slowly sink into abyss. I have seen managers argue with people about their food and servers avoid people. Food is now average at best and the place could use a nice cleaning' especially in the bar. It has a fowl smell that even the staff talks about. Hopefully someone will read this and choose to go somewhere else and the managers will make changes to "right the ship" or they may find more of their "regulars" jumping overboard.
