New American Restaurants in Marina Del Rey, CA

“I enjoyed the food, decor, and service. If you want a quiet place to dine though, this isn't it..“

“Always wonderful! Never disappointed.“

“We have been many times over the years, and always had nice experiences but somehow this latest visist was so much better - maybe 75% better..everything went from a bit sleepy to wonderful - the atmosphere was fun, mixed old and young, food was truly delicious, amazing, exceptional and innovative...Starters: calimari and brussels - both delicious. Main course: fish, burgers, calliflower, all with inventive great flavors. Sat outside on quite a chilly night but the outdoor fires made it all very surprisingly warm and cosy - service exceptional, very accomodating when we had special requests. Overall great vibe - bar was full and lively without being too noisy.“

“I stopped by HiHo Cheeseburger in Marina del Rey around 3 p.m. on a Saturday, that magical hour when parking is neither impossible nor easy. The restaurant shares a gated lot with REI, which kindly validates two hours.

Inside, the vibe was steady but calm. I ordered the HiHo Double and fries, which arrived in a leisurely fifteen minutes, a dignified wait for 100% grass-fed, grass-finished Wagyu. The burger, though smaller than an In-N-Out Double-Double, was excellent: melty cheese, slow-cooked onions, and crisp lettuce. The fries were fine, but McDonald’s and the BK Lounge can rest easy.

At $10.45, HiHo is in a higher price category than In-N-Out and Shakeshack, but of comparable quality of taste. Worth a visit, but not at the top of my LA/OC burger rotation.

Still a solid 4 stars“

“A very good place to dine and enjoy many kind of beer from lager, pilsner, IPA, stout, and many more. Tasting menu is absolutely a must for first timer. Indoor and outdoor dining area with brewery inspired industrial ambience, Firestone walker brewing company is a place to visit for all beer connoisseurs.“

“Walking into Old Lightning feels like stepping into Pablo Moix’s private whiskey collection—rare, curated, and full of bottles you’ve only seen in photos. Hidden behind Scopa, the bar features an incredible lineup of high-end spirits: single cask Springbanks, rare Willetts, unique Balvenies, and other bottles you’ll probably never see again. Prices are high (sometimes maybe a bit too high), but you're paying for access to some truly special stuff.

What really makes this place stand out, though, is Oscar. He’s not just pouring drinks—he’s setting the tone for the whole experience. Super knowledgeable, but never pretentious. Inviting, energetic, and clearly passionate about what he does. He listens to what you like, asks the right questions, and then somehow nails exactly what you were in the mood for—whether that’s a rare pour or a killer cocktail you didn’t even know you wanted. His energy really brings the whole vibe together and makes it feel less like a fancy bar and more like a personal tasting experience.

If you're into whiskey or just curious to try something you won’t get anywhere else, it’s definitely worth visiting.“

“As crazy as our Birthday party was, in the bar, our server, Jose, was awesome. There were 2 or 3 other large gatherings at the Marriott hotel, where Singer is, adjacent to the lobby. However, we felt completely cared for. I ordered the classic burger...I am a burger aficionado... It was awesome! I could say that I am ashamed of all the parmesan fries I ate, but nope, not sorry. They were awesome, as well. I don't know if it's a good or bad reality that this place is only a couple miles from my home because...Oh who am I kidding? I would return to this place of great service, atmosphere, fun and food, no matter the distance. Great job Marriott hotel and Sinder restaurant. We will return...often!“

“I celebrated my Birthday with my family today. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was amazing!!“

“My husband and I came here on Mother's Day today and got here early enough! Awesome food, Mauro and Todd are the best behind the bar! Have the chicken and French Toast or the Carrot cake pancakes. You will not be disappointed! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰“
