Description

Here on the west side of town, take a step back in time at this vintage steakhouse named for French boxer, Marcel Cerdan. From the low lighting to the red leather banquette, Ford Fry has created a speakeasy-style space that checks all the boxes. It comes with a high price tag, certainly, but who cares when you're having this much fun? The menu features a few French and European elements in addition to classic dishes. Start with a salad or go big with steak tartare with bone marrow and sourdough. The many steaks include a bone-in côte de boeuf or 60-day dry-aged ribeye. Don't skimp on the sides

Review summary

Marcel, a French steakhouse in Locust Grove, holds a 4.1/5 rating from 80 reviews. Food quality is a primary strength, with steaks, seafood, and desserts like chocolate tart receiving praise, though some diners reported overcooked meat or poor side dishes. Service is generally professional and attentive, highlighted by specific staff members, yet occasional lapses in responsiveness were noted. The atmosphere is described as warm and speakeasy-like, but seating can sometimes be cramped or noisy. Value is polarizing; while some find it worth the cost, many consider it overpriced relative to the experience.
