    What an amazing little bistro!! Such a breath of fresh air (and not just because the cozy outdoor seating). My husband, daughter and I all ordered different dishes for dinner and we were all impressed. The food was delicious, prices are reasonable, the staff is wonderfully polite and attentive and everything is just so comfortable. We had the best family dinner. The winter squash farrato was lovely and hearty and perfect for what I was looking for. My husband enjoyed the beef bourguignon with its classic flavorful rendition and a good portion of beef. Will be back frequently!

    We went to Marisol to celebrate a birthday and watch the sunset and it didn’t disappoint. The food was delicious and the ambiance was amazing. They brought us a celebratory non alcoholic shot to toast at sunset! So fun! I highly recommend Marisol for a special occasion or anytime!

    We took our Mother to lunch today and it was so great! Food was delicious, the mimosa flight was perfect for 2. Our server was so sweet and attentive. Made our reservation through Open Table, no fuss, and indicated a birthday celebration was the event, they comped the dessert and didn't make weird by singing 😀 10 out of 10, would recommend
