Best Steakhouses in Marina

Everything was wonderful, the hostess, waiter, busser, all 10/10. Unfortunately the table next to us had two children on their iPhones on games with the volume 10/10. One of the staff asked the parents if the kids could lower the phone volume and the parents were obnoxious and said absolutely not! Many tables were complaining but the parents were absolute in their resolution to allow everyone else to be put out. Unfortunate. Everything and everyone was wonderful but many tables had their celebration tainted by one family.

We had a lovely annivarsary dinner. The menu included our names and noted our special day. And a waiter was very attentive on a very busy Christmas Eve.

The restaurant is very clean and neat. The entire staff is very friendly and welcoming. That includes everyone from the manager, greeters, servers and cleaners. The food is fresh and delicious. They have a good selection and the prices are reasonable.

We absolutely know we will be treated like royalty when we visit Old Fisherman’s Grotto. Once again they delivered. Sal made us feel like family. We started with calamari and artichokes with a nice drink from the bar. The calamari was crispy with the sauces adding a bit of excitement to each bite. The artichoke was creamy and rich. Bread and butter was served. We felt relaxed and never in a hurry. After the appetizer we put in the order for dinner, double lobster tails for him and 1/2 crab, salmon and grilled shrimp for me. We were both so happy with our meals. Dessert was the cherry on top, ollalieberry pie a la mode for him and and beautiful chocolate and vanilla cake with strawberries for me. Our water was constantly refilled. The view of the harbor was also very relaxing. I can’t wait until we are in town again to enjoy the hospitality once again.

Had a wonderful time at the Whaling Station Steakhouse while in the Monterey Bay area. The service was outstanding and dinner was excellent as well. Make sure to have the Caesar salad as it is prepared at your table.
