Had a work dinner at Marc last night and I would say the overall rating of 3.5 I'd pretty spot on. Not having that option I gave a 4. I would say service was good but not exceptional. We had several apps for the table the Seared Tuna was by far the table favorite. I had the seafood pasta seafood and pasta cooked very nicely but the white wine sauce which was actually a white wine cream sauce was very heavy for the dish. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful setting with the vineyards in the background.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All in all not a bad experience just could use some refinement for the $$

My now fiancé and I got engaged at Chateau Elan the weekend before last! For our engagement dinner, he had a reservation booked at Marc Bar & Restaurant. The restaurant is inside the winery, across the hall from the bar where we did our wine tastings earlier in the day. At 9pm, we entered Marc and were seated promptly. After perusing the menu, we ordered several things. We started with the fried green tomatoes for our appetizer (which were the best we've ever had! Every element came together for a truly amazing dish). Next, we each ordered a cup of the soup of the day (our waiter had said that it was seafood soup, but we found out after tasting that it was some kind of beef stew. My fiancé is a pescatarian who hasn't eaten meat in several years, so it was quite the shock. Our waiter checked with the kitchen and apparently they had just run out of the seafood and replaced it. Our waiter apologized and offered to bring another option). My fiancé went with the Caesar salad, which was classic--apologies for me forgetting to snap a pic of it. I still ate the soup, which was very yummy. The meat was so tender in it! The complimentary bread brought to our table (we asked for a couple more baskets) was so simple but incredible, with an orange honey butter. For my entree, I got the seared scallops from the starter section. They were so soft and flavorful. My fiancé got the blackened snapper pappardelle, which was very tasty as well. For dessert, we decided to go with something we couldn't get just anywhere, so we chose the orange poppy dessert. It was so unique and special. Along with our dessert, our attentive and welcoming server brought us each a glass of complimentary champagne to celebrate... a very nice touch! We enjoyed everything and look forward to hopefully returning soon.

We made reservations for my dinner here and I'm happy we did! Once we arrived the host was attentive. Our server Colin was very helpful with specials and drink options. But I came for the prime ribeye! which was cooked to perfection. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staying at Chateau Elan or not you must come to this beautifully crafted restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's amazing for date night, girls night, and appears to accommodate large parties.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

What a lovely find If you go into the Wine Tasting room in Chateau Elan you find Marc Bar & Restaurant immediately across. Pros - Location Wait staff was excellent Food was ok Drinks were good [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great for large groups or intimate dinner[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside /outdoors dining available[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Con - My filet mignon was over - salted and over cooked. I requested medium well and was served a well-done steak. Request salad to be shared- waiter brought the salad and told us we can split it- A great restaurant would have separated the servicing in the kitchen Food did not taste fresh

We had the best experiences in service at Marc's Restaurant! Cannot speak highly enough about our waiter! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located in the winery castle, they have a patio space for a lovely brunch and a full dining area with bar for dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our favorite of the restaurants on the Chateau Elan grounds is Marc Restaurant & Bar. Here you can dine in the winery castle at this restaurant with their southern-inspired chophouse and brunch fare. We had brunch here on the first morning and loved it. It has something for everyone from the spicy and sweet hot honey chicken biscuits or my favorite the duck confit hash loaded with potatoes, fried onions, and savory egg. John opted for the stellar sweet crunchy waffle board loaded with fruit, nuts, chocolate and whipped cream, then drizzled with syrup. For dinner on our first night, we enjoyed the best dining experience at the Marc Restaurant, as well. We started with fried green tomatoes that are crunchy outside and tender inside. It is paired with a delicious spicy jalapeno ranch sauce and some funky goat cheese. On top of that we tried the BBQ braised short rib, a sweet barbecue pulled short rib on top of a tasty baguette, rich balsamic and a sweet and tangy tomato jam. Plus, the Herbist floral gin cocktail is refreshing and light. Floral and herbaceous green chartreuse, a hint of honey, sage, and lime. The main courses we tried at Marc's were the tender grilled lamb chops and the perfectly cooked ribeye steak. The lamb chops were my favorite, thick and tender, seasoned lamb, that is one of the best I've had in a while. The ribeye steak is again, perfectly cooked and seasoned! They send out a bunch of sauces for their meats and I really enjoyed the tangy and spicy horseradish cream and herbaceous chimichurri for the lamb and the rich demi for the steak. On the side, I got the brussels sprouts that are tender, sweet, but have a kick on the end and the flavorful, rich, braised collards. We ended the night with the delicious, sweet, brown sugar port they make at Chateau Elan. And we can't get over the service at Marc's! It was perfect.

My Bestie surprised me with dinner here and it was really nice. The staff and waiter was very attentive. The drinks (Lemon Drop Martini), Fried Green tomatoes were seasoned well and good. I had the snapper, it was bit on the crispy side but really good and filing. I wish it had more of a cream sauce as it set on a bed of noodles which, which I do recall seeing in the description. Either way was still good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Recommend if you're in the area, the place is really a Vibe and I'm sure even better in the spring/fall time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat by the windows so made it a bit chilly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Be prepared, it is a la carte, just so you know.

