    My evening at Marcel was absolutely AMAZING! I ordered the filet cooked medium rare with the tiger paws, mushrooms in wine sauce, Béarnaise sauce, and chimichurri. Every single bite was incredible — the steak was cooked to perfection, perfectly seasoned, and melted in my mouth. And those mushrooms… OMG. They were SO good I honestly should’ve ordered two servings! The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the chimichurri, but everything else completely exceeded my expectations. Needless to say, I’ll definitely be back again this upcoming weekend! 🔥🥩✨

    Came to Ecco Buckhead with my daughter and our friends. Rae was our server, and what wonderful service we had. From the minutes we sat down, we were so warmly welcomed. We were offered wonderful food and drink recs that did not disappoint. We were visiting the Atlanta area for the first time to check out a law school my daughter had been accepted to. By the end of our meal, Rae presented my daughter with a card signed by the whole staff welcoming her to the area and congratulating her on her achievement. It was such a touching gesture that we will never forget.
