First time here but it won't be my last Restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating (heating lamps available) We opted to sit inside because it was a cold day . We sat at the bar and watched the football game. Inside is clean well organized and has lots of seating available All employees were very friendly and welcoming that is a huge plus We felt right at home Bar is well stocked, I ordered El Jefe $16 Friend had a mimosa We ordered focaccia bread 7$ very good and the Nonna sauce it came with was very tasty Steamed mussels with garlic bread, also very good and shrimp ravioli was amazing We shared everything, as in to say that the portions sizes are big and very shareable! We took food home Overall food is very good Ambiance is great Prices are very reasonable Parking is safe and easy to come by Only open Friday- Sunday Closes at 7pm We tried coming last Sunday but we got here too late glad we didn't give up read more

Great view of the Marina. The decor feels like your outside. Parking can be a little tough but there's overflow parking across the street. Food was good for sharing but taste was just okay, tipical. . A plus is it is a great place to hang out with friends. Walk around the Marina afterwards or beforehand! The service was excellent. They kept checking on us and kept making sure to clean up to make room or for our table to be tidy. read more

Dining On The Dockside! We came for lunch with colleagues as it's close where we work. We didn't know this place existed until someone mentioned it at work. It's literally next to Hana Japan restaurant! It's a small place with a separated kitchen from the dining area. One side of the dining area has an open wall structured. So it's almost open to the outside as if you're seating by the dockside. So we checked it out and just ordered a couple of appetizers! We shared the furikake fries with truffles and cheese and Fritto Misto, calamari. But I ordered a cup of clam chowder soup for myself. The furikake fries were good. But was expecting a more stronger scent of the truffle flavor. Just wasn't strong enough. Also, wish the fries could have been cut thinner so it could absorb more flavors. However, everyone's favorite was the Fritto Misto! The batter was just perfect, with slight crunch and just melted in my mouth. The calamari was tender and soft. Not chewy at all! Will definitely order calamari again next time! As for the clam chowder! It's good and tasty. But there were some big cuts of potatoes. Perhaps slicing them in half will be better for consistency, But I'll order it again! Overall, the service was decent, the ambiance was cozy, and the food is good! For sure we will return again at this Marina restaurant by the dockside! Perhaps you should check it out and experience it for yourself! read more

We were greeted like royalty right through the door by Michael and Nassim came over and seated us right away and our view was just stunning. We looked at the special menu that was on the table and I am definitely going to come back and hit some of special that's on it. It just really looks wonderful. My wife absolutely loves the choice that was made to pick this place to have dinner. Just based on our first impressions. Very romantic. I strongly recommend reservations if you can and it's important because not a large restaurant.. The place is very interesting because the bar and the kitchen are in one building and there are only have a few tables there. Understand you are very lucky and book a reservation. They have a wonderful area just a couple steps from the front door that overlooks the harbor and all the boats, and you can sit there with open windows looking out over the water. It was magic. I like to look at this place because it's very well suited for the Bay lifestyle, clean spacious and organized. The staff never leaves you alone for a minute if you need something they're there for you without interfering with your privacy. As it should be. We started off at the clam chowder and then our entrées were shrimp and grits. It looked really amazing and the other entrée that we're having is the crab and yogi special. Of course we shared and management was very accommodating for us. Every dish that we were served right up to the minute, we walked out the door was perfect. The sauces weren't too much. The flavors were perfectly blended together, making these incredible sensations of happiness with foods that you're not too familiar with in some cases. I think there was a lot of thought that went into this recipe and the menu . Be sure when you go to their website and look to look at the photos of the food that they serve there it's very elegant and stylish and a lot of appeal and new flavors that you may be haven't tried before. And I would say bring a date or friends because it's that kind of a place There's no candles, but you don't need candles when you can look at a beautiful sunset. My great thanks to the crew that made our stay a memory that we want to return to and thank you for your hospitality because you wear it on your sleeve proudly and you have done a wonderful job bringing this new restaurant into the area. I'm one happy customer that had a wonderful evening with his beautiful bride, and we will return. Big thank you to Manager Mr Yoon who took my reservation , for a perfect visit. read more

Luckily, we were able to ammend our reservation by 30 minutes. And glad we did cause they had 2 servers and 3 more parties ended up coming. I Had no idea this place was located here... so close to our home. The ambiance was great we sat at a high table and a wonderful view of the water. I ordered the seafood risotto. You get 2 clams, 2 shrimp, 4 mussels. It was so rich and flavorful! But felt like it could do with a little bit more of risotto. If you were to take out the the seafood, it was less than a 1/4 of a cup. The server really recommended the pastas, but I had so much pasta through out the week that I needed something else. My husband ordered the fish and chips, and the batter on the fish is magnificent! Super crispy. His fish portion was really good. He got 2.5 pieces of fish. We had also ordered a lemonade but it never arrived. They got so busy towards the end of the meal, that we decided lets just get the check and head out. We would definitely try again. read more

