26 Beach
26 Beach has been a cherished fixture in Marina del Rey since it first opened its doors in 1982. Founded by the Esposito family, who have deep roots in the Los Angeles restaurant scene, 26 Beach was created to offer a unique dining experience that combines a casual, laid-back atmosphere with an eclectic, globally inspired menu. Over the decades, the restaurant has grown from a humble neighborhood spot into a beloved institution, known for its creative comfort food, expansive brunch offerings, and welcoming vibe. The name “26 Beach” pays homage to the restaurant’s original location at the corner of Washington Boulevard and Pacific Avenue, just steps away from Venice Beach. This prime location near the iconic Venice Canals and the Pacific Ocean helped establish the restaurant as a go-to spot for locals and tourists alike, looking for a relaxed place to enjoy a delicious meal after a day at the beach. Although it later moved to its current location in Marina del Rey, the restaurant has maintained its beachy, bohemian charm that captures the spirit of coastal California living. The restaurant’s menu has evolved over the years, blending American comfort food with influences from Italian, Japanese, and Mediterranean cuisines. Signature…

Whiskey Red’s
Whisky Red’s, located in the scenic Fisherman’s Village of Marina del Rey, has long been a cherished destination for those seeking a waterfront dining experience that combines great food with stunning views. Originally opened as Shanghai Red’s in the early 1980s, the restaurant became an instant hit due to its prime location overlooking the marina, its vibrant atmosphere, and a menu that offered a variety of seafood-centric dishes and classic American favorites. In 2013, the restaurant underwent a significant transformation, reemerging as Whisky Red’s. The name change was more than just cosmetic; it marked a new chapter for the establishment, one that sought to honor the history of the beloved Shanghai Red’s while introducing a more contemporary gastropub-inspired concept. The “Whisky” in Whisky Red’s nods to the restaurant’s extensive whiskey and cocktail program, designed to complement its innovative menu and appeal to a broader, more diverse clientele. Their menu offers fresh, high-quality ingredients and bold flavors, featuring a mix of comfort food classics and innovative seafood dishes that highlight the best of coastal California cuisine. Here are some of the standout dishes that capture the essence of Whisky Red’s offerings. Favorite MarinaDelRey.com Dishes Firecracker Shrimp: A perfect combination of heat…

Cheesecake Factory
CheeseCake Factory’s menu has more than 250 dishes, made fresh from scratch, to order, every day. In the 1940s, Evelyn found a recipe in her local Detroit newspaper that inspired her “Original” cheesecake. Everyone loved her recipe so much she decided to open a small bakery, but eventually gave it up to focus on raising her children, David and Renee. She moved her baking equipment to her basement kitchen and continued to sell cakes to some of the best restaurants in town. In 1972, Evelyn Overton and her husband Oscar moved to Los Angeles to try one last time to have their own business. With the last of their savings, they opened The Cheesecake Factory Bakery and began selling Evelyn’s cheesecakes to restaurants throughout L.A. Their son David decided to open a restaurant in Beverly Hills in 1978 to showcase his mother’s cakes. Somehow, he just knew that a restaurant with an extensive dessert menu would be a hit. There was a line out the door on opening day. David then opened his second Cheesecake in Marina del Rey. More than forty years later, many say the line has never stopped!

Baja Cantina
For over 40 years Baja Cantina has been serving authentic Mexican food and drinks in Marina Del Rey Baja Cantina opened its doors in September 1975 in a building that was built in the 1940’s as apartments to house the men working on the oil wells in the area. The building was used as residences until the early 1960’s when it gradually became home to several little businesses. Baja Cantina was originally a hobby store & flower shop before it was transformed into the Mexican Restaurant that we all know & enjoy today. The early 90’s saw Baja expand, absorbing the old location of the Brown Bagger, a breakfast and lunch spot. Today we are happy to serve the Marina del Rey, Venice and nearby areas in Los Angeles, CA. We have spent decades making history here & look forward to spending decades more serving food & drinks with love!
