    Sea bass

    Celebrated birthdays at SM44. The ambiance and decor are very grown and sexy. Perfect for a date night or adults only dinner. Everyone enjoyed their drinks and the food. Coincidentally we all ordered seafood. No one ordered the steak. But the sea bass was the clear favorite. Someone next to us ordered the prime rib. Plan to go back and order that next time. Definitely worth a try. It's not just a pretty face, there's (food) substance behind the glitz and glamour.

    Absolutely great experience! As I walked up, I was greeted and the door was opened by a gentleman in a black suit. I was sat immediately. There was no wait for my other party and we added an extra plus one at arrival. Very accommodating. The waitress was very friendly. She introduced herself, asked questions and answered any questions we had. There were three of us. We ordered the tomahawk, Chilean sea bass, Brussels sprouts, broccolini, bread pudding, fondue dip, fried mushrooms, blueberry Mai tai, and agave old fashion. Everything was amazing! The steak was brought out and cut in front of us. There were displays happening at several tables as well. After dinner we went downstairs to the speakeasy. We enjoyed shots that came out on a tray with lights and smoke! Great presentation. I believe there is valet but the lot across the street does not play with the fees be prepared to not park there or pay up front to not have overpricing. The food and experience was so good I didn't get many pics.

    This was nothing less than a great evening. The had outdoor, bar, main, and upstairs seating. We sat upstairs with a party of 7 so it was more private. Our waiter was great as well as the bartender as I arrived early and started there for happy hour. The drinks did not disappoint and nor did the food. From the appetizers to dessert everything was well plated and delicious. I had the branzino and it didn't stand a chance. Started with the ponchatarian oysters they had a lil spice but were great. The valet is $25 which isn't posted anywhere and 20% gratuity is included on all checks, but service was still up to par so no complaints.

    The restaurant is very cute! It's perfect for any occasion, date night, girls or guys night out, or business meeting. The staff was friendly and helpful and the service was quick without making you feel rushed. So to get into the food, everything was perfect! I didn't take pics of the seafood fondue but that was stellar, much like the Brussels. The Mac and cheese needed a little more pepper and it would've been perfect! The lamb chops have a nice kick so be ready for that. My cousin has the fried fish and she said that wasn't seasoned well but the collards and cornbread that came with it was amazing! The price point is what you'd expect but it's well worth it!

    Food, service and ambience was all delightful. The oysters were a highlight, as were the steak and the crab fondue dip. I also loved the guava vodka old fashioned and my girlfriend really enjoyed the hibiscus yuzu marg. They played some great tunes during the meal and i thought it was actually very reasonably priced for such an upscale and delicious meal. One of the best steaks Ive had in a while, great chimichurri as well. I want to go back and try the desserts

    I went here to celebrate my friend new job and my other friend moving to Atlanta and I'm glad I picked this restaurant out now I will say a little bit pricey, but if that's how you roll definitely do what you do best let's start off with the service, which was amazing our waitress did a lot for recommendations and I trusted everything that she stated, and we tried everything pretty much on the menu. I will say there was nothing that I did not like I even liked the lobster mac & cheese and I feel like a lot of people in Atlanta can't can't make mac & cheese, but this was amazing and I will get it again. I think overall it was a beautiful environment very cute. I love the fact that they take photos and let you purchase them. The speakeasy was pretty small and smoky so did not stay in there at all. We pretty much walked in and walked right back out but overall, I will do it again if I wasn't paying.

    Don't believe everything you read on social media. I saw a great video on social about this place so I decided to try it, even after reviewing the menu, pricing and location. I really try to support black owned restaurants. Unfortunately, this isn't it. The food was subpar. Service below average. The only thing I'd come back for is the drinks. This is definitely not high end or fine dining. This is 1/2 a step above a club for 21-25 year olds. A definite NO for me in the future. By the way, this IS NOT a black owned establishment! They lied. Sorry.

    10 out of 10 recommend!…read more From the moment we arrived, the host team took such great care of us. We were there celebrating our engagement, and they made it feel so special by decorating our table with rings and confetti to celebrate our love. Our server gave us so much attention and made the experience feel personal. Since it was our first time there, they took the time to walk us through some of the best items on and off the menu, and shared their favorite dishes. Everything was done with care. The restaurant was clean, the bathroom was amazing, and the food was worth every dollar. The short rib was so tender, and the New York strip was seasoned to perfection and cooked medium well just how we like it. The twice-baked potato loaded with bacon, sour cream, chives, and cheese was delicious, and the mac and cheese was so good. I also appreciated that they allowed me to order it without the roasted saltine crackers. I can't wait to visit again!

