    Happy hour Menu 4-6pm
    Lola B.

    I first have to say this place EARNS 5 stars plus for the exceptional service from Tomawi and her manager Marquise Martin. Let's not forget the great service from Colt as well. These three make a great dream team dream team highlighting high performance and synergy. I first off want to apologize to them for the rudeness they had to face on Friday night. A group of women and a ma or two came to enjoy themselves and had the audacity to state in a rude and disrespectful manner, "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" " I MAKE XXXX AMOUNT OF MONEY AND YOU WILL SERVE ME NOW" attitude. I had never seen this type of behavior in person. I've heard about it but never seen it. That night, I saw it. They felt the need to make a scene, demand to speak to a manager and demanded FASTER than FAST service before anyone else. It was upsetting. No servers deserve to be treated with such disrespect. These ladies were very disrespectful. I did snap a couple of pics of them. Beware!!!! Shewwww them off. They believe they are above everyone. Tomawi gave some great recommendations. We loved the fries, drinks and shrimp. It was my hubbys first time at Whiskey Reds. We request Orange Hill and have gone to the Burbank restaurant's owned by the same company. We definitely loved Tomawi. She was very quick, funny, sweet and thorough. Let's not forget again that Colt was just as awesome. He was busy serving others as well. Now... Marquise Martin..... He is a true leader. He went over and beyond and stepped up and stepped in to make sure his staff were well equipped and assisted during the crazy rush. He didn't just leave them to fail. Even when things were running smoothly, he continued to cheer them on and work as a team with them. This was amazing. I can count on one hand, how many Managers and Supervisors do this. It gave us a great feeling and made us want to come here more and more and spend our money here. This type of management makes restaurants great. The place itself is clean. Delicious food. Clean. Parking is a bit tricky. I got a ticket and it makes no sense why. It said not following posted fishing pictures. But there are no posted signs expect not to park with your rear first, which I didn't. Anywho.... We will be back. Thanks for the fun time and great service.

    Crab Cake Benedict

    We were looking for a brunch spot close to water and found this place. It actually has a really nice view and a good amount of outdoor seating. We ordered the crab cake Benedict which was great. We also ordered the kids' smash burger which came with fries and juice. The only area of improvement was the service. Our server wasn't very friendly which took away from the experience a bit. Also for the kids' juice, we ordered apple but were given orange instead because apple wasn't available. It would have been better to be asked for an alternative rather than having it chosen for us especially since little kids can be picky about what they want.

    I remember having brunch here a few times years ago when it used to be Shanghai Red. I can't even tell you the last time before it becoming Whiskey Red. I'm not sure if they're affiliated or it's completely different. Anyhow, there's plenty of parking in the massive lot. Paid of course but the rates are quite affordable. Hourly or full day for 8.00. Quite reasonable for paid parking. It's along the Fisherman Village in the marina. The views are quite nice from the patio. Our group stopped by for a drink while waiting for the escape room nearby. It was just after 12 which it didn't seemed that busy. And it was a Sunday. We popped into the bar area which there was a lady that was working. She was quite sweet and the only one making the cocktails. There was a few of us so we knew that'll it'll take some time being only one person was behind the bar. It was fine, they had the game on for the boys. Well, then someone else came to help out. Let's just say they didn't seemed interested and a bit bothered by us. We ordered some fries to munch on with the cocktails but when they arrived it was slightly warm, basically cold. We asked if they could be replace for a hot batch which they did take back. When the new order came out, it wasn't just me but two other friends did sense the attitude from the other guy. It was somewhat of here's your fries straight out of his hand. Felt like he just threw it to us. Three of us all felt the vibe so it wasn't just me. I don't know if he was bothered by us or that we asked for another batch. Either way, the attitude was there which left a sour taste for us. This being the first time since the old name, it wasn't a memorable experience. I don't know if he was having a bad day or he didn't mean it but the tension was clearly there. Not a good way to start the day... The female bartender was sweet though.

