Marcel captures the best spirit of those days when people enjoyed stretching out over a meal, laughing more, and just taking time.

With its soft lighting, harking back to those early days of grand dining, Marcel's environment puts one in mind to take one's time when dining. The low hum of conversation, the soft clink of cocktail glasses—setting both intimate and lively where every guest feels welcome.
Aside from the great diversity of steaks to choose from, Marcel also offers a selection of handcrafted cocktails with a class-A wine list—hence, every part of the meal is a celebration of flavor. The attention to quality at this restaurant is just seriously high, ever since the hand-stirred drinks down to the friendly service, which always entails a kind gesture of someone holding a door open.
