The 12 Best Restaurants In Marina Del Rey

"A true Marina del Rey original, The Warehouse is a sprawling spot right on the water that first opened in 1969. Fittingly, the outside is a tangle of frayed rigging lines, corrugated metals, and all manner of wharf ephemera, while the inside feels like you’ve stowed away on a shipping freighter (or are waiting to tee off at a Polynesian mini-golf course). The food isn’t anything special—it’s the usual assortment of seafood and steaks—but locals don’t flock here for the refined cuisine, they come to take in marina views on the patio, drink rum-based cocktails served in souvenir barrels, dance to live music, and get their fill of crab legs at the Warehouse’s Sunday brunch. Follow their lead. " - nikko duren, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
