Marrakesh is a quaint little eat on the corner of:
1201 NW 21st Ave Portland, OR 97209-1608 - (503) 248-9442
This is a Moroccan establishment, so if you are new to that type of food you are in for a treat! The servers bring five courses and the presentation is great. Prior to each course, the servers bring a hand washing station so that you may clean your hands, which is also pretty unique and fun for a first date.
The server was very attentive and made sure that our needs were cared for at all points during the meal. I believe the most interesting thing about how this place is setup is the fact that you actually sit on pillows. This may be rather odd to some, but I found it very cool and rather fun. I know that some patrons may have issues sitting on a pillow which offers similar support to say a fitness body ball; however, they do have traditional seating as well for the faint at heart.
I would say that the food is great, the service is great, and the atmosphere is a total romantic getaway to take any lady friend or even to bring a large group for a new experience.
I did go on a Tuesday evening during the 'dinner rush' and I no problems whatsoever getting a seat almost immediately. This is a huge bonus when checking out a new hip place to go.
Food quality: Good
Price: Spendier than some NW 21st spots, but worth the difference
Service: AMAZING! Very ATTENTIVE
Attitude: Thank you for giving us the chance to serve you tonight!
Final Conclusion: This place ROCKS! Go back and bring friends.
