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.

And in case an oceanview conference room isn't quite close enough to the beach, a 6,750-square-foot poolside terrace serves as the ideal location for afternoon meetings.

Prime rib was beautifully presented and was tender and tasty. The vegetables were really well seasoned. I have never had broccolini that good. Gnocchi was the best I've ever had, its sauce was incredible. Great service everywhere starting from the valets and hostesses to finally the wait staff. Sunset comes too early this time of year to see it but we sat overlooking the ocean. They even brought out a surprise dessert for our birthday celebration. Can't wait for our next meal here.

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.
