Best Restaurants for Business Meals in East Atlanta

Great ambiance around the Holidays, flew in town for a Football game and wanted a romantic dinner with good food, great wine list and Ray’s was it! Def order the warm butter cake for dessert !

Excellent service and fantastic food. At peak times it does get quite loud in the dining room depending on where you are sitting but that’s life for a popular spot. For just 2 people getting drinks, apps, and dinner it was about $200. My only complaint is that is a bit steep but on the other hand we loved everything we ordered and were pleased with the service. Our waters were always full, our server was knowledgable, friendly, and attentive, the bar kindly remade my drink when the first was too sweet for me, and as I said our meals were delicious!

Overall a great experience. The server was amazing. The bread is to die for. The oysters were delicious. The peel /eat shrimp appetizer was great. The octopus appetizer was great. We also had the she crab soup, the mushroom side, the hushpuppy side. The entrees were the scallops dish and the flounder dish. Overall great. The wait time between dishes seemed very long. Not a place to go if you are on a tight schedule for event after dinner. Suggestion may be to order everything early on and let them glow it. Definitely will be back for oysters and appetizers.

It is a great neighborhood location that has just the right balance of comfort food (meatloaf, pork chops, seafood, and pasta) with a step of higher class. Priced within means to enjoy a nice meal and glass of wine (or cocktail). A favorite

Our dinner at Marcel was the best dinner experience I’ve had in 40+ years. The food was excellent but what took it over the top was how hospitable the staff was. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. It was like a family member who wanted to share their food with you. We weren’t rushed and enjoyed just sitting and chatting with ourselves and the staff. They treated everyone like a VIP. I encourage everyone to try Marcel and I’ll gladly recommend it and come back.
