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..“

“My pork chop with vegetable mix was outstanding; the Whiskey & Aged White Cheddar burger was also very good; the Fish, Beef & Shrimp Taco Tri was very good, but super spicy. Finally, the Orange Chicken was very tasty w/a hint of smokey flavor and a great sauce. Sorry, we dove in before remembering to take pictures.“

“Highest quality wagyu and pastrami .
I tasted and my relatives did.

Best part is halal and meat quality that blends superbly.
Workers are well behaved

Good vibes and outside its marina del rey.
Free parking but gotta validate“

“Always wonderful! Never disappointed.“

“Been here 4-5 times and overall the outdoor area vibes are what’s worth coming for. Usually busy but not impossible to find a seat on weekends.

My complaint is the same complaint I have for most California breweries in 2026 - stop making a 200th ale that tastes the same and shift focus towards beverages that fit the California vibe and are more inclusive. And no, not another gimmick white claw substitute, but ciders, sours, and fruit beers.

The rotating tap sour we had was top tier but who knows if it will be there next time.

Food wise, we are pretty picky with wings and this place has got excellent wings, the kind that despite not being drenched in buffalo are really flavorful. Pretzel is pretty good too and comes from the local rockenwagner bakery. I wish there was a salt level option but that might be just how they get them.

The menu is definitely white-coded in terms of being more “meal for yourself” than “for the table” and very little green vegetables outside of the salads.“

“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!“

“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! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰“

“My wife and I visited Los Angeles for the first time, and we chose this restaurant to celebrate her birthday.
First of all, I would like to highlight the staff. They are very professional, friendly, and genuinely attentive to their guests' wishes and requests.
The restaurant is located in a quiet and peaceful area by the marina. The atmosphere is very cozy and relaxing, with no unnecessary noise, making it a perfect place to enjoy a special evening.
I would also like to specifically compliment the menu and the chef.
The food was excellent, and every dish was prepared with great attention to detail.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the restaurant manager, the director, the chefs, and especially the head chef for making our visit so memorable.
We truly enjoyed everything, and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to spend a wonderful time and enjoy a warm, pleasant atmosphere.“
