Dinner at Marcel was an extraordinary experience. From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. The food was absolutely fantastic, with each dish bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The ambiance was chic and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a memorable evening. However, what truly made the night special was the impeccable service. Eric and his team were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we felt well taken care of. Their thoughtful recommendations and seamless service made the entire experience exceptional. Highly recommend Marcel for anyone looking for an outstanding dining experience!

Unreal! Service, it was exceptional, felt like we were living in NYC again! Every bite we had was amazing! Definitely get the off the menu burger if they have them left, one of the best burgers I have ever had. Bartenders were amazing!! Can’t wait to come back!

This place is amazing. Took my dad here as a treat to him since he's been going thru some medical treatments for some time. Thank you to Manager Vinnie and his staff for making it such a special night. The food and service is 10/10. Definitely get desert. Bringing my wife back here for Valentines. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Reservations are a must. This was my second time dining here, and both meals were amazing. Service was top-notch. My only complaint was that the jazz music was a lot louder than I would expect. Maybe it was due to our table location, but my table had to talk very loudly to hear each other over the music.

Marcel in Atlanta offers a great steakhouse experience with a really cool atmosphere that sets the mood for an enjoyable night out. The steaks were cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, and the sides were delicious and perfect for sharing, adding to the overall dining experience. The wine list is impressive, with plenty of options to complement your meal. However, the service left something to be desired—it was a bit on the slow side, which dampened the experience slightly. Unfortunately, we also found a piece of plastic in our shrimp appetizers, which is definitely not what you expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Despite these issues, the quality of the food, especially the steaks, makes Marcel worth a visit, though the service could use some fine-tuning to match the high standards of the cuisine.

I’ve been wanting to come here for over a year now. It definitely didn’t disappoint! But it’s not a place I would frequent often. Mainly because I didn’t enjoy the table seating style, I prefer to not sit so close to other guests. As for the food, everything was above satisfactory (videos attached).

This past weekend my husband and I celebrated our anniversary and Erin gave us such a great dinning experience. She offered great recommendations from drinks all the way through desserts. The service and food were exceptional. We highly recommend this establishment if you are looking for an intimate and romantic ambiance. Don’t forget to request Erin.
