    Went there for a Saturday night date night. The place was crowded but not full. Aside from some rambunctious kids at the table behind us, the noise level was actually pretty tolerable. Wine selection was a little limited as compared to other places but we tried a red blend which was actually pretty good. The menu had a variety of foods from smash burgers to wagyu steak. Their prices were moderate but the food was great! Their fish and chips were the best I've ever had. My girlfriend order the lobster roll which she loved. For dessert we shared the chocolate nocciola which was rich and very chocolatey. Our server was Rachel and she was very attentive and prompt. Parking can be a problem at the Riviera but we got lucky and found a spot right away. We enjoyed this place so much we added it to our rotation...

    We dined at mar’sel tonight to celebrate my wife’s birthday. As always, the service was amazing. We decided to sit outside and it was a little chilly. They offered us blankets as the heaters warmed up. Such a nice touch. We ordered the special filet and ribeye along with the seabass. My daughter had the kids’ filet mignon. Everything was cooked beautifully. The service alone is reason enough to love Mar’sel. Add on the exquisitely prepared food and it has quickly become our go-to for special occasions.

    We went on a Thursday night. It was quiet. Service was great, and the food was great too. We took our seven-year-old and he had fun doing some coloring They also have a nice bar area with great selection of drinks including whiskies
