2nd time coming to Marcels and it did not disappoint. We went for our 10 year anniversary and everything about Marcels- food, atmosphere, service made our anniversary dinner very special, they even gave us an extra dessert plate that said Happy Anniversary. Our server Enrique was amazing, he delivered top notch upscale service, always ready to place our napkins when we sat, kept our food and drinks coming perfect timing, and was funny and personable talking to us like family. Everyone was very nice. Every dish was delicious, impressive and unique which is what we love most. The only things I would change is to bring back the caviar appetizer item and the escargo they had on the menu about 6 years ago it was amazing, also the desserts were not as impressive with taste, and the 1st time it was like the waiters were hiding but were always right there on point refilling and serving you when needed I missed that lended to a fun mystery experience. But still a very special place and we will be back for other special occasions.
Very fun experience. A bit formal atmosphere, expensive, and quiet. Servers made it enjoyable and casual feeling despite the setting. Food of course was exquisite and presentation among the best in DC.
Love this restaurant. Service is always on point. The food is served as a custom tasting menu, wine pairings can be put together on request. The dishes rotate so the menu is never stale, and they're executed to a level of perfection that you'd expect from a Michelin restaurant. This is a dining experience not just a restaurant with good French cuisine.
The food was just incredible and delicious. Very elegant dinning and with very attentive service. Thank you Enrique for a warm welcome and amazing service. This place is definitely on the books the come back.
Had an amazing experience with an Italian themed dinner using French grapes grown in Italy - very cool fusion! The service was incredible, the food was delicious, and we had a wonderful time!
MAGNIFICENT Marcel’s is a classic DC dining establishment that epitomizes the pinnacle of elegance and service. I love the restaurant has a JACKETS REQUIRED requirement for guests; a rare and welcome change to the flip flops and shorts found in other establishments. Staff was amazingly courteous, knowledgeable, and efficient, ensuring our service was excellent. We savored the three course fixed price menu offerings. Each dish was perfectly prepared, elegantly plated, and served at a relaxed pace. We will be back when we need our fix of elegant dining!!
We had a great evening dining at Marcel’s. They do a great job setting up the atmosphere there to enjoy dinner and your company. Food was delicious and the service was prompt and very attentive. Highly recommended to make a reservation and visit.
A true fine dining experience. Our main waiter Johnathan was amazing in explaining the menu. We decided to go with a 5 and 6 course experience. All portions are 5 to 6oz big but with 5 courses it was plenty to include a dessert. Everything was perfectly cooked with amazing flavors. They even made it very special for our Anniversary. We tried everything on that menu and every item was delicious. We will definitely be back.
