The only disappointing thing is that they ask customers to pay for the benefits of the employees versus just working it into the price very tacky and somewhat embarrassing for the employees
Dinner at Marisella was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The unbelievable Pacific Ocean views. The food was amazing, our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was excellent, and the service was impeccable. I especially appreciated the portion sizes — perfectly balanced and just the right size, with a more European feel rather than oversized portions.
Everything came together beautifully — atmosphere, views, food, wine, and the attention to details 🤍

We had such a great dinner at Marsela. The service was amazing, and everything we ordered was delicious. The ravioli was incredible, but the Wagyu steak really stood out for me. Honestly, it was one of the best Wagyu steaks I’ve had at a restaurant. perfectly cooked, super tender, and full of flavor.
We really enjoyed the whole experience and felt very well taken care of throughout the evening. Great food, great service, and definitely a place I’d come back...read full review

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.
