We were excited to come as our initial experience two years ago was amazing! Not the case this time!

We were excited to get a table on the glass so we could see the amazing view of the ocean! However, the dining experience was less than desirable!

We each started with lobster bisque, which was excellent! I ordered the Maine lobster tail and the other dinner was halibut. They were pricey items and when delivered to the table, they told us the plates were hot to be careful. My lobster was barely warm and the halibut was cold. When mentioned to the server that the fish was not prepared the way we were accustom to (prepared in a 1500° oven and being served on a sizzling plate), the server mentioned that’s the way it was prepared. We knew better because that was in fact not the case. The halibut was cold and dry and appeared to have been sitting under a heat lamp.

This is not the experience we would’ve expected for a $250 tab.

First time going to the Marine room. My wife has been wanting to go there for years and I took her there to celebrate her birthday. The Marine room didn’t disappoint, it was a great experience and the food was excellent. The only bad thing was that, because of Covid-19 the waiter could not touch our phones to take a photo of both of us, but would highly recommend this restaurant.

Our annual wedding anniversary celebrated at your restaurant was fantastic as usual.
Thank you!

We had a truly exceptional experience celebrating my fathers 60th birthday. The service was attentive, but not overbearing. The food was just as exquisite as the view! Which as you can see is hard to top! All around, would recommend for a special occasion or much needed change of aquatic scenery.

Always a special treat for us to visit and enjoy, Thank you.

Beautiful experience especially at high tide. The wait staff did everything possible to give us a comfortable, enjoyable dining experience.

I think almost everyone would agree that their 1st expression of this place specifically the window view is "WOW"
Sadly, that was all there is to it. The main course was nothing short but mediocre.
The elk meat that was served on our table was overly cooked and the vegetables was undercooked. Their dessert however, specifically the pot pie and lemon cake is what we really enjoyed. Drink selections are very limited compared to other restaurants around the area. Their staff are not really going to do extra or put in more effort to give you a decent service; honestly i've had better service at Denny's. But this might be because of the pandemic.
Bottomline is, you're just paying for the view.

Wonderful meal with unparalleled atmosphere! Look forward to our next dining experience here.

The surf and turf was delicious; service was wonderful.

Nice anniversary dinner, waiter Johnathan was very cordial and sent a special anniversary desert our way. Thanks for the memories.

Very beautiful memorable experience. Our steak was over cooked but still flavorful. Very nice memory for my husbands 40th birthday

Delicious as always.

Phenomenal food. Probably the best ahi I've ever had. And the experience of being up against the sea was a unique view that made for a very memorable experience. Would highly recommend.

It was the first time I brought my girlfriend here and she loved the dining experience. We were seated at the best table in the place - in the north corner, and she was amazed at the ocean waves hitting the windows (came at a high tide during sunset). The food was simply awesome as usual and the service was perfect - even tipped the hostess afterwards for seating us at such a great table. Thank you - we’ll be back.

Sublime. Worth every penny and then some.

This restaurant is absolutely amazing. Beautiful culinary art with amazing view of the Pacific Ocean, sunset, and waves crashing right in front of your eyes. Our waiter was Michael C, he was extremely knowledgeable, gentleman, and a overall great person. We loved having him as our wait or and can’t wait to go back to The Marine Room to eat and see Michael again!

Our first high tide dinner experience was awesome!

For someone who loves a view of the ocean it’s impossible to get any closer or more spectacular than the Marine room. This is exquisite fine dining cuisine, with truly amazing service. I would come back simply for the elk entrée let alone all the other top-notch attributes of the Marine room.
We will be back for sure! The gentleman who took care of us was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Can’t thank you enough.

I have not dined out anywhere since the COVID lockdown on March 13. When I got the email that The Marine Room was open for indoor dining, I went. Not only was I greeted with patrons and staff wearing masks, but the tide grew higher as I gazed out into the glorious Pacific wondering if dining in San Diego would ever be safe again? Until it is, I will continue only going to The Marine Room where the food is gorgeous to look at and even better to eat.

Ryan our waiter knew everything about the menu and he was able to explain all our questions about the ingredients. The halibut was the best I have ever had as were my husband's lamb chops for him.The ocean entertained us with the high waves crashing on the windows. The noise level was low, perfect for us who have hearing issues. It was a perfect place for dinner.

