Marini’s on 57

I had the pleasure of visiting Martini's on 57, and I can confidently say this place is a hidden gem! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a stylish, yet cozy atmosphere. The vibe is upbeat but not overwhelming—perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic evening. The highlight for me, though, is the view. Located on the 57th floor, the panoramic city skyline is absolutely breathtaking, especially as the sun sets and the city lights begin to twinkle. It's the perfect backdrop for a cocktail! Speaking of cocktails, Martini's truly lives up to its name. They have an extensive martini menu, each one crafted with care and precision. The bartenders are not only friendly but also highly skilled, offering recommendations tailored to your taste preferences. One of the best views in the city. Highly recommend!

My advise is to read their booking email. There are some do's and don'ts which is good to know beforehand. They are pretty strict so it's better to just follow it. The best advantage about this place is their view. Even though you may feel that the price is a little high, based on the building location, based on the incredible view, it's a premium that you will need to accept. I ordered a few dishes and in summary, they are all plated beautifully. In general, the taste is delicious. Flavoured nicely with a good balance that ties up all its components. I ordered 2 starters. The fois gras is cooked with great timing, leaving it a little firm on the edges and nicely 'creamy' at the centre. Scallops also had a good sear with juicy soft centre. As for the mains, both the pasta tasted superb, with delicious slightly complex gravy. The fish also came visually pleasing and tasted fresh and juicy. The lamb however I think need a bit of tweak. Even though I asked for medium, it came quite cooked and dry. Usually medium lamb is juicy but this was disappointingly dry. Fortunately the others were excellently prepared. The dessert completed an excellent meal. Both panna cotta and Mille-Feuille were well constructed. They weren't overly sweet and quite light if you share it amongst a few diners. I guess in the end, the experience matters. The superb view here will be the final decision maker on eating here.

A very unique experience. Gastronomy delight. Superb service with utmost attention to guest. Ambient fantastic with clear view of twin towers right above your view. Will return for more when we visit KL again.

...you've to go thru 3 elevators just to get here...place are not that big at all..mostly T20's comin' here... ...some pro tip:..please leave your trucker.cap...fu cap in your car...you can't wear cap to this club...ordered came from management twin tower petronas...same reason why fitness firstmove out from maxis tower to avenue.k is 'cause maxis management was not too please to see gym rats 'round the vicinity with their attire (its doesn't carry well as a corporate imgae)...same goes here...this is an iconic twin tower.and you comin' here with your trucker cap regardless its a pxg golf trucke cap!.

Great bar with amazing views. Visited after seeing a YouTube clip of someone visiting. Right next to Petronas Towers. Didn’t have food, just drinks, but great atmosphere and great music. They do have a dress code so long trousers for the gents!

This is my first time dining at marinit on 57. Both the bar and the Italian restaurant satisfied me. The services were so great and the food was delicious. I didn't order dessert, but handsome Alif gave me a dark chocolate cake, made me so warm . I had a great night, thank you, the marinit on 57.

Perfect for special occasions. Great selection of food and drinks. The have a la carte and dégustation 5 6 7 8 or 9 dishes (no vegan set menu but enough choices to compose one) Separate Vegan, Vegetarian and GF menus too. The vegan pasta lacked a little bit of creamy something, but it was lovely. The asparagus entry was huge and lovely, the wild porcini soup was amazing. The view is fantastic, the team very professional. They made sure I had vegan amuse bouche and post dessert treats too. Recommended 🙏🏽✨

The four stars are mainly for the view. I had this place in mind since a long time and I don’t understand the hype, the selection, the dress code. The atmosphere and the place are pretty tacky, strange neons, and screen everywhere. The cocktails we had were good but not great, the view tho was stunning and even crazier with the storm and the heavy rain. Try it if you want a drink with an amazing view!

