Arterra

This is a hotel restaurant but nice ambiance and servers are always nice. We stayed at this hotel a few times and eaten breakfast here or gotten a drink. The drinks are good and the breakfast is solid. Nothing crazy good but Standard breakfast, fresh squeezed OJ. They get super busy on weekends and if they have a busy hotel that week... prepare to be patient for your food and service. We once waited 40 minutes for food not including like 15 min just waiting to get our order taken. When we go to SD area it's not for business and leisurely so we had time. If the hotel is not swamped food will be normal service waiting times. We have gotten their egg Benedict and standard eggs and toast. Also had their avocado toast in the past.

So, is hotel food any good? It was actually quite good, but also still left me feeling craving more. I had a Philly roll and a Scrumptious roll. I can agree that both were indeed scrumptious. Not like mind blowing, but delicious. Our server was very kind and considerate. The ambiance is chill. I sat at the bar, but could've picked a table. The place was pretty empty looking, but maybe because we were early. For a restaurant inside a hotel, it was quite good. Prices are on the higher side for the amount of food, but I suppose it is okay not to overeat sometimes. If you are staying at the Del Mar Marriott, may as well eat here since you already paid for parking.

Beautiful modern restaurant in the Marriott. Dining area is spacious. A large open feel w/ high ceilings. Great place for drinks or a quick bite. Staff is always friendly. Excellent cocktail bar. Often we come here for cocktails.

Lovely hotel restaurant. Food was delicious. Mindy took good care of us. We would return.

We love this place! Don't be afraid to come into the hotel and have a nice dinner at Arterra, which is located within the Marriott Hotel. Incredible sushi and equally amazing drinks. The hotel smells like is Issey Miyake perfume when you walk in, very Vegas! Excellent service too. Plenty of parking out front or in their garage.

We ended up staying at the Marriott Del Mar with a few other families for our daughter's soccer tournament. Instead of trying to coordinate dinner elsewhere, we figured a nice dinner at the hotel would be nice... in comes Arterra. First off, their staff is absolutely world class!We wanted to have a dinner in a poolside cabana to allow the kids to swim and the manager, Brian, was super accommodating and walked us through making the reservation. We ended up with more families than expected and they quickly made room for us. For the evening, we were assigned Chris as our server and he was as patient as it gets and extremely attentive. The chips and guacamole were freshly made and super tasty. Their burger was pricey but used high quality meat and soft brioche bun and accompanied by fantastic fries. Our kids ate an extra order of fries, they were so good! The presentation of the butternut squash ravioli was exquisite and had great flavor! We overstayed our welcome and the team was took great care of us, even with splitting the bills between multiple families. We truly enjoyed our experience so much that we returned for breakfast!For breakfast, we had Juan and Yesi as our servers and they were as equally awesome as Chris. No lie, the servers are fantastic! The pancakes were some of the best we've had! Highly recommended!Thanks Brian, Chris, Juan and Yesi for a spectacular experience at Arterra. This will be our go to hotel for tournaments and can't wait to return to Arterra for all meals!!

Service was awesome. Shout out to our waiter, Chris! We came on a Friday night when they had live music by Tolan Shaw (which was the reason we came). We were there to celebrate a birthday, and the staff did a great job making him feel special. I loved the Marco Polo sushi roll. Wish they have more mocktail options. I'm surprised this place wasn't busier. Prices are a little premium, but I'd come back again.

It's not often that I dine in a restaurant that is part of a hotel but Arterra has a hidden gem when it comes to their small sushi bar run by Chef Andrew who opened the sushi concept 24 years ago. For the 2nd consecutive night ( yes - 2 straight nights, I dined here and had some fantastic nigiri and sushi as well as the braised short rib tacos. They have a limited sushi menu with no hot Japanese entrees such as bento or hot appetizers or main entrees. However, if you have your favorites from what you are accustomed to Chef Andrew can mostly make them as was the case when I wanted a Dragon Roll which was not on the menu. tfw Sushi Bar opens at 5 pm with Happy Hour for the general bar area opening at 4 pm. Service by the entire staff with Tom and Brian as well as Manager Ricardo (Ricki) were spot on. I should also mention that I met other guests who are regulars to Arterra along with another who also came for two consecutive nights to enjoy Chef Andrew's sushi creations!

Arterra is a restaurant located inside the Marriott in Del Mar. I came here for a work function and we had a private dining room just off the bar area. Parking is in the garage and the gate just opened for us both way in and out.We had a friendly and attentive wait staff servicing the private event. The food, while impressive in presentation and quantity, was ok in flavor. The salad was plain and was essentially a mixed green salad with maybe two pieces of artichoke and tomato. The entree was essentially a surf and turf with a piece of steak, 3 shrimp, half a potato filled with piped in mashed potato, some asparagus and carrots. The steak itself was cooked to an ok medium and retained it's juices. The shrimp though was rubbery and definitely overcooked. I also thought the potato was maybe the most interesting because they used the skin shell to pipe in mashed potato and then lightly browned the top. For dessert it was a super decadent dense chocolate mouse and I was only able to take two bites before stopping.The private room felt a bit tight and there was a lot of background noise from the bar close by, even when closing the door. Generally a good place for a work event but I likely wouldn't venture back on my own

We have been coming here for the last couple of years and never been disappointed. Always quality food and service. Nice quiet atmosphere and layout. Ask for Angle and tell him the Cobb Salad with Salmon sent you.
