High end restaurant if you're looking for a night to remember. Best service I ever had and we're talking over 75 restaurants visited in Atlanta. My daughter had a shrimp cocktail and she said it was okay. My girlfriend had the Oysters and wasn't to impressed. All our steaks were cooked exactly how we wanted them. The side dishes are definitely for a group of at least 5 people. Try the mushrooms. No military discount, but the guy worked off over $45 on the bill. Nice gesture. Great experience and I'd go back.
Marcel was amazing. Food was top notch. Service was amazing, and the atmosphere had me feeling like I was in a Italian mob movie. Lvord every corner of the place. Steak was cooked beautifully, sides are so tasty I wanted to lick the dish. Great place for a date or a night out.
The restaurant is amazing! The service and staff are phenomenal! Never experienced service like this before. The food was delicious, one of the many best steaks I have had, literally melts like butter. Will definitely be coming back again.
The star dish for me was the porterhouse steak. Perfectly cooked & seasoned. The seafood appetizer was also fresh & delicious. We started with a round of cocktails and then a bottle of Merlot. I didn't love my gin cocktail. It was served in a tall glass with a lot of ice. I found it hard to sip on and the ice quickly watered down the drink. I'm not a huge fan of ice in gin drinks. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their cocktails though.
For sides, we ordered pommes frites, asparagus, and mushrooms. The asparagus and mushrooms were delicious, but I was a bit disappointed by the fries. After hearing that they were twice fried, I found them to be a bit mushy and flavorless. The desserts were delicious. Chocolate cake & sticky toffee pudding with a dessert wine.
Overall, great customer service and delicious food would recommend it.

I love the ambiance and it was good, but I will say I had higher expectations as a Michelin-recommended restaurant at this price point.
Service: Our original dinner plans fell through; so we were a walk-in but were seated immediately. Our server was good and had excellent recommendations. I had a white and a red wine by the glass, poured by two different people. The white was nearly double the pour of the red, which was the last glass of the bottle. I expected him to return to top it off, but that didn’t happen. Disappointing for a $20+ glass. But generally great service, in my opinion.
Food: This isn’t one of those fancy restaurants with tiny portions. These are generous plates. I enjoyed the escargot—it was not chewy or salty whatsoever, and had a pleasant herbaceous, garlic, earthy broth. The burger was great. I mean, it was a $38 burger with no sides, so I would expect it to be. I’d go again and sit at the bar to split a burger and fries, which is an odd thing to say about a high-end French restaurant. The au jus and marrow aioli make it a treat. The steak frites was underwhelming for the price point. The cut is a spinalis, the cook was rare on a medium rare order, some pieces were a bit chewy, and it was absolutely slathered in the sauce verte. I’d try it on the side and/or go for the au poivre. It was a lot (see pic). For $50, it isn’t really comparable to Tiny Lou’s ($55, 13 oz NY strip), or even the $34 Salt Factory hanger steak with chimichurri. I’m sure I will come back again, but as a steak frites girl who has had this dish hundreds of times, that won’t be what I get.
What an experience!! Service and food are unreal, thought is put into everything they do. From the moment you sit down you are treated so well and food is delicious and steaming hot when it gets to the table. Celebrating my anniversary with my husband here and they surprised us with the stampped menus and gave us a complimentary drink, amazing so say the least!
I had a dinner date here in May and it was so wonderful. We have been checking off Ford Fry restaurants and this was a great experience and delicious food. We each ordered a cut of steak and tried 2 different potatoes- the whipped one with cheese was a MUST. We tried escargot for the first time and it was delicious too. The bread service was out of this world. The staff was very courteous of our time and helped answer any questions we had. We will definitely be returning for special events.
This was one our of many visits to Marcel. My husband and I celebrated our 21st anniversary yesterday. All of our visits has been wonderful but this recent visit was absolutely amazing!! So amazing I was left in tears ( happy tears)❤️. Our server Xaviér was absolutely superb!!!!! His personality and personal touch and attention to us was beyond unmeasurable! We had our usual Beef Wellington, salad, Pommes Dauphinoise, and oysters……. of course chef’s kiss. Marcel is truly our most favorite restaurant!!! Thank you for an amazing evening!
An amazing dinner. Benita was so friendly and welcoming the wine she recommend to pair with our steak was phenomenal.
Scallops were delicious, but the star stealer was the porterhouse. Perfectly cooked. All the sides were delicious as well had the puree, frites, asparagus, and cacio de pepe.
Overall everyone went above and beyond which I really appreciated as I was celebrating a friend who bought his first home.
Will definitely be coming back in the future.
Hard to find but it upstairs across from shake shack. A very unassuming place, intimate but the service is amazing and so is the food. We had the oysters, NY strip, creamed corn, lobster risotto and baked Alaska. It was all delicious and well prepared and presented. No detail left out. The highlight had to be the baked Alaska. This isn't your everyday meal place but awesome for a date night.
What a beautiful experience! Changed my mind at the last minute and decided to go here. I didn't have a reservation, but the host and hostesses were so accommodating! They got us in and then we had Michael and Anthony as our servers and they we absolutely amazing as well! Our food was delicious and so filling! I cannot wait to return to Marcel for another amazing experience!
I am visiting from Chicago and had an absolutely remarkable experience at Marcel. From the moment we arrived to our departure, the dining experienced was engaging, personalized, and intentional. The wait staff, led by Nick, did a tremendous job of treating my friend and I like old friends. They all were attentive without being overly disruptive. The courses were all delicious. As someone who enjoys dining at high-end steakhouses all around the country, this experience was the BEST I have ever had. The steak was cooked beautifully, and the sides were tremendous. Nick’s recommendation of an off menu drink (The Last Word) elevated the experience even further. Incredible drink! Concluding with the sticky toffee cake and chocolate cake, everything was fantastic and memorable. I can’t wait to return for another experience at Marcel. Thank you!
Fabulous meal and attentive service. We had the filet and bone in strip (pictured), with an assortment of sides (shout-out to the gnudi, pommes aligot). Definitely recommend!
Loved celebrating our one year anniversary here. The food and service were both impeccable! A nice touch was the "Happy Anniversary" on the menu as well as on our crème brûlée :)
First time to Marcel, but definitely not my last. This is a terrific spot for amazing steaks. But it’s not just the steak. While that’s the main attraction, I was thrilled with EVERY menu item we tried. Starting with the delicious bread and our shrimp cocktail appetizer. Both were special. And then even the sides really caught my attention. The pommes dauphinoise was a hit - the whole table couldn’t stop talking about it. And the creamed corn au gratin was absolutely delicious. Ok, coming back to the steak, it was perfectly cooked, exactly as I ordered, and it couldn’t have been better. Finally, the service was outstanding. Some of the best I’ve had in Atlanta.
I came here for my bday dinner and definitely was not disappointed. It felt like I stepped back in time and I was on the set of the movie Goodfellow lol. It was moody and sultry with candle lit vibes. The service was amazing and the food was top tier 👌. They start you with this amazing flavourful bread. I ordered the shrimp for appetizer which was well seasoned and spicy. I even saved the sauce it was in for my branzino entrée which I opted for the Oscar version I believe. In short, definitely a must experience.
We celebrated two birthdays and it was a great evening. Service was great, and the food was amazing.
