I was looking for a new place to have a company dinner and phoned Marica to see if they could accommodate. Thomas answered the phone and made the reservation for 11 people seamlessly. When we arrived, they had set up a nice long table for all of us by the bar, which who doesn't like being close to the bar? Nina and Thomas were so kind and attentive and we got plenty of recommendations including some great bottles of wine. All our food and drink were delicious and they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and two of our employees feel special at their relocation party. Can't wait to eat here again. What a gem of a place, with kind people, great wine, and good food.

My parents and I love this restaurant. I live in Chicago and whenever I come to visit my parents they want to come here. If not I Uber them food from here to make them happy!

The food was excellent. We had guests from out of town, and the staff let us talk for a long time. It is a very welcoming restaurant with excellent service!

Date night. So we decided to return after all these years. Food was good but I remembered the ambiance was more romantic. Maybe I'm just getting older... the lights were too bright and the tables were arranged in a funny way that wasn't as .... Romantic Service was great. The food was yummy. I had their Paloma. They promised it was very smoky and it was indeed deliciously smokey. Had their special wok-fried calamari. It was very flavourful. The husband had their three meat meatball with spaghetti. Although the meatballs weee tasty, the dish was a bit anemic and could've used a bit more sauce. I had their infamous seafood stew. It was decent. Everything was cooked just right. But the flavour wasn't as intense. Perhaps because the wok fried calamari was so flavorful in comparison

Incredibly good food; great, friendly service, really good wines, all at a reasonable price. The lobster and corn soup and rack of lamb were as good as any I've tasted. fish always fresh and never overdone.

Food is overpriced for small portions. I've had much better seafood for that price. The ambience feels cheap. The servers seemed really disorganized and only a couple people appeared to be actually working. I wouldn't bother going again.
Great staff here.It's a seafood restaurant.I don't eat seafood.They had steak as a special.It was better than Ruth's Chris.Fantastic alcohol selection.
We (party of four adults) ordered appetizers- mushroom toast, shrimp, and wok-fried calamari ( for me). They were OK-the calamari was tough. We had a range of entrees- salmon, short ribs, and a squash soup. My friend enjoyed them. I ordered the seafood stew- smelled like an overdose of fish sauce. Had a few shrimp and a scallop, plus a piece of white fish. The smell was too intense. I couldn't eat it and sent it back. I have never done that before after traveling in Europe, Norway, and the United States. The service was outstanding and I enjoyed the Helles beer. Not sure what happened with stew

I really wanted to like this spot especially since they've been around for so long and I had my parents tell me how much they like it but for some reason my experience was not good. The owner needs to hire a better group of wait staff. The people working in the day I went were rude and unfriendly and not very helpful. The ambience is sweet and I know the food is usually great but this time mine wasn't very cooked well. I won't be back but I hope they hire better service workers.

Marica is a family owned restaurant that has been around since 2000 I think. They have a variety of different entrees (steaks/meats, seafood, pastas). I've really enjoyed their steaks, seafood pastas and their desserts (chocolate souffle or creme brulee). They have a full bar and different cocktail specials.
