Great restaurant at the waterfront which offers great sea food. The service was excellent including the pickup from our hotel. After eating we got a guided tour to the ruins close by.

We came the day the Chef had decided to go wild with salt. I had a grilled lobster which looked big and delicious. Unfortunately it was so salty that I had difficulty in... More

The place was more fancy than I was expecting, but it wasn't so formal that you felt uncomfortable. The setting is right on the water where locals launch their boats from and the place is lit beautifully during the evenings.

It is some time since I last visited La Marina. I stopped going some time ago as I found the place rather pretentious. We went there last Sunday and I was pleasantly surprised as there is now much more of a laid back atmosphere. The views make it a superbly relaxing spot - particularly as the sun was going down....

The ambiance here is lovely and so is the lobster Xavier! Just melts in your mouth. The home made complimentary bread is also very nice. Veg options are plenty

This restaurant has a beautiful and cosy atmosphere as it is located right by the waterfront. And the food is good, especially the seafood. But the absolute highscore goes to the staff and the extraordinary service. You are very well taken care of, and the staff is friendly and very professional. We can highly recommend a visit!

Food was great... Being a vegetarian I had ordered a pizza n it was awesome... Also the sweet wine was full flavoured too :) Atmosphere is amazing... Just the drive is quite longg from the main road past the mtwapa bridge which could be abit dangerous at night maybe... Otherwise a great eat out!
