"Marina’s Bistro And Rum bar is a cozy neighborhood spot serving fantastic cocktails and Puerto Rican food. You’ll be welcomed with guava butter and a basket of warm plantain chips, which you can chase with six types of mofongo, jibaritos with perfectly fried tostones, or bowls of stewed meat. Get the pollo al ajillo—the flavor will attach itself to your brain with the adhesive strength of a stubborn price tag on a gift. And while “Rum Bar” gets second billing, the cocktails are even better than the food. Unsurprisingly, the drinks are all made with rum, plus housemade syrups and fresh fruit purees. They add to the tropical vibe of Marina’s, which feels like it’s on the brink of being a party, even at 5:30pm on a Sunday." - adrian kane, courtney sprewer, veda kilaru, john ringor
