Terranea Resort
City/Region: Rancho Palos Verdes
From romantic dinners to business meetings, this resorts collection of
eight Palos Verdes restaurants has a table reserved for every party. Taking
full advantage of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island views, each res-
taurant promises tastes that satisfy and sights that surprise. For a perfect
Palos Verdes dining experience, the chefs take a fresh approach to all
meetings and events by personally tailoring menus and utilizing mod-
ern techniques with an emphasis on regional and seasonal ingredients.
Here’s a look at a couple of their options.
Set overlooking the Pacific Ocean with stunning views, mar’sel at Ter-
ranea offers the ideal location for an elegant dinner or relaxed late night
bite. Mar’sel (a play on the Spanish word for “sea” and the French word for
“salt”) offers a decidedly inventive twist on California cuisine. With a sea-
sonally rotating fine dining menu that features locally sourced ingredients
(citrus and herbs from the resort’s grounds, hand-ground chocolate, farm-
fresh eggs), as well as playful takes on culinary favorites, mar’sel combines
approachable luxury with a breathtaking setting perfect for every palate.
Recognized as one of the top ten eco-friendly bars in the U.S., Nelson’s
is the place to enjoy fresh California comfort cuisine, delicious microbrews
and spectacular sunsets. With a view of the Point Vicente Lighthouse and
Catalina Island, this Southern California fine dining restaurant offers one
of the most scenic locations in Palos Verdes to enjoy a meal or drink in
a casual setting. Take in the sunset on the patio by the fire pits, or relax
inside and catch a sports event at the bar countertop made of recycled
wine bottles. This is a Palos Verdes dining experience you’ll never forget.
