First time here for me. The food and coffee were great. Service was slow, I'm going to say because when we got there, it was only one server, we order our food and came pretty quick. Than another server showed up. Over all, I will go back. Thank you

If you're in the mood for incredible food, a beautiful view, and the perfect relaxed harbor vibe, Marina Cafe is the place to be. Hands down, they serve the best chowder I've ever had—rich, flavorful, and so indulgent I could’ve sworn there was a hint of vanilla bean. It was like a bowl of pure gourmet heaven! The owners are more than just cafe operators—they're true chefs. I had the turkey sandwich with pesto on Panini bread, and it tasted like Thanksgiving dinner in every bite. So satisfying!
As I sat out on the patio, the scenery was stunning—yachts everywhere, and even three ladies in captain's hats prepping for a sailing party. (Side note: three captains on a ship is definitely two too many!) The whole place gives off that upscale yet laid-back vibe, and it's pet-friendly to boot. I spotted three beautiful dogs at different tables, which made the atmosphere even more charming.
The service was spot on. Our waitress was super attentive, making sure my raspberry and unsweetened tea mix was perfectly balanced, and she brought me a refill before I even finished my first drink. Talk about service! The locals at the next table made some great menu recommendations for future visits, and everyone was so neighborly—it made me feel right at home. And a little jealous that they eat here daily.
Now, let me rave about the chicken salad. Oh. My. God. It had so much chicken I thought I was eating chicken strips on a bed of lettuce, LOL! But seriously, the veggies, avocado, and tomatoes all perfectly complemented the heap of chicken. Every bite was amazing.
This cafe is five star dining with a casual yacht-life vibe, amazing food, and top-notch service. Honestly, after this visit, I almost wanted to buy a yacht just so I could eat here every day. Highly recommend!

I have to say I work in this area and in 4 years I’ve never been here. Decided to come in today to treat myself to a nice breakfast and well I’m blowing outta the water here! So delicious!! So I ordered TheHotMess( presentation was one of a kind for sure) but so damn good. And I got my coffee black how I always do and I brew is solid, also got a bottle of champagne with the peach nectar and again ice bucket, clean glass, delicious drink… over all this place is truly a Diamond in the rough. I’ll be back and I will be telling many about this place so keep up the awesome work and satisfying experience.

I personally love this restaurant. They have the best of everything. The fish and chips are the bomb. And the biscuits and gravy, well that's a secret spice you may never figure out. But the best ever. I was there yesterday for my fish and chips. And come to find out, it was Sharon's Birthday.6/26. So happy belated Birthday ????????

I felt sorry for the waitress. They need more help. I had to ask 3 person for coffee and the biscuits and gravy were cold. Maybe Next Time I Hope.