This literally was the worst experience in my entire life!!!!!!! I am still in shock, hurt and shaken to my core, I pride myself on giving detailed and honest reviews, and I advise you to read this one in full. We were greeted kindly and the kindness stopped there. It took the waitress a long time even to come over just to take drink orders. They said that there were some large parties in front of us, but at the end of the day what we saw was that they were understaffed and this had been the case at each other restaurants throughout the resort. This place is reservation only so they should've been prepared for the guests that were arriving. We waited for our food for over an hour and we were very much getting upset. When they finally bought the scallop appetizer, it was actually delicious.... But nothing else came. The table next to us asked us how long we have been waiting because they were getting upset as well and we informed them that we have been waiting over an hour. They came after us and had been waiting a similar amount of time and were voicing their frustration because they were starving . When the food finally came, it was a complete battle because nothing was right. All three of the people that ordered steaks were not happy with the way that steaks were cooked. My friend ordered the $150 wagyu, which did not look like any I'd ever seen and we've had plenty. Instead of the manager trying to fix anything she came over an initiated an argument, saying that it was wagyu and telling them their food was cooked right . It was truly shocking and unbelievable with the the back-and-forth. Her customer service was horrendous!! The fish in my dish was ok, but nothing else was really good about it. Needed a ton of salt and pepper. The lobster my friend had wasn't cooked through and he was very upset. At the end, my friend said just take everything back bc she didn't even want to eat anything . The manager rudely said she will have to pay for the two sides that she did not consume . Please see video. Never in my life at a supposed 5 star restaurant have I had a manager aggressively tell you that you have to pay for something that you didn't eat. She left and the rest of us paid for our food. As we were leaving the table next to us had saw the argument with the manager and they were conversing very kindly and asked us what happened . when I turned around the manager was behind me saying that I was bothering the people and she had already called the police. The people at the table said no, we engaged with her and was asking her questions and we were just chatting. The Manager was mad about the whole situation and called the police and tried to have me charge with criminal trespassing. I could not believe it. I'm still in shock and heartbroken by the cruelty. I was shake to my core! Never in my life have I been in any kind of trouble with the law. Needless to say we left but I started video recording for my protection and safety and have the video footage of the people saying that I did not bother them and they asked us a question when we were on the way out the restaurant. When I told the police that I didn't do anything, he said " this is Georgia, you don't have to do nothing". What??? My rights were severely violated. All I can tell everyone is never ever go here! It was the most harrowing and disturbing experience of my life. The night manager is a special kind of cruel to treat someone so poorly, and then threaten to have them arrested for just being unhappy with the food and service. It was horrid and when you spend that kind of money you don't expect to be treated like that.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's soon as you walk into Château Elan on the left side. I went in for a wine tasting and had reservations about 8pm. I was about to speak with the staff to move up my reservations as I finished with the wine tasting a bit early. They are big on knowing if you have a special occasion. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The table for two is fairly small and packed with menu's and plates I just asked the waiter to remove a few items that weren't needed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall the food was great the only dish I did not like was the macaroni & cheese. Everything else was great even down to the bread. Very flavorful, perfectly seasoned, warm very Demure lol.

Sexy ambiance, sexy servers, not sexy food. I had a salad that was spilling over its too-small plate, making a mess on the table. I know that it was meant to be a polite gesture, but I felt like a freaking slob when the server brought a damp napkin over, moved my plate, and wiped the table down. BUT the salad (I added salmon on top which turned out to be a very generous portion) was delicious, and my spouse's ribeye with broccolini and fries were also very good. It would be nice if there were more options for sides at lunch because that was it - two pieces of broccolini and some fries. The cost is atrocious (my lunch salad with the salmon was $40) but it's a resort and I totally get that that's built into the cost. I'd made a reservation for lunch figuring that a Saturday during the holidays would be busy with parties, wine tastings, weddings etc .. but when we walked in, I almost thought that it wasn't open yet. There was nobody there, like crickets and tumbleweeds. The hostess was gorgeous and friendly and said we would've needed the reservation regardless, which I didn't quite understand since there were 3 servers, 0 tables occupied. It did get busier the longer that we were there. She'd asked if we were celebrating an occasion (even though I'd already filled that in on the reservation) and I told her it was my 3 year "cancerversary" so it was thoughtful for the server to bring us a bottle of champagne wrapped up to-go rather than serving us a dessert or a drink because I really wasn't feeling booz-y at lunchtime. Of all of the restaurants on the property, this one I would definitely return to. While the menu was short and simple, the food was prepared perfectly and tasted great, and the setting, ambiance and experience were all memorable.

Are here at Cheateau Elan and had a great time. I ordered a Tomahawk Steak to share with Asparagus and Mac and Cheese. I wish the Mac and cheese was more actual cheese instead of saucy. But it was good. The ambience was great for a girls birthday trip and a sexy environment. The service was great as well!

Lora L.

This place was beautiful, not just inside but outside also! The food was exceptionally delicious and visually pleasing! Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and he was extremely attentive to us. We had a great time there!

Overrated and underwhelming. To pay $50 for a steak then watch a bunch of drunks wine taste and puke in the bathroom wasn't a very nice dinner out. Service was good minus the server knowing nothing about wine LOL We had drinks at the bar but the bartender was training a new bartender when they just opened on a Saturday night. Didn't seem logical but whatever. Took awhile to get drinks bc she was well, training. Food wise it was decent. The steak was overcooked so we had to send that back. My scallops were good. Overall food was decent but not mind blowing for the price. I would eat somewhere else.

We had a great dinner after our wine tasting. We had a bottle of veuve champagne two of us ordered prime steak and I had the Wagyu. I started with the wedge salad. We were deprived with a delicious rose cocktail to wish me a happy birthday as well as a crème brûlée dessert. Hassan our waiter was fantastic.