    Today we had an event at Wisky Reds. Everything went well, including the table set up. The food was very tasty. The staff was great and you can't get a better view than sitting by the water watching the boats go by in Marina del Rey. I highly recommend this place. The management is very great. We've met two of them so far Brooke and.Annie If you're thinking of having an event celebration of life or anything like that, I highly recommend Whiskey Reds will be back again to try the rest of your great food and get another glimpse of the sea lions

    Let's start with parking. Located in Fisherman's Village. The lot is shated with all the other businesses. There is no longer staffed gates and instead Pay Stations. You need go to a Pay Station first, put your license number, select the length of time, and then pay. You get a ticket and then have to walk iit back to your car and dispay inside on your dash. Unfortunately, the Pay Stations aren't very visible. It was pouring down rain and glad I decided to drive around (vs walk) to find one! Parking price was very reasonable, $4 for 4 hours. Whiskey Red's is a popular venue for private events (weddings, meetings, etc.). It is located on the water with nice marina views. Staff was very nice and friendly, however, for the event today, not sure if they were understaffed or just issues getting food out of the kitchen. Our entrees came out about 20-25 minutes apart at the same table! They were serving dessert while some were still.being served their main dish! One person at our table never received her entree and finally told a server just to box one up to go! Two of us never received our desserts! This is a restaurant and I would expect with a private event, the food should be better than a hotelor country club banquet type of dining. Food was a big disapointment. Appetizers (egg rolls and coconut shrimp) reminded me of the frozen ones from Costco, definitely not house made! Salad was decent. Rolls were King's Hawaiian Rolls! Entrees were okay. I can't speak for the dessert as I never received one. I attend several private events each month (three this week). I definitely would not recommend this venue for a private event!

    Lovely restaurant at the marina on a Sunday evening. We sat outside as we had our little dog with us for an early dinner. Intimate atmosphere next to a fire pit and very quiet. I had the cod - well done accompanied with wild rice and broccolini; my dinner partner had the steak with mashed potatoes. Both delicious and filling - portions were just right for dinner. We will certainly go back. We enjoyed the relaxing service and good food. Be advised of the opening hours - they may close earlier during winter time.

    Came for Happy Hour. Can't beat the drink and food prices or the beautiful views! Was not a fan of the chargrilled oysters( didn't like the topping but the smash burger and fries were good. I Will come back and try more items!

    BUTTER POACHED LOBSTER ROLL
    Samantha D.

    BRUH-- this was SO GOOD. I got the lobster roll (I don't even like lobster and I loved it?) and my husband got the mahi mahi tacos and they were incredible! We eat got a drink while we waited for our table! We will definitely be back! It was so calm, and sweet! And the service was so kind! I loved this place!

They don't take reservations, so be prepared to wait. There's a few bars nearby if you're waiting. Once you're able to sit down, you'll find a cute wine bar with amazing food that doesn't disappoint. Don't skip the fries. They're some of the best things I've eaten. I dream about those fries. The Peruvian scallops are dreamy. Very light, very refreshing. The same can be said about the cucumber salad. The standout of the evening was by far the burger. I've been to Dudley Market a handful of times, and I'd yet to try it. I'm so glad that I did. It was probably one of the best burgers I've ever had before. I highly recommend ordering this.

We sat at the bar while we waited for our table and the bartender was so nice and gave us recommendations on the menu. The 'Way of the Road' milk punch was so perfect--smooth and flavorful, it was almost too yummy. My husband had a couple of the spirit-free drinks and he loved them, too--he said they were much better than the usual mixed juices that get passed as mocktails! And to complement the delicious drinks... oh my THE FOOD. We tried so many things and every single one had such a unique flavor. We over-ordered because we were celebrating my birthday, but did we leave a single morsel on the plate? No... no we did not. Highlights of the apps/small plates were the kanpachi ceviche (his fave), the tuna carpaccio tostada (mine!), and the baked oysters. We figured there's no way the main dish could top what we had (especially considering it was fish which is never my favorite), but holy moley the kanpachi en banana leaf with its delicious makrut lime flavor... I'm going to think of you fondly until I get to come back! (For any cilantro haters like me, I didn't even realize it was in there until right now when I'm referencing the menu to write this review, so don't miss out just cuz of that!). The side of coconut rice was so fluffy and perfect (not the usual sticky sweet version that's personally not my jam). For dessert we tried both the sticky toffee and the toasted coconut flan and they were both amazing, too. The flan had this touch of lime zest that added lightness and freshness and helped to cap off the meal without being too rich, so that was my favorite.

