Don’t miss the extraordinary Sunday Brunch, complete with a “kids” buffet.

mar'sel

Open for Dinner Tuesday through Saturday. Reservations are recommended. Terranea’s signature restaurant, mar’sel, (Spanish for “sea” and French for “salt,”) is a destination in and of itself. This classic Southern California Oceanfront restaurant has a warm residential feel complementing a menu reflecting a simple, modern representation of California cuisine. Herbs and produce are grown on property in the chef’s herb and vegetable garden. An emphasis is placed on procuring ingredients from the area, resulting in a menu that is truly Californian. Enjoy a hand-crafted cocktail at mar’sel. Indoor and outdoor seating take full advantage of mar’sel’s stand-alone locale overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. Outdoor diners can bask in the warmth of a stone fire pit in this dramatic setting. An intimate Private Dining Room with seating for 16 offers stunning views and the perfect venue for that special occasion.

Ceilo - Adult Pool Bar

Open Daily for Lunch & Afternoon Cocktails | No end to sun-drenched offerings at Terranea, the casual eatery at Cielo Point is adjacent to the adult pool at the head of the Discovery Trail, making it convenient to explore the adjacent areas and return to the Resort in a short walk.

Even canine friends can enjoy the view as doggie resting places are located next to the trail.

Lobby Bar

Open Daily | The Lobby Bar, Living Room and Terrace at Terranea are the welcoming spots of the Resort. Indoor and outdoor seating offers some of the most breathtaking views. Beverage offerings include classic cocktails with a modern twist, wine by the glass emphasizing California wines, and micro brewed regional and international beer varieties. Enjoy these ideal settings for a pre-dinner meeting, a social gathering spot, a place to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea in the afternoon or to relax with an after-dinner nightcap.

Nelsons

Restaurant and Bar | Open Daily for Lunch & Dinner | A particularly scenic and noteworthy dining option is Nelson’s located directly above the Pacific. With a view to the Point Vicente Lighthouse, Nelson’s offers one of the most scenic locations from which to enjoy a meal in a casual setting. Menu offerings include regional favorites presented in a casual atmosphere while you relax by outdoor fire pits and soak in the incredible natural beauty of the coastline. Enjoy a wide array of beverages including California wines, micro brewed beers and specialty blended drinks. Canine friends are accommodated outside with a doggie resting place and water to wet their whistle. Nelson’s is furnished with items using recycled material - the bar countertop is made of recycled wine bottles. Nelson’s is a tribute to Mike Nelson, the character played by Lloyd Bridges in the famed Sea Hunt television series.

Beautiful property, still a few bugs to

Vacationer Jul 2, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

We loved the beautiful property and couldn't ask for a nicer room or location. However, one day we went to breakfast and ... when we returned the maid was in our room. We left and walked the grounds for an hour and came back and she still wasn't done. So we left again, came back after another hour, and the room was not ready, her cart was in our room, but she wasn't, yet the door was left ajar! So we found her (she spoke no english) but communicated that she'd finish quickly so we waited 15 minutes in the hallway and when we went back in after she left we found that she had not replenished any of the essentials, nor emptied the trash or taken the dirty towels. We called her back in and she corrected everything very politely, but we felt we wasted a whole morning. We also were disappointed that while the hotel offers self-park and valet, they offer valet only (no self-park) if you are an overnight guest. HUH? So we paid the extra money for valet as well as had to tip every time we used our car. Don't offer self-park if you aren't going to allow guests to use it! There were a couple other inconveniences (we waited 1 1/2 hrs for 2 forks to be brought to our room, though after 1/2 hr my husband went to the restaurant and got them himself (an hour after that some were brought to our room). Also, our in-room coffee pot didn't work properly, so we had to request (2x) a new one. Fitness Ctr is great, but one morning no one was in attendance so there was no water and guests had to let each other in the room as doors were locked. I don't know how the first guest got in there (??) (Other times the Fitness Ctr was well attended.) Having said all that, we still had a wonderful stay and think the resort is absolutely gorgeous. Perhaps a little more time to work out the kinks and it'll be perfect.
