    If you’re looking for a restaurant where every bite feels like a celebration and the service makes you feel like family, this place is it! From walking in the door, Noah one of the front attendants was warm and so very helpful. The food and drinks is nothing short of exceptional—each dish a masterpiece bursting with flavor and care. (The BLT Mac, Surf and Turf, Scallop Special, Brussels, Corn and Red Velvet). Our server Jonathan was a gem: warm, friendly, and full of helpful suggestions that made choosing almost impossible (because everything sounded so good!). He took the time to answer questions and made us laugh, all while ensuring our glasses were never empty and our table always perfect. The vibe? So cozy and inviting, we could’ve stayed for hours just soaking it all in. This isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience. Don’t walk, run to this place!

    Visited Mar Y Sol for date night and we had a great experience. Started off with drinks at the bar and asked for recommendations as it was our first time; we ended up going with the hibiscus dragon and the el sabio. Both were great! Once at the table, our server, Andrew, suggested the pulpo al carbon (octopus), the yellowtail ceviche ans the tuna tiradiro, the tuna was my favorite dish of the night!! We had the parillada Argentina for our main course, which is definitely intended to be shared. The meats were tender and the sauces were flavorful. Finished the night with the pina colada crème brûle, which was served in a pineapple, so creative! We let Andrew guide our order with his recommendations and we were not disappointed. He was extremely knowledgeable, which we appreciated as foodies! Lastly, the vibes were there! From the dj to the saxophone and bongos players who walked around the dinner room, it all reminded us of Tulum. Overall, we had a great night and we will definitely be back, 10/10!

    I took my son for a birthday lunch and we were absolutely blown away. One typically does not think sushi in TX, however we were given this recommendation by family who knows good sushi and we were not disappointed! The atmosphere was perfect. The staff was attentive and prompt without being intrusive. The food was simply top tier! Comparable to high end NYC places near where we live. Highly recommended if youre in Dallas!!
