Outstanding! Big meaty lobster, Japanese 4oz wygu was more fatty than meaty. Had better wygu other places like Animae but didn't try Australian wygu here cause Japanese is normally best! Shrooms tasted amazing. Couldn't taste speckled truffle on potatoe puree but squash was good with pomegranate seeds. All their mixed drinks were presented nicely in Small cups. Drinks like cast your spell and ain't talking bout pumpkin were our seasonal go to. Great view of ocean and waves. Tried going during king high tide, but even at max peak, waves didn't Crash up against the windows like they did last time for us. $300 for 2 people with our order above, could've definitely doubled that with a bottle of wine or escargot or oysters.

Took my boyfriend here for his birthday. Lovely atmosphere and food. Worth it. The Bunny Slope drink was to die for. I can’t stop thinking about it. Both tartare appetizers were phenomenal, specifically the steak. The caviar was lovely, just melted right in our mouths. I ordered the Japanese A5 Wagyu and it was phenomenal. No words can describe. Boyfriend got the Australian Wagyu; tried and it was tender and juicy. 10/10 recommend.

Was amazing experience and good food. We love our time there. I ordered oysters and my husband ordered tuna both was amazingly cooked. We celebrated our anniversary and they offered us a complimentary sweet. Love the sunset time if you book your reservation and hour before sunset you should be good.

Beautiful setting! Waiter was very knowledgeable. Food and service were exceptional. Extensive wine list. Started with some focaccia then trout tartare which was excellent. Entrees included the ahi tuna and seared scallops both outstanding. Dessert was the apple spice cake as the base with cheesecake mousse on top. Very light and satisfying dessert to hit the spot. Ending with 2 complimentary chocolate truffles.

Tony at the bar was outstanding, started our experience off on the right path. Cassandra gave full service table side and ensured that our great experience continued. Favorite part of our meal was the trout tartar

We know the Marine Room but the Reach International Outfitters Bucket List Adventures for San Diego encouraged us to come for my husband's birthday. The sunset was beautiful. The food was wonderful and the service was very nice - Stefano

We visited The Marine Room in La Jolla for a special date night, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The ambiance is exceptional — candlelight, ocean views, and an intimate atmosphere that makes it perfect for a meaningful evening. It feels elegant without being overwhelming. The food was outstanding. The tuna dishes were incredibly fresh and beautifully plated, with bold yet refined flavors. The seared entrée in the rich sauce was perfectly cooked and full of depth. The cocktails were equally impressive — balanced, refreshing, and crafted with care. Every dish looked like art and delivered on flavor. Our server was amazing — attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. The service made us feel welcomed and taken care of from start to finish. The Marine Room offers more than just dinner — it delivers a complete experience. Highly recommended for a special evening in La Jolla.

We visited there 21 years ago and we excited to bring our friends for dinner. I made reservations for 14 a week in advance and was able to get in for a sunset dinner. Located in the beach in LaJolla it is a great place to dine. The service was wonderful and atmosphere was elegant. I had the filet mignon and Cesar salad.
