Marina Kitchen Restaurant & Bar

The food and the service were good. My wife's salmon was very underwhelming and that it was not plentiful. Also, the drink that we ordered had a large ice cube and hardly any liquor. Once I removed the ice cube there was 3/4 of an inch of liquid in the glass. I paid more for the ice cube than I did for the drink I think. Not worth the $11!

The staff was great, let me start with that. The food had good flavor but most of the hot items I ordered were room temperature or cold. That was disappointing. 

The food and service were very good. My only disappoint was that the restaurant does not validate or discount parking at all. We drove from OC. We met our cousin who was visiting San Diego from Boston for a convention and our kids who live in DTSD. We could have parked by them, but chose to drive to the hotel because it was pouring.

Couldn’t tell you what the food or the rest of the restaurant is like, but I did stop at the bar for a late night drink while staying at the Marriott and was served by the bartender with the bushy unkempt beard. Needless to say, I ended up with a curly beard hair in my drink, and he never came back to interact with us the rest of the night (except for when he wanted us to pay), so a different bartender had to remake my drink.

No apology, no addressing the issue, but no hesitation to charge me $18+ for the hairy drink. Wouldn’t recommend ordering drinks when he’s working, it’s hard to miss the giant beard, it definitely didn’t miss my glass.

Was very surprised with how amazing the food was at this place. The burger, chicken sandwich and pizza were all incredible. I would highly recommend eating here.

Amazing food at Marina Kitchen, the staff was very friendly, we did wait an abnormally long time for our food though. We felt they'd forgotten about our order. Once we were served the food was worth the wait.

decent food and service!

Chilian seabass fish and chips tasted very good, lightly battery fried and full of flavorful

Poor organization for seating people, cannot keep up with the free vouchers given to guests

I must say, I wasn’t too enthused about a breakfast buffet being the only option but after experiencing the vast options available, I stand corrected. An omelet bar, yogurt parfait bar, Japanese noodle bar, as well as an assortment of standard buffet items (bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, and breakfast potatoes). Would definitely return.

A bit overpriced for breakfast buffet with a few options. Food was good. I enjoyed the omelette station and french toast. Casual atmosphere. I wouldnt come back for the price and just head out to iHop with more options :)

So rude people at the bar.

Great brunch on the weekend. Maurice & John make the perfect omelette per your specifications with a smile.
