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.

    The restaurant was good, the Cote de Boeuf was excellent. the escargot were okay. Marcel Salad was okay, not enough blue cheese. seafood tower was hit and miss: shrimp were very good, scallopps were cut too thick, one type of oysters were very good from east coast, the gulf oysters were too big and chewy. Crab and lobster were very good, however, we had mentioned an allergy and they did not seperate it on the seafood tower, they did make it right at the end. The Manhantthan was one of the best i've had, and well worth the 46$. great wine list. service was well rounded and the team was approachable and efficient. would go back and try again!

    It was a really nice restaurant that I would definitely recommend for anyone to come at some point. However, atleast for our first occasion coming for a birthday, it was definitely a lot less intimate than we both had expected. Intimate meaning, quieter, darker ambiance, and quieter and slower jazz music. But this was definitely not the occasion for that, but also not a demerit at all against it. We will definitely be coming back here for just celebratory or special occasions rather than dinner needing intimate time. And I would like to repeat, this isn’t a bad thing, it’s just like how different restaurants have different vibes. Furthermore, also contributing to its upbeat and lively atmosphere had to definitely do with the people as everyone seemed to be having a good time and was pretty talkative. This can be good or bad depending person to person. But it fits the vibe as stated before. Food was wonderful and not bad at all. Though the question of whether or not this restaurant is good or not definitely shouldn’t be factored in by food, as it is kinda given haha. Thank you for your time!!

    Everything was wonderful from the moment we walked in until we left. Food was exceptional and our server Ken went up and beyond to help celebrate my daughter’s 21st bday. We will definitely be back!

    We celebrated a special occasion my wife and I, first time there, it was a bit crowded, tables close together and a large crowd of 10-12 people so needless to say it was quite loud. The rooms were dimly lit so a bit dark but some like that. The food was ok and the French cuisine was a nice touch. However, I felt it was a bit overpriced. Overall though it was a good evening the service is very good and the servers quite attentive

    What a wonderful experience! I loved the ambience and authentic flair of the restaurant. Def giving vibes of prohibition speak easy - which was tons of fun. My 30 ounce is in eye which I shared was very tasty. The New York Strip was nicely flavored but neither steak was especially tender. Loved the charred look and taste. Upon entering the hostess was a bit dismissive, instructing me to sit until my 3rd guest arrived; no problem with that but asking me to sit as opposed to telling me would have been appreciated. Once seated, Omar was exceptional (!), greeting us and making sure we were well taken care of. Team awareness worked well as everyone was timely serving our food and drinks until after the meal, when dishes sat on the table longer than necessary before dessert. Blueberry pudding cake excellent. Crème brûlée delicious, but not creamy, more ‘custardy’. Appreciate the staff congratulating my daughter on her graduation achievement - that special touch goes a long way. It’s a very expensive meal and things should be perfection for start to finish. I will certainly try again in the future. Cheers, Marcel.
