Rays in the city is one of my favorite spots in Atlanta. The service is great, even on the weekends when busy. You are always treated as if you matter to the business which is rare in Atlanta. Food is always great, this is my go to for a really good steak in the city, everyone else over prices and serves horrible cuts of meat. Our server was absolutely patient, professional, and accommodating in every way. Can’t wait to return!

We loved everything about our dinner at Marcel!! Service was friendly and top notch. We ordered 2 drinks off the drink menu that our server suggested as well as a glass of wine with dinner. The drinks were fantastic. Food was so delicious especially the Cacio E Pepe. Filet was cooked perfectly!! We don’t live in the area and normally I wouldn’t say I want to come back to Atlanta, but I can’t wait to visit this restaurant again. Hopefully very soon!!
