We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Marina del Rey. We went to the connected restaurant for breakfast - which we thought was free bc basically it is the same breakfast that you get for free at a Hampton Inn. To our surprise we...were then presented with a bill for $20 per person for the breakfastMore

I spent 4 nights at the HIlton in Marina del Rey. My experience with the restaurant was generally bad. For breakfast they have those same few items every day: scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages and toasts with jelly or peanut butter. Try find something healthy, that...won't give you a heart attack in few years - impossible. To complete the experience everything i served on paper plates with plastic cutlery. When it comes to dinner time, they seem to have some curse over them: of four night I spent there one I couldn't eat there at all, because their (apparently one and only) cook called in sick, and the other time they had power outage, which meant I needed to come back later to settle my bill. The food their serve for dinner is really fast food: steak sandwich, burger, fish and chips, quessadilla, that's pretty much all there is to choose from. Since there's only one cook and one person who both waits the tables and tends the bar, the wait times are pretty long (because, despite all the flaws, a lot of hotel guests visit it out of convenience). I recommend avoiding this place at all cost. For breakfast I can recommend "Noah's Bagels" cafe nearby at Washington Boulevard. For dinner you can try Beachside (just across the street), although some might find it pretty expensive, or a walk towards a Venice Beach, where there are many restaurants to choose from.More

Had breakfast while staying at the hotel. For 3 of the 4 mornings we were there they had no bacon because it hadn’t been delivered, really? To call it a buffet is a wild exaggeration. The food is served in styrofoam containers with plastic utensils,...not very inviting or environmentally friendly. For 15$ a head we expected so much more. The only thing that was nice was the staff. Breakfast at Dennys is about the same price but so much better.More

Jordan at the Marina Grill and Bar (Bartender) was great. He was knowledgeable about the wine and showed excellent time management. From what I could see, everyone's glass was full, food came out timely and he greeted everyone pleasantly. I will return for drinks again!...-HollisMore

I have never been disappointed with the happy hour at the Marina grill and bar. Jordan, the bartender, is excellent. Great sense of humor, and invents amazing drinks!

We had dinner here while staying at the Hilton Marina del Rey. I had the Burger while my wife had a Caesars Salad and Fries. Both dishes were solid yet nothing spectacular. They had quite a selection of local and international beers. Atmosphere is a...bit hotel lobby like – it’s a lot of business guests eating soloMore

I needed to check out on Sunday and I am glad that they were open as early as 6:00 AM. The hotel bill has a daily $50.00 built-in retainer fee that is tied to your room number as a convenience. If you decide to eat...at the hotel restaurant, you have the option of adding the price of the meal to final bill. Positive points: Service staff very courteous. The restaurant was open earlier than other nearby eateries. They had omelettes by request as well as a breakfast buffet set up. Big screen televisions were available and on at the far side of the restaurant.More

The rating is mostly based on the staff. They seemed very helpful for a breakfast buffet. I get free breakfast coupons and use the buffet. The buffet itself is a basic breakfast buffet, but the food was well prepared and warm. You can order omelettes...and fried eggs as well.More

It is located in the Hilton Garden Inn which I stayed at. The food was very good and it has a full bar. You can eat outdoors if you like. Very good service and friendly staff.

This place is part of the Hilton Garden Inn. We stopped in for breakfast and parked for free in hotel garage. There’s an attractive buffet, but we decided to order off the menu. I had huevos rancheros and my wife had smoked salmon with a...side of fruit, both of which were very good. Service was excellent, and the best part was the lack of any annoying background music.More

This restaurant is part of the Hilton Gardens hotel. Located right on Admiralty Way with lots of underground parking. There is a nice bar area with the usual tv screens and happy hour from 4-7pm. The restaurant is small, but very well designed and relaxing....The server was very attentive. The menu and wine list are very limited, but they do have appetizers, soups, salads, entrees and burgers. The steak dinner I had was prepared to my liking and the mashed potatoes were delicious. My dates burger was not very tasty and they left out the avocados. The dinner with drinks was around $50. Not too bad, but there really wasn't anything special about the location, ambiance or menu. This would be a good place to go for a quiet meal or to relax in a bar as there were not many people there. Reservations not required or needed.More

Great Breakfast buffet! Made to order omelets, and CRISPY BACON! The coffee is rich and smooth! Heaven! But the best is the staff, Rita and Spencer - quick, friendly, and professional. Their attention to detail is outstanding, and their courtesy and attentiveness to their patrons...is impressive. I find myself looking forward to breakfast here whenever I stay at the Hilton Garden Inn!More

We walked over here for breakfast and it was a mixed bag. My salmon plate was excellent and plentiful. My wife's omelet was rubbery. Her tea was great; my coffee wasn't. Our waitress was very good.

I often stay at the nearby Marriott and have tried every restaurant within walking distance. I don't normally frequent restaurants in hotel lobbies, but I decided to give Marina Grill a try. It's in the lobby of Hilton garden hotel, but from the outside looks...appealing. I was pleasantly surprised with food quality and the service. The menu has a nice variety of dishes and the wine and beer menu also offers a nice selection of beverages. I started with the tuna poke which was delicious. My entree was the hangar steak which was cooked rare to my preference and was more like a slab of steak, thicker than most hangar steaks. The service was also very professional and courteous, with dishes paced perfectly and the food served very hot. I think it's important the dishes are delivered when you are ready and not when the kitchen pushes the food out. I always prefer my food hot instead of lukewarm or cold as I have often experienced. So don't assume the worst since it's associated with a hotel, much better than expected and compared to the local restaurants nearby including the Marriott hotel restaurant.More
