The Marshallton Steakhouse

Although food is always excellent here, we went for happy hour drinks at 5 not realizing that an espresso Martini would cost $16. It was made very well but $16 in Delaware let alone Marshallton seemed outrageous. We’re not in Philly or New York. Won’t do that again.

3 stars just because of the price not matching the quality. Everyone who got steak at the table got a tough cut. Wasn’t bad just tasted like something we could have bought at shop rite and cooked at home. Apps were underwhelming and just commonplace, server was nice, scallops were terrific. Just not worth spending over $100 on a steakhouse meal. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t bad, just nothing special and very overpriced.

Very disappointed, my dinner was the size of an appetizer, my husband's steak was tough. Under staffed. Nice environment. Hope it gets

We had wanted to dine here for months. And had looked forward our anniversary dinner tonight. First impression arriving was the parking lot was a skating rink. Had been plowed, but obviously not salted or sanded. 2nd impression was the overflowing cigarette butts in the ashtrays, that flanked the entrance door. Upon entering, we were greeted, and though we had reservations (that stated it was our anniversary she didn't know how to check the book and just seated us. Both soups on menu (wedding soup crab bisque were not available. Substitute was beef barley and broccoli/cheese.The broccoli cheese wife ordered and was very good. I ordered the shrimp cocktail, which was ok, shrimp were large. However, in a normal higher end restaurant, the shrimp are de-veined. These were not. Wife's drink advertised as having muddled raspberry. There was no muddled raspberry.I ordered a dirty martini. And it was a standard martini with olives.Main course: Wife's Steak Diane , filet tips in brandy sauce was good, but only luke warm. I had the Delmonico steak (it is labeled as a steak house... It was very fatty and grissley. Ordered medium temp and came out as a solid rare.Woman's bathroom trash was overflowing and unkept.Men's bathroom was just satisfactory.Server was disinterested and non attentive.I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but I will when it is fitting and deserved.

Went last night in a group of 12. All of the group members were raving about the food and service. Including myself. We had a nice chat with Glenn who came out and told us about the room we were dining in and how the restaurant was decorated. Super nice guy and our wait staff were friendly and patient with us all. The food was delicious and beautifully served. From the burger up to the Filet (perfectly cooked). I look forward to going back.
