Marco Polo Global

I came here once 4yrs ago.... Then again just recently. The food quality was night and day difference. The food was great and the wine selection seemed better. The location is nice as it is situated near Pringle Park and the views from the window seats gives you a nic look around town and the park. There's something for everyone. Wide range of foods. Chinese to French preparation on a steak with a peppercorn cream sauce to fish and chips or a burger. Separate vegan and gluten free menu's. Food was great. The raspberry pistachio chicken, pepper steak, Mongolian beef all were delicious really. Artichoke dip appetizer was not your average. Quality cheese etc. The chicken pot stickers are huge. Only thing I wasn't happy with was the service. Needed a reservation for a half empty restraint. We were pressed to order our entre when we wanted to take our time have some drinks and appetizers. Server never checked in. Only when brining out the meals. Water was never filled and server was impersonal and rushed. While we recieved slow and limited attention. I'm going to chaulk that up to Long covid impact on a small business. So they may get one more try. Service is important to me. I would recomend with a caviot on service. 4/7/22.

Our first time here and we were wowed!! We ordered so much to try because it all sounded good, so glad we did. The vegan options are so plentiful, and everything was amazing. The Vegan salt and pepper tofu and vegan orange chkn were standouts. Will need to come back to try everything vegan on the menu. Really nice, friendly service also!

I was so excited because this is actually a very famous dish in China. Hong-Kong style Chow Mein that originated from Shanghai. This dish was nowhere near the authentic dish I thought it was going to be. The noodles were not crispy at all as described in the menu. They were actually very very soggy and all the noodles were in the center. I Might add that the proportions were terrible because there was literally only about a 3rd of the noodle needed on that plate for the sauce that was on the plate. The sauce was way too runny and it pretty much ruined the entire dish. However this chef makes excellent Italian food. Makes no sense at all.

Today's order: Vegetable samosas as the appetizer. Delicious, though smaller than traditional samosas enjoyed elsewhere. General Tso's Chicken with a side of steamed rice, washed down with Sapporo beer and water. Chicken was rich and flavourful, breaded and crunchy exterior with juicy, soft interior; a delight with each bite. Sauce was mild, and not at all spicy - per my request. Rice was perfect. Sapporo was inoffensive. I'm not a beer connoisseur, so I can't compare it to anything with any worthwhile context, but the alcoholic of my ancestry would have approved. All things considered, the meal in its entirety was excellent and worthy of a second visit.

Service was nice to start, however once objections were made to being served soup in a dog bowl the waitress became politely rude. Soup was decent, meats overcooked. Marco Polo has a nice view, but the decor and atmosphere remind me of a nursing home. The rude service, the worst of nursing homes. I asked for the manager to complain to, but she was not in. Overpriced and worth avoiding.
