We were very happy with our service and meal. Traveling in February in any part of Europe is met with some of the local establishments open for limited hours.
After walking past several restaurants and reviewing the menus, we decided to take a chance.
I had the most delicious Scallops with risotto and a Ratatouille-veggie mixture and my husband had a steak cooked a little too rare, but he loved it anyway. Ordering food in another country is always a bit difficult... but we genuinely enjoyed this meal and the atmosphere.
It was amazing how efficient this small staff handled a packed house on a Tuesday evening!
It was our anniversary dinner and it did not disappoint. -

Atmosphere was nice and table linens were lovely. An adorably well dressed child seated us. Order placed, rec'd the complimentary appetizers which were tasty. Soup 'broth' was next, composed croutons were the tastiest part of the meal. Next course more broth plus portions of several types of seafood. Lost the connection between which type of fish was which, but it was not at all what we hoped for. The meal took three frustrating hours and cost over €200. We were enamored with Marseille so let it go, but we suggest making another choice.

Miramar, A Treacherous Tourist Trap
It seems like a second yelp account as created to boost the horrible reviews of the first one.
Warning signs: Two yelp accounts, Harbor location in a highly touristic area, bad wine, clientele entirely tourists, laminated english menu, outrageous prices, misleading website.
Food: Vastly disappointing. In place of real technique, miramar relies on use of pomp & show, truffles, grease, and free giveaways to alter impression. The bouillabaisse soup is served from a vat. If you order the seafood soup appetizer, it is the same soup ladled from the same keep-warm vat. The 7-hour lamb was alright, at best. The Octopus main course was mediocre in presentation and taste. At 69€ per person, The Bouillabaisse was completely overpriced and a confusing experience.
Wine: 68€ per bottle is the lowest price point. We got a bottle of both red and white. Unfortunately it was suspiciously of the same taste and body of a sub 10€ bottle from monoprix, the grocery store chain.
Service: Slightly demeaning, Extremely slow (1 hour 10 minute time from ordering till food arriving)
Price: €400 for a party of 6 including a child.
Please go if you would like a humorously bad cultural experience, to see what it's like to be a taken advantage of as a tourist. -

You should avoid here as much as possible.
Pros: good views and environment.
Cons: Waiting too long time, inpatient waiters/waitress, and overpriced food.
If you must come here, please remember that DO NOT order the "tray of fish", which is 138 euro for 2 people. Firstly they will show you a big tray of cooked fish, then they will take it away and tell you that they will help you to cut the fish into small pieces. Finally you will get 2 small plates of fish like the photo I attached (do you believe that it's 69 euro?).
I guess that the fish in the final dishes was not the one in the original tray. In other words, they changed it. Because 1) the original one in the tray was big and various, but the final one in the plate was so simple. 2) The final fish we got was warm outside but cold inside, and had been re-heated obviously. 3) the waitress cut the fish in a corner we cannot see, rather than near our table. -

Rip off. Good location, albeit touristy.
Uni was delicious (28 euro).
Bouillabaisse was reasonable but certainly not worth 65 euro per person.
I have had better ones elsewhere, in France and in America, much less expensive.
Service, OK.
102 euro lunch one person, value zilch.
