Amazing from start to finish! Had dinner last night with 4 other ladies and EVERY single dish was my favorite! So hard to choose! The drinks, the service, the menu, the food…couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Don’t miss this place if you’re in town! Thank you Chef Jeremy!

What a culinary delight. I could eat everything on the curated menu but favorites include the octopus, cauliflower, ceviche, sweetbreads, and scallops. There aren’t many places where the owner and chef will greet you and come tableside to ensure your culinary experience is top notch. My first time was with a large group and there was not one complaint and only empty plates left our tables. The service and ambience is magnifique and I can’t wait to go back especially with my wife for a romantic meal. Merci Chef Jeremy ⭐️

This was our first time dining here after a friend went twice and couldn’t say enough good things about Marcel’s. We loved it. The food, service, and ambiance were all fantastic. We especially loved meeting and chatting with Jeremy, the owner and chef. It makes a difference to get to know someone personally when there are so many great restaurants in Sarasota this really adds a special touch. My husband had the beef bourginon and I had the seafood pasta. Both were delicious and a nice size portion. We started with the gazpacho which was just outstanding too. We loved the at they have creative mocktails as we are not big drinkers. We had the peach cobbler for dessert which was delicious. We will definitely be going back very soon and bringing friends.

This has to be the most slept on restaurant in all of Sarasota. Absolutely everything we had was fantastic. Three courses for 40.00 and half priced cocktails? (Assuming this is an off season promo)

Had a very well made old fashioned, tempura cauliflower, short rib, and a key lime pie. Hats off to the Chef. Not only was the food delicious, but you can tell these people care about the food they are putting out.

Micro cilantro when you could have gone cheaper with a longer shelf life, class move. I’m fairly certain the peas in the short rib dish were taken out of their pods 5 minutes before plating. They tasted outrageously fresh and delicious, and I don’t particularly love a pea.

The key lime pie was perfect, and obviously made in house. In a world of sad Sysco restaurant “food” finding a kitchen that has such obvious pride in the food they put out was awesome.

Service was great, super leisurely pace, parking was stupidly abundant. It was a cocktail kind of night, but the wine list was very reasonable with a decent amount of options available by the glass.

I will be back soon, and until then I’m officially your biggest hype man! Thanks for the great meal Chef.

The best restaurant we have found in Sarasota. I am a very accomplished home chef and I applaud the excellent and creative dishes we have had at Marcel DW. We have been there with parties of 6 and 7. The wow factor for the groups was universal. One of the few restaurants that we will continually go back to. Many kudos!

We’ve dined at Marcel’s twice and we love everything about it. We consider ourselves foodies. The food is not only delicious, it’s inventive. The pricing is more than fair. The only criticism is that my husband’s fries were too salty. Marcel’s is now on our restsurant list

Heard great things about this restaurant and it did not disappoint! Food was amazing., and the presentation was a good as the taste. They are doing an extended Savor Sarasota menu that is a steal for this quality of food. Our server Chris was the best as well. Give this place a try!

Easily one of the top 3 restaurants in Sarasota and one of our favorites. The food and the wine list are inspired and Chef/owner Jeremy is amazing. True Haut Cuisine has arrived in town and it’s called Marcel DW!! We are regulars when we are in town.

Overall, it is not bad. But, the biggest disappointment when you came to the place, especially for some dish, but they ran out of it. One of the scallops had a nasty shell that felt like I was eating a spoon of sand. They didn't even offer anything for the inconvenience. Also, i hat it when you are eating your dinner and the start to clean around. I had a better expectation in this place.
