I dined here for my friend's birthday as a party of 9. She was informed on her way to the restaurant that our table had been booked for 9pm, our reso was for 6:30, which was cutting it a little close considering the size of our party. Our server was really pleasant and our food came about 20 minutes after ordering. After we finished dinner we asked if we had enough time to order dessert, and were told it was ok. Shortly after, a staff member came by and informed us we had to clear the table for our next booking but that we could sit by the bar for our dessert. Our party of 9 walks over to the bar, and there are no seats for us. We're all standing by the front and are made to feel like we're in the way of the service staff. Since we have nowhere to sit, someone from our party asks them to cancel our desserts. The server then arrives with one bill, and says it's not possible to split it. So we stand there for another 20 minutes trying to figure out the bill, and each one of us has to walk up to the bar to pay at the counter. After spending over $600 at this restaurant, I would've expected to be treated much better, not like a huge inconvenience. A tip for Marbel: don't treat your patrons like cattle after you give a large party such a small time frame to sit and enjoy their meal.
