Editorial review from Citysearch 5/17/2014

The best dining experience, took my girlfriend here when we first met and now we are married… I'm not saying that the marine room is the reason we are married but taking her here for a first date didn't hurt me. The view is beautiful and really one of a kind, I would highly recommend a dinner date here. more

Pricey but great view 6/2/2011

I like this place, the foods are very good and the view of the sunset right by water is great... and you are literally right by the water... The portion is small but it looks and tastes amazing. more

The best oceanview in San Diego 9/27/2010

It doesn't get any better than this oceanview unless you go sit on the beach. This restaurant goes right out onto the sand and the waves actually crash up against it. You can't get any closer than that! Their food and drinks are delicious and I recommend them especially if you have a significant other. more

Corkage Fee 9/18/2009

One of my pet peeves around the industry is when a restaurant has a short promotion and then tries to use it as advertising forever. The Marine Room had a $0 corkage fee for, as best as I can tell, under a year and now it is back to $25 per bottle. Since they haven't corrected any of their online ads, people should be aware. Cons: Corkage Fee is Back more

Marine Room Restaurant is lackluster, overpriced, and no BIG DEAL! 9/13/2009

The marine room was on our list of fine dining in La Jolla, we were visiting form Phoenix Az, and my sister and her husband visiting from Kansas City. We had reserved a table by the window 2 weeks prior. Upon arriving at our reserved time, we were kinda met by 2 very lack luster ladies in black....stated no available window dinning, those were only for parties of 2, we were not told that when the reservation was made....left to find our own, table with NO APOLOGIES! Found a table, and our order was taken by the same snooty waiter we had on our visit 6 years ago....food was OK, nothing spectacular for our fine dining experience. Way overpriced, will we be back....not on your life! more

Claiming Nature 2/9/2008

The Marine Room is one of the most beautiful experiences of fine dining in all of La Jolla. Resting right along side the beach the sun sets a gorgous shine on the water and the sound of the waves hitting against the side of the rocks sets a relaxing atmosphere to just enjoy a great meal with your friends and family. This sounds nice and innocent right? The Marine room tries to claim the beach in front of their restaurant as theirs. They claim it by putting their beach chairs and umbrellas for their guests on the beach and asking any local who sits there to move. While their service is great their hospitality to the locals are not and they need to learn that the money is not always everything! more

Even better now that they have a good chef 12/5/2007

We loved this restaurant for it's unique location (almost IN the ocean) and would go there to watch the surf crash against the glass. The food used to be mediocre but they got a new chef\r and now you get a great meal and an incredible view.\r \r Best time to go is when there is a high tide and big waves.\r \r Warning-- it can be expensive. We save the Marine Room for out of town company or special brunches. more

Very expensive for average food. Paying mostly for the view. 8/13/2006

We went there on a weekend which was very busy. We waited an hour to get our table even though we had reservations for a specific time. Almost everyone there were waiting that long to be seated. The worst was the hostess who could care less about the wait and was extremely rude and nonchalant. For such an expensive and high end restaurant, we were surprised by her attitude and service. When asked to speak with the manager though, he was very pleasant and tried to make up for the wait. Our waiter was also very kind and thoughtful. The food was very average, definately not worth the amount it cost but the view is very nice, especially if you have a window table, which is also very hard to get. Pros: Service. Ambience. more

Amazing Location! 4/29/2006

I will agree with the previous review.. this is a definite special occasion restaurant... It's situated right in the heart of La Jolla Cove... the restuarant has the most beautiful view of the Pacific along with cliffs... it is absolutely amazing.... that being said, I would have to say the the food was mediocre (nothing special if you ask me), but the service is good and the view makes it perfect. more

    Perched out beyond the sand line on La Jolla Shores, waves often splash against the floor-to-ceiling dining room windows, which are the only thing separating you from the ocean...
