This is my second time there with a group. First time was for dinner, and second time was for brunch. Both times the service was outstanding, great recommendations from the servers, beautiful ambience, excellent food. Can’t wait for my next visit.

Super crowded and very loud, almost impossible to order drinks or food. Drinks are expensive and are almost all ice. Impossible to hear people. Friendly staff tho.

I want to like Mariels so bad but the food is so overpriced for what you get and they dim the lights and blast the music by 9. It becomes impossible to have a conversation or attempt to enjoy your meal. Service is great- never had a bad experience there. Just overall not somewhere I ever want to go

The dishes served here I can't put into words. You have to try them. The chefs put together flavorful masterpieces with special attention to the plating. It really did capture the essence of Cuban cuisine. The ambiance was just the cherry on top that would put this way over 5 stars. That's without even mentioning the cocktails, which were spot on. Great job all around.
Wonderful experience, atmosphere and drinks, but the atention was the tiebreaker of the night, Cristian and Gabriel were incredible... A

I was deeply disappointed by the experience we had with this restaurant. We had made a reservation, but unfortunately, an unexpected family emergency occurred. My young child was rushed to the hospital with a dangerously high fever. Naturally, our priority was her health, but as soon as we could, we called the restaurant to explain the situation and cancel our booking.
We tried to reach them 3–4 times, but each time we were placed on hold without being able to speak to anyone. When they finally called us back, it was too late. Despite our explanation of the circumstances, they showed no empathy or understanding. Instead, they responded rudely, insisting that we still had to pay the cancellation fee. To our shock, they charged us $175.
While I understand the importance of reservation policies, I believe that compassion and flexibility are crucial in the hospitality industry. Emergencies happen, and the way a business handles such situations reflects its values. Unfortunately, this restaurant’s lack of understanding left us with a very negative impression. I cannot recommend a place that prioritizes policy over basic human kindness.

Beautiful restaurant for a candlelit dinner, HOWEVER do not expect gracious service. I reserved a table for my best friend’s birthday, expecting a nice night out. As soon as we walked in to be seated we were met with 3 gossiping servers. Although we had informed the establishment ahead of time of eating vegan, she revealed that she had already talked to the chef ahead of time and there are no vegan options. If you book through capital one, you are able to get a special gift with your reservation however when she served the dish she framed it as being because there were no other options for us. VEGANS or anyone with dietary accommodations, beware. This place is unaccommodating and the waiters/waitresses are snarky, judgmental, and unhelpful. Way to ruin a celebratory night.
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are FEW. Vegan options limited to two small dishes, and no vegan desserts at all. Chef will not make substitutions.
Dietary restrictions: Absolutely no accommodations. We tried ordering dessert with no alcohol ingredients (halal) and they did not accommodate.

Stepping into Mariel feels like entering another world—a vibrant, high-energy atmosphere that instantly sets the stage for a memorable dining experience. The menu dazzles with creativity, delivering dishes that surprise and captivate from the first bite. Each plate is a masterful combination of flavors, presented with flair that keeps you engaged and entertained. The unexpected pairings and inventive presentations make every bite an experience, and the flavors are so exquisite, they practically dance on the palate. The service is just as impressive, with a team that’s attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making your meal extraordinary. An absolute triumph in taste, ambiance, and service; we’ll definitely be returning!
