    Your classic steakhouse at a hotel. Nothing crazy but clean and good across the board. A lack of steak options was disappointing, they only had filet and a special 32 oz. We had the seafood platter which was awesome. Great crab with a green goddess sauce. Salmon and chili also excellent. Avoid the asparagus salad, was pretty bland.

    Hospitality at its absolute finest. Impossible to overstate the ease with which the staff at Mar'sel provides impeccable service; from the kind offering of my preference to seating, to the chair being pulled out for me when I would rejoin the table, a blanket being provided for my lap to keep warm, the light humor and confident professionalism from every staff member I crossed, and of course a vast menu knowledge on behalf of the serving and support staff, I could not be more impressed. I enjoy a nice night out to dinner but my server, Jesus, and every single other member of the staff I had the pleasure of meeting on March 5th, surprised me by making my impromptu dinner for one a simply remarkable experience of hospitality and what it should strive to be. Also, the food was delicious. Persimmons with burrata and Butternut Squash soup were some of the highlights of the meal for me. Roasted Forest Mushrooms were out of this world; so much flavor as well as a great portion size. Very unique flavors for sorbet and gelato which I appreciate. I tried the Peach Tea, Mango Chamoy, and Vanilla; all of which were delightful. All this combined with a gorgeous view of the ocean and sunset surrounding the venue made for an outstanding evening and dining experience. I highly recommend for all occasions, casual or celebratory. Thank you Mar'sel!

    what an amazing restaurant! took mama for a pre-vday dinner. we've stayed and dined at Terranea on several occasions, but, have not had the pleasure of Mar'sel. Oh, what have we been missing! the location is atop a hill, adjacent to the main pool. if you're driving in, it's pretty close to the parking area. there's a wonderful bar upon entering that we would've stopped by at, had we not already imbibed at the Lobby Bar. a roaring fireplace welcomed us in to the dining area and a vista to justify exorbitant property values awaiting our outdoor seating. service from the get-go was TOP NOTCH. shannon led us to our seat and was the best concierge for our needs. felix set us up for what menu options we were going to enjoy this evening. a couple glasses of nice wine started us off, along with some yummy warm fresh baked bread. a little complimentary amuse bouche was a nice touch. mama and i started with the burrata. creamy and unctuous and paired wonderful with our bread options. i ordered the iberico pork steak and mama had the halibut. my pork was amazing, juicy and tender with a nice rendered fat cap. mama's halibut was delicious. firm, but, flakey and ate like a steak. we added a broccolini side that was so good. dinner was absolutely wonderful. shannon even came by and cleaned off our table before presenting us with the dessert menu. we didn't have room for any dessert, but, the gesture in of itself was very impressive. i wished more fine dining venues kept this practice. overall, a truly awesome and unforgettable night out at Mar'sel.

    Interesting menu, nice gesture. My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary. We have been planning on coming here for 4 years but always end up elsewhere. We had a Reservation at 7pm The drive through palos verdes at night is darker than most since they don't have any street lights so fyi be careful if you don't like to drive hills in the dark. The valet at the resort were very friendly. They had a go cart pick us up and drop us off at the restaurant. You cannot tip with credit card so bring cash. The restaurant was dimly lit. This place reminded me that I am still young and broke. I definitely do not fit in in formal settings. I asked the server what was a 69 egg. Didn't think people cared at what degree their eggs are poached but here we are. The omi goji drink tasted like waking into a lush store. It's very herbal and fresh tasting. We ordered filet mignon, some fingerling potatoes and broccolini. Everything was perfect. The filet mignon did taste as if it were boiled a bit first and then placed on a pan but I'm not complaining. It was definitely an experience.
