Marina del Rey has the finest restaurants in the
Los Angeles area. The fine foods, entertainment
and seascape settings make the Marina a popular
dining experience. Cuisine ranges from fresh
seafood, steak houses, 50's style diner, coffee
houses, breakfast-nooks, Asian, Mexican, Italian
and numerous concession stands for favorite junk
foods.

Shanghai Reds
Older than the Marina itself, Shanghai Reds has been in the same location for 35 years. It's setting is among gardens and koi fish ponds. It features fresh fish specialties as well as a variety of menu entrees. Great food and a great environment.

The Warehouse
This restaurant is well hidden behind a heavy tree cover but worth finding especially on Sat. and Sun. for the best brunch in the Marina.

The Cheesecake Factory
Guess what this place is famous for? Aside from that, the menu is exotic, the portions are generous, and it features outside dining overlooking the beach.

Edie's Diner
This 1950's diner style eating place is a favorite spot for tourists and locals of every generation. For the coup-de-grace of nostalgia each patron receives a package of Bazooka Bubble Gum.

Benihana
The Japanese restaurant where the chef comes to your table and artistically slices your foods before you. A class act to match the classic fare.

The Fish Market
For fresh fish at a casual seaside atmosphere, this place can't be beat. Has daily fresh fish specials. Great view of the boats navigating the Marina. Located in the Fisherman's Village it is most apropos for its setting. Validated parking.

Joni's Coffee Roaster Cafe
Before there were Starbucks and the designer style coffee rage, there was Joni's. An original coffee house and favorite breakfast hangout for locals, Joni's is located off Washington Blvd., a part of the Marina Beach Shopping Center. Great coffees, great aromas and an atmosphere of originality.
