My fiancé and I came here for our engagement dinner and it was an amazing experience to say the least. Our server Felix went above and beyond to make sure that we had a night to remember. He started off by seating us outside next to a glass fire h

The ocean views at mar'sel are absolutely breathtaking, creating an immaculate setting for a special evening out. This is probably why you book a reservation here. Unfortunately, the experience wasn't great with the service. Our initial wel
The best restaurant at Terrenea, hands down.
The outdoor view is incredible. The staff was all extremely nice. While waiting for a table, the bartender went out of his way to come over and make sure we got drinks. All the food was incredible. The staff were moving quick to make sure no one wa

I usually always am on yelp to leave terrible reviews or glowing reviews... going to have to split the middle here as the dinner started and ended well. The service/waiter/host were all fanastic. Chef sent out an excellent amuse bouche (gazpacho) s
Every experience has been wonderful here.
The food, service and ambiance is worth the trip. The waiters are attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable with the food and wine menu. The outdoor seating over looking the coast with heaters turned on next to you definitely sets the mood. They have se

We knew about Mar'sel as we've visited Terranea occasionally for the other restaurants, however never had the opportunity to dine here. Being our 26th anniversary, the Mrs suggested we try and we were not disappointed at all. For those w
Absolutely amazing meal from start to finish.
I haven't had a steak this good in a long time--perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful. The lobster risotto was another standout; the lobster was so tender it practically disappeared the second it hit my tongue. Even the bread was memorable--fre
The vibes are great.
You pay for amazing views, Michelin star chef food, rabbits, dolphins, great food, and of course great service from Chris. He's been there 12 years and made our first experience and anniversary unforgettable! We got a ton of apps like the scal

We sat outside with an amazing view of the ocean, and the weather was perfect. Our server Ben was so pleasant, attentive, and knowledgeable. He helped us make some good food choices. The scallops were my favorite thing on the menu. I also really lo

The service was average and the food was just about the same. We went there to celebrate a 60th birthday and everyone at the table was disappointed.
mar’sel dining experience
Felix was such an attentive server. He was knowledgeable about the menu and had great suggestions which proved to be winners. The menu at mar’sel is a delight with use of both seasonal and local ingredients - some of which are grown on the property
Absolutely a must enjoy!
A recent Saturday night dining experience at Mar'sel was truly exceptional. From the welcome upon our arrival and throughout the evening every detail was attended to. Steven and Noah, our servers were so very knowledgeable and explained in det
Deserves a Michelin star
We have eaten at Michelin star restaurants and quite honestly this was a far more memorable experience. All of the food was incredible, especially the butternut squash soup and the lobster potage. Desserts were wonderful - be sure to try the Old Fash
Wonderful experience!

Food was great, service was excellent.
... Sadly the hostess made the experience less memorable. I did not catch her name but it was an Indian girl. Absolutely rude demeanor, not welcoming. By far the worst host experience my wife and I have ever experienced. As long as she is there, we w
Overpriced, over glorified, and over rated.
We spent over $500 on an impromptu dinner date. Arrived around 7:45pm and the place was packed. Staff were busy yet accommodating. Unfortunately, the food was lacking in flavor... I've had better food at a diner. This was such a scam, the lamb chops

Went there for our anniversary celebration and had a great experience. Food was very good and our host was very attentive.
Your classic steakhouse at a hotel.
Nothing crazy but clean and good across the board. A lack of steak options was disappointing, they only had filet and a special 32 oz. We had the seafood platter which was awesome. Great crab with a green goddess sauce. Salmon and chili also excellen
Came here as a guest in the Terrenia resort.
The menu has good variety, with interesting specials. I personally enjoyed all of the food, but my father (who is pretty picky) had some complaints. We ordered the bread to share (good, but expensive), there was an amuse-bouche that I enjoyed, the bu

We have a tradition of dining at Mar'Sel for our anniversary. Last night we sat outside and we're nice and warm under the heaters. Our server Karla was an absolute delight, giving great advice and not making fun of me when I asked her questions like,
Hospitality at its absolute finest.
Impossible to overstate the ease with which the staff at Mar'sel provides impeccable service; from the kind offering of my preference to seating, to the chair being pulled out for me when I would rejoin the table, a blanket being provided for my lap

what an amazing restaurant! took mama for a pre-vday dinner.
we've stayed and dined at Terranea on several occasions, but, have not had the pleasure of Mar'sel. Oh, what have we been missing! the location is atop a hill, adjacent to the main pool. if you're driving in, it's pretty close to the parking area. t
Food and service was outstanding.
Our server Jesus was perfect! Can't beat the ambience.
Horrible food, not worth going
Ordered ceviche and it was definitely not ceviche. It was tasteless cooked shrimp with a bit of cucumber and tomato and tortilla chips. The food overall was so bad and they serve water in plastic cups which a) in that price segment makes no sense and

A few friends and I ate at Mar'sel while we were staying at Terranea resort. Overall, service was slow and food was just average, especially for the high price. We came when it was somewhat dark, so the beautiful setting was kind of lost. If you are
Waste of Time, Waste of Money.
Just had an anniversary dinner at Mar'sel. While the food was nice, it's definitely overpriced. However, I found that we were met with disrespect, left standing waiting on a table that was booked a week in advance. When seated, clearly being PC hasn
Special dinner with friends and family
Whenever I have a special dinner with adults I take them here. GORGEOUS views (we saw a pack of dolphins!) and the food and service are outstanding.
A fabulous dining!
Wonderful dining experience. From the room, to the setting, to the service and of course the meal itself. Highly recommended.

Heard this place had a fantastic bar so we absolutely went to check it out. And the reviews were TRUE! Probably the best spicy Marg I’ve ever had. My husband and I went with another couple for drinks before our dinner reservations and this place

Mar'sel is so special! The outside patio is amazing with panoramic ocean views. Our server Steven was so wonderful and manager Isvan made our night complete with complimentary champagne and checking on us often. The food was out of this world and my
Wish I new about Mar'sel sooner. I live in LA, but not sure how I missed being her sooner. I will be back!
First time here and was blown away by location, food and staff. Clearly the best kept secret in the South Bay / LA area. can't wait to be back to see friends or stay. We have a company retreat this fall, this is the place I will recommend!
Spectacular Mar'sel
Just spectacular! From the moment you arrive, they make you feel so special. I came to meet friends for impromptu dinner and it didn't disappoint. Our server Steven was graceful, personable and thoughtful. The menu is special and difficult to decide

After having lunch at Catalina Kitchen (which was delicious), I had high hopes for Mar'sel. Getting there was a little confusing but maybe that was our fault. Do you take a shuttle or do you not take a shuttle? There were no clear signs in the hotel.
This might be one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles.
Yes, there are other restaurants with great views. Yes, there are other restaurants with beautiful decor. Yes, there are other exceptional steak-houses. Yes, there are other restaurants with world-class service. But I don't think there's another

Connect with users posting reservations for Mar'sel Rancho Palos Verdes
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Mar'sel Rancho Palos Verdes. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Mar'sel Rancho Palos Verdes at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Mar'sel Rancho Palos Verdes page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Mar'sel Rancho Palos Verdes to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Mar'sel Rancho Palos Verdes!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
