Marina Restaurant Reviews
Our server was awesome... her recommendations were spot on! the food surpassed our expectations! exceptional...The ambiance was relaxing for a Friday night and perfect for our friend's birthday celebration. thank you for making it so special. Very happy party of 4 enjoyed dinner at Marina!
Started with the octopus. My wife really loved the liver. I throughly enjoyed the braised ribeye. The puréed cauliflower was silky smooth. The chocolate tart was the perfect finish to the meal. Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the farm to table menu.
This place will not disappoint.
All you have to do is walk in the front door and see all the people seated and the people waiting and know that people are stacking up to get in here.
The food is top notch.
Tonight we started off with the calamari with artichoke and aolli.
Followed up by tagliatelle with rabbit bolognese and finally we had the skirt steak. Nader recommended the Rose House Pinot Noir.
We finished with the tiramisu with a couple of Café Americano‘s.

The Marina Restaurant offers a great atmosphere and fantastic service, with a team that works together seamlessly. The calamari and rigatoni dishes are enjoyable, while the vodka shrimp pasta has also received excellent reviews. The Marina Spritz is a delicious drink option, and guests have enjoyed cocktails like the passion fruit margarita and the “I Don’t Give a Fig” cocktail. The interior is bright and vibrant, enhanced by great chandeliers. The patio section remains warm and inviting, even in the winter.
The menu features a variety of flavorful and generously portioned dishes, such as the butternut squash agnolotti, shrimp & calamari arrabiata, Mushroom Linguine, and the Bianca (truffle mushroom) pizza. Customers have also praised the steak frites and bucatini. The Blue Cheesecake is a must-try dessert option, though one reviewer noted that a bowl of vanilla ice cream for a birthday celebration felt a bit underwhelming.
Customers have praised the attentive and accommodating service, although some have noted that servers could be more attentive at times. Fast and efficient service is common, especially for larger groups sharing appetizers like charred mushrooms. The restaurant's ambiance remains cozy and vibey, with an open view of the kitchen and great music playing.
Overall, the Marina Restaurant is a bustling spot worth visiting for a tasty and enjoyable meal, even with the consideration of parking options nearby.
