Best Hot Spot Restaurants in College Park

It isn’t hard to believe this iconic Atlanta restaurant is a Michelin recipient of this prestigious award. The overall experience is exceptional! Wine selection was a perfect selection of old and new world. Let’s fast forward to our Thanksgiving Meal! Choice of fish, beef or poultry. We’re a fam of 5 so we were able to try a bite of each all full of rich and savory flavors. And the sides could all stand alone! Our server Jazz didn’t disappoint with all the recommendations and service provided. This mid century gem is one that must be on your bucket list! Chefs kiss !!

This is a really nice restaurant. The food and service is phenomenal. The only downside is that both times that I have gone to the buffet, they always run out of Grilled Salmon for good before I can get any. They are cut in small little cubes and I can’t understand why it’s always the salmon that they can’t replenish. Super disheartening when you don’t eat pork, beef or chicken. For $60 pp they should be able to get someone to run to a grocery store real quick. Sheeshhh Other than that, I’d recommend.

It was our first time doing this since It was just 3 of us. It was well worth it. I was nervous about the food as I'm used to a very traditional celebration with greens, mac and cheese, ham, turkey and yams to name a few. They had turkey, prime rib, honey glazed salmon (I eat this all the time just not on this day), brussel sprouts, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, choice of salad (we had our favorite which is caesar, and butternut squash soup which was delicious. We also had 3 small desserts to include pumpkin pie (i never eat this but it was delicious), pecan pie and some sort of cake. They were small bites but enough to get full and all delicious. We also had spinach dip for an appetizer along with chilled shrimp. We had a great time. It's going to be hard not to do it again for Christmas or any other holiday.

Spectacular! Magical evening dining at Marcel! From the moment we entered - from start to finish, impeccable service, attention to every detail! We were seated in the beautiful dining room, nice ambiance and decor, attractive lighting! Nick was our server and he was the best! Knowledgeable, articulate, funny, and always there at the right times! He made our dining experience so enjoyable! Salads were prepared well, Steaks, Chicken, Lobster Risotto all cooked to perfection! Nice presentation of sides - lots of Potato selections to choose from as well as other options to complement the Meal. Great Wine selection - Place is Fabulous!!!

The Optimist is always on our list when visiting Atlanta! Great food, great service and all around a wonderful experience each and every time
