    Overall good experience. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Waitress was sweet, but inexperienced, didn’t know the answers to many questions, but was willing to find out. Food was good value.

    I go once a week! As a result, and this is my only recommendation, I’d like more specials / menu variety.

    Our first time and we had a blast, the chef/owner delivered our main course and shared some words with us. Our server was fun and knew his business. Definitely a great place to enjoy a meal with friends. The menu is extensive but not so voluminous that it makes it hard to select what to eat. The ingredients were fresh and dishes flavorful. Not overpowering, bland, or frou-frou. The portions were perfect and a good value. We will recommend and will likely visit again soon.

    Marcel DW is my favorite restaurant in the downtown area. The Bananas Foster drink was delicious. The mushrooms and green beans were delicious, though the beans portion a bit small. The peppered salmon was perfection. Our waiter was super professional and attentive.
