The world famous Warehouse Restaurant, serving the Famous & Famished for over 40 years, can accommodate small parties to larger parties of up to 350 in our tropical Polynesian themed restaurant. Located waterside in Marina del Rey, enjoy a beautiful view of the marina and wonderful California sunsets.
"We went for Mother's Day and made reservations for 12:30pm. We got there at around 12:20pm and checked in with the hostess. We were sat at our table at 1:45pm... It was a mess. Unorganized, people pushing, overeating mess... Food was OK but nothing stood out. Next time we'll pick something a little less commercial."

"Mother's Day was chaotic at best. Even with a reservation you had to wait an additional 30 minutes to be seated. The Warehouse clearly needs to create a better method of seating people because it was an out of control scene to include arguments at the front desk. Not the atmosphere I wanted my mother to see upon going to the brunch I reserved."

"Perhaps Mother's Day is the wrong time to visit a new restaurant. The food was good, but nothing special. The variety of food was excellent. The place was packed and hard to get around in, and the noise level was terrible. Good view of the water. Service was polite and friendly, but since it was a required brunch, there was not much for the server to do. Overall, the experience was OK. A visit on a weekday or when there is no special occasion might be justified before reaching a final opinion."

"This was the absolute worst dining experience ive ever had. I made reservations two weeks in advance for a mothers day dinner at 5 pm, I arrived with my mom and had to wait about two hours at the bar which also took about five mins to get a drink from the bartender who was standing right in front of us.Great positive and friendly vibes coming from the staff there, even though they totally screwed up both of our orders. I actually sent my food back and my mom got hers to go, I didnt feel hungry anymore after waiting a few hours and having cocktails haha. I would'nt go back here again or maybe just not on Mothers Day!"

"I really enjoyed my dining experience. Brought my mom and grandma here for Mother's Day. A bit crowded but its to be expected. Made reservations and still had a waiting time of 50 minutes, that's the only negative thing I have to say. Overall I had a good experience."

"Eclectic atmosphere with a great back patio overlooking the marina. The food was so-so and the service was average. A little live band action rounded out a decent experience."

"the only problem was even though we had a reservation we were seated for a while with the regular crowed and did not see others being seated before us. If they had a reservation I did not know. Once seated we where given a table way, way in the back actually last table in corner. We ordered our drinks and then asked to speak to host I explained that we would like to have our table switched as table next to us was playing music on phone. They said they would have to have us wait in lobby again for table if we wanted to be moved. There was no table available so I said we would rather wait at table for next table. they did not budge if we wanted another table we would have to go to waiting pool."

"The Warehouse has been a staple of the marina for decades, and in many respects it shows its age. Once "the" date night hotspot of the 1980s, inside it is merely another themed restaurant competing in today's market. Outside is another story, however, as the dining deck still commands one of the best waterside views in Southern California. That said, the staff, while attentive, didn't seem all that interested in their menu choices and made no attempt to point out anything exciting even when queried. In fact, most appeared overly bored. The most enthusiastic member was the parking attendant, and no wonder --- he's employed by a third-party company."

"Our expedrience at the Warehouse was very romantic. We both had Salmon and garlic potatoes and a glass of wine to toast the evening with. I made online reservations for the two of us to celebrate a birthday. While we were enjoying each other's company and the diner we were asked did we want our picture taken and we stated yes. After the young lady took our pictures I informed her it was my honey's birthday she put happy birthday on the bottom of the picture. That made the night extra special for him. The food was extremely delicious, there was also a young lady selling roses, although it was his birthday he bought me a rose. How sweet!"

"The view here of the Marina is the best in the area. even better than the Ritz as the patio is almost on the deck of the marina. The heating lamps provide adequate warmth. The food is good but would shy away from the pasts dishes and choose seaafood or steak instead. The house slad is as good as it gets. The live entertainment makes it lively if you choose to sit in thebar area. a GREAT place to take guests when they are in town."

"We had reservations but still had to wait at least 1/2 hour to get a booth, otherwise, we would had been seated on a banquet table which was right next to other banquet tables. Much too close together. The food was just ok. We have been there several times for different holidays but I think we will have to look for someplace else next Easter. We were just not impressed this time. I will say that the guy who was working at our table was very nice and right there when we needed something.
I would probably recommend the Warehouse if you're going for dinner or something, but not for holiday crowds..."

"I love the relaxed feel of this place - romantic, low lighting and cozy - like your in a world of your own. The view is beautiful no matter where you sit. I would definitely return. The Crab Cakes where amazing as a starter and the Bread Rolls were served nice and hot. Their Filet Mignon's were cooked to perfection and their Crab Legs were perfect. Service was FANTASTIC and FRIENDLY. Cocktails were very affordable. Great place for Special Occasions or just for a Nice dinner out. Will definitely be coming back."

"First time I went to The Warehouse was about 29 years ago. While the charming decor and beautiful views remain, the food, service and attention to detail are long gone. Sad to say it . . . I will not be back."

"It is difficult to be brief. This was an amazing experience in "wining and dining". Impressive Wine List - Awesome appetizers - Incredibly prepared meal with excellent presentation. Attentive server and a very relaxing atmosphere. Would highly recommend the Warehouse to for a Romantic evening with someone special. A very pleasant change of attitude and soothing atmosphere. Our compliments to the Chef. A Royal experience. We will return."

"By far the most unpleasant service experience of my life. Our server served us our bottle of wine, then proceeded to ignore us for thirty minutes, which the whole time we were trying to move from the "heated" patio to the inside, it was so frustrating that I politely went and asked the host to move us inside (on my to the host I see the same server sitting in one of the corner booths talking to another employee). We wait another 20 minutes, and then I ask the manager in private to have someone else serve us. He said he would. Which prompted this pregnant female server to come near our table and tell another co-worker "that someone was gonna get cut!" Really"

"There was relaxed feel of this place with great views of the marina. Nice for romantic or family dinning. Prime rib was good, as well as the cream of mushroom soup and the salads. I wouldn't order the fish again, tasted ok at best and the chef did nothing special for the price. I always look forward to the bread basket on the table, and was let down as it tasted like it was frozen, thawed then served. Service was well-timed and friendly. I would go back for the great views, a drink, possibly an appetizer."

"Our waiter was very nice...but they didn't have the wine on their menu that we first ordered. And then they didn't have the fish either. It was only 7:30pm on a Wednesday...they probably shouldn't be running out of things that early. But what we finally ate (a prime rib and a different fish) were tasty and plentiful."

"The food is devine. We had the short ribs, the filet mignon and chicken and each dish was fantastic. The desserts were equally as amazing. This is one of the very best in the area! We will definitely return."

"We had our 1st anniversary here, this was our 40th. We had to wait quite some time for our food for a night that was not crowded. The Malaysian Prawns were delicious but the prime rib was a bit fatty. Our waiter was quite friendly."

"This is a great restaurant. I was staying at the Ritz (down the street), and after reading terrible reviews at the restaurant in the hotel, I decided to find something good and close.
This is a nice walk from the Ritz, and the food is delicious. I order the Ciopinno, and I LOVED IT! There weren't many tomatoes in there, and the pasta was off to the side.
The service was great. Everyone was friendly.
I thought it was a bit strange they had people walking around trying to sell roses and snap pictures. This isn't a public area. I wish the restaurant would not let these people disturb my dinner and leave us alone."
