    Service (waitress) was good. Very kind and made sure we were taken care of. Food was good and decently priced. Only issue was the timing of the food. By the time I received my food, my wife was already done with her meal, so I ended up rushing eating my meal.

    I do not recommend Arterra. Hotel restaurants have been improving but not this one - and it is a nice hotel. The cioppino was basically inedible except for the shrimp, which was good. The Caesar salad was soggy. There are at least 10 excellent restaurants in Del Mar and another 10 pretty good ones. This isn't one of them.

    The food staff and service not only met but exceeded our expectations. The menu was creative and extremely fairly priced. From the chefs sushi tasting to the rib steak beyond what a hotel restaurant typically offers. Jose, Ken, Mindy & Chris went above and beyond to ensure world class service during our short stay. Can not wait to return.

    It was my special birthday, and the waiter Chris, made it even special with his friendly and nice service. The seared tuna was delicious! The deserts were also perfect as they were not too sweet which brought out the flavor.

    Feels like you are in the hotel lobby, went for a business meeting and service was very slow and not attentive. Only had about 3 tables occupied, with small parties

    We were impressed with the food. I was delighted to see they had a couple vegan options, including the Shitake Roll and Hummus Plate. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive.

    My wife and I decided to treat ourselves to a staycation in the Del Mar area. We came across the Marriot in Del Mar which was a prime location since it was in proximity of other shopping, dining, and beach areas. We became hungry one evening and didn't feel like driving anywhere, and ended up eating at the Arterra located in the lobby of the Marriot. Upon our arrival we were greeted by our very cordial host, Chris, who was very welcoming and provided plenty seating options depending on our mood for the evening. Chris provided us a very pleasant table for my wife and I. There was upbeat vibe since there was a live musician during our visit. There were plenty of food options on the menu. Our compliments to chef, Ron, who was able to cook up some delectable dishes including: the duck; cheese board; and pear salad. My wife and I shared most of the food and cleared our plates entirely. The drinks were very invigorating as well. Overall we had a pleasant experience and will definitely eat at the Arterra the next time we're in town.
