Please keep in mind this review reflects expected outcomes vs cost. If I’m at a restaurant where my meal is easily over $100/plate (which before tip is easy to do here) then I fully expect the best meal and service possible for this area. The lamb chops were excellent, but other food items were below expectation. It’s amazing how one wrong thing can sorta ruin the experience though. In this case it was the fact that one of my guests asked for 2 pieces of bread and the wait staff said that he could only have one. I’ve never personally been to a restaurant that ever denied a patron a second piece of bread, let alone a restaurant of this price. It left a bad taste (metaphorically speaking) in our mouth. Too much competition in this town to return to this place. The steak house we went to the next day was wonderful. We’ll return there.

We dined at Marisol on New Year’s Eve 2025 as a family party of six. Our server was incredibly helpful, attentive, and made us feel well cared for throughout the evening. We began with the foie gras, which was excellent, and we were also pleasantly surprised by the cocktails—they were well balanced and generously poured.
Unfortunately, the entrées were a disappointment. My mother ordered the tilapia and requested it without salt, but it arrived extremely salty to the point that she was unable to eat it. I ordered the lamb cooked medium well due to a sensitive stomach, but it was served very rare and quite pink. I didn’t feel comfortable eating it, and unfortunately became very ill later that evening, missing the New Year’s countdown as a result.
While we are happy to pay higher prices for high-quality food and careful preparation, the execution of the entrées did not meet expectations for the price point. We truly appreciated the service and some standout items, but hope the kitchen can be more attentive to preparation requests and consistency in the future.

O. M. G. if you haven’t eaten here you have missed the best thing about the Grandover Resort area. I had an appetizer and couldn’t finish it. It killed me because of how good it was. Staff is spot on and food is amazing!

The food was excellent, and in the right environment the price would make sense. However, the restaurant did not feel clean. The ceiling tiles were a mess, the service was friendly but way too casual for 5 star food. Dinner for two was just shy of $300 and we only had one cocktail and no wine. Apps, soup and entree and 1 drink each the bill was $300. Atmosphere fell more like a diner.

We enjoyed watching the chefs prepare our meals from the dining room. Wonderful appetizers, great selection of wine by the bottle. I ordered the duck, very crispy skin but beautifully cooked meat. The staff was very attentive keeping our glasses full and providing us with a variety of fresh breads. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable on all the menu offerings.

The Atmosphere was not the best. We were seated close to the door with the table half on a brick wall and half on a window. I felt crowded. There were empty tables toward the back that were not as crowded. The food was overpriced. The steak was not juicy it was on the dry side. I ordered lamb fully cooked and when I got the plate the first time it was still rare inside. They took the plate and brought back the same plate with the same lamb and sides. They had barely cooked the lamb as it was still med-rare inside. They took the plate back a second time. They brought it back a third time with the same plate and cut up lamb and side that had been on there at this point it seemed ridiculous that I had sent this same plate back. I was hungry and my friend had already tried to wait to eat his food as I was waiting on mine to be fixed. The lamb this time was a medium well. I just ate it this time. I didn’t appreciate the server trying to make an excuse by saying “sometimes it’s hard for them to tell if it’s well done because of the bone.” This is supposed to be a 5 star fine dinning restaurant and to me it seems that they should know how to fully cook meat. It is unacceptable to make excuses for poorly served food. There is a thing called a meat thermometer. I will definitely not go back.
Great food, good experience, and quiet mature atmosphere as we celebrated a private 65th birthday celebration
My guy ordered the lamb chops, and he said they didn't disappoint, I had the center cut filet and was equally pleased. There were dollops of sweet potatoes, red cabbage, and green beans. It was barely enough to enjoy.
Good food and ambiance, happy for this experience.

My husband and I go a couple of times a year to treat ourselves on special occasions, and it’s our favorite of all time. Scott and Heather are so fun, and Robin the owner is a genius in cuisine! The sweetest most genuine person you’d ever meet, creates the most delectable dishes. Must try if you haven’t, and if you have, you will return

Some of the best food in the area. However the 90’s decor and incredibly bad service make this place a pass. When we called to complained the staff didn’t seem to give a care in the world.
