   Delicious dishes, delightful servers, and beautiful space. Lovely lunch place. Ordered sunflower hummus (again), salmon tartine, and golden grains salad. We cleaned it happily. We also tried their house cookies box— we are so glad that we did. Salted chocolate chip cookie was thick and delicious. Matcha almond cookies were divine. We might crave these cookies very very soon.

   Wonderful food, darling atmosphere, great service. We went during lunch and it was the best Turkey Sandwich I’ve ever tasted. Also the chickpea salad is to die for! Marisol won’t disappoint.

   Outstanding dishes! Sunflower hummus is out of this world. Kale salad was rich but light. Turkey sandwich was great. I love the coffee here too. Wonderful servers and beautiful space. Will come again and recommend friends.

   We arrived 15 minutes early and they wouldn't seat us even though the restaurant was half empty. I get it -- probably the labor shortage, but once we were at our table, it took a couple attempts to get a tiny cup of ketchup as requested. The food was pretty, but a little wanting. The pomme frites seemed like leftover potatoes -- tiny stubby fries. The salmon tartine was beautifully presented, but I don't think it was served on the house-made focaccia. Not a great value for the cost.

    I used to eat at Marisol pre-pandemic and always enjoyed it..so it was really a disappointment when I had lunch there recently/ My sandwich was dry, the break was stale ( or I'm not sure, half toasted?) I took my friend for her birthday and she looked like she would be hungry from the size of her portion. ( Neither of us are big eaters) When I asked to see the dessert menu to order something for her birthday, I was told that they didn't have any desserts except for ice cream. About ten minutes later, out came a half melted dish of ice cream with a candle on top. My friend said that it tasted funny and when I tasted it I agreed. Our server was very hassled since she seemed to be in charge of the whole section. I had to ask twice for a refill on my ice tea. I know that there is a shortage of help in the restaurant business, I know that there is a supply chain problem and I know that there is an economic issues. However that doesn't excuse charging higher prices for smaller portions and lower quality. When you are treating someone to a meal, it is embarrassing to have to apologize for your restaurant choice. I hope that things will improve and Marisol will be back to the restaurant it was and struggles to be.

    The food is exciting. However, the service was a little slow. But, it seems lack of help is common in most businesses these days. And, once our server was able to wait on us, he did a fine job and was attentive and responsive to our needs. At any rate, the food was worth the wait and I am happy to see MCA thriving from the increased business.

    Our waiter was terrific. Service excellent. I had turkey sandwich and side bean salad. Excellent. My husband had salmon/cucumber sandwich which he gave a thumbs up. Another friend had ham & cheese sandwich which she gave a thumbs down (difficult to eat, too gooey). Our booth was comfortable. Overall restaurant a bit sterile looking - not much atmosphere. But super convenient while at the MCA.

    When listing ingredients of a dish, and one or another ingredient is notable for being sourced from a particular farm, or is a particular type of vegetable or fruit, it would be helpful to see that the ingredient is from xxxx farm or is a xxxx variety of fruit or vegetable. This avoids the customer having to ask the server, What is a Smith? when Smith is the the name of the farm producing the chicken ingredient. Besides the food being unusual, delicious, and appealingly plated, It is very common that a customer will order something with ingredients he/she never heard of and never encountered before.

    Difficult to hear…nothing to blunt sound with music and conversation. Food expensive for what you get. Pancakes too thick, burritos mostly wrap not inside ingredients, nothing with breakfast sandwich ( fruit? ). Food arrived cold and took a long time once order was place. Not a value!

    Seating in the chamber of screaming child and without adequate air conditioning as compared to the normal seating areas was dreadful. Server offering hot sauce to help improve the flavorless breakfast burrito was nice, until i waited 5 minutes before deciding to just eat it without as the server hadn’t come back with it. When I had a few bites left the hot sauce finally showed up. Very disappointed as past experiences have always been positive.

    My companion enjoyed her turkey sandwich on bread so delicious she wondered allowed who supplied it. My burger was done just as I requested. The service was so attentive that as I finished my last sip of iced tea, another arrived with lime as I had originally ordered without my asking. My server knew of my food allergies/sensitivities from my reservation without my reminding her. We will return.
