Marston's Restaurant Description:
Marston's is located in a converted private house on Walnut Street. Dining is available on the front patio or inside. It specializes in breakfasts and light lunches. The atmosphere is contemporary and homey, with large windows and lots of light wood.
There's always a wait for breakfast on weekends.
If Aunt Bea had set out to conquer the Mayberry restaurant scene, she would have built a charming little cottage just like this. With its railed porch, frilly curtains and dried flowers, this homey eatery exudes warmth. Otis Marston and wife Sally opened their eponymous restaurant just north of Old Town in 1988, and Jim McCardy has run Marston's since 2001. The old-fashioned comfort food includes breakfasts of hollandaise-enhanced omelets, sourdough french toast breaded with cornflakes and macadamia nut pancakes. The lunch menu features terrific white bean chili, fish tacos, creative sandwiches and a California orange salad (chicken, greens, avocado, oranges, blue cheese, apples and candied pecans in a garlicky dressing) served with oven-fresh cheese popovers. Leave room for the bread pudding. Expect to stand in line for weekend breakfast. Wednesday through Friday nights, chef McCardy cooks more sophisticated dinner fare, dishes like tempura sea scallop salad with peanut-coconut dressing and bluenose sea bass with saffron-artichoke risotto.
