A candlelit table at Marlow's Kitchen, mid-service
Neighborhood bistro & terrace

Your mate, right where your guests already message.

Marlow answers menu, hours and booking questions the moment someone reaches out — live on the web tonight, and shown here exactly as it will look once Marlow's Kitchen's WhatsApp number goes live.

The room

A dining room and a terrace, not a drive-through.

Wood-fired mains, a short cocktail list, and a terrace that stays open past the kitchen's last table on a warm night. Marlow's Kitchen seats 46 inside and 22 on the terrace, plus bar seating for walk-ins.

Table & terrace

Getting a table shouldn't need a phone call.

Ask Marlow for a time and party size — it opens an inline form right in the chat for the details, one tap to submit, instead of asking for them one by one.

Try it: "Do you have a table for 2 tonight at 7:30?"
Try it: "I'd like to book a table" (Marlow opens the form)

Booking policy

  • Tables held 15 minutes past the booking time.
  • Parties of 1–8 book online or on WhatsApp; 9+ message us for the private-dining pack.
  • 48 hours' notice for a cancellation, where possible.
  • Closed Monday. Weekend brunch runs Fri–Sun until 15:00.
A faithful preview

See the WhatsApp thread, before the number exists.

Marlow's Kitchen's Meta number is still being connected — the section below is not a mock-up or a recording. It's the exact live assistant, dressed the way the conversation will look inside WhatsApp the moment that number goes live.

What changes once the number is real

The same brain, knowledge and tools above — just reached the way Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform actually works.

1

A guest messages first

A "Message us" link, a QR code on the table, or a saved contact opens WhatsApp with Marlow's Kitchen's number pre-filled — the guest always starts the conversation, never the business.

2

Meta's Cloud API delivers it

The message arrives over Meta's WhatsApp Cloud API webhook, gets normalized into the same conversation shape as the web chat, and Marlow answers from the same menu and policies shown above.

3

The 24-hour window, then templates

Marlow can reply freely for 24 hours after the guest's last message. After that, only a pre-approved template message (a booking reminder, say) can restart the thread — standard WhatsApp Business rules, same as any provider.

Under the hood

Everything above, and why it works

Nine things this page actually does, each with the exact doc for adding it to your own site.

The chat, from one script tag

The bubble in the corner (and the phone above) is the live product on a workspace of its own. One line of HTML put it there.

Try: "What's good for two people who don't eat meat?"
How to add this to your site →

Grounded in Marlow's own words

The menu, hours and booking policy above were published to the workspace as text. Answers quote it and cite it; anything outside it gets an honest "I don't know".

Try: "Are you open Monday?"
How to add this to your site →

It can work the page

This site publishes its own actions — check a table, book one, search the menu. Ask for one and watch it happen without a form.

Try: "Is Saturday at 7 open for 6 people?"
How to add this to your site →

It reaches the systems behind the page

Marlow's Kitchen runs a small MCP server of its own, connected to the workspace. The menu and the floor plan come from there over HTTPS — the same answer whether or not this tab is open.

It knows who's asking

Sign in as the demo guest below and Marlow can pull up that guest's own reservations — through the page's own tools, for that guest and nobody else.

Try (signed in): "What are my reservations?"
How to add this to your site →

A person can take over

Ask for a person and the thread lands in the team inbox, mid-conversation — the same handoff works on WhatsApp once it's live, no restart, no ticket number.

Try: "Can I talk to someone about a private event?"
How to add this to your site →

Readable without a browser

An agent that never renders this page can still work with it: a plain-text brief, a tool manifest, and the live schema behind every booking action.

Useful before anyone signs in

Signed out, the menu, hours and availability are still answerable — to a guest and to any agent. Only a guest's own reservations wait for a signed-in proof of who's asking.

Try: "What time do you open Friday?"

Honest about what isn't live yet

The WhatsApp preview above is labeled exactly for what it is — a real assistant, a faithful wrapper, no invented phone number. Nothing on this page claims a channel that doesn't exist yet.

Sign in and Marlow already knows your reservations

A throwaway demo guest is provided — no password, no real person.

Signed out — Marlow only sees what a guest can see.

Demo guest: Riley Chen, phone +1-555-0142, one upcoming table for 2 on Sep 18 at 19:30. A throwaway public demo identity, not a real person.

From regulars

Faster than calling, they say

"Booked our anniversary table over a chat in under a minute — Marlow even held the corner booth we asked for."

PT
Priya T.Regular, Tuesdays

"Best short rib in the neighborhood, and getting a table is genuinely easier than phoning during service."

SO
Sam O.First-time guest

"Mentioned a dairy allergy before we even arrived, and the kitchen had already sorted it by the time we sat down."

Before you message us

A few things people ask first

Do I need a reservation, or can I just walk in?
Bar and terrace seats are first-come. The dining room is best booked ahead — easiest by messaging Marlow.
Is there parking?
Street parking, plus a public lot two blocks north on Elm.
Can the kitchen work around an allergy?
Tell Marlow when you book — the kitchen can flag or adjust most dishes for common allergens.
What about a party of 9 or more?
Message us for the private-dining pack — Marlow can point larger groups the right way, and a person picks it up from there.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes — digital gift cards sent by text or WhatsApp, no expiry.
