TL;DR -$800 for two couples (Overpriced food / mediocre service) Go elsewhere! Visiting Marcel is like an assault on your senses. How this place got a Michelin recommendation is beyond me. Someone forgot that the temperature for hanging their meat should be different than the dining room. Make sure to bring a warm coat - you'll most certainly need it. With the ambiance of an old steakhouse, you'd expect some subdued background music but instead you are subjected to unbearable off putting jazz. If White Claw had a sound, this would be it. Not sure if they don't know how bad it is, or if it is intentional to turn the tables quicker. Either way, it's a huge fail. As a birthday dinner we went all out ordering the $200 a pop Beef Wellington. By the way, you don't just show up for this, they dictate you must order 24 hours in advance. When friends called ahead to place the order we were told we could order 1, 2 or 4. Are we ordering steak or gambling? Turns out, we gambled and odds are in favor of the house. The person on the other end of the phone provided no guidance just wanted to know which it would be. We guessed 2 but were wrong. Correct answer would have been 0, and just show up and take your chances with the regular menu. But if you must order it, 1 is fine for the table as the huge slab. How this employee didn't know that is beyond me. A big disappointment was being told there'd be a wait for our wellington despite ordering in advance. Mind you, at this point we'd ordered appetizers so they could have and should have paced our main entree- we had ordered 24 hours prior. Instead our server decided to take the opportunity to ask us to order more food in the interim. No thanks. Fifty, yes 50, minutes later we were delivered 2 RARE beef wellingtons, NOT medium as we ordered. A point of pride is that they don't cook it until you arrive so it is "the perfect temp". They present the whole finished product on the table then take it away to slice it for you. By this time, we'd lost interest in the showmanship and were just interested in tasting this $200/pop steak. One bite in and the biggest question for this underdone cut of beef was do we spit it out in our napkins or just try and get some of it down by chasing it with water? But at least the service was on point right? Nope. They try to impress you with multiple servers, but they don't communicate well with each other, so you have to repeat yourself to servers, which only makes your meal even less enjoyable. With tip for two couples we spent $800. It kind of feels like being the victim of a grift. You've just been swindled out of a chunk of money but feel too stupid to complain so you just go with it. We really leaned into it, evening staying for dessert. They only have four on the menu and our server took our order only to come back and tell us they were out of creme brulee. That's on us for trying to end our meal on sweet note.
