Restaurants near Washington Park

Overall a great experience. The server was amazing. The bread is to die for. The oysters were delicious. The peel /eat shrimp appetizer was great. The octopus appetizer was great. We also had the she crab soup, the mushroom side, the hushpuppy side. The entrees were the scallops dish and the flounder dish. Overall great. The wait time between dishes seemed very long. Not a place to go if you are on a tight schedule for event after dinner. Suggestion may be to order everything early on and let them glow it. Definitely will be back for oysters and appetizers.

Celebrated my birthday here and it was so great! Everything was 5 stars. We had the arancini and baked crab dip for appetizers, chimichurri steak and scallops for dinner and strawberry shortcake dessert. Recommend everything. Our server was also great and brought me a glass of champagne on the house for my birthday. I’ve been for brunch too and that is also great. Can’t wait to be back. So many things on the menu look delicious.

Our dinner at Marcel was the best dinner experience I’ve had in 40+ years. The food was excellent but what took it over the top was how hospitable the staff was. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. It was like a family member who wanted to share their food with you. We weren’t rushed and enjoyed just sitting and chatting with ourselves and the staff. They treated everyone like a VIP. I encourage everyone to try Marcel and I’ll gladly recommend it and come back.

we sat outside where there were lovely warm heaters. I actually loved it more than sitting in the dining room. Yancy our waiter was amazing. So enjoyed him. Food... french onion soup is amazing - the bread and butter - so so good. the new "Lasagna" dish was so decadent with black shaved truffle on top that they shaved tableside. It was so good. the Frites are so good. I cannot say enough good things about the food and the service at Little Sparrow.

Such a great dining experience and amazing sea bass!!! Still dreaming about it
