    Mandatory valet (but they leave goodies in your car when u pick it up, nice gesture). Classy ambiance at dinner time. Overlooking Marina. "Foo-foo" menu that is okay. Great service. Event room in back

    Simple clean flavors in the daily menu. Try a small bite paired with a glass of wine or market fresh cocktail. Both the Spicy Tuna Tacos and Spinach & Feta Dip are delicious.

    Upscale, pretty place in the marina. Very friendly staff and good food all around. Menu changes frequently so it’s nice to try new things.

    Right on the water in the Marina. A lovely place with upscale food, good service, and a great view. Good light for pictures inside and you can go for a photo walk afterwards. Nice bar.

    Live music ended in 2011, when Marina del Rey ordered restaurants to pay for a permit -- even for just 1 guy on classical guitar. Way to go, bureaucrats.

    Place is surprisingly good! Corn soup is good ( a little sweet). Seared Tuna is great! Great private room in the back. Can't wait to go back.

    For lunch try the lamb burger. Also bring cash to tip the valet - valet parking required.

    Be warned! I was recently a victim of assault and battery in their bar area. The managers were unapologetic and completely unprofessional. Downhill in management, food service, and quality! Unsafe!

    Very LA sort of place. Food is ok but overpriced for quality. Lobster was a bit tough, fish dish was bland. But not bad for LA.

    Linguine lobster was bland tasting - disappointing. Try the halibut instead. Overall a bit pretentiousness and over priced.
