I've dined here over a dozen times in the past few months and the food, service, and atmosphere are always terrific. They have a great wine selection. This is a terrific spot for lunch or dinner with a small outside dining area. It's in the heart of downtown LaGrange. Five + stars! read more

An odd mix of fancy and casual. Delicious food and excellent service. We had the shrimp and grits and the seared halibut. read more

We went for lunch, there was a good food selection. The prices were good for the sizes of the meals. Make sure you read the ingredients on each meal, I got the Caesar but they use arugula instead of romaine. read more

We could not be more impressed with Mare Sol! The atmosphere was classy and comfortable and the food was beyond delicious! We were most impressed with how kind and accommodating the staff was. Every staff member we talked to made us feel special. Their recommendation was the spinach dip with homemade chips. Best we've ever had! read more

Delicious honey bacon Brussels sprout appetizer, enough for a table of 4! Really, really good Steak sandwich. Delightful surprise during our short stay! read more

This place is always amazing. We drive an hour to come here on special occasions. The steak is phenomenal and everything tastes fresh. Food comes out quickly and the staff is friendly. The ambiance is posh meets grill. Wear whatever you feel like wearing and you'll fit in. No kids menu. I've never been disappointed when coming here. read more

Mare Sol - Crawfish and mussels - Italian Near Me - Lagrange, Georgia

Our spinach artichoke dip was good, but our pimento cheese dip was too soupy for my liking. My coworkers enjoyed their entrees, but my beef stroganoff was severely underwhelming. My steak tips were beyond well done (I wish they would've asked how I wanted them cooked), and the sauce was far too mushroom-based for my liking. With that said, I can't penalize Mare Sol too much for my mistake on ordering a dish I wasn't thrilled over. There were some other appetizing options on the menu that I would've liked to try instead of what I ended on. read more

Mare Sol is becoming my favorite restaurant in LaGrange. Their food is always creative and flavorful. I ordered Uber Eats today and it was just as good as dining in would be. The food looked great, was hot and tasted great. Hats off to the Mare Sol Chef and his staff. read more

We had to be in the Lagrange area and checked Yelp for dinner ideas. Mare Sol stood out and we were very excited to visit. Atmosphere was good, a bit loud but not a problem. Food was good. I had the salmon. A tad under done but I couldn't finish it anyway and was able to enjoy for lunch the next day. My better half had the burger which he enjoyed and we both loved the fries. A cross between fries and chips-thin and crispy. We had the French silk pie for dessert which was okay. Tiny and a bit pricey @ $11 for what you got. My only real issue with the experience was the addition of a 4% credit card service charge listed as "remove cash discount". We must have missed that on the menu. We eat out a fair amount and have never experienced this before. read more

Traveling for work and stopped to have dinner at the bar. It's Monday evening and it's got a decent crowd. Ordered the prime pork chop and glass of Joliesse Pinot. Food and wine was perfect! Perfect place for a business traveler or with group of friends. read more

Local place. Nice open atmosphere with loud echo. Sound is very amplified here so when full you'll be struggling to hear. This was lunch. Appetizer was spinach and artichoke dip with mozzarella and artichoke chunks, this came out looking good but yet was cold in the middle. This has the potential to be great except it was cool in the center and under baked. Service a little slow but the staff is nice and the place is clean as are restrooms. We ordered Beef stroganoff, Shrimp and grits, and Seafood Alfredo, along with kids Alfredo. There was a point where we said we are out of this takes any longer. We aren't in a rush but lunch fare should not take as long as it took. Even the server seemed concerned at the time this took. So the food has arrived as we were ready to leave the amount for the appetizer and leave. Food was decent. Lots of grits for 5 lonely shrimp. The BS was alright as was the Alfredo. What ruined the experience was the wait then the server said it's because we were packed. I said no when we ordered most everyone had their food (he agreed). Kitchen can really hurt the experience as it did here. Too bad cuz we were really excited and this was a real let down. In the end I see my kid (who LOVES Italian) and I say you don't have to eat that if you're good. He says can I have a hotdog? NUFF SAID. read more

