Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Marina del Rey

Seline is a fantastic experience on the upper echelon of LA fine dining. I would be shocked if they don't receive a Michelin star next year. Highly recommend the non-alcoholic pairing as the concoctions are unique, delicious, and pair very well with the courses. It is a lot of food overall, come hungry!

The food is outstanding and the atmosphere is a perfect Marina del Rey experience.

Dinner’s food is amazing, brunch was mediocre, but the ambiance is always 10/10!

AMAZING! We had a beautiful evening at Melisse last night. The culinary experience was phenomenal, 18 amazing courses of food serves with beautiful wine and exceptional service. We are still very full now! Such a fantastic evening in Santa Monica, CA.

Service is attentive, professional, and at the same time casual. Bar is very comfortable if a bit loud when you’re right under the speakers but bartender adjusted them. Food standouts were the grilled olives and asparagus with morels. Rest of the food including a ‘three-finger’ Bistecca alla fiorentina were very good. Main dining room is cosy low tables and there’s a strip of outside tables enclosed by greenery from the parking lot. The open kitchen next to the bar with the Argentine grill was not being used the night we went. Don’t know if they’ve permanently moved the kitchen or only use it on busy nights. Top 4 of my steakhouses in LA.
