Beautiful spot to enjoy a sunset dinner or drinks on the patio. Attentive and friendly staff, relaxing ambiance, delicious food and drinks.

Great experience. The outdoor seating provides a nice oceanfront view. AJ our waiter is outstanding. A go to spot for great food and ambience. Highly recommend

Laura

Love the food, the selection, the service and of course the view! We love that we can just walk from The Cliffs Resort over to Marisol when we're staying in Pismo

My fish was overcooked. The oysters were good. Service was slow. Wines by the glass were very mediocre. Bathroom needed cleaning.

Sharon

Great food. Birthday boy got a filet that was cooked to perfection. Came with a complimentary strawberry shortcake large enough for sharing. Ordered a couple of desserts to take home for later.

I can't say enough good things about Marisol. Stayed at the Cliffs for honeymoon in '24 and ate at Marisol about 5-6 times despite many other options; we just couldn't get enough. Returned recently and had the same wonderful experience.

Food is excellent whether for breakfast, happy hour appetizers, or dinner. The grassy bay oysters are some of the best available, and the honeydew granita served with them was brilliant & unforgettable. We were able to alternate between decadent dinners, and lighter meals over the course of our trip, which kept us going back.

Service is 5 stars. Some of the best we've ever experienced. Kudos to all the hosts, servers, and bartenders who have been so hospitable.

Ambience is also 5 stars, whether seated on the patio at breakfast or sunset, in the bar for happy hour, or fireside in the dining room. The fireside spot will always give us fond memories of our honeymoon & anniversary. We will always return to Marisol. This place has surprisingly come to mean a lot to us, so a huge thank you to everyone involved! ❤️

If you are in the area, passing through, or staying at the resort you need to stop in here for brunch or dinner. A beautiful cliffside view will dazzle you while you dine on unique dishes and enjoy the excellent service. You will find your glass will never be empty and you taste buds will be amazed. This is my second time dining and the food is worth coming back to again! The whole menu is beautiful and quite enjoyable on a delightful afternoon.

My wife order the sea bass which was in a beet sauce which was awful. My Halibut was a very thin piece that was over cooked. Both meals were very disappointing.

Appetizers were all a bust for me. Crab cakes was almost 35-40% crab (wish it was lump crab) and the rest was everything else. Taquitos was pretty bland, I know their was chicken in there, but I only tasted potatoes more. The ribeye rub was really good. Risotto was good too, though the celery? chunks were a bit too much and too big. The pistachio pesto parmesan crust on halibut was good. Although, they're was slightly a bit too much parmesan, but it was still an excellent dish. Broccoli Rabe could have used more seasoning.

On a rainy day, inside by the fireplace is the perfect place for breakfast. However, I am sure on a brillant sunny day, with an ocean view the setting would be equally as satisfying.

Staff was very attentive without being intrusive.

Loved the hashbrowns...perfection. Sauce on eggs benedict a bit off, but ham, and biscuit made up for it.

Jose was our server and he was outstanding professional friendly. He is a great representative for your team at Marisol.

Bill

Excellent. Incredible views, great menu, superb service. When one of our party had to take a work call just as food was arriving, our server refired his entree to ensure the best experience - top-notch service!

Great view, great service, great wine selection. I would expect a LOT more from the food. We both had Filet. I substituted a baked potato which they said was no issue. The food came.. my husbands, w risotto was fine.. My whole meal was ice cold.. potato was wide open and lukewarm. I spoke to the waiter, he sent it back for a full refire. We talked a lot about the importance of a very hot baked potato. When it returned, the steak was hot but the new potato still barely warm. They were apologetic and sent the manager. WE are not picky people and will probably try it again on our next visit. I had eaten there one time in the past, at the bar.. and had no complaints with food. Hopefully just a 1 off
