Marcel DW offers a delicious and eclectic dining experience with a French influence, making it the closest to European dining in downtown Sarasota. The chef prepares dishes from individual ingredients, ensuring carefully composed flavors and pleasing presentations. Highlights include Brussels sprouts lyonnaise, beets, Moules frites, salmon, snapper, scallops, hanger steak, and the special tiramisu dessert. The restaurant features small plates like the avocado smashed salad, ceviche with a tropical twist, and tempura cauliflower. Customers appreciate the good value, especially during special menus like Savor Sarasota, which allows choosing any appetizers or entrees plus dessert for $45. Many reviewers recommend the grilled octopus, scallops, and rack of lamb, noting the food is generally great and service is friendly. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is friendly, contributing to a fabulous dining experience. The menu is excellent without being overwhelming, and every option is creative and interesting. While some find the wine pour could be more generous, Marcel DW remains a go-to restaurant for many, offering vegetarian options, an excellent wine list, and cocktails. Overall, it is considered one of the better dining spots in Sarasota, with a focus on quality and flavor.
