New American Restaurants in Marina Del Rey, CA

Old Lightning Bar
2905 Washington Blvd, Marina Del Rey

“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.“

“We popped into HiHo on some downtime from working at the SoFi stadium.

The smash burgers were really tasty but the fries were the star of the show.

It was a nice addition to see alcohol being served.

The Aircon could probably do with a service as it was roasting in the seating area and the outside area was full to capacity (which is always a good sign.)

Food is excellent but the atmosphere is very much McDonalds vibe.“

“Admittedly, I'm setting a higher bar for this restaurant since it's in a Ritz Carlton. The food was good, but I guess I expected it to be a bit more elevated based on experience at other Ritz Carltons. The ambiance was nice, but the entire reason I made a reservation here was to dine outside with a view of the marina. I guess I should have confirmed this when I made the reservation, so probably my fault. My review probably reflects my disappointment. The service was impeccable and waitress was friendly and attentive.“

Firestone Walker Brewing Company - The Propagator Brewery • $$
3205 Washington Blvd, Marina Del Rey

“I had to edit this review. I was at the Propagator this past Saturday July 19. I visit at least 2xs a month. Once again the beers, the food and the service were top notch as it always is. Let me give a shout out to another one of me and my friends favorite waitress, LIajayra E. I hope I spelled that right. In the fine tradition of great service Llajayra is just fantastic. Nice, courteous and knows how to take care of her customers. Major props, she represents Firestone Walker well, a definite asset to be sure.“

Sinder Lounge American • $$
4100 Admiralty Way, Marina Del Rey

“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!“
