    Bar items. Two sided menu. Bar items on both menus

    AMBIANCE. Lovely gatdenlike entryway; there's a bridge and it's like leaving the world behind and entering a modern relaxed casual space with several rooms most with expansive 180-degree views to the water and marina. It must be gorgeous at night too, there's an extended patio from the bar with a fireplace and firepit. But my party of three met for brunch at 2 pm. With a reservation made off their website. SERVICE: The young man at reception was nice, and although our table was ready we were directed to the bar with apologies as there were several rooms of special events, a birthday and a celebration of life, so the limited wait staff was swamped. Was the explanation. We ask to be seated at our table so we could just enjoy the marina and wait for an available server, but we were kindly asked to wait at the bar. Not being bar people. We just stood nearby and studied the menu. He did come to fetch us. Our server Briana (Brie) was wonderful...helpful, as attentive as she could be considering the servers were spread thin over a very busy large restaurant...friendly. Fyi: Two menus. Brunch menu and an all-day menu. The brunch menu ends at 3 pm. The all-day starts at 3 pm. So basically it's not all day, we were told we can't order from the all day menu until 3 pm. If that's true, then it's not really an all day menu. But I suppose that's nitpicky and it's a lovely albeit humid Sunday afternoon. I take a star off since it was 2:30 pm. And we still couldn't order off the all-day menu. FOOD. The Arnold Palmers were refreshing. 5/5. My friend had the Eggs Benedict with a protein, salmon. she enjoyed it. I ordered off the sides menu assembling ny own breakfast - scrambled eggs, apple sausage, and potatoes. All okay, except the half-cut potatoes, overly fried, very very very very dry, unpleasant to eat even hard to cut.. this batch should not have been plated. The unappetizing poitatoes 1/5 . My other friend fared better with the parmesan fries, though the alioli sauce was goopy and dark like pudding, start to have it on the side so she could avoid it. I tried it. It tasted fine, truffle gave it the dark appearance....not pretty to look at but fine 3/5 for the sauce, 5/5 for the fries with parm. Food overall, not the reason you come here, the food is passable granted we couldnt order from the other menu. But ovetall the food is okay. Order drinks and apps, you'll be happy. One star off for those potatoes. Parking us free. Reservations recommended. tip: you can see the water and boats from every table, better to choose a table away from the perimeter because that glass wall prevents the breeze and on a hot sunny humid day, you want to feel the breeze or you cook sitting next to the glass even outdoors. Just saying. More breeze sitting away from the glass windows. 3 star food, 5 star ambiance.

    I haven't been here in a while but a few years back I had the best salmon burger from here and I just came across the picture. This place changes their menu occasionally, they may not have the salmon burger anymore. Best happy hours in MDR, hands down. The patio view of the marina is a vibe in itself. Peaceful and romantic atmosphere with good service.

    No leftovers because the food was delicious I had to eat everything!

    A beautiful water taxi ride from my home in Marina Del Rey. I love the outside eating area with a view. A great place for events and to experience water animals!

    I appreciate that they have a separate entrance for dogs and their owners. Was a little odd though because I still needed to go inside to find someone to seat us. Food was great. No complaints about the quality or the price. Great ambiance. Our server brought me a small metal dog bowl for my dog Sunny so he could drink water. Sunny gives it a 5 out or 5 paws

    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
    Sharzad M.

    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.

    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!

    Shoutout to Ava! She was so attentive and made sure to check on us during our time. I can't wait to come back and have more apps and drinks!

    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.

    Hotel MdR has officially become my go-to Westside staycation spot and I don't see that changing…read moreanytime soon. The value here is genuinely hard to beat. Complimentary bikes to cruise the marina, cabanas to relax in -- the kind of thoughtful touches that make a stay feel like a real escape without leaving the Westside. Big shoutout to Katarina from the Del Rey Lounge who delivered some of the best hospitality of the entire stay. She's the kind of person who makes a place memorable. I also have to commend whoever is behind the rebranding and marketing direction happening here. There's a clear vision and it shows. Someone is doing great work behind the scenes and it deserves to be recognized. If you're a Westsider looking for a staycation or have guests coming to town who want to be close to the water, this is your place. Highly recommend.