February 2025 I am currently living in Kuala Lumpur having moved from the States a few months ago. For my first Valentines day dinner here in KL, I picked Marini's thinking the food can't be horrible and the views of the Petronas Towers would be a bonus. I reserved via Whatsapp, they made you prepay for the whole dinner for two in order to lock down the seats. The total came to 2654RM, or $600 for the course meal, so not exactly cheap. They didn't have any other options, so there was no choice either. When we showed up we quickly found out the place wasn't full, so the enforced prepay in full was to make sure they get their money no matter what. This was a 9-10 course meal, the very first course was Gallagher Oyster with compressed musk melon and lime. I have the photo of the course menu attached. When the oyster showed up I picked up my spoon and to my surprise it was rock hard. I have never ever had a frozen oyster before in my life, so I asked my wife if this is normal. She didn't think so. So I asked to speak to the shift manager. I protested that the oyster didn't seem fresh, otherwise why would it be frozen? He was very apologetic but insisted everything was fresh but he would get another set for us. A bit later another oyster showed up, it wasn't frozen, but it didn't look like it was freshly shucked either. I went ahead and ate it, it didn't have much taste at the time which was strange, but the moment I swallowed it, I knew it wasn't fresh. It was like a raw dead fish. Oh oh I told my wife, this isn't good. Of course, she didn't eat her portion. The rest of the meal was nothing special either and we headed home after a few hours. As soon I got home, my stomach started to ache, and it was all downhill from there. I am going to spare you the nasty details. But I had to run to the bathroom every half hour or so for the next 10 plus hours. Of course I couldn't sleep and my Valentine night was completely ruined. After an exhausting night, Imodium pills finally did the trick and stop me from running to the bathroom. The very next day I tried to call Marini's, no one picked up the phone, so I contacted them via Whatsapp and told them about happened. This is their response: "We thank you for your feedback and am sorry to hear of your experience. Our management has been informed and we are currently looking into this matter seriously. We have checked with our other guests who happened to order the same dishes as yourself on that particular date, and are awaiting feedback - as we take this complain seriously. Be rest assured that all floor and kitchen staff have gone through various training pertaining to food handling, and have received the necessary vaccinations as required by the Malaysian Ministry of Health. Once again we take no chances when it comes to food regulations and safety. Please give us a few days to gather the much needed information pertaining to your case before we revert." I pinged them again a few days later, they completely ignored me. We are not a week later, I got no more feedback from them. It is quite obvious they just want me to go away and not bug them no more. They got their money and they certainly don't expect me to do repeat business. My suggestion to you all, please avoid this place. Even if they don't succeed in trying to kill you with rotten food, it is obvious this business doesn't care about what happens to you. It is a churn and burn business.

My siblings and I were in Kuala Lumpur for the weekend. My brother suggested Marini's on 57 to celebrate our sis' bday, a belated one nonetheless. I believe our brother made a reservation on their website, as we were disappointed at the concierge service at Ritz-Carlton even prior to us arriving there. Our brother wanted the table by the window with a view; the restaurant needed a min spend per pax (if my memory did not serve me wrong, it was RM300 per pax). FOOD 5/5 I ordered the Cannolo di granchio for antipasti which was essentially prawn and crab cannolo, which turned out to be one of the prettiest food dishes I had. For the mains, I had risotto (sorry, can't remember the name) and dessert I had the caviale truffle tiramisu which was so divine. Risotto was too heavy for my liking. SERVICE 5/5 Service staffs were very attentive and expected for restaurants in that price range tbh. This restaurant may not be a Michelin-star restaurant, but was in the Michelin guide. AMBIANCE 5/5 What was there not to like? The floor to ceiling window offering a panoramic view of the city. It was breathtaking. This restaurant just became one of our brother's fav restaurants in the world. And cos of Marini's on 57, our brother is open to travel to Kuala Lumpur in the near future. PS. Our bro hates the traffic nightmare and in general not a big fan of the city.

Let's start with the positives. It has a nice view. The food is good, not excellent but solid and good. We had a few issues. Our steaks were not made as we requested and they tend to undercook the beef. I ordered and emphasized well done steak, it came out medium. I spoke the the waiter and he argued it was well done. I insisted they cook it more and they charred it and it became beef jerky and they ruined the meat. The other issues was payment. We asked to split the bill between 2 people and mentioned it multiple times. It was ignored and then claimed they can not fix the error. It may seem minor, however, when spending over $500 for dinner for 4, no alcohol, it should be near flawless and better service. It was disappointing and frankly had much better food and service at the Four Seasons hotel nearby and the Grand Hyatt nearby.

Beautiful sight at night, good drinks, good service and a laid back ambiance! it will be great if you come with your family you will enjoy your time

You HAVE to see the twin towers from this bar. Beautiful sight at night, good drinks, good service and a laid back ambiance!

If you visit Kuala Lumpur, it is a must to visit Marini's on 57. Marini's on 57n is located next to the the Petronas Towers. It is in a smaller building next to the twin towers, but I believe it is still one complex. You will take multiple elevators to reach the 57th floor. So exclusive. Once you reach the top, the view at Marini's is stunning. You will be able to see the skyline of Kuala Lumpur. There is a rooftop bar area and the dinning area. You can reserve a table for both the restaurant and rooftop bar in advance. Note that there will be a minimum spend per person. It honestly is not that much when you consider what you will be ordering for food and drinks. The dining area is Italian and the food and service here is excellent. When I dined here, I ordered the 5 piece prix fix menu which offered a sample the chef's delights. The potions were small, but they were very savory. The desert here is really good. I do have to commend the service here. My waiter who was the house sommelier was able to pair my drinks with each of my dishes. So, that would be four drinks. Ha! He and his staff were focused on providing the best customer service for an enhanced dining experience. At the end of dinner, he brought out gifts knowing that I would be traveling the next day. That was so thoughtful. Food and Drink = Excellent Service = Outstanding View = Superb Value = Worth every ringgit

Breathtaking views. Fantastic service. Amazing menu. Amazing bar. What else can I say?

