Restaurants near Georgia Institute of Technology

The best Persian cuisine in the US. Fantastic food, cocktails and ambience

We had an excellent experience dining here for a birthday dinner. The food was spot on for a French bistro. Definitely recommend the Sole Meunière served table side and Basque Cheesecake. Atmosphere was lively, but easy to carry on a conversation. Service excelled at all points. I will return for the service alone. Personally feel this is lacking in many restaurants today, and it was a welcomed change from many establishments. Thanks to all front of house and kitchen staff for an enjoyable, memorable birthday dinner.

From the moment you walk in the door you know you are in for a treat. The smell of fresh wood burning and the cozy, warm lighting make it feel inviting from the beginning. The food was OUTSTANDING. Starting with the warm dinner rolls with the perfect amount of flaky salt through to the oysters, tuna curd, beet salad and on and on through the blueberry pudding cake. Amanda was our server and not only was she friendly, she was also very knowledgeable about the food, the ingredients, where they came from, when they arrived and how things were prepared. She was a total delight. I would come back to Atlanta just to eat there again

Our experience at Marcel was nothing short of magical! From the moment we stepped in, the romantic ambiance set the perfect tone for my birthday celebration. The warm, intimate lighting and elegant décor created an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and inviting. The food? Absolutely divine! Every dish was a masterpiece—bursting with flavor, beautifully plated, and clearly crafted with care and expertise. It’s rare to find a menu where each bite feels like an experience, but Marcel delivered that and more. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely made us feel like honored guests. This was our first time dining at Marcel, but it certainly won’t be the last. Marcel has set the bar incredibly high for fine dining, and I can’t wait to return for another unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

This is such a warm and welcoming place. The food is fantastic and the seasonal change of the menu is so well done. The servers and staff are terrific. I love dining here.
