One of the highest quality restaurants we have ever been to in the US. We love good food and trying new places, and Marcel takes the top prize. Each dish, drink, and member of the staff, was excellent. You won’t regret this experience. It was quite dark, but our eyes eventually adjusted.

Wonderful and memorable dining experience. Ate here for my 11th anniversary and received a stamped menu keepsake. Nice touch. Bread was on point! We had the steak tartare to start and split the Beef Wellington & famous potatoes for dinner. Had to end with the chocolate cake and take a burger to-go. Great service. Perfect dinner.

We had an absolute amazing night for my birthday. From the time we walked in, I was impressed. Our server made great wine and menus suggestions and he was on point because everything was delicious. Kevin was amazing, he did an awesome job. Also thank you Allison, for the desert recommendation,it was great.

Thank you for an amazing night.

Mark was our server, and we were very impressed. Great recommendations and informative about the menu! Very aware of my family's and friend's allergies!!! The food was ABSOLUTELY ON POINT!!! It is mine, my wife's, and my best friends birthdays and they didn't let us forget! The desert was the topping on the cake!

Can't thank everyone enough for a fantastic experience.

The ambiance was pleasant, and our server, Mr. Bryce, was extremely professional. He provided a thorough explanation of the menu and accommodated our request to have the kids' food served earlier, which was promptly done. Despite initially receiving noodles with a flavor issue, Mr. Bryce graciously replaced them. The onion soup was slightly cold and overly salty, but the steak was satisfactory, and the dessert was delightful. Overall, we had a wonderful time. However, our experience was marred by the initial encounter with Chelsea at the entrance. Despite my wife being pregnant and it being her birthday, Chelsea kept us waiting, stating that we needed to be a complete party or a group of six before being seated. Even after all our guests had arrived, she continued to keep us waiting for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, which was disappointing given the occasion.

This was our second time and it definitely was not like the first time! The first time was absolutely to die for. Steak was amazing and they even wiped the crumbs off the table for you during the meal.

This second time, the steak was very very charred and not well seasoned . Lobster and rice was super salty. Bread is always a hit but definitely didn’t feel like the first time. Not sure if I’ll be back.

This is mine and my husband's second time here to celebrate another special occasion. The first time was back in 2021 and we really enjoyed it. We enjoyed it so much we wanted to come back and try one of their speciality dinner as our meal. We ordered the Beef Wellington. We called 24 hours in advance to request it for our meal.

When we were seated, we were greeted and thanked for considering them for our special occasion. The servers brought out a griddled focaccia bread in olive oil, along with ricotta cheese, olives and peppers. It was very delicious and even our three year old who joined us for dinner really enjoyed it. We didn't have to wait long for the Beef Wellington to arrive at our table. We probably only waited 30 minutes or less before it was brought out to us. We ordered it medium as it was my husband's birthday and he likes his steaks medium. I would have preferred it was medium well. There were parts that were slightly chewy than others but I really think that had to do with how my husband wanted it cooked. It was still delicious especially eating it in that puff pastry. The beef Wellington accompanied our dinner with two shareable sides. We ordered the cacio e pepe and the creamed corn au gratin. Now I have had the cacio e Pepe before and didn't think too much of it but this second time was definitely different. It was so much more delicious the second time I had it. I felt like it had more of a buttery cheese taste to it than the first time I had it. The creamed corn was savory. The taste of the creamed corn had a deep and rich taste to it almost like eating au gratin potatoes.

For dessert my husband ordered the crème brûlée. I have had crème brûlée at another steakhouse and it was not even close to being as good as we had at Marcel. Marcel's crème brûlée is absolutely divine. The dish was deep enough for our spoon to go down into and it was delicious.

The restaurant is quite dark, too dark for me, even when heading to the bathroom. But I do understand that steakhouses usually have low lighting for the ambiance.

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.
