Marina Kitchen - San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina

Favorite please to have buffet breakfast. Features 2 live action stations plus all three breakfast fans, large variety of pastry, breads, and muffins, with a bonus Asian fusion section. There are a variety of seating areas including a den style section with comfy couch and low seating in front of flatscreens..perfect for game watching and lounging while enjoy the buffet

Most hotel restaurants don’t try that hard because they have a captive audience. And this place does have a captive audience but they still try hard and deliver delicious food and service. Ate here for dinner 3 times on a recent week-long business trip and had a great experience each time. Had the grilled cheese and tomato soup twice and bacon cheeseburger once. Both entrees were delicious but the grilled cheese was next level. Coworker had the short ribs and said they were delicious. Great drink menu and good view overlooking the pool. Staff very friendly and attentive (Mel, Danielle). Big bar area with plenty of seating.

It is good for what it is. I should have asked for a taste of the Harland Lager before getting a full glass. It tasted like flavored water. The short rib tots teased that they might have a secret entree but sadly, NO! I am full of unseasoned traveler choices. I am off my game from not traveling for 3 years. I really want the fried chicken but that will have to wait for an empty tummy.

This was a pleasant surprise. We've stayed at the Marriott Marquis several times, but have never eaten here before. After a long day, we just wanted a quick bite to end the night. We expected a typical hotel restaurant, but got so much more! We ordered from the chef's special menu and found the food to be beautifully presented, delicious, and not too pricey! The environment was also lively and fun. It was a great way to end our evening. UPDATE: We had another great evening at the Marina Kitchen tonight. My husband ordered the ribeye and I ordered the fried chicken - both delicious. We ended the night with a seasonal eggnog creme bruelee. The ambiance continues tonbe lively and fun!