This is a great place for dining especially being on or near the water in the marina. The service was beyond excellent and the atmosphere was very nice. The parking is a bit of a challenge so bring your patience. I had the fish and chips and it was delicious and abundant. My wife & sister each had the cioppino and the both finished their food which neither ever do. My brother in-law had the steak and fries, which he loved. We had s'mores dish for desert which was very delicious. I would definitely recommend this place and I will come back next time I'm in Northern California read more

Sad to report that the chef has changed and the food, which once gave us beautifully balanced sauces and creative food, is no longer as remarkable. The glazed chicken wings are now dessert-sweet, and the seafood pasta had a tasteless sauce. A "Korean Steak - marinated boneless short rib" was ordered medium-rare, came out purple-rare. It was soaked in a super-sweet teriyaki marinade/glaze, and unpleasantly chewy. The tiramisu was pretty good, however. Very disappointed, and probably will drop this off our 'preferred' list. It's a shame as the location is lovely and the parking fairly easy. read more

Marina Seafood Dockside Patio - (Korean Steak) ....This is NOT medium-rare - I had to send it back - Seafood Near Me - Berkeley, California

For me, a harbor view, great food, friendly service, and the perfect background music make this restaurant a winner. Our table was next to the open window, seeing the boats and the gull made me feel like I was on vacation. The background music was perfect; John Coltrain, Ray Charles, Chuck Berry, and many others. All the way home I was singing "It Goes to Show You Never Can Tell". I had reviewed the menu and decided what I wanted before I met Toni and Lori here for lunch. Alas, they did not have what I wanted on the lunch menu. The lunch menu did have many choices. I decided on pasta with shrimp in a pesto sauce. I also ordered a side salad. The simple salad was nicely dressed. Even though I was full, I ordered dessert to take full advantage of the 15% Yelp check-in discount. I did end up taking the tiramisu home along with most of my pasta. Despite being at the busy Marina it isn't easy to see, the restaurant is behind Hana Steak and Seafood. It is worth finding. I would like to go back for dinner to order what I saw on the menu before I went to lunch. read more

We tried the clam chowder, the shrimp and grits, and calamari. The chowder was delicious but they really skimped on the broth. It felt like a bottom of the bowl portion upon receiving it. Which is such a bummer because I loved the flavor and richness of the broth. It did have a solid amount of clams in their shell, and those were great too. The shrimp and grits were decent, nothing to write home to. It was missing something for me, can't put my finger on it. But it did have a nice little spicy kick. I felt the portion was a little small for the price for this dish. The calamari was delicious and cooked perfectly! Love the bits of fried lemon slices too. Definitely recommend! Our waitress was very sweet as was the hostess who checked us in. I'm excited for when they get their windows fixed so that you can see a direct view of the bay. Oh! And for anyone who has an electric vehicle, there's a Chargepoint slow charger in the parking lot. We were desperate for some miles and that's actually why we chose to eat here, due to the fact there was a charger next to it. Great find! read more

Cute spot with a view of the harbor. We got takeout since we had read that they had an outdoor seating area and we could bring our little dog. The outdoor area wasn't quite done yet. Fish and chips were tasty. The staff was friendly. We took our food down to the end of the street and sat in the parking lot looking across the Bay at San Francisco. read more

We came to celebrate Father's Day. The view and bay breeze was nice. We had fish and chips, cups of clam chowder, fried chicken sandwich, crab sandwich, chicken wings and a butter lettuce salad. All tasted good and fresh. I liked the crab salad with the truffle fries. Chowder was a little too soupy for my tasting, I like it thicker. Service was friendly but a little slow. Overall pretty good. I'd come back for the view and some cocktails. read more

Expensive, but mediocre food. Two stars for our kind server on Mothers Day, and one for the breathtaking view. The saddest thing about restaurants in this area is that all have breathtaking views, but so-so food. I really want this place to survive, so my review is not to hurt the restaurant, but to point out the flaws and with the hope that they correct them. The East Bay needs more good restaurants on the water! Here are a few issues I experienced: *Overcooked pasta *Overcooked calamari, possibly due to it being frozen *Flavorless $$$ clam chowder *Tasteless $$$ and luke-warm lobster bisque *A seafood restaurant with only one whole fish entree There was a Chevy's restaurant nearby that recently closed with the same issues, but the food there was less than mediocre. Skates is another one - although I believe they're under new ownership, so we'll see. Good luck! BB read more

