“ An incredible addition to Seaport!! Marcelino's opened last year, and we could not wait to dine there. I should've written the review last year when we went for New Year's, but never too late. That was an experience with a Venetian-themed party. We toasted the NY with champagne and beautiful masks provided by Marcelino's. Exceptional experience!!! The minute you step into the reception area, get ready to experience elegance, vintage luxury, and delectable tastings. Atmosphere: The ambiance of this restaurant is luxurious with a mix of old and modern touches. The bar is just stunning. They have opened the patio now for the summer with an elegant dining experience with a beautiful view of the Harbor and the Boston skyline. We are going to make the most of it this summer by dining here as much as we can. Music is Fri/Sat. The DJ is just phenomenal. Very energetic atmosphere. Drinks: Whosoever came up with the drink menu, IT'S AMAZING!!! Unlike any other restaurant, their drinks are not watered down. One can taste and smell the beautiful aromas of the infused spices/fruits/ingredients. The drink menu has been carefully selected with very unique flavors and presentation. I am just blown away every time we are there. They've excellent mocktails as well. Food: It is so different from any other place around Boston. The presentation is so beautiful, the flavors are umami ...just so delectable and fresh. It is tapas style so that one can taste several dishes. I can go on and on about each dish, but I will leave it for everyone else to experience. Basel and his team have done an amazing job in creating something very different. We have so many steak houses in the area that we needed to experience something that Basel and his team have delivered exceptionally. This restaurant is by far our favorite place to have casual drinks/dinner, or a formal dinner with friends. ”

“ Amazing service. Beautiful decoration and great food. The hibiscus cocktail would be better in a shorter glass with a different ice cube. It was too tall and made it very hard to drink. The rest of the drinks looked pretty and tasted great. ”

“ Such a vibe! This place has it all — amazing waterfront views, super creative drinks, and a DJ that keeps the night alive. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, always going out of their way to make your night feel special. The food is a perfect mix of Levant and Mediterranean flavors — fresh, and flavorful. Marcelino’s has been my go to spot in Boston. Highly recommend!! ”

“ Really cute new spot that's located in the courthouse in Seaport. The place is super trendy with multiple smaller rooms and a big open bar area. The entrance is really bright and has a cool lighted mirror wall. The food is Mediterranean tapas, we didn't eat anything, but it looked delicious. We came here for the drinks which were fantastic. I had the baklava drink which was basically a Manhattan but had baklava flavors in it which was really good. My wife had the watermelon rhubarb which had a feta cheese foam on top which was DELICIOUS. we also had the oregano and quince which were equally well balanced and great tasting. Our server Katy was also really sweet and did a great job of explaining the drinks and making us feel welcome. ”

“ Went after work with a friend for some food and a cocktail. I loved the strawberry drink- very refreshing and balanced. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly at medium rare and the sauce that was on top was amazing. Would definitely come back to try their other cocktails! Loved the vibe and the service was attentive and informative. ”

“ Great atmosphere and service! Marcelino’s is a fun spot with high energy — they often have a DJ or music playing, which makes it perfect for a night out with friends. The food wasn’t the highlight for me, but it was good enough for appetizers and drinks. Definitely a cool place to hang out and enjoy the vibe! The drinks are amazing, pornstar martini is one of my favorite drinks and they definitely nailed it there!! And the views from the outside patio are incredible! ”

“ After all of the Instagram buzz about this place, I had to come in and take a look for myself! I have to say that the drinks were clearly well curated and one-of-a-kind. And the dishes were also quite impeccable. The food far exceeded my expectation. Everything tasted amazing and it was just the right amount of food. And considering the amount of food and drinks, I have to say the prices seemed reasonable. When we wanted to switch over to the bar, the staff was very understanding. Would definitely love to come back! This restaurant has a swanky, fun vibe. Perfect place to share a meal or drink with a friend after work! Also great for a date spot! ”

“ Boston's best of everything. The atmosphere is fresh,classic and elegant all in one. Every detail was well thought out. The view is incredible. The food was excellent. High quality and plated to perfection. The team of servers know their stuff. They knew the menu and were tentative! Looking forward to visiting in the summer. ”
