   Our first visit to Marcel DW. We had previously visited the location when it was Melange, which we had enjoyed immensely. We had a very nice meal. We had the cauliflower tempura and roasted mushrooms as appetizers. They were good, but the mushrooms were perhaps a bit over-salted. The main courses were rack of lamb and sea scallops. Both were also very good, but not perfect. The sea scallops were served with more roasted mushrooms; and the lamb was served over a bed of hummus and yogurt, plus merguez sausage and zucchini. Individually, the items were OK, especially the zucchini, but not sure they all worked together. Maybe a case of less is more ? That said, the service was attentive, and the prices represented good value for the portion sizes and quality. We'd certainly go back to Marcel DW.

   We were given a nice quiet table for a date night. Whitney, our server was attentive. We had the peppered salmon, which was perfect. The chef greeted us at the table. We will return.

   My wife had you snapper and I had the rack of lamb. Both were outstanding! This place is a dining jewel on Main Street. One of our very favorite spots.

   Outstanding food and service. Menu has a nice variety at a reasonable price. We had sea scallops, rack of lamb, and peppered salmon. Everyone was delighted.

   We have dined at Marcel several times since its reinvention. Food this time was not quite as good as previous experiences, maybe because there was a very large party that seemed to take up all of the oxygen in the room. Clearly the same chef/owner was present and our server was attentive, but there was a palpable concern about the large group and getting all of its menu choices prepared and served. Probably a lesson to avoid Holiday season. (We never thought that the end of Thanksgiving weekend would be an issue). Bottom line: We will return but we do not believe that the kitchen is staffed to manage large group dining as well as individual table dining to everyone's satisfaction.

   Oh No! I am so sorry Neal, we really want to make sure everyone is happy no matter how busy or not we are. We hope to see you again soon and I will make sure personally that your experience is at the best.

   This was my third time there, love the restaurant. Food is great, drinks are great, owner and waitstaff are great. One thing for me is put bread on the menu, I got the snapper and wanted some to sop up the juices😊

   Thank you Lucy for you patronage we greatly appreciate it. We do offer an homemade bread plate for $5 Don't hesitate to ask your server for it next time Have a wonderful day

    My favorite restaurant in downtown Sarasota. You can have bustling main room, or quiet hallway high tops. Food is fantastic, my favorites being the mushrooms and peppered salmon. Sounds like a little thing, but one really nice touch is they line the leftover boxes with tin foil. Sure makes the trip home easier and keeps the food fresher, too!
