4.0 of 5 stars. The brightly lit interior didn't do much for me but the food was great. I couldn't believe I was able to stumble upon so many of my favorite dishes in one place. Black cod and foie gras can be hard to…

fabulous food

I love the idea of the small plate and Marcels does a wonderful job. The menu is allows you to select from 3 to 6 courses and are priced accordingly. The service was flawless. Each course has selections and the addition of several daily specials. Well worth the price. Save room for dessert.

4.0 of 5 stars. Fine Dining in DC. Well it certainly was very good overall. I had the scallops for dinner and it didnt wow me or anything. Very very pricy, so make sure your date brings his platinum card. h

Good treat

I had my office holiday party at Marcel's and they did a fantastic job. It's quite expensive, but the service is top notch and the food was excellent. The chef was very willing to work with me on the menu.
