Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The food was delicious but the service was poor. We went on a quiet day at lunch time so there were very few people and I would have expected prompt service. We waited by the register at entry for a good 5 minutes to be seated, I then asked to be sat outside as I have a 9 month old baby and I didn't want food dropped on the floor inside. We then had to go back inside to collect our menus, waitress suggested opening blind for us and I agreed saying that would be helpful thank you, then she left and didn't come back.. I went in to order, that was all fine. Shared entree came and the put it on the table and walked away. No cutlery, plates, serviettes, salt and pepper or anything. I walked back inside to get cutlery. Main meals came, they were delicious. We finished and left. When paying $60+ for a main meal $170 in total for my husband, baby and I, then I expect polite and reasonable service. I have had far better service at a regular Cafe.

Hi Casey, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. My apologies, first because regardless of where you were sitting you were meant to be given menus at least. I also don't think the wait staff explained that for anyone sitting on bar side or in our Muster Room area it's actually bar service, we don't take order on the tables in those spaces. Hope this experience doesn't deter you from dining with us again as your thoughts and comments have been taken on board to provide a better experience for both yourself and all guests who come to our restaurant.. Kind regards, Laura

Had a dinner for two at Marble and Grain and had an amazing experience. We ordered the steak board, which felt like great value for money, and were not disappointed at all with our food. The steaks were cooked perfectly medium and delicious. Our service throughout the night was attentive and particularly helpful in recommending the arancini balls and garlic bread for starters. Will be back again very soon!

Seriously one of the best meals we have ever had. The food was absolutely delicious - and menu offered plenty of variety. Our waiter was outstanding - he was attentive, courteous and very prompt. Particularly loved the oysters, arancini and the lemon pancetta. Definitely a 10/10 from us!

Staff were nice but soooooo slow and there were hardly any people in the restaurant. Our lunch order was mixed up so we sent back one of the side dishes and because we had been waiting for so long we didn’t reorder the original dish. We thought the steaks would come out last but they were first and then the other meals trickled out. The last meal, a quick lunchtime special, took the longest and was only just warm in the middle. The lunchtime special meals were fine (price wise) but the rest of the food was very overpriced - considering the timing and service. Don’t recommend this restaurant.

Terrible experience! Two mates of mine took me out to dinner to celebrate my birthday. We all ordered the 'Wagyu Scotch fillet 300g' steaks ($59 each) plus a few sides. We enjoyed the meals, but when the bill came, we realized we'd been served the top stake on the menu; 'Rib Eye Bone in 400g' ($90 each). None of us can tell the difference between a $59 steak and a $90 stake, we assumed we'd gotten the meals we ordered. The staff at Marble & Grain (manager included as we asked to speak to him) never acknowledged their mistake with our order and meals. I'M NEVER GOING BACK

Hi Doug H, Thank you for sending your feedback through and I’m sorry there has been a misunderstanding. We had this issue happening right in the beginning of our new menu when we changed the Scotch fillet to Wagyu scotch and since then we always make sure we double check if the customer ordered scotch and not what you got which was the Wagyu Rump (the rib eye bone in is $70). Since then whenever someone mentions wagyu we always repeat the order to emphasize you want the rump and not the scotch, which I know was done when Bipeen took your order. I also checked the cameras and the guy sitting with his back to the restaurant even points out to the wagyu rump on the menu, this is why my 2ic charged you for it, it is indeed what was ordered. Kind regards, Laura

Although the food was ok, as a couple dining and with only 1 eating steak I asked if there was an option for a half serve of mash potato which was met with attitude from wait staff informing me that the chef get peeved with this. I was told they could physically bring a half serve but full price would still need to be paid. Then a smaller than advertised steak was served to me. Left feeling hungry and as well as sad from the interaction from 2 different r staff members

We went to Marble & Grain for a celebratory dinner and it was just terrible. I cannot recall ever going to a restaurant with worse service, we waited an hour for two cocktails and the food service was also slo. I ordered a $75.00 special 21 day dry aged sirloin which was dry and not much better than a typical pub-fare steak. To top it off my wife found a shard of glass in her meal!! I raised this with the manager who offered to replace her meal or offered a free glass of wine but frankly it was terrible. Poor service, noisy, poor food and glass in the meal!!!??? Avoid this place there are many better restaurants in ACT

Service was acceptable. I ordered the 4 mos expensive steaks on the menu and only 1 of 4 was cooked as per my request (medium) the other 3 were overcooked making the overall experience poor. I dont know whethet miscommunication between waitress and kitchen was the issue oe if the chef wasn't wearing his glasses. I would not return to this restaurant

