overall experience as an eater is mediocre. Great location with the few. Lunch only.

This place has a beautiful ambiance and vibe. Food was very fresh and well prepared. Presentation nice. Their menu selection pairs well with the Marina environment. Seafood very fresh and Salads seasonal. Portions satisfying. Not overly priced for quality of food.
We were a party of 5 with variations of dishes we were all content with them. Baked Chicken well done, nicely paired with potato and carrots.
Crabcakes delicious, we had it with a summer salad nicely paired with a delicious vinaigrette dressing and fresh fruits, Veal with salad very good. Will definitely eat here again.

Nice place in a nice location. Food was really good, but the service left so much to be desired that my family and i will probably not be returning anytime soon if at all

Great food and great customer service, I went 2 weeks ago and went to the tiki bar and the bartenders that were on Wednesday and Thursday were excellent and the drinks were made to perfection ??

It’s a shame that the service ruined the excellent food and decor of the place. I guess our table of 6 was running late on a Friday night, and by 10:15pm they wanted us to leave. We had to ask for another round of drinks and asked for a dessert menu. The waiters response was “oh, you want dessert?” The waiter seem to just wanted us to leave. It’s 10:15 on a Friday night! They could have just come over and told us the kitchen was closing.

I recently visited Marina Cafe to celebrate a good friend's birthday, and overall, it was a delightful experience with a few quirks.

First off, the ambiance is beautiful—perfect for a special occasion. We were seated by a window with a great view, although the rainy weather kept us from taking too many photos there. Instead, we made the most of the lovely blue background in the lobby, thanks to our waiter, Largo (or something that started with an L). He had a charming smile, very distinct ears, and was a true gentleman. He even turned into our impromptu photographer, capturing some great moments!

However, I have to mention that the service was on the slower side. My friend and I were having such a blast laughing and giggling that we didn’t mind too much. But had I been with anyone else, I might have been eyeing the kitchen entrance wondering, "Where is my food?" Despite telling Largo it was my friend's birthday, there was no special birthday treat—no scoop of ice cream, nothing—which was a bit disappointing considering I spent $92 for lunch.

The food itself was delicious but be prepared to season it yourself. If you're a fan of salt-free dishes or watching your blood pressure, this is definitely the place for you!

Special shoutout to Marie, who greeted us upon arrival. Despite me being late for our reservation, she was incredibly accommodating, seating us immediately and bringing loads of fun and personality to our visit.

In summary, Marina Cafe is a lovely spot for a leisurely meal with someone special. Just don’t come too hungry (or hangry) because you might find yourself waiting a while for your food. But with great company and a bit of patience, you’re sure to have a good time. I'll definitely be back!
