My husband and I hosted our wedding reception dinner at Marisella, and we could not be more grateful for the experience. The food was exceptional, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was truly outstanding. Erica and Milo went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly, making us and our guests feel welcomed, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the evening.

Food was good not great. Small portions. Went early so restaurant not crowded but still placed at a less favorable table with no view and next to waiters station. Never offered dessert. Just handed the check. Wasn’t even done with my wine yet. Felt very rushed. Would not go back.
Absolutely lovely staff, food and ambiance. I proposed to my lady here and they brought out the ring for me with my appetizer. Called me before hand and what we planned worked out perfectly. I appreciate you all!!

Marisella is located at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara, with an elevated experience beginning from the valet circular drive. The ambience is very romantic, clean, and elegant with dim lights. For Valentine’s Day, the restaurant offered a curated four-course menu or a pre-selected menu with appetizers, entrées, and desserts rather than à la carte ordering. The food and drinks were amazing, excellent, flavorful, well presented, and delicious. Specific meals like the filet mignon were especially tasty. The courses were well executed and thoughtfully paced.
Service was somewhat mixed but overall very good. Guests are greeted warmly and seated promptly. The support staff—runners, bussers, and cocktail servers—were polished, attentive, proactive, friendly, and great. However, on a holiday, the primary waitress could seem informal and borderline overwhelmed. The staff is very mindful of allergies, handling accommodations professionally. The bar offers full service, with bartenders making excellent cocktails like the old fashioned, though the exclusive cocktail menu itself is fairly small. The wine list is strong with plenty of higher-end selections.
The overall experience is truly one of the best dining experiences, especially for a major holiday evening, and many would absolutely return. On a typical night, the bar is open if reservations are full. However, some policies, like paying a deposit for specific window tables, can disappoint guests who request them ahead of time without pre-payment, potentially detracting from a celebration.