Mare Sol - Shrimp and Grits - Italian Near Me - Lagrange, Georgia

This was a great meal all around. We had the flatbread as our appetizer and everyone enjoyed it. Even my picky teenager :) Our entrees were the shrimp and grits, chicken Parmesan, a cheeseburger, and blackened chicken alfredo. The grits were creamy and delicious. The marinara for the pasta that came with the chicken parm had a little bit of a kick to it as did the alfredo but everyone enjoyed their meals. The wait staff was attentive and super friendly. An enjoyable experience. read more

The only "vegan option" is a salad with half the ingredients. They haven't updated their page to reflect that. Not sure what changed, as they were very inclusive of all diets last time I was in town about a year ago. Bummer. read more

The menu looked wonderful so we decided to stop in for lunch during our travels. The space was open, inviting, and well decorated. Sadly, that's where the positive attributes ended. Our server looked and acted as if he had just rolled out of bed. He was rude and dismissive when asked a question regarding a drink. We ordered the deviled eggs, rigatoni, and Birria tacos. Deviled eggs were passable, but had only about a 1/2 inch piece of chicken skin on each. Rigatoni was served in a nice cast iron skillet. It was topped with tasteless mozzarella and the skillet was 1/3 full of water. My dog enjoyed it though. The Birria tacos were served with a spicy sauce on the side not the traditional consommé. Find a decent taco truck and you will get a much better product. Overall if you're going for a nice environment this place will work. If you are looking for good food and/or service definitely look elsewhere. read more

Another great experience in LaGrange. Well lit and clean restaurant with great service. Food was great as well. Will definitely be back.

5 Stars is really not enough to describe how far above other restaurants Mare Sol is . Honestly, I have lived in LaGrange 8 years and this place has just gotten better every year. The management during this pandemic has been amazing. Today we had the Wedge salad and the Steak and Fungi flatbread, and it was amazing. The beer list here is amazing and we had the Urban Tree Rose Ciider and the Orpheus Elusory Hazy IPA. All I can say now is that after eighth years of coming here, it is just getting better. read more

Great serving sizes & good food. I ordered takeout from here and it came served hot and fresh read more

So so I believe that the bartender put together my order and was careless , I'd give it another try one day but I'm not impressed by the take out read more

I love this restraint. They're fajitas are excellent. The customer service is superb and the pricing is very affordable. I will definitely come back. read more

Very good food, but extremely slow service. We went on a Saturday there were only six tables occupied which included an 11 person Birthday party. Food came out very show, but Very Good! The server was pleasant and attentive. Would give 5 star if good came out a little bit faster. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for great good! read more

Best shrimp and grits I have ever had! Amazing food and fantastic service, was completely satisfied

Service was good no problems at all with that. Menu didn't have many options so I went with a burger and it was very small and not much flavor to it, the tomato soup was pretty good. Air temperature was good for this time of year in. But if you're going to leave the drinking glasses on the table as they do I would think it's best to leave down then flip to pour your water. Having them upright doesn't seem smart. read more

this has been our Thursday night date place for quite a long time now. The menu has changed a few times over the years and some of our favorites are now gone, however I have faith that the new Chef will be adding his twist to the menu. Acoustics are a bit much sometimes as the sounds bounce all over the place. Jennifer is an amazing server as are the others there too. Try the pork rinds... cripsy, hot and crunchy... YumMe! read more

Absolutely love the staff. The food has changed a bit since getting a new chef (from what I hear). I am giving a 3 star due to their business hours. A 9:00 pm close time is super disappointing especially since they're one of the only healthy options in LaGrange. Please change your hours! read more

We had an amazing 20th Anniversary dinner there. We had an infant in tow so we decided to sit outdoors and it was a beautiful peaceful atmosphere. The staff was very attentive and our drinks, appetizers, entrees and desserts were all perfect . One of our best restaurant experiences and can't wait to go back next week for my birthday dinner ! read more

Best fried okra I've ever eaten! This is my go to restaurant when traveling in the area. The cheese plate was yummy too. Never eaten anything prepared here that wasn't good. It wasn't very busy when I arrived (5:00pm) and service was a little slow for what wasn't a packed establishment. I'd give 5 stars if service was a little better. read more

Went to Mare Sol for dinner, it took a long time to get our food, they changed the menu again so they didn't have the same items that were there 3 months ago, a hamburger was $19.00, they're way over priced for what you get..... don't know if we'll go back...... totally disappointed read more

Just ok, Demi glaze on steak was far too heavy and strong. Food took forever to arrive in a nearly empty restaurant. Service was good.

