    Some of the best food in downtown Sarasota. We ordered several small plates to her and each one was delicious. We loved the Peppered salmon entree. And the scallops so delicate they melted in your mouth. Can’t wait to visit Marcel’s again to try more dishes

    Excellent food and ambience. Enjoyed all the food, but the cauliflower app was excellent. And they made a proper martini!

    Our first visit to Marcel DW. We had previously visited the location when it was Melange, which we had enjoyed immensely. We had a very nice meal. We had the cauliflower tempura and roasted mushrooms as appetizers. They were good, but the mushrooms were perhaps a bit over-salted. The main courses were rack of lamb and sea scallops. Both were also very good, but not perfect. The sea scallops were served with more roasted mushrooms; and the lamb was served over a bed of hummus and yogurt, plus merguez sausage and zucchini. Individually, the items were OK, especially the zucchini, but not sure they all worked together. Maybe a case of less is more ? That said, the service was attentive, and the prices represented good value for the portion sizes and quality. We'd certainly go back to Marcel DW.

    We were given a nice quiet table for a date night. Whitney, our server was attentive. We had the peppered salmon, which was perfect. The chef greeted us at the table. We will return.