Pretty views and good drinks, but a little pricey. Gets a bit crowded at night. They have an outdoor area where people could smoke.

Had the grilled octopus and it was delicious. Atmosphere and service was good. Nice skyline

Marini's on 57 is a great place with one of the most spectacular views of the Petronas Towers and Kuala Lumpur. The ambiance of Marini's is just perfect....staff was, every time, very happy and super friendly and this reflects on the customer experience. Their service is accurate and speedy. Staff was very assertive with knowing when we took our last sips without feeling to be watched; staff offered by themselves to take pictures of us and were even truly happy to do so. I once went to Marini's on 'Men's Night' which I found hilarious as I was selfishly only used to 'ladies night'. I tried the free cocktail and it was delicious. To drink at Marini's or in Malaysia (except Langkawi) isn't cheap, but the prices were bearable, especially as the service was phenomenal. Marini's offers outdoor and indoor space giving options to customers. I saw people dancing inside and they had an absolute blast while doing so. The music at Marini's was different every time and I remember that I found it very uplifting and even felt like dancing myself which is a rare thing for me. Marini's is literally right next to the Petronas Towers. There were two security checks - on the way up to the top - which took some time, however I felt pretty secure/ safe when we finally arrived at the bar. I will keep coming back to Marini's on 57!

A rooftop bar with two outside patios....hmmmm. I liked the vibe and how the girls here dance their hearts out to even the most monotonous music. The drinks were good (but pricey). The music was not so good and too many people were smoking INSIDE!! WTH? That is my single biggest complaint about this place. The ambiance and the set up were fantastic. The view from the place at night was magnificent. You can see the Petronas towers in all their glory ...until midnight when they turn the lights off. We went here with a chef friend and were able to talk without yelling over music and it was all in all a good time. There is a series of elevators you need to take to get to this place and it had me wondering how people found out about this place. What I loved is that there was no cover and there was no pressure to buy drinks while we were here. Not so humbly submitted, King Michael C

This is one of the most, dare I say the most, amazing restaurant that I have ever been to. Me and my boyfriend are in KL on vacation and we wanted to treat ourselves to a nice dinner, and we certainly did! This place is quite pricey for Malaysia, so prepare for that. We are from the U.S. so it is roughly $30-40 per plate depending on what you order. THE VIEW. It is located on floor 57 and takes 3 different elevators plus a security check point to get to. It is in one of the highest towers in the city and overlooks all of Kuala Lumpur, absolutely gorgeous! What stood out to me the most was the customer service, it was almost as good as the food if you can believe that! Out main waiter so so friendly and welcoming, he really made us feel comfortable in the environment with his sense of humor and explanations of everything that was brought out. He even came over towards the end of our dinner to chat and get to know us a bit better which I thought was very nice! There were multiple waiters serving and taking away our dishes/glasses, all very nice and respectful. They serve you bread when you are seated. We did not order an appetizer because we were afraid that we would be too full, and that was the right call! The portions here are not very big overall but they have a lot of small dishes they bring out for you to try. First, they brought out this beautiful tree with two round food objects hanging from it, this was the "appetizer" before our food came out. One was red and one was green, with a powder coating the outside. The red one tasted a bit spicey and citrusy while the green one tasted more mellow with great flavor, containing some sort of veggie. They were crunchy and delicious, a great way to start the meal. I ordered the raviolo di bagoss e tartufo and my boyfriend got the tangliolini al tartufo. The ravioli was a very small portion, so beware of that. It was served in theee small holes on the dish with two raviolis in each hole, along with aged Parmesan shavings and a cheese foam in each hole with a hint of truffle. To be fair, the waiter did warm me of the portion size but I did not mind. The ravioli was cooked al dente which I loved, and the taste was impeccable! It tasted very cheesy of aged Parmesan and you could taste the hint of truffle that was not too overpowering, I absolutely loved it. The tangliolini was my favorite dish though! The portion was bigger, although it did cost a bit more, and the flavor was so bold. The pasta was slightly thick and the sauce was very creamy. The dish tasted mainly of truffle which was amazing, it even had large truffle shavings topping the whole dish which you can really taste when taking your first bite. The spaghetti was cooked slightly over al dente but made for a great dish. The waiter asked about any food allergies at the beginning of your meal so be sure to specify any concerns at that point. While waiting on dessert, the waiter brought out a "pre-dessert" dish which I thought was a great simple but charming touch on the restaurants part. It was egg yolk mixed with rum and a chocolate coating, he even told us a back story of how this dessert came to be many years ago when sailers were trying to conserve imported rum. Very delicious but very hot so watch out when taking your first bite! Our dessert presentation what just as amazing as the dessert itself! We ordered the marinis sfera, basically a chocolate sphere with raspberries and a caramel mousse filling. This is what you have seen in those videos online where they pour warm chocolate into a chocolate sphere and it melts all 7 layers until it reaches the mousse center! It is a gorgeous presentation because they add dry ice to the sizes so it looks steamy, and the center has chocolate mousse along with some crispy cracker bits that give it a crunch. I would recommend this of all the desserts on the menu! As if the hospitality wasn't enough, the waiter brought out a glass dish with rose petals and a candle at the end wishing us a safe flight, remembering the conversation we had previously had with him. Along with this, be brought out a big black box that had an assortment of chocolate in it and we were free to choose whichever one we liked! I chose two and my boyfriend chose three: white chocolate with coconut, matcha green tea, hazelnut, salted caramel, chocolate nut crunch. Lastly, on our way out the door they gave us each a complementary cookie to eat for breakfast tomorrow morning. By the way, all of the "extra" stuff they brought out what's complementary and we were not charged for any of it by the restaurant. This was truly a great experience!

