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.

Inman Park

About the restaurant

Positioned on the East Side Beltline trail, The James Room is a dark and moody cocktail lounge that is meant to be a place where you can leave your stresses at the door and immerse in the energetic vibrations of our cozy and intimate space. Upon entry, an upscale coffee shop takes your gaze. During the day, the cafe intriguingly offers unique flavors such as sea salt lavender and rosemary sage, or you can opt for a classic vanilla or caramel addition to your joe if you fancy. A few paces away is an inconspicuous door disguised as a bookcase, leading to the speakeasy area equipped with a peculiar mood. The atmosphere feels intimate yet communal and invokes a sense of leisure. The fine leathers and premium seating upgrade your typical lounge visit to an elevated, exclusive treat. Once you get settled, indulge in our savory light bites and carefully hand-crafted cocktail menu...and if you're lucky, maybe even the sounds of a DJ spinning some of your favorite hits.

Came on a Friday night around 7, party of 2. Getting in was probably the “hardest”/ least smooth part of the process. We didn’t have reservations so had to wait a few minutes no problem. There was a party or 5 waiting to get in so I made a quick reservation and there were plenty of tables. When we were brought in, the bar was pretty empty making us wonder why the (albeit short) wait. The drinks were great, Toki was our bartender and her energy and knowledge will definitely bring us back!

Hands down one of the best restaurants/experiences we have had. Went with a group of four and I highly recommend you order several plates to share since everything was just SO good and worth trying. The drinks were also well done with a beautiful presentation. The whole atmosphere/vibe of this place is perfect. Bella was our server who knew the menu inside and out, we counted on her to steer us in the right direction and she succeeded for sure! As the restaurant got a bit more crowded she still didn’t miss a beat and continuously checked in on us. Will definitely be back!!
