A little about this place
About Maro's Bistro
Maro's is a Lebanese kitchen and bar at 135 Kerr Street in Oakville, a casual, cozy room with a bar on site, a patio out front and dogs welcome inside and out. The menu is built for sharing: mixed grill platters - 'The Secret' among them - mezze and dips, and kebabs, in portions large enough that sharing is the sensible approach.
Vegan and gluten-free options are on the menu and the kitchen is used to allergy requests. Google's listing records alcohol, beer, wine, cocktails and hard liquor alongside coffee, brunch, dinner, catering, dessert, free parking and wheelchair-accessible seating, entrance, parking and washroom. It is rated 4.6 on Google from 3,008 ratings. The kitchen is not always consistent from visit to visit, and table cleanliness comes up often enough to be worth a look before settling in.

Things to keep in mind
- Two distinct reviewers who had eaten here before described the cooking slipping on a later visit - kebabs across several plates dry and one burnt black in one account, bland and heavy dishes in another.
- Three distinct reviewers raised seating and cleanliness: uncomfortable wall bench seating, a table left with a film from a dirty cloth that a server would not re-clean, and dirty seat cushions.
- One reviewer was seated in direct sun through the front glass with no shade and no alternative table; one reviewer found the dining room unheated and cold enough that food cooled within two minutes.
- One reviewer was asked to change tables four times and found the service afterwards hostile; one reviewer found the restaurant's social-media persona off-putting relative to the kitchen.
