Opened in 2010 and relocated to its current location in 2014, Marlowe is a New American bistro located in San Francisco’s Soma neighborhood in the former COCO500 space.

Brought to you by Executive Chef Jennifer Puccio and award-winning San Francisco designer Ken Fulk, Marlowe focuses on classic comfort foods with flavorful twists, like Chef Puccio’s signature Marlowe Burger, seasonal poulet vert, brussels sprouts chips and quail egg topped steak tartare.

Taking inspiration from the butcher shops of the past, Marlowe is designed with a sleek but comfortable feel, featuring white subway tiles, white marble, deep blue banquettes, wood block tables and specials listed on rolls of butcher paper.

    Fantastic food and cocktails! We’ll definitely come back again. Got the burger, the Brussels sprout chips, and fried green tomatoes - all 11/10

    Disappointed with the food , they added horseradish on the hamburgers. Did not taste good. The polenta dish was very bland. Too many mushrooms and not enough eggs or polenta

    Marlowe is just perfect!! my Bestie and I were there for breakfast this morning, and our first impression was this place is so cute and intimate. The service was impeccable, the food was so good. She had a fried green tomatoes and polenta, I had the caramelized onion burger. We loved it so much that after we went to the museum, we went back for a drink afterwards. Excellent spot, very welcoming and super special ♥️

    The Valentine’s Day “prix fix” was underwhelming. It felt like regular menu just split into three categories.