Javier was our wonderful server for the evening. Everyone on staff created a safe and relaxing dining experience. We are so happy the Marine Room has reopened.

Always a lovely time at the Marine Room! Food is amazing, staff couldn't be more accommodating and the setting is beautiful! Best place in San Diego to celebrate an occasion!

All food was excellent. Lobster Bisque average at best.

Excellent experience. Definitely will be coming back.

Amazing food and a beautiful to die for view. We had the best seat in the house! Thank you for making the evening amazing!

fab!
great ocean view with impeccable service and a lovely interior

It was their first day open since the state closed them in March.
Since the tables were far apart as required by social distancing the dining experience seemed more intimate and enjoyable.

As always the view of the ocean is unsurpassed.

It’s certainly the place to go for special occasions.

A true San Diego celebratory experience !! Great attention to detail ! Food interesting and delicious !!!

A bit outdated and old looking. Not a cozy environment that one expects from such a highly priced restaurant. Views are great.

The most beautiful place to watch a sunset.

Awesome location, service, food, wine selection. We will be back.

It was our first time eating at The Marine Room and I was not disappointed. We were celebrating an anniversary and the restaurant was a great venue for that special occasion. We had reservations on the earlier side to ensure a window / water front table. I would recommend booking on the earlier side if you want a table with a great view and next to the window which is within steps of the ocean. Overall the view was excellent, one of the top 5 best restaurants with a view in San Diego.

The wait staff were very attentive, knowledge and professional. The menu was smaller compared to larger restaurants but they offered options that should allow for any palate. They have daily seasonal options for variety. Each dining option was unique with flavor, presentation, and character. Our favorite appetizer was the crab cake. I would order that again and again. In fact I liked it so much I would encourage the restaurant to consider an entree option. The entree options we chose, the branzino (Mediterranean Sea Bass) and the scallops were exceptional. I would rate them 5/5 stars! They treated us to a nice complimentary desert for our anniversary. They must have read the remarks in open table. Very nice touch!

Overall we had a great time and will be back again. The cost is on the high side but the value is good considering the quality, venue and service.

It’s great that in the middle of the COVID 19 crisis you can get an awesome meal with a fantastic view!
And the tables are really spaced out which means that you can relax a little and enjoy the experience at its fullest.

Each time we visit the San Diego area we make sure that we visit the Marine Room. Not only does the location provide an interesting view of the ocean but the food and service are outstanding. We have always had a very relaxed, dinner with no time pressure with very knowledgeable servers and food that is always superbly prepared and presented. We highly recommend the Marine Room.

Any opportunity to go to the Marine Room is a must. Their service staff is very attentive and friendly. The ambiance in the rooms is a comfortable setting and the view is up and close with the Pacific !
Our appetizers, steaks and seafood were superior.

Best brunch we ever had! Best food, beautiful experience, and fantastic service. You should go to the next high tide brunch!

Go for the view - not the food (for brunch anyway.) We went to the high tide brunch and the view was stunning! There are only a few options compared to most brunches in San Diego. Omlettes and blintzes are the best items. Those sitting around us were all from out of town so was a classic LJ place to eat.
Had a nice time but don't need to go back. One and done.

We were celebrating a 70th birthday and a 40th anniversary

Went to High tide brunch on Sunday 03-08-20 The view was great with ocean splashing against windows. We had a reservation and when I arrived I asked for window seating and was told to go ahead and sit at table and they'd let me know if a window seat opens. That never happened. The staff seemed very unhappy and they were curt when asked for anything. I pointed out a dirty glass that was at next table upon resetting table and was told that it was ok someone would catch it when they did their final walk-through! No one ever switched out the glass even when next party was seated. Gross!
The food was good but not excellent, unfortunately. I've had much better.

I took my elderly mother and two children (ages 10 and 15) to the high tide breakfast. The staff was attentive, the food was delicious and the ambiance was wonderful. Oh, and you can't beat that view!
And a big shout out to the friendly car valets. My special needs 10-year old is fascinated by anything that moves (cars, trucks, etc). He loved watching the valets work and learning about their jobs. They were engaging and very kind to him as he watched them work!
