About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Romantic
Marcel is a first-rate steakhouse and bar in Atlanta’s Westside Provisions District. Named after Marcel Cerdan, the iconic French fighter and romantic, Marcel transports guests to the days when people appreciated every moment, when dull care was forgotten, when love lingered over the best meals – including, pound-for-pound, the best steaks money can buy. Indulge in our award winning wine list, recognized by Wine Enthusiast Magazine as one of America's 100 Best Wine Restaurants.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Ford Fry’s swanky Westside spot is where you go for the ultimate steak dinner and one of the city’s best wine lists. With burgundy leather seating and stunning antique mirrors, the dimly lit space is the perfect setting for digging into high-end steaks like a 30-ounce porterhouse for two topped with fancy sauces like lobster and brandy au poivre. Pro tip: get the baked Alaska, flamed tableside.

    It can definitely be tough to get a reservation here, especially on weekends . Marcel is tucked away upstairs in West Midtown, a bit subtle if you haven’t been before. They offer valet (priced based on how long you stay), or there's a nearby deck with 2-hour parking validation. As soon as you walk in, the atmosphere hits you in the best way. It feels like stepping into a classy 1950s steakhouse, complete with dim lighting, rich wood tones, vintage photos, and just the right background music. It almost has a speakeasy feel. The bar area is nice too - it's a square setup so people can sit around all sides, whether you’re grabbing a drink or just soaking in the ambiance. Even though the place was busy, it didn’t feel cramped at all; high ceilings and great layout help with that. Service was on point from the start. We were greeted quickly, had water and drinks going in no time, and the sommelier came by soon after to walk us through the wine list. Everyone we interacted with took their time, made thoughtful recommendations, and didn’t make us feel rushed. They also made a point to congratulate my wife on her new job, which was a really nice personal touch. Food-wise, everything we ordered was excellent. We had a couple of steaks (NY Strip and Filet), the brie starter, and finished with the baked Alaska. One thing to note—both steaks were very heavily salted. It might just be their style, but it did take away from the actual flavor of the meat a bit for us. The baked Alaska, though, was a standout; fluffy marshmallow exterior, strawberry ice cream, fresh berries, and a brandy sauce. It’s definitely a splurge spot - the steaks, wine, everything adds up quickly, and it’s priced higher than similar spots, even for the same bottles. But with the level of service and experience, it kind of makes sense. All in all, Marcel is a great choice for a special occasion, date night, or if you’re just in the mood for something a little different. We'll definitely be back.

    The food, ambience, and attention to detail and customer is superb. Hal’s is one of my favorite steakhouses but I think now I’ll pivot. Marcel’s is my number 1 pick!

    It was my wife’s birthday and a week before I spoke with someone about special requests; Everything requested went flawlessly. The food was amazing, drinks top tier and the ambiance was romantic with light noise. Kevin (our server), had a lovely personality and was the icing on the cake. I’m finding that this brand of restaurants are all equally lovely.
