About Marcel

Marcel is a high-caliber restaurant that offers a nice intimate dining experience, reminiscent of an old New York City steakhouse. The decor is great, and the service provided by the staff is outstanding from check-in to departure. Guests can expect attentive and friendly service, with staff recognizing special occasions like anniversaries and birthdays. The portions of the steaks and other entrees are generous, encouraging guests to come with a hearty appetite. The experience from beginning to end is not short of perfection, with the owners and management crafting a unique and special atmosphere. While the restaurant maximizes its floor space and number of diners, leading to some noise from adjacent tables, the overall dining experience remains positive.

The food is properly prepared and outstanding in every way, from the phenomenal bread service to the bone marrow appetizer and cowboy ribeye. Oysters Marcel are noted as a favorite, although some may find the portion size small for the price. Desserts like baked Alaska, which is a delightful interpretation combining chocolate chip cookie sundae and s'mores, and the exceptional pumpkin pie add to the memorable experience. The 30 oz. Porterhouse steak is cooked to perfection, with the filet melting in the mouth and the N.Y. strip offering wonderful taste. Side dishes like roasted mushrooms in wine complement the meal without overwhelming it. Desserts, such as creme brulee and a 10-layer cake, are also exceptional. The French onion soup is a good starter. The staff’s attention to detail and friendly service help make each visit special, ensuring a consistently excellent experience. Marcel is a great choice for special occasions, with the quality of food and service making it memorable and worth the splurge.
