Spring is here and our local Southern California farmer’s markets are filled with wonderful, fresh produce!

mar’sel is currently featuring a starter of Fresh Gioa Burrata Cheese served with Fresh English Peas and their Tendrils with Parmesan Cheese and Grilled Focaccia Bread. This makes for a wonderful and delicious springtime dish, a promise of the even warmer months that are just around the corner.

As of the first of this year, mar’sel in Los Angeles is now open 7 nights a week and starting Saturday, March 30 will be open for new Brunch service on Saturdays and Sundays from 11am-2:30pm. Please call 310-265-2701 for reservations.

Spotlighting Your Culinary Heritage: 

A big trend at wedding receptions this year is incorporating each couple's own cultural background throughout the culinary experience for their guests during wedding celebrations.  Whether it’s at the rehearsal dinner, cocktail reception or throughout the entire wedding day and weekend - couples are excited to customize their wedding menus to include their own cultural heritage and family traditions. See below for more information on how couples have added this emerging wedding trend to their Los Angeles weddings at Terranea Resort.

Brunch is coming to mar'sel!! Just in time for the spring season, Chef Rebecca Merhej has announced a new weekend brunch service at mar’sel set to begin this Easter weekend. Keeping with the restaurant’s values, Merhej has created a brunch menu inspired by seasonal and handcrafted ingredients including house made breads, pastries, meats, and vegetables fresh from the garden. See below for more details and menu items!

The Terranea Catering Team shares fantastic details and photos from a beautiful early August wedding at Terranea Resort. See below for all the pretty details!!

We are lucky that being located on the coast of beautiful Southern California makes rain or cold weather a very rare occurrence for us at Terranea. However, there are a few days when Mother Nature decides to water the beautiful land of Terranea. In those few cases, our Terranea Concierge and Activities teams have put together some fun rainy day options.

See below for the list!

Nelson’s, Terranea Resort's ocean view restaurant, is now accepting reservations! Over the years many people have experienced the long waits at Nelson’s for a chance to see spectacular sunsets, whales migrating, or to just relax with some great music during our summer concert series. For those of you who are not fans of the long waits, you can now call ahead and make your reservation in advance! As many of you know, now is the ideal time of year to see whales migrating south. Come on down to Nelson's, see the Whales, ring the Whale bell, and sit back and enjoy a beautiful sunset! To book your reservations please call (310) 265-2836.

On our recent (02/2013) visit, our stay was made very special by the attentiveness and outstanding service of Marissa Edwards (Director of all things Fun) for sure, and Megan Fink (Concierge). Worries just melt away at Terranea.
