Since opening last year, Sushi Marquee has done a lot. Delighted patrons with good sushi and impressive cocktails. Opened for lunch.

Starting on October 29 and occurring each Monday, the fun-loving Japanese-inspired concept will be known as Steak Marquee, because that’s when it rolls out its new Monday night special. For just $25, diners will receive a 16-ounce ribeye and a 16-ounce beer, which is a whole lot of steak and beer for not a lot of cash. Continue reading →
