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. read more

This is my first visit to this establishment and it was very enjoyable. The food, especially the clam chowder was delicious. Mia was so helpful with our table and options for food. The outdoor area sitting was really nice. The view of the sailboats. Lovely lunch Thank you, Mia read more

I got the smash burger and it was juicy! Crispy mahi mahi tacos has mango salsa it was fresh. The clam chowder is very good too with a lot of clams on every bite or slurp?! The clamari is also very good and i love how it had fried bellpeppers in it. The view of the marina is a great cherry on top. read more

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. read more

Whiskey Red's - No leftovers because the food was delicious I had to eat everything! - New American Near Me - Marina Del Rey, California

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to go to Whiskey Red's tonight. It's been so hot, we wanted to enjoy some dinner outside on the patio. We got there at 7:50pm and the servers said the restaurant was closed. Closed at 8pm on a Friday summer night? We were so disappointed. What a waste of a beautiful space to close this early on a Friday night. Such a disappointment of a restaurant in MDR. read more

If I could give Ana A ten stars, I would! She brought the absolute best energy to our table and made us feel like regular guests from the start. Not only was she incredibly fast and efficient with our orders, but she also had an amazing sense of humor and great recommendations. Ana A truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time. Ana A needs a raise. Thank you Ana A for your incredible service. We sat outdoors close to the water so the ambiance was nice. I can't say the same for some of the food we had for brunch. The calamari was cooked in "old" grease, the taste was not fresh at all and it was also salty. The waffles were doughy on throughout like it was pressed not poured in the waffle maker, the chicken apple sausage, eggs and truffle Parmesan fries were good. The mimosas were okay. read more

We mostly came here for drinks and apps but i was very impressed with the location and the views. Miguel was so inviting and accommodating to our requests as we wanted to have a view of the water but be inside. He was so nice to move the table for us. Richard was our waiter and he was so attentive and checked on us often which was so nice. We were celebrating my best friends birthday and Richard was nice enough to get us a complimentary cake and did not mind that we sang very loud. Very happy with our experience! The spinach and artichoke dip was very good and so was the calamari :) read more

The worst experience of my life. After waiting over one hour we were told that the only place available was facing the sun as they did not have an brelka. This is after checking 3 different times for update. First is we are waiting for a table . the second time they were waiting for peoe to leave the third time the table was being cleared. None of this happened. at the end after more than one hous we were offered a table directly in front of the sun but declined and went to another restaurant where we were greeted mike guest and had an amazing experience . we were celebrating my son's birthday and you staff is not the least competent and the manager has no business handling the job and should be fired . What a shame read more

My partner and I went to Whiskey Reds for an anniversary dinner last night. We waited 20 minutes for someone to come over and ask if we wanted a drink. Since no one came, my partner wanted to leave, but I said wait a minute and I went up to the maître D and told him that no one came to our table when a waitress asked the table next to us if they were ok. We were 2 feet away from them. My partner wanted to leave I said, let me go to the maître D. I told him what happened and two waiters came over and brought us water and we told him we knew what our order was. He took our order of a main course side salad and bread. After another 20 minutes again, the bread and salad did not come. My partner said. We are leaving and that's what we did. We got up and walked out and will never go back. read more

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 read more

I'm in California visiting and some friends took me to Whiskey Reds. This used to be a regular spot for us years ago and I've always loved it. I've taken my family, gone with friends, and even though I don't live in town anymore, it's still just as good as I remember. We went for brunch and even though it's actually a long drive, it's one of those places you don't mind making the trip for. The view of the water was beautiful, the weather was a little cold and the endless mimosas were perfect. The food was absolutely delicious. They never disappoint. If you want great food with a great view, this is the place. read more

July 26,2026 Regina Caeli High School celebrated our 50 year reunion here. It was awful!!! The food was terrible. Powdered eggs, burnt and greasy bacon, old burnt potatoes, hard waffles and old fruit. No one came around asking if we needed anything the service was terrible also. We had the room from 11:00am till 2:00pm. At 2:03 the practically put us out!!! I will never go back and I will not recommend this place to anyone. read more

We came for the Thanksgiving Experience, and what a delicious experience! We started with the appetizer platters for the table, then our individual main courses, and ended with a beautiful arrangement of desserts for the table. The cranberry grilled cheese sandwich was my favorite appetizer, and my 2 little girls and I all LOVED the blueberry panna cotta. I had the turkey entree for my main course but was too focused on eating to get a picture of it. I did get a picture of the kids turkey entree though. It was delicious. The service was wonderful, as usual and we had a great view of the marina- our toddler loves seeing the boats float by and watching out for the seals! read more

Today I celebrated my birthday with 2 of my sisters and a niece. We went to a really nice restaurant called WHISKEY REDS, in Marina del Rey. The place had an romantic setting surly I'll be back the next time on a romantic date. But to add icing to the cake, our waitress Shanni was a God send. My sisters and I can be very demanding wanting top notch service, and to our surprise she delivered our food and drinks with care. We called her to our table several times wanting more of this and more of that, she never complained. She even moved the chairs around the table to make us feel more comfortable. Today I would definitely recommend the spot for parties, or celebrations of any kind. And if your lucky enough to have Shanni as your waitress I promise you she won't disappoint. read more

We tried to patronize Whiskey Red's. Came on a weekend during lunch. The hostess/manager greeted us, said it would be just a few to be seated, so we sat and waited, and waited some more and then saw him take off to wait on a very large group. Seems they were short staffed because various tables weren't bussed either. We ended up taking off. Make next time. read more

Really disappointing visit to Whiskey Red's, especially because we were celebrating my aunt's birthday. The service was super slow the whole time. We had a bunch of different servers coming to our table, but nobody was on the same page or knew what was going on. To top it off, after we paid with cash and left a cash tip with one of the servers, another server actually ran after us as we were leaving to ask for a tip. Super disorganized and completely unprofessional. We won't be back. read more

We arrived on a beautiful Sunday and wanted to eat with a beautiful view. The restaurant has inside and outdoor sitting. We sat down and everything is horrible besides the waitresses personality!!!! Food: they got my son's (he has special needs) fries wrong and they didn't even bring it out until 20-30mins later. I asked for a well done and it was absolutely not well done. They didn't bring some of the food we ordered and they got our drinks wrong. Service: was horrible!!! Our table was filled with dirty plates and no one to come by to take them, check on us, or refill our drinks. I looked around and other people's tables were in the same situation. I did complain to the manager and she said "it's Easter weekend" so I replied back "I understand and in the future during busy weekends it's important to have a thought out plan and a back up plan" This restaurant has so much potential to grow but it's struggling....the manager was kind enough to understand my frustration and honored a few things off our check! I won't return read more