The location is hard to beat, with the property surrounded by boats and beautiful marina views that make it feel like a true getaway. Check-in was quick, and the front desk staff was especially welcoming and friendly. Self-parking was convenient, although the lot filled up quickly and available spaces were limited. The pool itself is very nice, but it was quite busy with families and young kids when we arrived. At times, it bordered on being a little too chaotic, especially when some parents weren't keeping a close eye on their children. It didn't ruin the experience, but it did take away from the relaxing atmosphere early in the day. Getting food and drinks was easy. We simply walked into the bar to order, and the service was smooth. By later in the afternoon, the pool area had quieted down considerably, making it much easier to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Overall, we had a great experience. The beautiful marina setting, friendly staff, and relaxed atmosphere more than outweighed the crowded pool earlier in the day. We'd definitely consider another ResortPass visit. 4.5 stars

    Came here with a friend who in turn was put on the guest list by a resident for The Dockside…read morerestaurant here at the Marina City Club. When he called and asked if I had ever been here, I responded and said no-to which he added that it was understandable being that "Joe Blow" can't just come in here and plop down for a bite-you need to be invited by a current resident and be placed on the guest list. If you want to be transported back in time, specifically either the 70s or 80s on a Friday night, you'll definitely want to come in and dine. The crowd is a nice mix of resonance or friends and or associates of the residents who live there. And while it's certainly not an assisted living home, the average age of the crowd when we attended was certainly on the north side of 60, and for over half of them pushing 70 easily. The ambiance, physical structure, layout & features (both overt and subtle) of the Dockside restaurant mirrored that (era/time/age of the location in every way-and in this particular case I would argue that's a good thing. My guest and I both went ahead and ordered the chicken tender salad, with him opting for blue cheese and myself going with ranch for the dressing. We both agreed it was better than average. Since I don't do alcohol, I didn't order any drinks, but he stated the two drinks he did order were excellent. All in all a great experience at The Dockside restaurant here at the Marina City Club restaurant where depending on what day and time you arrive, you will be treated to some jazz, old disco, or any combination thereof. If you want to go back in time a bit, it's a nice place to visit if you can get on the guest list.

    I've never rented the space nor have I ever seen it in use. I hear the LMU Board of Directors…read moreoccasionally meets there, but I've never seen anybody use it. I know it primarily because it is the halfway point on my evening run. I always stop and take a look at the view, which in my opinion is magnificent. In fact the Bird Nest is ALL about the view from the patio. You can see from Marina del Rey, to the West (see photo I posted) and Century City, to the East. The spot is truly inspiration point. The next time you are visiting the LMU campus be sure to take the time to visit the Bird Nest and soak in the view.

    O Bird Nest. You'll always be the Bird's Nest to me. For some reason, either right before I…read moregraduated from LMU or right afterward, it became a big deal for people who worked for Student Center Facilities or whatever department to refer to this swingin' remnant of the '70s as Bird Nest rather than Bird's Nest. Whatever. This weird clubhouse-like structure will be familiar to anyone who grew up in the '70s or '80s in California. It seems that every place near a beach or a pool had some wooden building with dark windows, a loft, and a conversation pit. LMU's Bird's Nest, or Bird Nest, is no different. I attended many a campus event here, and all of them were disappointing. OK, that's not exactly true. Many of them were wonderful, but Bird's Nest never really lived up to its '70s hype. The loft was always kind of sad, and the conversation pit, while definitely not sad, just never did the best job of maintaining conversations. I will say, however, that it was cool that during pre-orientation my freshman year they had Dazed and Confused on loop here during a mixer. I didn't really watch the movie, and I actually really didn't enjoy this mixer, but this movie and the feelings I had were very appropriate. The Bird's Nest was much cooler when it had a swimming pool next to it. They took that out either in the late '90s or right around 2000. When I was at LMU, it was a tradition that you were thrown into a body of water on your birthday. Most people got thrown into the Foley Pond, which is scary because it's really really really shallow so if you struggled at all you were likely to get hurt. If you had a nice friends, they would throw you into the Bird's Nest's pool. I was one of the throwers once, and the lead thrower counted 2 twice, so I let go of the girl's arms while he held onto her legs. She wasn't injured, but I felt really bad.
