The Scene – Perched out beyond the sand line on La Jolla Shores, waves often splash against the floor-to-ceiling dining room windows, which are the only thing separating you from the ocean at this classy, coastal establishment. It's won nearly ever local and culinary award in the book--from service to best chef--and it's all for good reason. This quiet, romantic destination defines San Diego's fine dining scene. – – The Food – Nearly every dish that lands on the table is overwhelming, considering the view in the backdrop, but a few standout starters include roasted…
Editor's Tips
- Where to Sit:
- See the waves crash againts the windows during summer high tide dinners. Call for exact high tide dates and to reserve a guaranteed window table.

Nice View... But Food? Just OK
by Luv San Diego at Citysearch
The Marine Room is beautiful. The service is amazing. Our window table was all we imagined it would be. (last night) But let's be real.......
The food was "just okay" & way over priced for what it was. And my opinion does come with some experience in the kitchen. I mean it was good food; very pretty. But it was no better than 100 other restaurants around town. I've had the same yummy Merlot in DelMar, along with fabulous food & a better sunset, for almost half the price. My salad last night, had a fancy name, but it was just greens, with a bite of fruit, a crouton & a sliver of cheese. Some of the greens absorbed the vinegarette, which made them a bit soggy. But the vinegarette was one of the best I've tasted, so..... The ugly brown sauce my pork cheek & scallops were sitting in, had a strange smell & no taste, and added nothing to the dish. The deserts we had were awesome.... Yeah for that!
I do get it, why people want to eat here. And why they want people to know they ate here. But it has nothing to do with the food being superior. What ever makes you happy; go for it. All in all, I'm so thankful we can now cross the Marine Room off our list.
Bon Appetit!

Pricey but great view
by diane79 at Citysearch
I like this place, the foods are very good and the view of the sunset right by water is great... and you are literally right by the water... The portion is small but it looks and tastes amazing.

The best oceanview in San Diego
by Corey29 at Citysearch
It doesn't get any better than this oceanview unless you go sit on the beach. This restaurant goes right out onto the sand and the waves actually crash up against it. You can't get any closer than that!
Their food and drinks are delicious and I recommend them especially if you have a significant other.