Wow. What a hidden gem! We found this place by accident and absolutely loved it! The food was excellent. Service was attentive and friendly. Michael was the best! Great view of the marina! Will definitely come back! The fresh fish was done perfectly and the cioppino was super yummy! read more

Such a beautiful location! They're brand new so they're still working out the kinks but this place is awesome. Service can be slow but very friendly as they launch this great place. Fish and chips is amazing. First time I came there were two huge filets but second time only one. Clam chowder leaves much to be desired-watery and lacking flavor. Actual clams in the chowder was a nice touch. I will continue to come for the view while they keep perfecting this soon to be gem. read more

I was really excited to hear that a new restaurant opened in Berkeley Marina! The place was lovely and located right next to Hana. Free parking and accessible via the 51B. We ordered the Pei Mussels, Dockside Burger & Fries, Dungeness Crab Risotto, and a few cocktails. I LOVED THE mussels (delicious sauce and bread). I also enjoyed the Blue Fin cocktail. The risotto was good but not what I expected. I thought there'd be chunks of crab already in the dish, but you have to crack the crab yourself, so it can get pretty messy. Service was also great, but it was strange that the server asked to record my name and phone number before I could get seated even when I said I didn't have a reservation. (It was around 4pm and there were tons of empty seats anyway.) I gave my personal information but this shouldn't be a requirement to dine! read more

Was looking on Yelp (obviously, haha) for oysters and came across the listing for Marina Seafood that I hadn't seen before. I was delighted to see that this place had just opened up, so we had to try it out. This restaurant just opened shop on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, so they are still less than a week old. Staff and Service: - Staff members were friendly - Given how new this restaurant is, the members were confused by the tabling system (I.e. which table is which) and served food and checks to the wrong tables. I know they'll get this in no time! - It was a bit concerning that they took so long with our credit cards. Turns out, I was charged for the full bill instead of splitting. I will supposedly get half back in a few days Food and Drinks: - Oysters: Oysters are sold individually and they are from Washington. I couldn't hear the full pitch, but there are different oysters available for $1 more / oyster. The two that I had contained some larger pieces of cartilage than I would have wanted (instead of mainly the meat). The hot sauce that was provided came in a large bottle with a large opening. This caused the hot sauce to come out quickly (even after testing first) - Furikake Fries: the highlight of our visit. These fries were so tasty and came with a gochujang mayo sauce that was delightful. Comes with a little kick, so beware for those that don't like spice. You can request a little container of ketchup instead - Citrus Beet Salad: good size for an individual appetizer or to share with someone else as a side dish. This dish was delightful as well and balanced between the flavors of the beets, goat cheese, and citrus slices - Tamarind Margarita: This was tastier than I thought it would be. I enjoyed the tajin on the rim and the thin slice of lime (rather than a large wedge) Miscellaneous: - Parking is available via a parking lot right outside the restaurant - Heat lamps are placed around the restaurant, providing nice warmth given the open hybrid nature of the restaurant - Enclosed indoor seating is available right across the path where the bar is - Expect amazing views as the seats are strategically placed to get a view of the water and the boats Tips as the restaurant continues to develop: - Provide the small forks for oysters - Provide a different container for the hot sauce so it doesn't all come rushing out (I.e. the same container used for the other oyster sauces) - Provide a small container for salt and pepper instead of one of the servers having to grind pepper on each oyster - Have servers write things down to avoid mixing up orders, forgetting orders, etc. - At one point, there was a significant amount of time in which there were no staff members in the hybrid seating, causing many to wait around - The menu isn't the most kid-friendly - good for date nights, friend groups, family dinners, etc. Excited to come back and see how this place has progressed in a couple months! read more

We can't say enough about the staff here - they're so lovely. All of them!!! Jill makes the entire vibe... she is a WHOLE vibe!!