What an incredible view of the Petronas Towers you get from this pumping cocktail bar. I do love a good bar with a view (or maybe a bar with a good view?). Don't be surprised if you have to walk a half marathon to get there however. The way will take you through the maze of corridors and elevators (some will only take you up for high, then you walk miles across the building for a further elevator to take you all the way to the top?) Anyways. This place is buzzing. There was six of us in total, and we actually managed to get a table - unfortunately in the middle of the room, but thank goodness for ceiling to floor windows which mean you will still have a great view of KL and the Towers - we also hadn't booked in advance. We eventually decided on the cocktails, and they are not the best I've ever had. There was one cocktail had by a few people which tasted rotten (to me anyways) but came served with a carrot on a stick. I managed to claim said carrots because I am a sucker for carrots (the reason why I loved the Ruin Bars in Budapest - they walk around with buckets of carrots, anyways, I'm getting sidetracked). Now, the view is AMAZING, there's an outside section with an even better view where you can smoke hooka (sisha) too, the cocktails are okay, but the waiting staff is rather unfriendly and you better order a number of drinks at once because you will be waiting for a long time. One member of our gang waited for at least 45 minutes and the staff didn't even apologise OR remove it from the bill - which personally I think is the least they should've done. But hey. It is a great view, but I would recommend people to dress nicely for this place, and be happy to wait for a while.

My visit to Marini's took me straight back to high school in the '90s. They played the jams that were certainly spinning at my prom from TLC, Brandy and Monica to K-Ci & JoJo and Boyz II Men. Beyond the trip down memory lane via the music, Marini's afforded me some spectacular views of the Petronas Towers from its 57th floor perch. I also received a free shot. They appear only to give these out to women, much to the dismay of my male drinking companion. The drinks were on the too sweet side for me. If you want to play tourist and take in the view accompanied by some overpriced cocktails, Marini's on 57 will deliver. But you're more likely to find me at a mamak closer to the ground chomping on roti canai and drinking copious amounts of fresh watermelon juice.

Love the atmosphere! The cocktails are amazing, and the view is unbeatable! Great for celebrating special occasions or going for special dates. We love Marinis on 57. Make sure you dress up well!

One of the most outstanding skybars in Kuala Lumpur! The view is tremendous you can see Twin towers right in front of you! The place is very elegant and sexy. There are red carpets all over the lounge and the restaurant. They have inside and outside area's so you have an option to go inside to hide from the rain. I prefer Marini's to Skybar, because the crowd is less touristy and the place itself is more classy. Moreover their service is brilliant. At each corner of the building they greet and lead you towards the entry. It is as expensive as any high standard restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, so why not to have your martini with the view? :)

If you want the best seat from the city, for a full view of the Petronas tower, then you have to go to Marini's 57. I've been here for dinner on a Saturday Night. We had to order bar food, because the restaurant was reserved. So we had pasta and pizza. I was very disappointed with the size of the plate, because the prices are quite high. The pastas were very good. Unfortunately I can't say the same thing about the pizza which was very dried. The place has a big variety of drinks for a hight price. The music is nice and it's a lounge where you can have a nice date or night with your friends. The only downside regarding the music is the fact that it's to loud, which makes it very hard to make a nice conversation with your friends. In specially if you go in weekend. The staff is great and very qualified, making some great drinks. Overview: if you want to have a full view on the towers, I recommend you to seat outside, on the left side.

