About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Great for fine wines
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.

    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.

    The experience was amazing. I took my husband for his birthday. He had the 22 oz Ribeye and I had the chicken dish. Both were fantastic. My husband was very impressed with the “heavy hitter” Manhattan and said the ribeye was one of the best steaks he has ever had and is now #1 on his steak list Aaron was our waiter and was so knowledgeable and nice. Let’s not forget the main thing for me …. The chocolate cake !!!! Simply phenomenal. We will definitely return.

    Marcel was outstanding! From the first interaction as you enter, through to departure. The staff is helpful and pleasant. The waitstaff offers white table service and anticipates needs/wants. Food and drinks are excellent! Great for a business dinner or a special dinner date. Even the candle burning in the ladies room was memorable.