Bones has old money vibes - for example, the receptionist referred to us as Mr. and Ms. which I felt like was very polite and again, traditional. We were celebrating my birthday, and they pre-decorated our table a little bit! We got special print-out menus that said "Happy Birthday" and the table had a little bit of confetti on it! It was a nice gesture to be welcomed with. Our server, Michael, was great at being attentive (without being overly attentive), and providing recs/answering our questions. We went with the Crab and Lobster Napoleon for our app, the Ribeye to split, and a side of their famous Hash Browns. Everything was very good!! I will let the pictures speak for themselves, but all the food comes out hot, fresh, and with good flavor. I really do recommend getting the Hash Browns - it sounds a little silly to order such a dish at a steakhouse, but try it for yourself :) All dishes have a good portion size so keep that in mind when ordering! While not pictured, I do have to give a shoutout to the complimentary bread service - their bread is real good. Hot and fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside. Try not to get full off the bread alone. For dessert, Bones surprised us with literally the tallest and thickest slice of ice cream cake I've ever seen! My jaw dropped. I love ice cream cake and it was awesome to be treated to some!! I already thought that the table decorations and the special menu were enough to recognize my birthday, but this is the generosity of Bones. I will absolutely be returning some day! If not for the amazing food, then for the equally amazing hospitality! Thank you Bones for a wonderful birthday! Note: Complimentary valet parking ONLY. We asked the valet person if we could just park the car but we weren't allowed to. Bring some cash for a tip.

    Casi Cielo - Coliflor al Josper is a smoky and beautifully spiced vegetarian entree, dotted with avocado purée. Highly recommend!

    Fives across the board…read more Casi Cielo is incredible. The space is warm and beautiful without trying too hard, and the crowd was hip and well dressed. Definitely a place to be seen and eat well. There's a parking garage but it was full when we got there, so we did valet, which was surprisingly affordable. Service was wonderful. Our server was attentive, helpful, and super knowledgeable about the menu. As for the food, we got: Aguachile de Pescado, which was insane. Super fresh, bright, citrusy, ceviche-like with perfect texture. I would go back just for that. The Hamachi was clean and bright. That avocado sauce tied everything together and gave it some depth without overpowering the fish. The Pork Belly Tostadas were crispy and rich with that smooth avocado mousse and sweet mango salsa balancing it out perfectly. Finally, the bone marrow with steak... so good. I had seen pictures of it before I came and it did not disappoint. The steak was incredibly tender. They bring blue corn tortillas and suggest making a taco with the marrow, steak, and avocado. It's great that way. But honestly, the marrow and steak stand perfectly on their own. Whole experience was excellent. Easily one of my favorite spots in the city now.

    Wanted to love it…read more The vibes are there, the staff is genuinely lovely, and there's real potential here, we just had a bit of an adventure getting through the meal. We had someone in our party with a gluten allergy, and our sweet server was doing his absolute best, bless. We were steered away from the tostadas as a starter due to gluten concerns, so we pivoted to guac...which then arrived with a gluten-free tostada. So the tostadas would have been totally fine! Then a good while after we'd all ordered, she was told her entrée had gluten and needed to be changed. She reordered, and almost immediately, the rest of the table's food came out. So we were left choosing between eating without her or letting everything go cold. And the plantains she'd reordered around, because she'd been told they couldn't be made gluten-free? Turns out they absolutely can be. Just miss after miss there. The spicy margarita was more of a margarita that once passed a jalapeño on the street. I asked for extra jalapeño juice and they were happy to help, but without the seeds and ribs it just couldn't deliver on the heat. I'd skip the margs next visit. This just wasn't quite the relaxed easy dinner we'd hoped for, and the price point feels like it's a step ahead of where the experience currently lands. But I'm rooting for them to get there!