Marini's on 57 is a bar cum restaurant, but I've only had drinks here so far. The ambiance is amazing with a beautiful view of the KL skyline. From my experience, this place serves the best mojitos. Service here is good and its always packed regardless of the day. Reservations must always be made if you wanna secure a table here, keep in mind that many people that com ehere wanna have a couple of drinks and chill, soits not a smart idea to arrive and wait for a table. There is also a private room for special occasions, if you meet their minimum order requirement then you can book this private room for free. The seating arrangement is really nice too because all the tables are along the full length glass windows and no matter where you sit you'll have an amazing view. There is also an open air area on the sides, nice for a starry night or for smokers. One mojito costs about rm30 which is quite pricey but it has a generous amount of all the ingredients necessary to make a delicious mojito.

Very few of these super high-end of rooftop bars live up to the expectations you have when you first hear about them and see photos. Marini's really does live up to your expectations. To start, it is the highest bar in KL. The view is awesome from up there. It is right next to the Petronas Towers and their glow lights the bar right outside the windows. It really adds a lot to the ambulance being up with there with those towers. It gets everyone in the mood to party This is a great place to take a friend that is in town and wants to see a cool spot and KL. It can get pretty loud in here on busy nights, but there's always the outside seating where it's a little bit less loud if you wanna have a conversation. Drinks are not cheap but they are good. The beers are small but the cocktails are made very elegantly. This may not be a place you can go all the time but it's definitely worth it every once in a while.

Marini's on 57 definitely has the best view of the Petronas Twin Towers. Hey, it is just next to it. However, do expect to pay through your nose should you decide to dine in its restaurant (MYR1k & above per pax). My acquaintance's Italian hubby is the master chef of Marini's. Frankly, when I compared the price we paid for the taste, I would say I am not really impressed with food alone. But it would make a great venue to propose to your special someone. If you are there for the view, I would recommend you head to the bar & order a bottle of wine to enjoy at the open air balcony instead. Remember to dress well. This is a high class restaurant & bar.

Marini's on 57 is a nice way to spend an evening in KL, especially if you are a tourist (like me) who wants a nice and high-up view of both the city and Petronas Towers. We had our hotel reserve us a table-- earliest reservation we could get was 9:30 PM. When we arrived, we had to go on about 3 elevators to reach Marini's (felt like I was going to a CIA complex or something). We got there about 5 minutes before 9:30, but had to wait until almost 10 PM for a table! It was pretty annoying as Marini's prides themselves on a high class restaurant, but we did realize the reasoning for us being seated so much later was so we could have a window table. So it all worked out in the end. We sat and drank wine while waiting (I had the house red-- nice flavor). Anyways, for an appetizer, we split the scallop (literally, one scallop), which was tasty and presented nicely (in the shell, on a block of salt). Quite expensive for one scallop, but that is the price you pay at destinations like Marini's. In between the appetizer and main course, we were presented with a surprise bonsai tree that contained something for us to eat.. I will let you get surprised for yourself. For my main, I had the linguine with seafood.. It was also presented wonderfully (again, won't tell you the secret presentation style ;) ). It was delicious as well, and a perfect portion size. I do pride restaurants that get crafty with presentation style-- it always makes for a more memorable meal in my book. It was my mother's birthday, so I requested a little birthday dessert. Prior to her birthday dessert, we received a giant puff of cotton candy to dine on. Each table received this and it brought me back to a night long ago at the Four Seasons restaurant in NYC, where they serve a puff of cotton candy to you (this was back in 2005-- I am sure they still do something like this). For her birthday dessert, she received many chocolates and a "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate syrup. We checked out the outdoor bar afterwards, but did not stay, as the haze was quite bad. All in all, Marini's gets 4 stars because our wait was very long although we had a reservation and prices were quite expensive for the small portions... But I would definitely recommend going if you are in KL on business or as a tourist.. Or if you are celebrating a special occasion! The view is impeccable.

Marini's is a very pretty place, with several sections -- restaurant, bar, and lounge -- that all offer excellent views over the city.  The Petronas Towers are right out the windows of the bar area; the restaurant area has an excellent view of Menara KL; and the lounge, which is kept dark and intimate, has a more open city view.  There's also an outdoor section on a corner of the building connecting the bar and restaurant sections. Marini's has several creative cocktails, which I think ranged from RM35-60 or so.  The food -- at least in the bar area -- is alright, but I wasn't thoroughly sold, particularly for the price.  The staff is friendly, although not always as efficient as you'd expect at a nice, pricey restaurant.  Also, be aware of all parts of the dress code -- no open-toed shoes or shorts for men, no hats for anyone, no umbrellas -- as they are very strict within the areas of the building they control.  [The restaurant sections themselves, but also the hallways and elevators to get to the various sections.]   "Tiki Thirstdays" was a specific Fail to me.  I've been to Marini's twice, once for drinks and the other specifically to enjoy "The only place in Kuala Lumpur to get your Tiki and Luau fix" (to quote their own advertising...which I don't think is quite accurate); however, during that latter visit, there was no sign of anything relating to a tiki bar atmosphere when I was there -- no related music, decor, food or drinks specials, etc.  I also felt _very_ out of place as the only person in the room wearing a Polynesian-style shirt, among the sharply dressed staff and a full house of customers mostly in business clothes or club clothes.  I was very disappointed.