(Order the Response - it's a rose water cocktail you never knew you were missing)! The ambiance is so sweet right on the dock in the marina overlooking the water with great lighting. We can't wait to go back again and again. read more

A friend mentioned walking by and noticing this new restaurant at Berkeley Marina, and I was intrigued. So on this Saturday, after the morning rain, I thought I would come check it out. The restaurant wasn't very busy when I arrived, and I was told I could choose any table. I chose one on the marina side, and asked to raise the shade so that I could enjoy the water view. Before I even sat down, I already knew I must have the seafood fettuccine, and I was not disappointed. The housemade pasta was cooked perfectly, and the shellfish was done well. The tomato/fennel/saffron sauce was silky and delicate, and coated the pasta beautifully. The Calabrian chili gave just a slight kick without making this a spicy dish. In my opinion, it was a perfect portion size - bigger than a proper Italian pasta course, and smaller than an American entree size serving. I was able to enjoy a few oysters, and a salad as well, without feeling uncomfortably full. The charred gem lettuce salad was well executed too. Michael was my server and he was great! He was professional, attentive, warm, and friendly. This may not be a fine dining destination kind of a restaurant, but my first experience has been fantastic. Every staff member I met was welcoming, and seemed to aim to please. I looked around and noticed the other diners, adults and kids, were happy. I look forward to returning with friends, so that I can sample more items on the menu. There is a parking lot, which is nice. There are patio heaters throughout, but do bring a jacket in case it's cold/breezy/windy. read more

Family dinner here last night and the experience was great. Our waiter had outstanding attitude and was very attentive. The place is located at a nice spot near the Berkeley Marina and if you get a table by the window you will get a nice view the harbor. Food was pretty good overall. We had Calamari for an appetizer that was paired with this house made chives mayonnaise which went very nicely with calamari. As for entrees, we had steak frites and the special of the week which was boneless Korean short ribs with jasmine rice. The steak and short ribs were cooked exactly how we ordered it and seasoned just right but overall the dishes were a little bit on plain side. Would have been nice to see the steak frites topped with crispy onions shavings and the short ribs could have used a side of cole slaw with it just to switch the taste buds a little. The only other slight disappointment I had was when we asked for another helping of the chives mayo we had to get charged $2 for the sauce. Overall, a decent restaurant with a very nice view. 3.5 stars for me. read more

Lori, Terry and I met here for lunch today. It was Lori's choice. Our server was Kendall and she was wonderful, warm and helpful. I wasn't sure whether I wanted the fish and chips again or the shrimp and grits. I didn't see the shrimp and grits on the menu and didn't ask. I decided I wanted the fish and chips since they were so delicious last time. I added a salad for $2, which seemed very reasonable. Terry ordered shrimp and pasta w/ pesto and also added a salad. Lori got the fish and chips, adding salad too and ordered a cup of clam chowder to go. We all had water to drink. The salads were brought first and were quite generous as well as tasty, albeit simple. I think there were more vegetables in the one Nina had, although I could be misremembering. When our mains were brought they looked marvelous and tasted even better. The woman who brought them brought us malt vinegar at my request and Lori gave me hers because she prefers tartar sauce. As before, the fries were plentiful and delicious and I could barely make a dent in them. Terry took a couple and I sent what was left over home w/ her since I wasn't going to take them home w/ me. After lunch Lori and Terry decided to have dessert, the lemon tart for Lori and the tiramisu for Terry. They both offered me bites and the lemon tart was excellent. The tiramisu was rich and decadent, tasting strongly of coffee, in a good way. I liked it a lot. Terry got to a point where she couldn't eat any more and took the rest home. The music playing overhead was a wonderful mixture that ranged from Al Green to Ray Charles to John Coltrane to Dave Brubeck to Chuck Berry and beyond. We could identify most of them but Lori showed us an app called Shazam that will listen to the song and then identify it for you. Too cool! read more

Wonderful food and the view of the Marina was so relaxing Kendal and all The servers were attentive and excellent! I wrestled with my menu selection. Saffron Risotto with shrimp or clam chowder and grilled cheese or fish and chips. The Fish and chips won because my lunch mate and friend Toni raved about the fries and the fish. She got that also! She was right!!!! The batter on the fish was so crisp and so light and the fish flakey and yummy ! With the Tartar sauce it was my perfect meal . I solved my chowder issue by getting a cup to go! Dinner tomorrow! Terry got the shrimp and pasta with Pesto sauce . It looked good! She took home most of it! We decided to look at the dessert menu. Could not resist....the Lemon tart with whipped cream and raspberry sauce was a refreshing ending ! Terry got the Tiramisu , we all had spoons and tastes and agreed both desserts were yummy! I will return for the risotto ! The background music that was playing was oldies ! And perfect for us it was fun to listen and guess who was singing . I cheated and used my Shazam app on my phone! read more

Food: Great flavor. Taste is balanced. I tried fish and chips, fried shishito peppers, and charred gem lettuce. The portion of fish/chips and fried shishito are quite large.

