It was nice and great views when seated outside. My boyfriend and I had dinner reservations and also had brunch before that and we sat outside with beautiful view and ambiance then for dinner we got sat inside by ourselves in a corner while everyone else got seated outside w beach views.

Drinks were amazing, you can actually taste the alcohol versus some bars that pack it with juice. The food was exquisite, i believe it depends on the food item though.

It was our anniversary. No complaints at all. Service was perfect! Food was outstanding. There could of been a little more choices on the dessert menu. Nothing looked very good so I have one Critique I suppose. Overall I would recommend this place 100%.

Everything was great. Staff, service, food, ambiance were all excellent. Definitely recommend!

We had a special celebration for a "teacher of the year" in our family. Marisol was her choice for the celebration, and she was more than pleased with the food, the view, the service, everything. She especially appreciated the special dessert, compliments of Marisol.

Marisol was great! The opentable app was not. We made the reservation through opentable but the restaurant told us they did not accept breakfast reservations. Marisol was having issues with the app. I later received a snarky email from opentable telling me to “kindly” notify the restaurant if I intend to miss a reservation. I did not appreciate getting lectured for opentable’s flaw. Marisol was outstanding as always

Nice outdoor dining. Our server Cole was excellent and attentive.

Great service and yummy food. Can absolutely not beat the view and drinks were strong.

Great service. Nice atmosphere. Food was just OK.

I came here from 3 hours away to surprise my boyfriend for his boyfriend. I made a reservation so we would have a table to see the ocean. My boyfriend’s burger was made wrong even after clarifying that there would be no aioli on the burger. But when we got our food, there was the sauce on the burger. We waited 8 mins before my boyfriend had to walk up to someone to tell him that his burger was made wrong and to remake it. We waited for over 20 mins before we checked on the burger all while I’m waiting to eat my food and it was cold and overcook filet. When our server finally came around (after being there for 50 minutes with no food still to eat), and we asked if they can remake my steak because my food was cold while waiting for his burger to be done and he said they could reheat it. When we finally got them to make a new steak we just took everything to go back to our room and when we got there, our food was still wrong. We didn’t take a bite of our food until 1.5 hours of waiting. This is very unacceptable.

Good, but we were sitting near a noisy group.

Very pleased with the service. Everyone of the staff were very friendly and kind and accommodating. The food was decent; I am not a big eater. I would have liked to see more choices of appetizers that are smaller in size. I also would have appreciated some warm bread and butter with my wine. Overall though it was a pleasant experience.

Overall everything was fine but we found a hair in our food which they quietly replaced but we expected them to compensate with Atleast something with the inconvenience being caused. It was our anniversary usually we have seen other restaurants do something special but just didn’t get any good vibes here and felt like a very normal dinner

Food was okay, enjoyed the brussel sprouts appetizer, drinks and service were pretty good, entree was average. View/scenery was nice but somewhat blocked by overgrown plants. My husband and I visit the area reasonably often and like to checkout different places..so overall it was nice, not great.

Staff is second to none at the Marisol Restaurant and also throughout the entire Cliffs Hotel and Spa team. Food was also very good and timely. Ambiance was amazing and the staff truly wanted to make sure we had a great experience.

Not easy times due to Covid and regulations. The fish did not taste fresh. It was over cooked and dry.

Incredible ambiance and service, the menu choices were great and the food was delicious..

Menu changes but never disappoints. Best service I had at a restaurant, and strong drinks.

Great sunset dinner on the patio Heaters everywhere if needed. Great service from Jessica our server.

Drinks were terrible. Food was mediocre. View was great!

Filet mignon was excellent. Tasty and very tender. Potatoes and sauce w asparagus was very good. The garden salad could have had a little more tomatoes etc. and less greens.
I did not appreciate that an 18% “service fee” was already added into the bill and I was not told beforehand. I almost over-tipped. The Customer should decide the level of the tip, not the restaurant.

Fish tacos were really good, but my daughter’s pasta was absolutely dreadful.

The food and service was excellent. We watched the sunset on the patio during dinner. The ribeye was the best I have ever eaten.

Need to add more vegan option to their menu. Also trim some outdoor plants leaves for better sunset view from the lower patio.

Visiting for a romantic weekend and decided to make a reservation at Marisol (out of convenience). I was amazed by the "coziness," the outside temperature was controlled by heat lamps (by staff). The food was amazing. Halibut cooked to perfection. Dessert was decadent. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I will be back
!!!

No flavor on steaks or hamburgers. Steak was too rough.

The sun set beautifully and it got cool outside. They placed us right by the fireplace.
Thank you!
We will be back.
Oh yes Thanks for the free desert (it was our anniversary)

Went for a sunset dinner outdoor dining and cocktails. Views did not disappoint and the food was excellent!

Compared to our meal on the night before, the Avocado Chop Salad and Shrimp Risotto was much closer to the standards Marisol has shown on our previous stays.

The salmon overcooked, fish tacos - fish was crispy. So used to having great food from Marisol this meal was like being served from a cafeteria line. Blame it on the COVID-19 curse? Service was very good.

Given the COVID 19 concerns, we were please to find that Marisol had outside dining with nearby heatlamps. The service staff was attentive but not intrusive and met our needs. The venue was wonderful for us hoping to enjoy an early sunset due to daylight savings time change.

This was without a doubt the worst meal I have ever experienced. My wife and I barely took two bites each from our meals. The salmon was extremely dry and was served with some sort of puree that was awful. The filet had no flavor and it was served with cold potatoes. I was extremely disappointed especially since the meal was over $100. We left and ended up eating elsewhere. The view and the wait staff were nice which was unfortunately the only good part of our experience. I would strongly recommend eating elsewhere.

Phenomenal food with great people. Nachos appetizers were amazing.

We had a lovely breakfast on the front patio overlooking the ocean. The food portions are gigantic; easily shareable. Maria took excellent care of us. A wonderful way to start the day and enjoy Pismo Beach.

The food was not delicious/good at all. It took an hour to serve us food, all 7 of us didn’t like our dishes

Good overall experience...enjoyed the filet omelet and huevos ranchero.

Food was great. The deserts were presented well, but the taste was not good. Service was very poor in the morning and at lunch. We did find Ashley the waitress was very good and got a better tip because she had a great attitude. Morning time couldn't get a second cup of coffee and was never asked if I wanted more. I think the 18% was the big problem.

If there was a way to put negative stars I would! Simply the worst food I have had in my life- hands down. I’m 46 and this includes hospital and airplane food. Adding in the price, just beyond comprehension. This photo was a cheesecake? Inedible.

Trying to find parking was a nightmare, as there was none. When finally seated, we had no service for 30 minutes as we just sat there. It was like they totally forgot, we were even there. I had to go into the restaurant to get their attention and ask for service. Our table was extremely wobbly/unbalanced. Food was excellent, however initial service was horrible. Was our first time there.

We were thrilled that the Marisol had such lovely food.