This is one of the best bars in town to get a view of the towers. Marini's is a restaurant and lounge, which has great music. The service is great, really nice and helpful staff, and the place is simply gorgeous. You can choose to seat inside or outside. I advise you to seat outside on the left, for the remarkable view. The drinks are expensive, but its worth going to visit and enjoy the view once in a while. A small inconvenience is the fact that there is no elevator that goes straight to the 57th floor. You have to take three different elevators to get to the top floor which is a bit annoying, but you will be greeted by very nice staff members, and the experience will be nice.

Marini's has a fantastic view of the twin towers. With the perfect shot, it makes the city of Kuala Lumpur look absolutely magical. Marini's is also a crazy expensive place for drinks. It's a pretty classy place with a dress code. No shorts and slippers that's for sure. I tried a couple of martinis when I was there. The VIP treatment is insane when it comes to this place. You get very fancy shmancy people going to the place. Some of my friends love the place and would go there every weekend because they loved the view and vibe so much. The music gets you pretty pumped up for a club if that's where you're going after. Definitely one of those pre drinking places to check out!

Fine dining restaurant with a nice view of the twin towers. I like the food here, Fancy but to expensive for my taste. I guess you are paying for the view more than anything else. I suggest if you are just looking for the view, Just head straight to the bar.. Cost you less.

We didn't have dinner here since we just ate at Nobu downstairs. However the drinks, views, and atmosphere are an essential checkmark if you're spending time in KL. Don't miss it!

Marini's on 57 is sky high dining at its finest. We finally reached Level 57, the highest floor of Menara 3 Petronas. The doors to the lift opened and we were ushered to our table next to the glass window with views over the city of Kuala Lumpur. It was one of the best views of the city one can get. The complimentary Amuse Bouche was presented as an ornament, hung on the bonsai tree where kalamata olives were coated with a combination of basil leaves and parmesan cheese. For the Entree, I had the Tartar D Angus. The Tartar D Angus consists of Hand Cut Raw Angus Beef and Sixteen Condiments. For this dish, the tartare was mixed with the sixteen condiments in front of your eyes by the waitperson. The tartare was very fresh and delicious. Mum had the Fegato d'Oche which consists of a choice of Pan Fried Goose liver with Port Wine Reduction and Pan-Brioche with Salad. Dad had the Uovo which consists of caviar, 62 degrees duck egg and brioche. It was a great start to the night as my parents gave two thumbs up to their Entrees. For the mains, I had the Baccala Trio which consists of cod fish cooked in three different ways. The dish was executed perfectly and each of the three dishes presented were delicious and complements each other well. The cod fish was seared perfectly and was fresh in flavour. Mum had the Cappelluni All Aragosta which is an Angel Hair Pasta with Lobster Tail and Dad had the 200gm Wagyu Beef with Baked Potato. I did not try their dishes but I must admit, both of the mains my parents ordered looks really good! Before our dessert, we were given a complimentary Cotton Candy and Canele. First reaction of the cotton candy - "Woah that is HUGE!". The cotton candy was fluffy and melt in your mouth. I am still surprised that the three of us could actually finish the whole cotton candy! The Canele was also very lovely with its caramelized crust and tender custard in the middle. Not long after, the Artistique Dessert arrived. The Pastry Chef of Marini's came to our table and created the edible artwork personally, going through each step and telling you what ingredients he is using to create the dessert. Looking at how the chef create the Artistique dessert was an amazing experience. With a splash of colours, a sprinkle of nuts and berries and everything nice, it was a piece of art. There may be many elements but this colourful dessert has the "WOW" factor in it. And yes, everything presented is edible. Amazing. Before we left Marini's, we were presented with a gift to take home to remind us of our dining experience at Marini's. There were mini croissants in the little paper bag we were given and they were so oh so good! Everything at Marini's on 57 was exceptional from the start to the finish. The food was presented beautifully with unique ingredients and the service was also very efficient, attentive and friendly. After reading this post, some of you may question "Where are the prices?" or "I thought Mel would usually put the prices next to the dish". If you are curious, head onto the Marini's on 57 website and see it for yourself. No matter how much it costs, what you pay is truly worth it whether it is the service, food, drinks and atmosphere. I guarantee you that it is a foodie's ritual to dine at Marini's on 57.

