Marisol translates to The Sun and the Sea; and no where is this more evident than through the flavors of the food. The menu at Marisol has been developed as New Spanish-American Cuisine. As the premier choice of Pismo Beach restaurants, all of the dishes at Marisol are prepared with a soulful touch by Chef Troy Tolbert and Pastry Chef Derek Brown, featuring produce from fields of local farmers, seafood fresh off the boats of local fishermen, and naturally raised meats and poultry. The wine list for Marisol is awarded by Wine Spectator and has an amazing Selection of wines by the glass page with many local wines from Monterey to Santa Barbara County. For the finest oceanfront dining experience, try our award-winning Pismo Beach California restaurant Marisol at the Cliffs Hotel and Spa.

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!!

Great ambience, delicious food and excellent service. I’ve been to Marisol for lunch twice in two weeks. The experience was equally good both times.
