"Marcel is like that dependable, first-option friend who is always 10 toes down when needed. That’s why this moody French steakhouse serves a mix of clientele—well-dressed couples, suits wooing out-of-town clients, and anyone in need of a morale boost via a steak splurge. The buttery steaks are their showpiece, but everything here, from the tableside sole to the cacio e pepe, is faultless. This is the type of place that will turn you from a newbie into a regular, with a favorite corner table and a penchant for flambéed desserts." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
