We ate here three of our evenings it was so good. Large menu, fresh fish and great service. Outside dining at the edge of the bay (limited view) is fabulous. more

Located on the bay side of the island. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the deck. The food was very good and not over priced. Service was proficient. We would definitely eat here again. more

The service was EXTRAORDINARY. Erica (I believe that was her name) from Indianapolis was sweet and very efficient. We were treated as friends - not customers. Both the quality and quantity of food was above average and the waterfront view was very romantic. Outdoors, you dine on the shore of the intercoastal waterway - no concrete patio, and under the... more

We needed somewhere interesting and casual for lunch and to fill some hours in LBK. Mar Vista fit the bill. Food was mediocre, so was the service. But you get to sit outside, see the water and the pier, and it is relaxing. Luckily we had time to kill! Less of a plastic tourist trip than I expected. I'd definitely... more

My wife and I were just there on Oct. 24. Our 28th anniversery. We were seated and waited. When another couple were seated and serviced before us, we got up and went next door and had a wonderful meal at Mores. I will never go to Mar-Vista again.............. more

We found this place from a recommendation by a friend who lives in the area, and I couldn't have been more pleased. We arrived in the evening, and were seated outside. You definitely want to sit outside here! I'm not a fan of seafood, so I got the chicken, which was DELICIOUS! Sampled the seafood platter, and loved the fried... more

Food tasted excellent! Great Crab cakes and seafood. The Trip Advisor says 10 to 20 dollars, maybe for lunch but most of the dinner entrees where over 20 dollars, but the three we had were all excellent. Crab cakes where loaded with crab and not much breading; Shrimp Scampi and Seafood Sampler were great also. Calamari for an appetizer was... more

I love the food and atmosphere, but the more I go back the worse the place smells. Cold beer, great seafood, and a fun crowd make this almost worth dealing with the smell. more

We usually arrive by boat here. The food is great, so is the service. So nice to be able to dock your boat and eat a wonderful meal outside. Have only been here for lunch. more
