Marcel's — Restaurant in Sylvania

Went to Marcel’s on their opening night, New Years Eve. The menu was a modified one from the regular menu featuring only appetizers. Some of which I believe will be on the regular menu as well. Everything we had was outstanding! We tried Dutch meatballs, delicious and moist with a red onion aioli. We had the poutine which although a familiar dish was far better than I expected. The gravy was rich and flavorful and the portion was large enough to share. We had the schnitzel sliders which were my favorite. Super crispy with a hint of curry, absolutely delicious! Lastly we had the chippies with a Boursin dipping sauce, again delicious. So much food we brought home left overs. Even though it was the first night of business that was not noticeable. We were served promptly and the food was piping hot. Service was amazing, our server was knowledgeable and attentive. Even though it is a smaller restaurant the layout still gave privacy and ample room. We will be back and often I hope. Give it a try, I am confident the full menu will be just as good if not better!

Went back to Marcel’s with a group of 5 recently and were able to order from the regular menu. Everything was excellent. Ordered the curried shrimp and the Dutch meatballs to share both were a big hit! Especially the sauce with the meatballs. Everything was gone in no time. Everyone ended up ordering a different entree which worked out nicely for tasting. We had the salmon, the grouper, the fillet, the chicken breast and a chicken Caesar salad. Everything was not only beautifully presented but very delicious. The chicken was juicy, the steak tender and perfectly cooked, the grouper was delicate and the sauce delicious. All the sides were outstanding as well. No one was disappointed! For dessert we got one of each; the panna cotta, the mousse and the lemon/lavendar cheesecake. All were good and perfectly sized but the cheesecake was the biggest hit. I highly recommend ending your meal with this. The service was amazing. No complaint at all. She was officiant and...

I grew up around the corner and was back visiting the area from out of town. When some friends suggested we try this new restaurant, I was excited to experience fine dining in Sylvania and would recommend this place to everyone in the area or visiting! We made reservations and were welcomed into an adorable place. The bathrooms were well stocked with whatever you may need. At our table we were served delicious bread and butter. I love when restaurants do that because it immediately makes me feel catered to. Which was exactly how our service was the rest of the evening. We got the meatballs for an appetizer, which was like nothing I have ever experienced before - so good! I got the Mediterranean grilled chicken for my entree and it was fabulous although I also had eyes on the filet. The orzo pasta that came with the chicken along with the rest of the ingredients paired together wonderfully! My husband got the salmon and said it was so flavorful and delicious. We were so happy with our choices and would love to go back and try other dishes. Thanks for a wonderful evening, I hope many blessings come your way for opening up such an...

We had reservations which they said they gave away prior to our arrival time of 6:00. Then said they would squeeze us in! They would not let us put the tables together so our group of 9 could not sit together. The beef tips over humus arrived at the table just barely warm. Our server told us it was due to the cold humus. We have had this dish at other restaurants and never experienced the beef tips not being hot. Another person at our table had the cauliflower steak which was also just luke warm. There were 5 of us at the table but only four pieces of bread. We asked for more and the waitress kept saying she would bring it but after an hour said only four slices per table. The table behind us had two extra bowls of bread . Also our food came out at all different times. Some were almost done eating when the last person finally got their food. I don’t understand how you can give away our reservation, then act like you are going out of your way to accommodate us like we were a large group who just walked in...
