50 Best Wine Bars near Marina Del Rey

“Happy New Year Y’all!!🥂✨🤘🏼🥳 As many of you know I’ve been playing piano and singing at Casa Ado in Venice for the last 3.5 years, for a total of 700+ shows. There have been two paintings with me in them, a painted recording of this era of my life! It is unclear what will be happening with the restaurant going forward, as there may be some ownership change. Everyone is sort of holding their breath, and for now, music has not been included in January of 2020. There is talk it could go either way in Feb. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thank you all who have come and supported me these past few years on Washington Square and I will keep everyone posted as to what settles out in the next bit of time. For now, I am looking at all the possibilities and have some cool projects lined up on the horizon. Add me as a friend, Stay in touch, and wishing you all the best decade yet! 🥂✨🥳🤘🏼 Love, Mike 🎹🎤❤️“

“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“

“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.“

“Taste Maker Moet & Chandon Tastemaker Dinner was excellent as usual this year. The start was a bit late. Recommendations. The aperitive should be served to diners as they entered the room so they can meet a mingle. If you want to have a toast, due it with the second wine, or with the remainer of the aperitive after the "late" guests have arrived before out as the first course is served. This would make the start less confusing. Lobster, filet, potatoes and dessert we excellent.“

“Farmhouse kitchen is the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever had. On top of the food being great and delicious, the presentation makes you want to order everything from the menu. Chef Bo was so nice to come out to our table and all I can say is she was a very nice, young & talented person. She even made me a special dessert for my birthday. Thanks Bo❤️ I highly recommend this place if you want an authentic, excellent and delicious food. In addition, the place is so full of life. The decor is amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try some of the fancy drinks and dishes on the menu.“

“Since Or Bar opened in the old Gold Coast space, it has become my favorite local place. Good drinks, great people. I love all of the staff here!“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“Warm, hands on and personalized service. A Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant…Food Made from Scratch, fresh, unique, different, and affordable. Highly recommended! The red onion focaccia bread with herb and Parmesan butter, added Burrata - best- seller, a must. The 3 day brined smoked fried chicken-different taste, with soy and Chiles, a must!!!The Peruvian pork belly with sweet potato , Criolla and crispy quinoa , love it! And the Grilled NY steak with green garlic chimichurri, chorizo aioli and pommes pont neuf, thick cut fries…my son prefers over the fried chicken.“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“Food is always excellent here. Taste amazing, high quality ingredients, beautiful presentation. One thing about this experience is that when the staff was closing up.. I don't know if they turned off the AC or closed the doors but it got really HOT. And it kind of made me feel like they did it on purpose so that people can leave. I declined dessert, which is my fave, only because it was so friggin hot. But otherwise, dinner was great.“

“Although I was a little put off by the paper plate table settings… this was by far the most delicious food I’ve had… a wildly unexpected treat! Simple yet brilliant flavors using incredible olive oil… it’s my new favorite place! Highly recommended…“

“Angelini Osteria totally lived up to the hype! We had a great dinner there that night and I can't wait to go back again soon. Let's start with the star of this show: uni pasta. Oh my gosh, it was divine! The uni was so fresh and creamy and the pasta itself was cooked just right. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. We also tried the baked lasagna and it was delightful. The layers were perfectly balanced and each bite was full of rich, savory flavors. Let's not forget dessert! We shared a few different things and they were all great. The tiramisu was fluffy and decadent and the chocolate mousse was rich and smooth. Overall, Angelini Osteria is definitely a must-try for Italian food lovers in Los Angeles. The food is incredible, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!“

“Vegan or not, I can’t imagine why anyone would not love this place.❤️“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff and amazing food 😎“

“We were going to be in KTown and I had heard about this restaurant. Made a reservation to be safe.. It's a Tuesday night and the placed is packed at 9pm when we arrived. Great atmosphere. A hidden gem in the craziness of KTown
We weren't very hungry so we ordered 2 smaller plates. The cheese tart with a raisen jam is really great. So was the Chicken liver mousse. The dessert, Carmel parfait is not recommended. Overall, really nice. We will go back“

“I have been coming to this restaurant from the beginning and the food is just the best. Fresh ingredients, simple recipes and wonderful atmosphere. Not to mention the deserts, they have such lovely, delicious sweets. The service is fantastic too.“

“Delicious food and drinks“

“Great service, tasty food, and amazing views. Good brunch spot.“

“Great night for Luke’s 50th Birthday!!“

“EDIT: The Wifi is fixed!! Thank you to the staff for fixing this issue. I payed the cafe another visit and confirmed I was able to work continuously for 3-4 hours. I'll leave my original review up for posterity but thank you to Bodega folks for offering a wonderful space to get work done! The food and coffee are great too.

