We had a five course tasting menu, with caviar, mussels, duck breast. Simply excellent!

What to get: Chestnut-and-foie-gras soup; shrimp with corn blinis; boudin blanc with truffle sauce and truffled potato purée; melted Montboissie cheese over toasted pecan-raisin bread.

The Bitches say: A-. The caliber of cuisine and service at Marcel’s is top notch, we just wish there was a bit more brunch, and maybe a deal on the cocktails. Read more

Esquire: Nowhere in Washington, D.C., is fine-dining done finer. Nowhere is it easier to feel thoroughly at home in a tuxedo. The stewards of slow luxuries must never die

Table 28, in a curtained-off nook in the main dining room, is perfect for an extra-romantic and ultra-private evening. Via CityEats.com Read more

Fancy French restaurant suspension: Marcel's - Duck at 49 degrees, cross contamination control, no one certified food safety. Declined to explain or show us improvements. Passed city reinspection.

Go here before a show at the Kennedy Center and treat yourself to a great meal and outstanding service. After the show, go back for the piano bar a single-malt. The best!

Between the service, food and wine list, this is the most well executed restaurant in D.C.

The foie gras is just silly good. Served with house-made toasted brioche, I could eat that all day and night.

ALWAYS get the pan-seared foie gras (if available). Chef Wiedmaier is absolutely amazing.