Absolutely amazing breathtaking views and to top it off staff were great and food delicious!! Felt like the luckiest girl in the world to be invited here. Special time def come back again. :-)

I came here randomly without a reservation. Little did I know they were holding a private event n closed for the public. The general manager was nice enough to let me in for a whiskey n a cigar before it started. Place is awesome n the view is amazing! Didn't have the food but the cigar, whiskey, and beer were great. Highly recommend if you want to chill, relax, listen to music, and enjoy the view. Great place!

Spent Saturday night in the bar. Music of the 90's was interspersed with some more contemporary offerings. Bar staff were attentive and speedy with a good range of drinks on offer. Facilities fine. Overflow space in the restaurant areas either side when th8 ngs get busy. Be prepared for a slightly circuitous route up, but generally well-signed with staff on hand at each level to press the elevator buttons. Seems odd to end with the best part, but the view is great - i preferred being able to view the skyline from higher than the central bridge of the petronas towers. Busy, loud and as another reviewer stated "pumping" - though not much space to dance!

Feeling particularly fancy one day, my friends and I decided to get dressed up and head to Marini's after hearing rave reviews about the place from our other fancier friends (yes, yes, we're a very fancy bunch.) They were particularly excited about the crowd which shows up there during happy hour, you know, the executives in suits, the businesswomen in heels and the fashionistas in erm, oversized sunglasses. It's a great venue for singles to meet and mingle with each other talking about business, politic, shoes and makeup (for the ladies, or men, I don't judge) The easiest way to access the place is to valet park at the Mandarin Oriental main entrance valet and traipse a mere 50 meters to the main entrance of KLCC Tower 3. From there, you would take the elevator that shoots you straight up to the 57th floor. After the minute and a half elevator ride, we reached fancy central. We were greeted by a hostess which asked us where we would like to spend our time as they had a restaurant, a bar/club and a lounge. Since we didn't feel like dancing at 5 in the afternoon, we opted for the lounge. The interior was an ode to a true gentleman's club, there was a hardwood bar, fur carpets of what used to be a gazelle I think, dark maroon leather sofas and we weren't exactly disappointed by the crowd either, this is where they housed the young, handsome executives, yay! The service was tremendous, we enjoyed a couple of bottles of the house red which were rm160 a bottle, and enjoyed the phenomenal views of the city. The bartender (aptly named 'Boy') was extremely well mannered and nice, he convinced us to try his Sangria, so we did and it was absolutely delicious! I would recommend Marini's to everybody wanting to have a good time! Although, the price is somewhat steep, but the experience of it all is well worth it. I'm excited to try the bar as well as the restaurant another time when I'm feeling as Iggy Azalea would put it, FANCY! Who dat? Who dat?

Wonderful! #wediditfirst #lifeatthetop #marinis57 #themarinisgroup a great place to work, chill, eat, drink explore! Next stop legendary Ronn Caroll for the very first time in Malaysia spinning off KL City GP at The top on and Marini's on 57 is on tour to Ibiza!

What is cooler than having KLCC as your view at 57th floor and only meters apart. This roof top bar has definitely one of the most awesome views in KL city. Do make reservations before hand as this is the ultimate prime spot for romantic dinners at night and group hang out sessions at night. Price is above average but of course, you're not paying for the drinks alone, you pay for the view too!

I really wanted to like this place, but it really falls short of being an upscale restaurant. The ambiance is definitely 5-Star; the view is amazing. The food was VERY disappointing. We had the truffle ravioli to start-- 5 pieces of ravioli with a hint of truffle that was just ok. The main courses were not good. The beef tenderloin was cooked medium rare, even though we asked for medium. The confit sea bream with caviar cost $60 and tasted very very fishy. We even had to turn on a camera light to check if it was undercooked. The saving grace was the tiramisu, which was good and heavy with the espresso taste I love. The sommelier looked at me cross eyed when I asked him if they had Gewurtzraminer wines from France; he had no idea what I was talking about. Then he recommended "merlot," enunciating the T. Omg. His saving grace was that the bottle of wine that he did recommend from France was decent. They did give their version of free petit fours, which were really petit sixes, so that was nice of them. But it's probably because we spent $400. Also, the lighting is terrible for the photos that you think you're going to get.

Nice view but thought it was too pretentious for us. We enjoyed the Ambience and friendliness at the sky bar at traders hotel much more. Traders also has the best view of the towers.