I used to love coming here to do work and but their WiFi is no longer reliable enough. It goes out every couple of minutes. It’s been like this for some time and they don’t seem interested in fixing it.“

“This review is long over due. Honestly this place is nothing without Stephen. We have over the last almost three years been coming here for the wine. The monthly wine events are nothing short of a mini vacation with the journey through the region Stephen takes you on. He is brilliant in his craft, very knowledgeable and welcomes everyone with a warm smile. Someone we look forward to seeing along side a glass of wine we always know we will want to take home. Ask for Stephen and enjoy a glass of wine. Get the burger ❤“

“The food and ambience & wine selection was excellent! We will be back!“

“Our server Sean was amazing!“

“Best restaurant I've been to ever that understands and caters to Celiac, but is so good you can actually bring people who are not gluten-free and they would never know they were eating gluten-free. I was in LA for a week and ate there 3 nights. I would have gone more but they're closed on Monday and Tuesdays. The fried zucchini squash blossoms should definitely be ordered and enjoyed❣️ DPK from Plymouth, MA“

“Cute wine bar that functions as a cafe during the day! Was happy to find they have a later happy hour that goes beyond 6 PM, which is so rare to find. I asked an employee and she said there is no happy hour on Sundays. I would just confirm and ask.“

“Amazing staff, fantastic food, great atmosphere. 10 out of 10 for me!“

“The chicken and potatoes are the best!“

“We enjoyed everything about our meal from start to finish.“

“Great food as usual and every time we come we have an excellent service. Love coming here!!!!“

“An amazing dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail and high-quality ingredients really stood out. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic meal!“

“It has the rare ability making you feel both out at a restaurant and being invited into someone’s stylish living room for dinner. Records line the shelves, music spins through the space, and every table seems to be having the exact night out they hoped for.

The crispy rice salad starts things off. Each ingredient earns its place with a honey miso dressing that threads it all together. The pizzas are outstanding. They absolutely deserve the spotlight. Thin crust perfection. Crisp edges, restrained cheese, balanced tomato sauce, exactly enough char underneath. Both the classic and pepperoni pies feel disciplined, making it dangerously easy to finish more slices than intended. For the pasta, the rigatoni bolognese brings al dente cooked pasta coated in a layered, rich meat sauce. The ratio of meat to pasta is spot on, making every bite feel substantial without becoming overly dense. Hearty but never excessive. Dessert arrives as a strawberry ricotta cheesecake that somehow feels light. Creamy ricotta filling, fresh strawberries, strawberry sauce. Not too sweet, not too rich.

Companion gets the details right. The room, the music, the pacing, the service, the food. It’s all welcoming and deeply enjoyable.“

“food and drinks were so good!“

“Me encanta el piano 🎹 es lo máximo.“

“The wine and food. Great service and very friendly“

“We had such a great experience at Coucou! The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We loved everything we ordered, and the Zucchini Beignets were particularly amazing!! You can tell a lot of care goes into both the food and the overall dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning!!“

“A perfect stay!! Celebrating my husband’s 60th! From the time we arrived, the service and attention to detail was impeccable! The entire staff was so welcoming and went out of their way to make sure my husband was enjoying his birthday celebration. It was our first stay at the Maybourne. It will be the only place we stay from now on. Thank you so much to the entire staff for making our stay so special.“

“Amazing food and great place to people watch while looking at the boats in the harbor.“

“We had such a blast tonight at the show! We had great laughs and the show was perfect and full of magic! Fun for all ages! Totally recommend catching a show and a drink! Love love love!!!“

“Great food and wine and amazing host!“

“Great service. steak was good. A but spendy. Enjoyed the atmosphere.“

“Jilli is just a really good spot. The food is solid, the makgeolli is so addicting, and the risotto is surprisingly soooooo gooood. But the staff is honestly the highlight. They’re genuinely friendly and fun without being over the top about it, not to mention very knowledgable about the selections. The kind of place that just has a good vibe and makes you want to come back.“

“Went on mother's day.

