Celebrated my wife's birthday at Marisol at the Cliffs Hotel with our sons. Great meal on the patio overlooking the beach. We had the filet mignon with baked potato and broccolini, grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies, Hamburger and fries. Everything was delicious with good cocktails and the service was excellent. Beautiful restaurant.

Beautiful view outside; food absolutely fine. As a party of 2 with a reservation, we were seated in a non-ideal table outside (behind a bush, farther from the view) (even though many better tables were open, include some 2-tops) and have made a note to go with 3 or more people in the future. I also did not appreciate being called "Mrs." but recognize that I am of the age.

Erik our server was on top of it! He met our requests without fail (5 woman). Kept our diet soda flowing. Made sure we had all the things. He was complimentary and funny! It was a wonderful experience. Oh and sitting on the patio, on a beautiful day in Shell Beach was just the cherry on top! The Quinoa Avocado salad is second to NONE! Delicious salad!!
