Vibe: Oceanic views amidst darkness

Mar'sel offers breathtaking ocean views from its location, making it a favorite for romantic evenings. Its wine selection is praiseworthy with cocktails and pairings to match. However, the ambiance remains a point of dispute depending on lighting preferences and some find the interior outdated in comparison to the bright oceanscape.

  • Okay Ambiance

    Some find the ambiance perfect, others find aspects like lighting lacking.

  • Negative Buzz

    Dark, outdated interior compared to bright sea scape view

Perks: Kid-friendly with varied services

Mar'sel accommodates large groups and is a height of convenience for families with kids, providing ample staff support and kid-friendly menus. Guests can choose between valet or free self-parking. The effectiveness of service depends largely on the day, however, making the experience somewhat inconsistent. Despite such advantages, the restaurant's noise levels and uncomfortable patio furniture do subtract from the overall experience.

  • Great For Kids

    High chairs, kid-friendly menu, accommodating staff, and enjoyable kid portions.

  • Okay To Park

    Valet available, though some prefer the ample free self-parking lot.

  • Bad Outdoor

    Patio furniture uncomfortable, too dim to see food at night.
