The Marine Room - La Jolla, California

Absolutely loved coming here for mine and my husband’s first wedding anniversary. The staff really made us feel special and both Stefano and Marissa treated us as if we were the most special guests (even tho it was a packed house!) that kind of service is hard to find.

The food was amazing, steak and fish were so tender and flavorful. Great recommendations from Stefano and Marissa.

A front seat to the ocean just adds to the ambiance. Will definitely be back!

It's one of my favorite places to go for food and ambiance. The food experience is out of this world. The flavors are on point. The servers are very attentive and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is like no other. I highly recommend you spoil your spouse on that special occasion. If you can find a better all-around restaurant, please let me know. I will be returning when in town.

The Marine Room offers a premium dining experience where the price is certainly justified by the exceptional quality of the food. Each dish is expertly crafted with fresh, flavorful ingredients, and the stunning oceanfront setting adds to the overall ambiance. While it’s on the pricier side, the exquisite taste and impeccable service make it well worth the splurge for a memorable meal.

A couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to visit one of the best dining spots in San Diego—The Marine Room. Saying it has an incredible ocean view doesn't do it justice. It’s almost indescribable. The unique experience of dining right at the edge of the beach, where the waves nearly touch your table, is something special. But don’t worry—you’re safely behind glass, so you can enjoy the stunning view and the food without getting your feet wet.

We tried the lobster bisque, scallops and trout, but what truly stood out was the side order of mushrooms. If you're ordering a dish, I highly recommend adding that side—you’ll enjoy it the most. The staff was friendly from the moment we walked in, making the whole place feel upscale, as if you were a VIP guest.

What left the biggest impression on me was the bartender, Tony. His drinks were delicious and made with real care. We ordered several rounds and savored every drop. Tony elevated our experience, being so attentive and genuinely interested in how we were enjoying the food and the overall experience. We ended up staying by the bar longer than at the table and until closing time! He’s definitely someone who cares about the place and ensures that people want to come back.

If you visit, I highly recommend starting your evening with drinks at the bar while you wait for your table. You won’t be disappointed.

Maybe the only place in San Diego where the food outshines the view. What an experience. The service and food are world class, on par with Michelin level dining. Our server Jonathan and his team took great care of us. Chef’s amuse bouche of cream of garlic soup was a delight. The bread service was in the top 3 I’ve ever had as was the Caesar. I had the Sablefish and my wife had the filet mignon. Both exceeded our expectations, which is hard to do with a filet.

If going for a special night out, this place will not disappoint.

Incredible view, very good service, 4 stars only because we didn't like the “crab “ that came with the lobster, it tasted awful,? the lobster was good and so was everything else we ordered. Peruvian crudo we highly recommend it

Everything incredible from the fantastic view to the friendly staff and tasty food. We ordered porterhouse for 2 that give us a option of one side which we picked mushroom. Honestly steak was overcooked but still juicy and delicious. View is super gorgeous and breathtaking, if you are looking for some fancy place with great view highly recommended marine room.

We were here on vacation celebrating both our anniversary and engagement. The views definitely live up to the hype and the food was very good! The staff, namely Kevin and his assistant, went above and beyond providing us impeccable service and well wishes. We truly felt so special and can't thank them enough for the experience!
