    First visit for the 6 of us. Ordered a variety of appetizers and enteees. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the service was top notch. Made it in plenty of time to our show as well! Cannot wait to go back!! So unique for a downtown restaurant to have ample convenient and free parking.

    Mistakenly thought if I made a reservation I would have a view of the marina. I should have specifically said I don't want a table in the corner.

    We had a nice time at Marina Grill. Friendly staff. Food was served luke warm except for the one dish they were waiting on. Weird that they have a catch of the day on the menu but no catch of the day available. At the coast this seems impossible. We Good views!