I highly highly recommend checking this place out as someone who likes most things but rarely loves a place this much, you really need to check it out. The drinks were also well crafted. The flavors take you on a bit of a journey with their complexity and the flavors blend so thoughtfully together. It's a meal to remember, and definitely a great option for a special occasion, too!

He was very sociable and friendly. We chatted with him and put in an order for the Kiwi Chowder. I ordered a Modelo and my mother ordered a glass of orange blend wine. He came over with the drinks a while later and the Kiwi chowder and have us plenty of time to sit and enjoy the dish before we ordered our main courses. The kiwi chowder was delicious and came with little crackers. The clams and mussels were so tasty and the Ora King Salmon was a nice treat.

I had asked for the server to sing him happy birthday and for a desert to be brought out and I picked out the desert to add to the bill and he said that he could not do that service, yet before leaving 2 other servers were bringing out deserts and singing happy birthday to 2 other tables. The view was pretty, I'm sure this place is beautiful and wonderful for brunch, but for dinner this is not a place to be for elevated dining. I was better off taking him to SALT for a better dining and food experience.

The Santa Monica Pier to loads of fun and has fine dinning and cheap eats along with rides and shops. One of the great places to eat is The Albright. We just love it and go whenever we can. Now, parking is in the huge lot at the bottom of the pier for a fee and then there is a lot of walking to get where you want to go. Get ready for that. The area is safe and super pretty. I don't think they take reservations. You can dine there or do take away. If you can eat there it is fun. The place is super cute with lots of tables and it is clean. The service is very good and the servers seem happy. All of their food is great. We love their calamari and get it every time we go. All the seafood is super. Now, this looks like a mid range place, but if has fine dinning prices, but it is worth it because it is all so great and much of it fresh. We love their seafood platter which is snow crab claws, fresh oysters on the half shell, tail on shrimp, Peruvian scallops, green-lipped mussels, mini Mexican shrimp, mignonette, garlic aioli, classic cocktail sauce & lemons. Grilled oysters are hard to find and boy do they make them well. They are 1/2 dozen oysters grilled with garlic butter & parmesan. They even have great fish tacos. We love the grilled Mahi Mahi which is a taco with cabbage, pico de gallo, chipotle lime aioli It comes with white rice & black beans. Everything there is great. Have the best time.

    This seafood restaurant is part of a seafood market, with a cozy dining area that includes a few…read moretables and plenty of seats along the oyster bar. It was my first time here, and I'm so glad I discovered this place! The seafood was incredibly fresh, and we honestly enjoyed every dish we ordered. The highlight for me was definitely the oysters -- they were so good that I had to order a second round . Another standout was the steamed mussels in white wine and garlic sauce. The mussels were huge, juicy, and packed with flavor. I was also very impressed by the miso black cod. It came with mushrooms in a rich miso sauce that paired perfectly with rice. Everything tasted comforting and well-balanced. Our server was also very thoughtful and friendly. He split the clam chowder into four smaller portions for our group, which made it much easier to share. One thing to note: the seafood market opens early, but the restaurant itself opens at 11 AM. And if you end up loving the fish from your meal, you can actually buy the same fresh marinated fish directly from the market to take home. Such a cool concept!

