Cafe Del Rey - Marina del Rey

Came here a few days ago for lunch, the first time I visited last year was for dinner so it was nice to try out to dine during the day. We were greeted by the Hostess and were were sat shortly afterwards by a nice table by the window, it was such a nice view as well, we started off with light starters like the Cheese charcuterie plate, the truffle pizza and burger we were a larger group so pretty much split everything. I loved the Cheese burger so much our amazing server Tamara explained how it was blended with 3 cheeses and many of the menu items are made in-house which is pretty neat. We also tried the shrimp pasta, salmon plate, the seafood tower was amazing I love the crab and jumbo shrimps. For drinks we mostly had the lemonades which were delicious. I would recommend next time making a reservation for large parties or for dinner. Will be back

Each incarnation of this 'dockside ' restaurant is more impersonal but still one of the loveliest waterfront views anywhere, with a very friendly/well-trained staff (mostly tourist guests) and a second generation LA chef determined to give diners a fresh, quality and evolving menu. It still makes you thankful for this expensive white tablecloth dining because of the memorable 'experience. ' A fantastic whole fish! And hostess Jan is still at the door after all these decades to make you feel welcome as soon as you step inside the door.

This is a fantastic restaurant in Marina Del Rey. The staff are friendly and attentive, greeting us promptly at the door and guiding us to our table. They made sure our drinks were always full and our table remained tidy. The food is hearty and satisfying—definitely come with an empty stomach, as you'll leave feeling stuffed. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the dishes offered.

The view was breathtaking! My sorority hosted a private brunch here, and the space was perfect for our large group. The attentive waitstaff ensured all our needs were met and took great care of us. The prix fixe brunch menu offered a wide selection of dishes, and they even provided a vegan option for me upon request! The chef kindly came out to confirm that everything was indeed vegan. It was incredibly delicious—definitely worth the price!

Service was superb. Loved our waitress. Was always coming around and asking if we needed anything else. Cracked jokes and made us feel right at home. Everything that was brought out tasted excellent. Be aware that all parking in the lot outside the restaurant is $6 whether you valet or not.
