The Dish: New Restaurants Opening in Marina del Rey, Updates & More

August 28, 2020

Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, September brings a bit of cheer with new restaurants opening soon in Marina del Rey. In addition, the seaside enclave enters the fall season with new dining spaces, reopened outdoor patios and restaurants with new takeout or delivery options. The expanded culinary offerings in L.A’.s Marina will surely delight visitors and locals alike. 

Per the current health order, facial coverings are required when visiting local businesses. Due to the limited capacity at restaurants per the reopening guidelines, we highly recommend making reservations in advance. There are fewer tables and seats available in order to keep diners properly social distanced.
