Fodor's Expert Review Marcel's by Robert Wiedmaier
Served in a warmly lit, elegant setting, the award-winning Belgian menu at Marcel's—the flagship restaurant of acclaimed chef Robert Wiedmaier—often includes multiple seafood choices (like perfectly seared diver scallops and Blue Bay mussels), succulent duck breast, and a selection of foie gras. Order the mixed-melon minestrone with yogurt sorbet and cream for dessert. If you're craving fine dining but are short on time, check out the happy hour menu, which offers small dishes like duck liver mousse and escargot for $12 a plate.