Wine & dine with a stunning view, Marini's 57 has probably got the best view of Kuala Lumpur and the iconic Twin Towers. Perfect for your romantic evenings. Also a great place to bring your friends visiting from overseas. Their prices are a little pricy but you get what you pay for so its worth it! They've got pretty good djs too which plays awesome house music, so be sure to bring your best dancing shoes cuz you'll want to bust a move (it will be hard not to) Good food, good drinks and a great view!

I believe most people would have heard of Marini's on 57, a pretty high end restaurant overlooking the beautiful skyline of KL. I went there for my girlfriend's birthday dinner because she's been craving for cod fish for some time. As for the record, Marini's on 57 is the best Italian restaurant in KL and probably in the nation. For our starter, we had mushroom soup and a selection of bread. While for the main course, I went with STINCO D' AGNELLO CON PATATE AL TARTUFO which means Braised Australian free range lamb shank with sautéed vegetables and creamy truffle essence mashed potatoes. The lambshank was great and the taste was just nice. As for the Birthday Girl, she ordered MERLUZZO ALLA MODA BIANCA which means Pan-roasted Norwegian cod served with warm white asparagus, slow cooked eggs, baked salted onions and warm hollandaise. Wow, that are some kind of names. I doubt I could remember them if someone try asking about it. As for desserts, we had a complimentary Praline, its really cute how they served these praline in such a huge plate. The price range here is kinda high considering the restaurant's standard and the style of their cooks. It is suitable for any important of occassions.

Marini's 57 is my favorite place to go to if I want an elegant and luxurious restaurant and bar to have a few drinks with a city skyline. Everyone knows how beautiful KLCC is especially at night when the lights have been lit especially when you are on the 57th floor right next to KLCC! The type of food they have here are western food. I always order their pizza's because they serve it on thin crust. The dress code here is really tight, no one is allowed to enter unless they are properly dressed. No sandals for ladies, shoes only and clothes have to be neat otherwise they won't let you in. I find it a bit crap how they look you up and down before they decide to let you in. I know they're taking care of their image but what if I wanted to blow thousands of money on drinks but just walk in with sandals? Nevertheless, I do take my friends to this place whenever they come to Malaysia for a visit because of the scenery even thought it is somewhat pricey but a good view normally comes with a good price! :p

The highest bar in KL city, Marini's on 57 is swanky place located on the 57th floor of Petronas Tower 3. The interior is simple otherwise a tad tacky for us. Like most rooftop bars in KL, the views are the gist here. Once you get over the views, the bar has few to offer. It draws a crowd of white collars who work nearby. Word of advice: they have strict policy on dressing code, so guys, no shorts, thongs and hat. There's also an Italian restaurant and cigar lounge next to the bar. Service is decent. But for the price we pay, Marini's is perhaps is not the choice for a second visit.

I cannsay its a bit overpriced and the service wss slow. The view is not so good becsuse of the dirty windows

Amazing view and cocktails. Overlooking the city you can truly enjoy Kuala Lumpur. Come dressed to kill

One of the highest levels of service I've ever had. Had their 8 course meal - all dishes were very unique and tasty.

Perfect place to take visitors for a pre-dinner cocktail or two, during the happy hour. Great friendly staff.

Stunning view with good fine dining quality. Lovely ambient and excellent service and with that comes with a 'price'. Perfect for romantic dates or anybody who wants to enjoy good italian food while enjoying KL view. My fav was lobster and risotto, would definitely come back!

The food was excellent and the presentation is impressive. The service was excellent. My husband and I really enjoyed this place.

I'm a fan. With an almost aerial view of the Twin Towers, the view from Marini's is pretty hard to beat. Even the point of entry is exclusive: one uses a private lift which whizzes up to the 57th floor, and opens out to a crowd of well-heeled socialites. As an upscale establishment, prices are pretty upscale too, unless you visit during their daily Happy Hours (late evening before the sun sets). The Happy Hour prices are great value, and oftentimes even cheaper than prices at ground level! What's not to love?

Prepare yourself guys, strap on that tie, iron out those wrinkled shirts and brace yourself for a fancy and refined night out with that special friend of yours. Split into 3 sections, including an alfresco area (my personal favorite), customers have the option of choosing their dine in environment, and with rooftop dining living out their primes at the moment and Marini's playing host to probably the best view of the city, expect to pay a premium on everything. The food was rather pretentious in my opinion, and to no surprise, underwhelmingly unsatisfying on my part, but for me it's really all about the experience and that unparalleled view, which I was left gawking at for quite a bit. So be realistic in what you're actually paying for which really is an arm and a leg for a snooty dining experience. By the way be sure to make your reservation a couple of weeks in advanced. Overall, Marini's is the sleek, seductive rooftop destination that the wallets of men go to perish in a fiery abyss of flame

Went to the restaurant.. GREAT VIEW, Shitty food. Take the $250 and buy her something nice.
