    I haven't been to Marcella's in quite a while, but we booked a table for our post-graduation celebration dinner and it was FANTASTIC. The mussels! Holy smokes, they were magical. I had a perfect salmon main, and everyone had something that made them happy. My grad was the queen of Shirley Temples that night, lol. Anders, our server, was top notch in taking care of us and he made great recommendations. 1000/10 no notes would book again