AMAZING food!! Everything tastes delicious. Some of the best food I've ever had. The service is upstanding as well! I'm only sad that there isn't a Mare Sol closer to Atlanta. :( 5/5 Will be back! :D read more

Great food and atmosphere. Server was friendly and attentive. Price was comparable to other restaurants of this caliber.

I really enjoyed this restaurant. I tried a few flights of local beer. I had the pesto pasta with Salmon which is supposed to be fresh made. It was delicious. My boyfriend had the Reuben which was also tasty. read more

Fantastic food and it was super convenient to make reservations. No wait. Great service. Server was very knowledgeable and really helped us choose exactly what we wanted. Very much enjoyed our visit. Would highly recommend trying it out. read more

I really wanted to love this place but I left sad and disappointed. We were in town visiting the great wolf lodge and food options are limited in the resort so we ventured out to the downtown area which was small but cute in a historic kind of way. Mare Sol was ok but def. due to a couple of reasons for me. The chicken parm sub was tasty and the bread was fresh at first bite but on the second bite I realized the chicken was raw which caused me to send it back. The replacement sub took about 15-20 mns and I had to eat in in a rush as the rest of my party had been done for over 10 mns. I might try it again sometime but I didn't get what I wanted out of this place read more

honestly, it's saddens me I have to leave this review. A few weeks ago my mom and I had Mare Sol for the first time and it was amazing. I mean from the drinks to the food it was a 5 star meal. yesterday we went and were surprised to find out they have a new chef and a whole new menu. The new menu is not vegan or vegetarian friendly like the old one. We ordered 3 appetizers and they were all DISGUSTING and lacked flavor. I asked for calamari because I can't eat meat and was brought FRIED CHICKEN SLICES. Good thing I realized it was chicken before eating it. We ended up asking for a menu from the sister restaurant and that Was okay but still not even 3 star material. We got the check and went to Venucc across the street. Worst experience ever I will NEVER be back. Waste of money and time. read more

Terrific pork rinds and pimento cheese sauce, fantastic shrimp and grits!! But I miss Colton.

Mare Sol is simply amazing. The ambiance, the charisma, the cocktails, and of course, the food, are second to none! It has quickly become our go to place for Saturday Date Nights! read more

I am giving Mare Sol and 4-star review for LaGrange status. It's one of my favorite restaurants in LaGrange, but I've definitely had far better in Atlanta. The food is sophisticated, and affordable considering what you're getting. I've ALWAYS left with a full stomach, also. The fish and chips is HUGE! Veggie panini is tasty with pesto sauce. The service is not very attentive, they only stop by the table a couple times usually, so if you're in a hurry, make sure to ask for the check right away. But they have been very friendly every time I've been in. read more

Wow, what a surprise we had for lunch. We were seated immediately as we arrived around noon. We loved our booth and the view from the window was most enjoyable. The ambiance here was delightful and the decor was of bygone days in a good way. It reminded me of Tadish Grill in San Francisco. I would return for the atmosphere if for no other reason. However, the food was excellent- also like Tadish. My friend and I both ordered the same thing - the portobello mushroom panini. My friend got a delicious Caesar salad as her side and I got the wonderfully unique French fries. The whole menu looked outstanding and I can't wait to return here. Additional, our service was excellent and we were allow to enjoy our luncheon conversation without constant interruptions but all of our needs were seen to immediately. read more

Was wandering through the cute downtown area before our waterpark adventures at the Great Wolf and stumbled upon this beautiful spot for lunch. The space itself is great with tons of natural light and full bar on the back. Very elegant yet rustic enough to fit in downtown. Great service for lunch, food took a little bit of time to come out but we weren't in a rush and it was delicious when they did bring it out! We overdid it with pasta and meatballs, a flatbread, a salad, and a burger for us and our kids. The portions are big and generous, and the ingredients tasted fresh. I really loved the handmade pasta and meatballs. So good! The owner/manager walked around to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves and we could only happily nod between forkfuls of pasta and fries! read more