Great for any occasions. read more

The clam chowder was so good! We had a reservation for a Saturday night. It didn't seem overly busy, but they were already low on clam chowder, so they gave us a smaller portion on the house. The broth was thick and rich, and it was full of clams - so delicious. I would go back for the clam chowder for sure. We also ordered the burger which was tasty and juicy. Fish and chips had a nice not-too-heavy breading and tender fish on the inside. The wings had a nice tangy sauce, and were still crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. Overall, we were happy with everything we ordered, but the Clam chowder was the star. The room that we were in was open on a cold night, but heaters kept everyone warm and comfortable. I would try them out again, and hope for more clam chowder next time! read more

I had an impromptu late lunch meeting here after a walk and so glad we stopped here! I've been wanting to try it out since opening and I was not disappointed. I love the indoor/outdoor layout because I enjoy fresh air but the heating lamps make it enjoyable & cozy. I'm also a fan of smaller more intimate restaurants vs. large. The staff is super friendly and our server in particular was most definitely attentive. She knew what I needed before I did, was knowledgeable about the menu options + wine, & even offered similar wine pairings for me to try since my original selection wasn't in stock. I am a fan of the range of food options. There is literally something for everyone. I ordered the Pappardelle and added shrimp. It was delicious! The shrimp was cooked perfectly, sauce was light but flavorful, the mushrooms added to the fresh flavor, and the portion size was spot on. I was offered fresh pepper to top but declined. I personally like to taste the food before adding anything & it was perfect. I originally came for the clam chowder but will have to come back to try it! It's my favorite & I love that this place uses fresh clam. I look forward to visiting again and most likely will opt to start having all of my late lunch/dinner meetings here. read more

Amazing service, food and setting. Gem tucked away next to Hana Japan, decided to try it out because our first stop had a long wait. Got in right away, and seated at one of the many tables facing the marina. Food and drinks were . We had the burger, grilled Cesar with prawns and kids fried shrimp + fries (amazing). Everything was delicious, especially the burger - like butter. The star of the show was the service. Our little one was inconsolable after a long day out, and upon coming to our table to introduce herself, Jill (an angel in the flesh) worked her magic, warmly engaging him on everything from Pokémon to the kids menu options. He calmed immediately and was entranced by her energy. By the end of the meal, they were best friends, and he even blew her a kiss . Jill saved the day. Will be back for the awesome service, food and beautiful setting. read more

Came here on Father's Day. They looked short staffed. There were two servers for the entire restaurant. We are pretty sure the chef served us our dishes. I understand this is a new restaurant. I can appreciate the challenge of staffing up for a big day like Father's Day. But we got zero acknowledgement of the poor service received. Our server did not check on us once. We did not get a single refill. We had to grab the other server or the host whenever we needed anything. The food was ok. The ambience was nice. We may give it another try sometime or we may not. read more

I had the chance to visit Marina Seafood Dockside this afternoon with my family. While parking was a bit challenging, my wife managed to find a spot while my daughter and I went ahead to reserve a table. Unfortunately, we discovered that dogs weren't allowed inside, but luckily our car has a dog mode feature, which kept our pet comfortable. Upon arrival, we were promptly greeted by the host and our server, Jill. Since I'd seen some ads on Instagram, I had been eager to try this place, especially before my wife and daughter's haircut appointment. Jill was amazing; she gave my daughter her full attention and treated her like a VIP, letting her choose where we would sit. We ended up at a high table with a great view of seagulls and sea lions--an amazing sight. When my wife joined us, we ordered our meals. I had the chicken sandwich, which was marinated overnight and absolutely delicious. My wife's fish and chips were outstanding--perfectly cooked and not fishy at all. My daughter enjoyed her burger. The overall experience was enhanced by the wonderful view and excellent service. A special mention goes to the Kumamoto oysters. They were incredibly fresh, and the mignonette and cocktail sauce were on point. I was a bit disappointed we only ordered six, but there's always next time! Thanks to Jill from the Bronx for making our lunch fabulous! read more

Having been to many of the seafood restaurants in the area, this is hands-down the best of them. Having tried an assortment of entrees and appetizers, all of them were very good and some were excellent. Mostly it seems like this was the result of good sourcing for their seafood which across the board was rich in color and flavor. The service was excellent and the 5-6 people I spoke with there were friendly, informative, and showed a genuine intent to make sure I had a good experience. The only odd bit was that, as it says in the name, it's a patio. That means the restaurant is technically "indoors" but it doesn't have full walls, instead having half glass and half shades that are drawn down when needed. So, it IS indoors, but it feels like outdoors. There are several heat lamps over the tables, so it wasn't a problem for me, but if you're sensitive to marina-smell or cold winds this may be useful to know. I bet on a warm day it's the absolute best place to enjoy a delightful seafood dinner by the bay. read more
