   Beautiful ocean waves rolling in under light, was only matched by exquisitely plated dinning. Service is five stars under the guidance and close attention to details by Chris, GM. Looking forward to my next celebration! S. Leslie Marhetti Marchetti MGMT & Fine Arts

   Monica was amazing! This was a planned 'proposal' and wedding rehearsal dinner with our officiant and his wife. Monica made the night extraordinary and memorable. We always treasure our special nights at the Marine Room and this was no exception to our previous experiences. Thanks to the entire team for their service and commitment to excellence! A memory etched in our hearts and minds forever!

    We visited the Marine Room for our 38th anniversary. We have been there before, always great food. The service seemed very slow, but food was very good. Our biggest issue is that the receptionist put us next to a table of 14 or 15 people who were incredibly loud. I would think since the Marine Room knew this was our anniversary that they would have put us in a quiet area, which there were tables available. We do not know if we will return there, this left a bad impression on us. Kevin and Terry Miller

    This was the highlight of our trip to San Diego. The view was phenomenal, the atmosphere was sophisticated and the food was delightful. The grilled hearts of palm were delectable with the surf and turf. We had the trio of sorbets for dessert and that was a beautiful finish to a meal for the memory books! The coconut sorbet paired perfectly with the delicate sweetness of the pear and the bitterness of the blood orange flavor. We will definitely be back next time we’re in town!

    The worst service I’ve ever had in my life. Our server ignored us for the entire service, and we were left sitting waiting with empty plates for 45 minutes. He forgot our wine order and never came back to get us other drinks. For spending this much money I expected way more. A huge disappointment on my sisters birthday.

    great location, and great atmosphere! Jonathan served us, and did an excellent job! the tuna cones were inventive and very tasty; right down to the "sugar cones". Their Lobster bisque is classically done, but with a nice house-made sweet corn bread accomanying it. The Ceasar is one of the best around with lots of garlic and lemon in the rich dressing, and topped with white anchovies. both entrees, the Sea Bream with Mediterranean pan sauce (pan stewed tomatoe, onion, olives, etc.) and the Pacific Sea Bass were delicious and great portions. finished off with a light lemon cake with house-made wildflower ice cream!

    We had the pleasure of dining at The Marine Room for a birthday celebration. We were a party of 4. The attention received as guests was impressive. From the moment we entered the circle for valet parking, to our entry into the reception area, it was seamless. We arrived at the beginning of dinner service, so there were several patrons awaiting check-in & there was no lag at all in the process. We were seated almost immediately. We were greeted tableside right away by our OUTSTANDING server, Rick. The music was perfect for dining. The evening continued with libations, (the French 75 was golden!), unique appetizers & artfully presented entrees. Our server was so attentive & his menu descriptions were spot on. Our menu selections were presented quickly & plates were immediately cleared from the table after devouring each dish. We never had to ask for service from Rick, as he seemed to magically appear to insure that all was well with our table. Very Impressive! I must make mention that as a diner who drinks a lot of water during my meal, their water service was on-point! I never had to request a refill to my water glass. I know that’s trivial to some, but certainly not wasted on me. One last mention…. I heard the response “Of Course” to each request that we made from the staff. Overall, 5 STARS for Everything. Start to Finish.

    Overall great Dinner. We were there for a birthday , and were treated with so much care! Crudo was beautiful. Would have liked more gnocchi, but the flavor was so rich, we were satisfied. Swordfish was so juicy! Filet was great. Only issue I had was with being charged so much for water! Didn't expect that. Oh.. and the complimentary chocolate was great the next day!

    We were not offered a second drinks. The bus girl dropped a utensil in my purse and almost spilled my main course on me. Despite requesting a window seat, we were put in the corner. If you are trying to have Ritz carlton prices then the service should match that.

    We did not receive a window seat despite having it in our special requests in my reservation made a week before, and asking multiple times at the restaurant. We kindly requested to be moved to a window seat as soon as one opens. During our dinner, though we had saw 3-5 window tables open up we were not moved as I noticed that our waitress seemed a bit scattered and we were not at the forefront of our waitress’ thoughts or on her service. Service did not stand out or differ from any other regular restaurant I have been to. We ordered the tomahawk and lobster, red wine, marine sparkler, champagne, and the gnocchi and spent $600 on everything in total. Quality was good but nothing special at that price point. I would recommend trying out the Marine Room as a regular restaurant but absolutely not for a special occasion.

    While the view was beautiful and we were there for our anniversary, our table was by far the worse one in the place, placed where the waiters come out with the food and the bathrooms. I had requested one of the so many tables by the window, but ended up disappointed. Besides that, the cocktails were absolutely horrible, extremely strong in alcohol but no pleasant flavor at all. The food was decent, but then again, you're in San Diego, food here is amazing and that's the norm so decent isn't enough. I do not think I'd come back as I really didn't feel welcomed at all.

    From my previous visits I remember the food to be very good however I felt disappointed this time. I enjoyed the octopus appetizer however everything else felt too salty. Service was above average however I feel there is room for improvement. For example, soup servings were brought without spoons and it took noticeable time to find someone to assist.

    We had a reservation at 4:30 pm on Saturday and we’re greeted and seated promptly. Our server, greeted us and did a great job of describing the specials and answering every question we had about the menu items. Food and drinks were delivered promptly and everything was very good. The only drawback to our evening was having an energetic party of 8 seated very close to us after we had started our meal. Although out of the control of the servers, it caused the noise level to be such that it distracted from our meal and conversation. I would have liked for the host to let us know ahead of time as it would have made a difference on where we were seated. Not a huge deal but a little inconvenient. Overall, we had a very good time!

    We have dined 4 times at Marine room since the new chef took over. Hoping each time the food would improve but to no avail. At the most it is disappointing to mediocre. And $500 for 2 and to have such mediocre food was beyond disappointing. For $500 tab there should have been some wow moments on food. There were none. They even had one sauce served on 2 different appetizers and same sauce on a overcooked unattractive sea bass entree. For many years we have been dining very often at Marine room since Bernard G. was chef and every meal was a exquisite gourmet experience. Now it looks like we will cross the Marine room of our list of great restaurants that was always at the top of our list. Frankly not sure if we would be back now other than for holiday dinner that might be hard to ruin. What a shame for a once great restaurant under former great chef Bernard had ti go downhill food wise. But great no more, good no more. We will look elsewhere for a great meal in the future. .
