Marleys Island Time

CLOSED! Now called Patio Delray…there is hope!

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon so a couple of friends and I decided to try out Marleys. Our first impression was «very cute» and «comfortable». It took our waiter about 10 minutes to get our drinks even though there was only 1 other table seated, another few minutes to take our order, and then the real wait began. After an HOUR I went into the bar area and asked if he could check on our food. The waiter then came out to explain that the rice cooker kept shutting off and it was taking a long time to cook the rice. Now granted, the rice was our SIDE dish. If we had been told this we would have changed our side dish. DUH!
However, once we did get our meals, I will say that the island-​style food was good. But one friend of mine ordered a burger and fries and he said it was awful.
I would only recommend going here if you have a few hours to kill. The outside patio is nice — could have used a bit more island ambience though. But don’t expect to just chill while sipping on a drink the whole time because the service is beyond slow.

The food here is great, but the service is on «Island Time.»
The weather turned out to be beautiful, so we ate outside. I loved the relaxing atmosphere with rocking patio chairs. Really comfortable.
Once the food came we were surprised with how good it was. Because they make everything fresh, they were out of most apps and sides, but what they did have was amazing. The corn mash and mac and cheese were crazy good! I’m definitely going back for more. The mango chutney was sweet, spicy and delicious. The curry’s and brown sauce were all good. I would stay away from the calamari. It was nothing special, and instead get the wings. The Jamaican flavor was spicy and differently delicious.
Next time I’ll request a different waiter. Definitely check this place out.
