Editorial Description by Citysearch
In Short
In the lobby of the Gaslamp Marriot, Soleil is a warm and inviting room with rich tones, modern fixtures and a comfortable feel. Long banquet tables seat as many as 20, but are typically divided by centerpieces to appease smaller parties of hip Gaslamp regulars and less trendy hotel guests. The restaurant serves three meals daily, with the dinner menu offering fresh twists on traditional American fare including short ribs, duck, chicken, steak and seafood.

I had this delivered to me while I was at the rooftop bar/lounge! I had the chicken strips which were amazing for such a simple food. It was delivered just like room service it was awesome!

Great Atmosphere!  4 Star Rating - Very good

By Kim H.

This isn't like your typical chain hotel dining experience. The Gaslamp has more than it's share of restaurants to choose from, but this restaurant located in the Marriott hotel deserves your consideration. The atmosphere is cozy but sophisticated and the food was really good. Recommended!

Great lunch spot 4 Star Rating - Very good

By Coloradogirl09

I really like this place. I was visiting San Diego to see a friend and she recommended Soleil @k to me. The lunch was delicious! I had the lobster BLT and it was SO good. The flatbreads are also a really great starter.

Pros: Great location, right in the Gaslamp Quarter

Bad Service 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By BeckyPerez

I have a "family" breaksfast last weekend in this delicious brunch buffet, but we were sitted like 25 mins and nobody ask or explain nothing. We wait more than 30 mins. for a chocolate milk. There were like 8 people in the service but believe me service and attention is really bad, food it is very good.

Pros: Excellent food and the chef is excellent
Cons: Very poor custome service

All we wanted was a drink... 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By juliebroman

My husband and I recently visited Soleil on a Sunday afternoon after driving from LA. We were looking to enjoy a few drinks and appetizers...who knew it would be such a challenge. We waited 20 minutes for our drinks before asking our waiter if they were coming. His response was that "The bartender was really busy". We found that really hard to believe since there were maybe 8 people in the entire restaurant and bar. We waited for another 10 minutes and the drinks still did not arrive. The service was so bad that we decided to leave. After our weekend in San Diego, we decided that the most of the restaurants in the Gas Lamp District are all facade with very little substance.

Pros: pretty design
Cons: amateur wait staff, extremely unattentive service

nice people 5 Star Rating - World class

By notasurfer

I usually run straight up to Altitude when i go to the marriott, but the other day I stayed down at this place downstairs b/c they had great happy hour food and drink deals. So glad I did! There were such fun people at the bar, and all the happy hour prices were awesome.
