With a creative approach & dedicated passion to its cuisine, Marlow Bistro evokes the feeling of being in a European garden with its bright & charming décor which features exposed brick and an exposed original wood beam ceiling with industrial light fixtures & greenery placed throughout; the warm & welcoming space is complimented by the view across the street of the stunning Gothic architecture of the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine.
