   The food was decent, but service at 6:15 PM on a Wednesday started off strong but then our server seemed to vanish! Menu is great for kids but the slow service would make me hesitant to dine here with anyone under age 10.

   We love the food and service at Marathon. They are especially good at seafood.

   Took over 45 minutes from ordering to receiving our dinners. Too long with tickets for a show and had to rush to eat

   Our service was very slow. Our server was not very attentive to us. The food was good. Maybe we were there at an odd time.

    I had a reservation for Saturday March 8 at 12:15 pm for myself and my granddaughter. We planned at nice lunch at Marathon on Samson Street before attending the ballet at the Academy of Music. On Friday March 7 I received a text message asking me to confirm my reservation which I did. When we arrived at the restaurant, we found a small sign on the door saying it was closed. I found out from the pizza place across the street that a major problem had occurred earlier that week. Why was I sent a text on Friday asking me to confirm my reservation for Saturday when you knew that you would not be open on Saturday??????????? YOU had my phone number and could have let me know. There is no excuse for this behavior from a well run business. I have and will be sharing your disrespect for customers with many people. I called your business today and just got excuses and no apology or offer of compensation. Virginia Wilkinson 570-441-5958