After this first experience, this place is about a solid three stars for me. I may come back again if in Santa Monica... I am still a bit under the weather and drove here because I wanted some kind of seafood soup. They offer three different kinds of soups which I appreciated! There is NE clam chowder, Manhattan clam chowder and a fish chowder. Since I dont always see fish chowder on the menu, I ordered a small bowl. I wanted a larger bowl and a place to sit down and eat it but the place was packed for lunch and I didnt feel like grabbing a spot at their bar as I needed to get back on the road, so just went with the small (and I am glad I did - read on to see why). They have a funny system here because you only order their menu items from a cashier in the back, but then take a number if you want fresh seafood. I wanted to try their Hawaiian style poke and cashier had me go and grab a number. I grabbed a number and it wasn't busy so I was served immediately. For a 1/4 lb of Hawaiian poke, it was about $9.50. Whats also strange is that I grabbed my soup (did not pay for it in the back), and my Hawaiian poke and then paid up front. Everything came close to $20. I sat in my car, (which thank goodness, this seafood market has its own parking lot, so that was greatly appreciated), and dug into my soup. Unfortunately, the soup was pretty bland and needed a bit more salt. But, I will say that the ingredients used in the fish chowder were all very fresh, and fish wasnt overcooked, but it needed to be seasoned more. Hawaiian poke was great, excellent taste. Overall, a so so experience, I would have liked better scenery to eat my food being I was very close to the beach and wished I had a more seasoned fish chowder. I could be convinced to come back and give it a second try, but I think I might prefer to visit Malibu Seafood which isnt too far from here and has great ocean views.

The place itself was very tropical, and picturesque! We didn't have a reservation, and the hostess told us it would be a 45 minute wait, but luckily we were seated within 20 mins. I don't know how much Parking usually is, but the parking was out of control that day. We paid $45 to park down the street. The food was all VERY delicious. I would say the portion size is on the smaller end. I only had a party of 3, so it worked out for us. We shared a few apps, Spicy Tuna Sticky Rice, Cold Edamame, Teriyaki Burger, Fries, Chicken bites and the poke bowl. Everything tasted fresh, and we loved the fries, they were so crispy and that truffle aioli. Service was fast and easy. We sat chatting for hours and weren't bothered at all.. We would come back for drinks and apps!

The ambiance is beautifully done, modern coastal. Perfect for a comfortable but elevated dinner. We started with the bread service, chili wontons, and gem lettuce. The bread service was my favorite, warm, soft, and the miso butter was divine. The chili wontons were also a standout, especially if you enjoy dim sum. They had great flavor and balance. The gem lettuce was fresh and simple, reminiscent of Jon & Vinny's in the best way. For entrees we had the butter shrimp and Scottish salmon, both really good, no complaints. But honestly the appetizers stole the show for me. Would definitely come back just to try more of the starters. Such a good spot.

It was a Saturday night and pretty empty, but we did go on the earlier side. Our server was also really friendly and attentive, definitely a highlight. The food just didn't hit for us. The bread service was disappointing and looked nothing like the photos we saw. Not sure if we got the wrong thing, but it wasn't good. The shrimp toast was decent but super heavy. The Caesar was not great, and no one mentioned it comes with whole anchovies on top. I'm fine with anchovy in the dressing, but the actual pieces were a lot. The chicken karaage was okay, again really heavy, but the sauce was the best part. We also tried the taco special which was just alright, nothing memorable. Overall, the vibe and service were good, but the food didn't live up to it. Probably wouldn't come back.

Servers were extremely knowledgeable about the menu items and their wines. He had the ribeye and I had the salmon. We ordered the seafood tower and some oysters as well and it was all fresh and cooked well. Im not usually a fan of oysters either but the sauces they have to pair with it and the freshness of the meal made me a new fan and I would be willing to try them if we return to this location. Dad had a red wine that was chosen for by the server and paired well with his steak. I ordered one of their mixed drinks after asking for something refreshing and they offered me something with cucumber and mint. For dessert we had the cheesecake and some coffee. By then the sun had set and the restaurant had calmed down after a light rush. The staff were welcoming and friendly and their knowledge of the menu and drinks made this experience something we would be more than happy to return to!
