Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Marina del Rey

This place is very nostalgic for my family, since we have been eating here for decades. The food was quite good and the ambiance great. We will certainly come back again!

The experience was amazing. Starting with Juliana’s recommendations for the special options of the day, Steak Tacos and Burguer. Tacos was incredible, tortillas velvety and tasty, meat soft. Burguer exquisite, jam outstanding.

In an area where finding a really good restaurant can be a sketchy proposition, Belles was a solid option. The location near Venice Beach is good, but obviously touristy. But the Tiki Bar vibe was totally awesome!! Great ambience and the food was very solid as well. We shared 2 apps and split a dinner and everything was delicious. Service could have been a little peppier, but hey, you're in CALI. We got a couple of Tiki cocktails which were awesome, and priced where you'd expect for a top notch Tiki Bar. One thing I'd warn anyone about are the wine pours. We got 3 glasses of wine priced at $17, and they were easily 1/2 of a standard wine glass pour. The glasses were small and the pours were even smaller. I regretted that we didn't send the small pours back (which I can honestly say I've never done) and requested a different drink. If you go the wine route, invest in a bottle. Bottle prices were high for the varietals available, but a much better value than the "by the glass" pours and pricing, which were basically (and I'm not going to pull any punches here) a complete rip off. As my wife said, "that wasn't a pour, it was more like 3 sips!"

Like always top notch. We with my cousin and her best friend from visiting from Canada and I asked for a table by the balcony and they were able to accommodate us perfectly. We had a great time and enjoyed the fantastic view. You can’t go wrong with Élephante. Outstanding!

The food was delicious. I had a cheeseburger and my friend had the lobster bisque. We stayed inside since it was chilly outside. It was also chilly in the restaurant as well. Service was great!
