Restaurants near Underground Atlanta Historic District

Beautiful restaurant that’s decor is more on the modern side. Went on a Saturday nite and there was not a lot of patrons so we were a little worried about the quality of food and service especially since neighboring restaurants seemed packed. Much to our delight the sashimi was fresh and tasty and the shrimp and grits entree and the short rib entree met our expectations!

Overall a great experience. The server was amazing. The bread is to die for. The oysters were delicious. The peel /eat shrimp appetizer was great. The octopus appetizer was great. We also had the she crab soup, the mushroom side, the hushpuppy side. The entrees were the scallops dish and the flounder dish. Overall great. The wait time between dishes seemed very long. Not a place to go if you are on a tight schedule for event after dinner. Suggestion may be to order everything early on and let them glow it. Definitely will be back for oysters and appetizers.

It was such a wonderful experience with my wife and my 10 year old. We would love do it again. It was outstanding from first moment: talking about valet parking, customer service, food, drinks, atmosphere everything.

Our dinner at Marcel was the best dinner experience I’ve had in 40+ years. The food was excellent but what took it over the top was how hospitable the staff was. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. It was like a family member who wanted to share their food with you. We weren’t rushed and enjoyed just sitting and chatting with ourselves and the staff. They treated everyone like a VIP. I encourage everyone to try Marcel and I’ll gladly recommend it and come back.

Ambiance was good and our waitress was also very good. However the food didn't meet expectations. The warm crab dip was very good. However I ordered a NY Strip steak and it was par for a steak. Tasted like it wasn't seasoned at all and the broccoli has a burnt taste to it.
