What people say, in short
Marcel draws repeated recommendations for steak dinners and celebrations. Diners praise the food and atmosphere, with individual mentions of oysters, lemon scallops and Baked Alaska. One describes a romantic room. Cost is the main qualification: several find it expensive, and one repeat visitor felt a meal no longer compared favorably with other steakhouses. Another commenter simply does not share the enthusiasm.
