It was a first for me as a invite and I found out upon arrival you have to make reservations , however they happily found us a table but we decided to do take out and just waited for the food at the table. The food was still? hot fresh,& delicious ? by time o reached home! Def will come back with reservations, cause they're window seats look ? to be cozy.

Marques, a new restaurant located in Akron, Ohio, is a culinary gem that will leave diners with a lasting impression. From the moment you enter the cozy and welcoming space, you are transported to a world of rich flavors and delicious cuisine.The menu at Marques is a carefully curated selection of dishes that showcase the best of Southern cuisine. One standout dish that I tried was the gumbo, which was masterfully crafted with complex flavors and perfectly balanced spices. The gumbo was rich and hearty, with tender chunks of meat and vegetables that were expertly cooked to perfection.Another standout dish was the yams, which were simply outstanding. The perfectly cooked yams were bursting with flavor, with just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the savory notes. The dish was hearty and satisfying, and a true testament to the chef's skill in creating dishes that both comfort and delight the senses.While the food at Marques is exceptional, the dimly lit dining room did detract somewhat from the overall experience. This is a minor quibble, however, as the food more than makes up for any shortcomings in the ambiance.Overall, Marques is a culinary destination that should not be missed. The restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients and expert preparation is evident in every dish, and diners will leave feeling both satisfied and inspired by the culinary artistry on display.

Went for a sisters night out & everything & I mean everything was phenomenal. I had the chicken etufee (I think I misspelled it lol) & the chicken was so tender I couldn’t believe it. The waitress was friendly & patient because my sisters & I wasn’t ready or couldn’t decide because the menu had too many options that sounded good. The atmosphere was great, very peaceful, nice lighting & great view to see traffic (if you’re into that) will be backParking: There’s some parking spots in front of building if available but also a lot next to building. Depends on the time of day, dinner seems busy

Tried Marques for the first time with a group of 8 friends. Made reservations and were seated promptly when we arrived. The crowd was light on that Saturday night, but the service was fairly slow. This is my ONLY complaint about this establishment. The atmosphere and vibe of this place are great! I got the (all white) fried chicken with two sides (mac and cheese and blue cheese coleslaw). Also added two additional sides, as the cost was minimal. I have to say that the fried chicken may have been the best I've ever had. The sides were fantastic as well. I also believe that the value might the be best in town. An additional feature of this restaurant is that you can add items a-la-cart. People in our party added single chicken wings, tenders, and even pieces of fish to their entrees. The cost of these "add-ons" was VERY reasonable! If you haven't given Marques a try, I would HIGHLY recommend it! You will NOT be disappointed! We will be back very soon!!!

Food was amazing, everything but the Mac cause it was lacking cheese! Atmosphere was beautiful my first time was everything young beautiful polite waitress. 2nd time not so well went in on a Sunday I guess all of the older people work that day the lady had the nerve to tell me “this aint kfc” cause I wanted more than 2 pieces of chicken. Definitely a disgrace to my race and why it’s so hard to support black businesses! I like to feel good when I spend my money! I will be back but only if hear a respectful tone when I call!

My first trip here. Place was totally booked but we were able to sit at the bar. (Make a reservation if there is a show playing at the Goodyear Theater that night.)Our service was great and fun. Great drink selection. And I had the fried chicken, okra, and candied yams and if I didn’t have a show to go to I might still be there eating. It was De-LISH!!!

Wings was way too big they do have flavor but just too jumbo for me the price of the food is over priced the server lady was way too rude asked her for water she gave me sink water nowhere friendly I rate this place 0-10 I’ll give them a 5 only because the vegan bowl was flavorful not sure what gratitude isBut she didn’t deserve a tip had to rise my hand up for them to fill my glass up with more water .. ok experience

Fried very very well seasoned and perfectly crispy but very disappointing to get only one piece in a catfish dinner with two sides (very small portions as well) for 18$ .... I may get a fish snack next time.
