On Sunday my Girls and I had our 5th annual Sister's brunch at Violette's and it was fantastic…read more The decor and ambiance is cozy and warm (or cool based on the time of year). There is the main dinning room, as well as three additional private rooms for different sized parties. Service was great, the hostess and our server Matt were so warm and professional, Matt answered all of our questions and gave excellent service. The food and cocktails were delicious. I had the Chicken and waffles, served hot and the chicken had a nice crunch, I also had to have the Sally's French toast with Unicorn sugar, yes, I said Unicorn sugar! My drink was coconut caramel latte from the adult iced coffees menu. So delicious. One friend had the shrimp and avocado toast, she said it was great, her cocktail was Pineapple Mango Mojito Mocktail. Another friend had the cherry peach waffle and the Drops of Jupiter, that cocktail had Galaxy dust! Yup galaxy dust. Check out the photos.

I notice that a few people had their laptops and were working, while enjoying some hookah. We were seated right away, and our server was very sweet and friendly. She recommended I try the grill chicken wrap, since it was pretty popular. I also ordered the housemade sangria. It was sweet and tasty, but the wrap was very dry and extremely bland. In the description, it says the chicken is marinated in a chefs blend of unique seasonings and herbs but I didn't taste any ounce of seasoning. My taste buds were so bored and underwhelmed. I believe it was accompanied by a tzatziki sauce, which I had to pour all over to achieve some type of flavor. It was so disappointing and I had to ditch the 2nd half of it. The fries were good but nothing to run back for. The hookah was just okay. We ordered a premium flavor, but there was nothing premium about it. At times, it got very harsh and tasted very ashy. They are very attentive though and come around often to ensure the coal is still active and the hookah is pulling properly.

This is easily the most expensive hookah lounge I've been to in nyc and it doesn't make sense. They include a tip in the bill and then expect or create problems for people who don't tip additional money on top of the automated tip. It's inexcusable and shouldn't be a thing.

We've been to Marina Café so many times, and I realized I've never actually written a review!…read more We went for dinner with a group of 10 and had a reservation for 6:30. We sat inside with a beautiful view of the water. The vibe is quiet, waterfront and a little upscale, although with three kids, I'm pretty sure we were the ambiance that night . Our servers have known us for years and the service was great as always. We ordered approximately 7,000 appetizers lol. The rice balls are a MUST. They're small, crispy, served with honey and one of our favorites. Honestly, order your own because you're not going to want to share. The crispy rice with tuna was also outstanding--fresh tuna piled on top of perfectly crispy rice. We also had baked clams, flatbread, a summer salad and house salad, and everything was fresh and good. For my entrée, I got the zuppa di pesce with the spice held. The seafood was fresh without tasting fishy at all, and the tomato-garlic broth was delicious. The portion was HUGE. I'd absolutely order it again, but next time I'm sharing it with someone... especially after my 7,000 appetizers. Around the table, everyone was happy. The blackened mahi-mahi with coconut rice was delicious, the veal chop special was so tender my dad practically licked the plate clean, the penne vodka with shrimp was excellent, and the braised short ribs with mashed potatoes were a hit too. Even the kids were covered with chicken tenders, fries and buttered pasta. We finished with crème brûlée, chocolate and vanilla ice cream, lemon sorbet and raspberry sorbet. No complaints anywhere! It's definitely on the pricier side, but the waterfront view, consistently good food and wonderful service are why we've been coming here for years.

This is the second bad experience I had at Marina Cafe. May 2026 my wife and I celebrated our…read moreanniversary. They sat us next to a 20 top. Loud and noisey. The food was good but said we would give it another chance. Today we were celebrating my daughters birthday. Poor service, food lukewarm and cold, over crowded with large parties surrounding our table. They forgot the ricotta salada on the Rigatoni Vincenzo dish and there were NO cherry peppers on my pork chop. Again loud, no attention to our needs. One hour between apps and entree. (Asked three times for a glass of wine). Waitstaff breaking down & setting up large tables right next to us during our dinner. We skipped dessert and coffee. Had it at home to avoid another hour wait. We are NOT going back. BTW the waiter Kevin or the Maitre'd never stopped by our table to see if everything was ok. I think they could do better.
