Wonderful eclectic restaurant. We are vegetarians and they had several outstanding dishes. Excellent cocktails and wine list. Jeremy, the owner and chef, is an amazing host. A true gourmet experience.

We went for Valentine’s Day and tried out the set menu. Wow! You can tell that the chef picked and paired everything to perfection. Food was phenomenal! Our server, Reilly, was the sweetest and very knowledgeable. I wish I could include pictures but it was THAT good. The interior is also very beautiful. Can’t wait to go back to try out the regular dinner menu!

Food was fantastic, our server Riley did amazing, no long waits on drinks or food, and amazing drinks. If I lived closer I would be there every other night!

We had heard a lot about Marcel, but our first visit was quite underwhelming. First, our server was very “rough around the edges.” He interrupted whenever he came to our table and was only wearing a sleeveless T-shirt. In no way did he present a good impression. Second, I began by ordering a Manhattan, and it was thin and watery with too much ice. My partner had an Sazarac, and it was good. For an entrée I ordered the scallop dish which comes with mushrooms. I asked if I could substitute them for something else, and I was flatly told that was impossible. My partner had duck confit. Both our meals and the meals of our two friends who joined us were too salty. On the positive side, however, one of our friends had French fries, and they were terrific. I finished my meal with a crème brûlée, and it was good. Bottom line: I suppose we will go back again if someone wants to go, but it will never be my first choice.

This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal, the service here is one of a kind. Our server Jamie was very attentive and overall amazing. We got the roasted mushrooms as the appetizer & they were DELICIOUS. Everything we had to eat was breathtaking. I will be recommending this place to all my friends and family.

Sorry no pics. Went at 5 on a week night. Not busy. Some of the best food we have had out in a while. Not too salty, well balanced and interesting flavors. All of the ingredients seemed very high quality with each dish prepared exceptionally well. French tapas as the awesome server said! Awesome people working there. It was only the waitress running the front of the house. Hanger steak and fries, octopus, steak tartar, chicken palliard, string beans, mushrooms, brussel sprouts, and fried cauliflower all awesome.Super reasonable pricing which is refreshing!Nice outside seating options.Pro tip: parking is way easier on weekdays.Go here. It's super.

Our new favorite on Main St. We were greeted and seated by the owner/chef when we arrived. Our server and the bartender were friendly and super helpful. We had the arugula salad special, sautéed mushrooms, cauliflower tempura, scallops, snapper, and creme brulee. Every dish was a delight. And our server even guided us to the perfect cocktails and wine. Wonderful evening. We'll be back soon.

Delightful, professional, and engaging service, inspired and delicious food, and a relaxing atmosphere make Marcel our new Sarasota fave. The arugula salad, scallops, and creme brulee are must-haves.

I recommend this place to everyone who wants to surprise themselves or simply broaden their taste horizons. Each dish here is a delightful surprise, on which the chef insists, inviting you to embark on a journey into the world of flavors.We found ourselves here by chance late one evening after a hearty dinner with friends. However, that didn't save me from tasting foie gras with perfectly paired champagne.The wine list, presented by the friendly waitress who introduced herself as Fudi, can be explored for a long time, which we'll do on our next visit. Good luck and cheers!Vegetarian options: A wide selection of signature dishes for meat lovers and vegetariansParking: Street parking is paid
