We were concerned we'd be rushed for time, but these guys have it down to a science. In an hour we had a three course meal without ever feeling rushed and they got us a car service to the theatre afterward. The food was amazing and the ambience was lovely. Go for it.

A dining experience, to say the least. We came upon Marcel's based on Trip Advisors reviews. Rated #1 in Washington DC-- WOW-- now that's a huge statement. We ate here on a Friday evening and I was expecting it to be much stuffier than it was. The energy level was high and the waitstaff upbeat, attentive with being unassuming. Choices... More

The food was good but not great. The service was very good. I would not recommend Marcel's unless you don't mind paying too much for good food.

We went here as a group to this wonderful restaurant. I have to say that their presentation was second to none, and I've eaten in many Michelin star and super high quality restaurant. Their timing and pace of the food was excellent and I have to say I had simply the most enjoyable time with the company and exquisite quality... More

I went online for the top 10 restaurants in DC and Marcel's was one of them. I believe it was listed as 3 or 5 by trip advisor but I would list it higher. In my opinion it was better than Blue Duck Tavern or Adour, who didn't even know what a VO manhattan was. The menu is a tasting... More

Marcel's is a gem of the French culinary experience. The attention to detail of the service is spectacular and I did not notice a single beat that was missed. If you are in Washington, D.C. and you are craving an excellent French meal, look to Marcel's. I went there for a special evening with my special lady. The bison strip... More

Love this place!!! There's something for everyone--from a 4-course tasting menu for people who eat less, or 7-course for people who need a little more. You also get to pick whatever you want for your courses. The menu is laid out in front of you and just choose what item you want for each course--you can choose the same dish... More

I had gone on Trip Advisor before we left for DC, and I found this gem. I made a list of about five restaurants in the Georgetown area that sounded good and had the front desk people "review" them for me. The fine staff at Avenue Suites told me the food was delicious at Marcel's, and they took me outside... More