Overall we were all disappointed with Marble and Grain. For a pricey steak house, the steak was less than average. The two steaks were chewy, and so was the lamb. You have to buy all of the sides separately to the meal and so the overall cost ends up very high. Entrees were also expensive and underwhelming. We booked for a family of 8 for a birthday. However, despite the booking asking why you were coming, no acknowledgement was made by staff. Staff lacked knowledge about menu and drinks, and it felt more like a club than a nice restaurant. I went to this restaurant many years ago and it was wonderful. The staff would bring it a little desert with a candle for birthdays. The quality and service has severely dropped, however their prices have not. I would no longer recommend eating here.

To start with being New Year’s Eve decided to have Afew cocktails before dinner. No mint !!! So bang goes the majority what is on the list not available!! Comes to ordering well Wrong wine to our table ordered white not red and yes there is a major difference. The entree was something we could of bought at the local coles very underwhelming the oysters were not fresh and totally different sizes The main well we thought being a renowned restaurant for this we both ordered eye fillet not really caring at the price of over $50 per 200gr Absolutely terrible the chefs can’t even be bothered to remove the sinew !!! A total no go as it’s too tough to eat let online cut through. The only good thing was the young Nepalese man who served us very polite and keen to learn !! Considering this was a night away from our work issues as we are both chefs very dissatisfied with this restaurant so will not recommend at all Same time last year we came to eat but thought we would give it the benefit of the doubt Totally wrong Waste of $ as we are also staying at the Avenue

Hi Milliemoo19, Let me apologise on behalf of Marble and Grain as we did not exceed your expectations this time! As I am sure you can understand at this time of the year a lot of places are closed or don't do deliveries as frequently and unfortunately Mojitos wouldn't taste the same without mint, we do have lots of different cocktails to choose from though. The eye fillet is the leanest steak we have on the menu and it is usually what we recommend for someone who doesn't like the fat. It also doesn't mean there will be absolutely no fat at all, a little bit is always normal. Thank you for providing you feedback and let me assure we are taking it on board and hope we can improve from it! Kind regards, Laura

Mid range restaurant specializing in Steak. I was there 2 weeks before and really enjoyed the Scotch Fillet- Medium. So I went back to have it again. This time i was very disappointed. The steak was less than ordinary. After eating half, I could not eat the chey, rubbery, full of fatty chunks. My son had the same but his was good. I expressed my concern and was informed by the waitress that all steaks are of the same quality! I was taken aback by this. When paying the bill I expressed my concern to the manager and apart from paying the bill in full ($101 per head) the best re"sponse i got was "thank you for your feedback. Needless to say, I was also very unwell the next day.

Hi Vicees, The steaks are indeed all the same (supposed to be at least), sometimes some bits can have more fat than others but we'll be checking it with our supplier as we do expect them all to be consistent, this definitely shouldn't be happening! Please allow me to apologize from this underwhelming experience with Marble and Grain and appreciate you sending us this feedback as it allows us to improve it. Kind regards, Laura

We ordered the BBQ pork ribs and scotch fillet to medium. The Pork was good, but the scotch fillet was cooked to nearly well. We asked the waiter and she told us chef thought it was medium. They didn’t do anything wrong! But the fact was the meat tasted not tender at all! Your staff recommended us to change to Sirlion, the cheaper none. We did it. To be honest, it seemed like your chef didn’t cooked it seriously. When we paid the bill, they charged us the price of Scotch fillet, the one we just tasted. We asked your staff why they did so, they answered because it was our fault to choose the wrong type of steak. We need to pay for it. Furthermore, the attitude of your supervisor or your manager was not good at all.

We were visiting Canberra and chose Marble and Grain based on their location, website reviews and being open Sunday night! The food was outstanding! We shared the steak tasting plate and had the roast corn side. Each cut had its own flavour and we couldn’t decide which one we liked more. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly to medium and was melt in your mouth juicy and tender. Will definitely come back next time we’re in Canberra. Thank you!

My $70 steak was in part inedible. I would think that a $70 steak would not consist of gristle and fat......I expressed my disappointment to the staff who didn't even offer a discount. I have several business lunch's in the week but will not be coming back.

Hi RichardbZ6169EC, I'm sorry to hear you had an issue with the Rib Eye on this occasion. Our team did our normal procedure to check on the meals while you were eating but nothing was mentioned then, if so we happily would have replaced your steak. You only brought it up when you were paying the bill and they immediately removed the side from the bill. Kind regards, Laura
