Monsieur Marcel

In a shop this fancy filled with over-priced and intriguing imported goods, you'd expect the staff to be a bunch of snobs. NOT! Very friendly and helpful staff. We rarely buy anything here because our tastes aren't that fancy and we flat out refuse to spend $7 for a tiny jar of mustard, but we often browse because the shop is filled with fascinating food items you're not likely to find elsewhere... and sometimes they have freebies. Even if you have no interest in gourmet cooking, this shop is worth a stop-in, if only for curiosity's sake.

French wine, French cheese (and other European varitals), fresh seafood and the outdoor hustle and bustle of The Original Farmers Market...what's not to like? While I can speak first hand to their meat and cheese board, I feel comfortable recommending their seafood too. And something tells me their steak and fries will treat you just right. Love the wine list, loaded with French varietals I need help with because I know nothing about French wine. Whether it's for a snack and a glass of wine or dinner and a bottle (or two) this place is great. If champagne is your thing, I started the meal preceding this review with a champagne cocktail (sugar cube and bitters) and it was a perfect start to our Monsieur Marcel experience. GREAT PLACE!

The food is always well prepared and flavorful, staff members hands out great customer service. I loved how neat it is and mood. Will come back again.