    Marcel was absolutely impeccable. I had been aiming to cross this restaurant off our our list and…read moretoday was the day I was able to do that. It did not disappoint - in fact, it exceeded my expectations. First of all, Ken was an excellent server. He was paced, attentive, informative, and communicative throughout our experience. We were also celebrating our anniversary, and he and the staff made sure to make the occasion memorable (won't give away to keep it special for you). The food was amazing from beginning to end. First, the bread service was prompt, warm, soft, and served with ricotta. Next, the Ceasar salad was made next to where we sat - and to see them mixing the salads so meticulously down to mixing the dressing from scratch was one of the most amazing dining experiences I've had. I love a good Ceasar - and this was amongst the best. We also ordered the Oysters Marcel - and they were so fresh and bright. For our main course, my wife ordered the bone-in filet. It was cooked to perfection (medium rare - medium). I enjoyed redfish topped with Jump Lump Crab Oscar sauce (with crabs). Both proteins were amazing, but I was surprised by how perfectly cooked the fish was. Delectable. For sides, we enjoyed Cream Corn Gratin and Pommes Frites Béarnaise . Both were complementary of the proteins. The dessert was a 10-Layer Chocolate Cake. It was sooo good. Sweet but not too sweet. Good as it looks. Lastly, the ambiance was amazing. It was like stepping into a portal into a different space in time - almost made you forget we were in Atlanta. It's a bit dark inside - but a well lit darkness - just like I like it. Easy to see the entire space but also feel unseen (even though you are). Overall, I'd recommend it to anyone - although we made a pact to not take anyone from our circle. We want to keep this one for us. But hopefully this write up encourages a stranger to enjoy Marcel. Merci

    Walking into Marcel, one is transported to another world. A moody, retro, classic world where…read morebowties are worn unironically in a setting that could best be described as a boxing gym renovated with industrial touches to become a steakhouse in the 1940s. That world could be anywhere. It could even be in Midtown West Atlanta. Service was impeccable. Servers knew we were celebrating our anniversary and were attentive and helpful when making tough menu choices. Pacing was definitely geared toward fine dining. 40 minutes between starters and entree was a BIT long, but it went by. Steak was wonderful (a porterhouse for 2), cooked to a perfect medium rare with seasoning appropriately calibrated to not overpower. East and west coast oysters were fresh and the Marcel salad to start was underdressed and lacked flavor (I enjoyed how they plopped a mound of bleu cheese on top to mix in; I pushed this aside which my server and I laughed about. He said he'd do the same. Maybe it's a sign). Hot bread service with a spreadable cheese and prosciutto was a nice touch. The French fries are probably the best I've ever had, and the asparagus was asparagus (slightly undersalted if anything). Chocolate cake was impressive in presentation but unremarkable for flavor and consistency. My wife enjoyed her decaf coffee as the best she's had at a restaurant, but her cocktail left something to be desired and was extremely tart. A Mexican coke was perfect enough for me. The pricing here is exorbitant. The price tag isn't necessarily a problem given the caliber of dining experience and ambiance that Marcel provides, but given some of the misses on staple items (namesake salad, "famous" chocolate cake), I'm not sure that value for dollar spent is present. In transparency, our dinner comprised of the above was over $400 with tip, which was aligned with expectations walking in the door. Whether the food stood up to the actual place and pricing is a debate. I lean toward an answer of "almost, but close enough not to be insulted." If a gun was pointed at my head to pick the "best steakhouse" in Atlanta, I'd pick Bones without thinking twice. This place is a close second probably, but places like Nowaks in Sandy Springs, while not the same echelon of formality, might have Marcel beat on flavor and definitely have Marcel beat on value for the dollar. Is Marcel's concept valid and well executed? Yes, without question. Would I want somebody else to pay if I returned? Yes, without question. 4.3/5 stars

The entrance code can be obtained from their website or local hotel concierges. Dial the number on the antique phone and the door magically opens. The staff super friendly and helpful.

I sat at the bar and had a little light banter with the bartender who is a brother looking to be in his late 30's-early 40's. When I asked about two fruity cocktails from the menu, he flat-out said he wasn't going to make them. That alone was off-putting. Trying to move forward, I asked what he specialized in, and he said he'd "come up with something." I agreed--but very clearly stated: no rum, because my body does not react well to it. After watching him make drinks for people who ordered after me, he eventually handed me a cocktail I never even saw him prepare. That already raised a flag. I took a few sips, and sure enough--my stomach immediately started reacting the exact way it does when I've had rum. When I asked what alcohol he used, he said, "I don't even know." That response alone tells you everything you need to know. At that point, I reminded him I specifically said no rum. Instead of taking accountability, he tried to argue and backtrack. Let me be clear--when a customer tells you not to use a specific liquor, you don't ignore it, guess, or "forget." That's basic service and basic respect. This situation completely threw off my evening, as I had plans afterward and ended up feeling sick. To make matters worse, I reached out to management and received no response. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the end of the day, this wasn't just a bad drink--it was careless service. This staff does not prioritize customer care, and that's a problem. If you choose to visit, be very direct, pay close attention, and don't assume your requests will be respected.
