Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant and Pub

My friend and I ate here the last night of our vacation and absolutely loved it! We wish we had eaten there earlier- we would have eaten there every night. Kurt was our server and he was fantastic! He made great suggestions on the menu and gave us history on the amazing tree in the patio area. The food was delicious and fair portions. We shared a few sides and apps with drinks and dinner. 5 stars all the way around! The Mar Vista Tots and Risotto are highly recommended! My friend got the Snapper and loved it too. We will be back next vacation down there!Tips: *Sit outside on the patio, it has a really cool tree with string lights and a dockside view*Get the Tots & Risotto for sure, they have several delicious shareable sides in addition to those, all great*Drinks are really good. Get a Rum Runner!*Finish with a slice of Key Lime pie*Parking was valet, but there is street parking down the whole street

We dropped in for dinner after a long day at the beach with a large group for a bachelor party dinner. There's no reservations and you whole group has to present to be seated. We were quickly seated outside to enjoy the great weather.. Our waiter was friendly, courteous and responsive. We ordered lots of appetizers from the broccoli, mac and lobster, fish spread, oysters and more. Many entrees were tried from the salmon to the coippino. Everyone was pleased. I would definitely come back.

We sat out side under the trees by the water and that was wonderful ! But I would truly advise against having the brussel sprouts as they have way too much sauce on them and I got very sick after eating them.