No wait, promptly seated.
Food was very taseful and delicious, appetizer, main course and deserts. Steak was cooked perfectly.

Would definitely come back to try the lamb and chicken.“

“Grilled pineapple is a must.
I love the ability to ask for specific cuts and cook. Many similar charruscaries can't compare to that level of service, bringing the same cuts to you table with little regard for the cook time of the meet. M Grill seems to have a respect for Rare and medium rare, elevating the experience appropriately.
Awesome side bar with just the right blend of side dishes, salads, and accoutrements to balance the plate and effect a good eat. Man cannot live on meat alone, he needs robust sides and hearty portions. That's the beauty of M Grill, they get it right, 5x5, Everytime.“

“Excellent service, amazing lobster 🦞 with crab rice. I just wish I was given the prices before agreeing on the upgrade. I ordered a family for 2 and CJ server offered to make it 3ppl. I was kinda surprised with my bills and how the restaurant dictate the gratuity %….Overall, I love dining in this restaurant because we were welcome and were given a great and warm reception. Thank you to the staff who made us feel special especially to CJ she was amazing. Indeed, the most expensive meal I have eaten lol it’s worth it.“

“The breakfast / brunch menu has a good concept and good options. The merguez sandwich was good, but too oily. The fries were done well but too salty.

I wish they cooked the food with less oil and salt. Maybe I'll request that if I stop by to eat there again.“

“This is my absolute favorite restaurant ...and I eat out 3-5 nights a week. I can always count on All Roads to be 100% perfect! The food is BEYOND delicious and I have had almost every single item on the menu. Never once was I dissappointed. A MUST try is the BIANCA PINSA as well as the Faro and Romini salads....Dessert brownie is spectacular too. Everyone I've brought here has fallen in love. The service is timely, professional and friendly. The manager Alexandra is the hardest working restaurant I've ever encountered! You will be thrilled with this restaurant...I was there last night and am bring another new friend this Friday night!😋💗“

“Lovely and quaint little spot. The wine selection is excellent. Service was fantastic. Will definitely be returning.“

“An extremely lively and trendy lounge-type of restaurant on the Venice/Santa Monica border very close to the water. It is actually a block away from the beach. At night they move the tables and the DJ booth turns on and it turns into a mini nightclub and most of the patrons we saw were they to pick up champagne to share and drink on site, the food here seemed an afterthought. The crowd here is very young, most people are in their 20s. You’ll probably be one of the older ones if you are in your mid 30s like myself. It’s also very loud and it’s more a place to go with friends or a date, it’s not really a foodie destination, it’s more of a lively place to spend the evening. Parking is honestly really hard in this area so we took a Waymo because we live a mile away. Aside from that you’ll most likely need to pay for parking. Our waitress was very polite, but our food items arrived pretty slowly.

I started off with the Chicory Salad. I thought it was pretty nice, it was really nice and light start, a perfect salad for spring. For my entree I chose the Burger with a side of Broccolini because I had heard a lot about it. It was very good but not one of the best burgers I’ve had in this part of town. I would say this is a great spot to bring a date, but it’s not really somewhere that is food focused, more a place to drink and order some items if you’re hungry.“

“The foods are amazing … i had the salmon creamy pasta and i liked it so much, the salmon with cherry tomatoes are very refreshing , porcini and mushroom are the new favorites , but the black truffle was the most unforgettable one , once you taste it, it seems you are watching a classic italian movie. The employees are friendly and very accomodating. The atmosphere itself makes you feel like home.“

“I cannot say enough good things about Lexi!!! She makes this place the best! My group (3 of us) showed up without a reservation on a UCLA home Basketball night. She and her team made us feel right at home, even with a full house!!! Food was excellent, service was even better! Can't wait to go back!!“
