We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Jacob and the event team for making our day so special. We celebrated our wedding on cockatoo island and Jacob and the team here were amazing. After a over extended engagement and having a change of event planners midway through Jacob really made it so easy and stress free. We moved our dates and decided to organise it within 2months. He was really understanding and quick at responding, answered any questions and was so helpful with the whole process even if it was just listening to me ramble on trying to figure out what I wanted. They organised our whole wedding from the ceremony to the reception. They we’re really accomodating to our requests. Due to covid we changed from a 80+ guests list to a small intimate occasion with 30 guests. He was so helpful and took all the stress off me. On the day he was there early and they pretty much set the whole reception and ceremony up for us. They took all our visions and made it more than special. Also get the grazing table. I don’t think I’ve ever had so many compliments on something before. Everyone was talking about it the next day lol Jacob we just really want to thank you for everything. We had so many compliments on our wedding and it is thanks to you. It felt like we had a friend running it and that our vision was as important to you as it was to us. I seriously can’t express enough how much we appreciated you. Thank you to Chloe for being our driver and to everyone else for all our work into making it our special day. Your service on the night was great and our guests all really enjoyed themselves. We would highly recommend marina bar and cafe for your next event and highly recommend doing your wedding on cockatoo island. It was such a beautiful day and our photos look amazing with that unbeatable view

Excellent location with water views. Great to spend a chilled morning/afternoon enjoying food by the water. We ordered pizza because when we arrived at 2:30pm, they were going to close soon and pizza was the only option available. Our pizza's which were quickly brought to the table. Note that the pizza base is pre-made but had generous toppings. The staff was nice and courteous and allowed us to continue to eat while they started the process of closing down. Multiple options of seating available and there are games to keep kids occupied. Wish it was open longer into the afternoon and evening, so that people can actually enjoy the place/view longer.

While a great place to sit and relax, the food is absolutely vile. The nuggets and chips looked and tasted like they had been recooked several times, while the nachos were burnt on one side and uncooked on the other (and were missing the beans promised on the menu). The salsa also tasted off, the sour cream was clumpy and the “guac” was the squeezey, watery kind from a packet. We also ordered a wrap that came about 15 mins before the rest of our food (but was fairly decent). All up over 50 bucks and worth about 15. Take a packed lunch and save your money for a bottle of wine. 🤣 Response to owner: While I thank you for acknowledging the fact my “famous” (did you mean to write infamous?) nachos came sans beans, I have to admit I was relieved as the last thing food related diarrhoea needs is added fibre. Additionally - I’ve noticed quite a few passive aggressive replies to negative feedback re: your food, instead of acknowledgment and improvement. I’ve even noticed a trend of you actively encouraging people to bring picnics. Therefore, the only logical conclusion I can come to is that Yogi Bear has hacked the actual Cafe’s account and is using this as a platform to procure snacks.

This is a beautifully located café with a great atmosphere! They had two big orders going on, so I had to wait for a while but that wasn't a problem at all. The staff was super nice and apologised multiple times. The food would have been 5 stars (fish&chips) if there wouldn't have been so much salt on the chips. It was just too much, not even a sip of water after every bite was enough. Otherwise it was a great experience though! Tipp: be careful with your food; the seagulls and pigeons are cheeky 😂. A few weeks later, I can confirm my review; the pesto sandwich (2 pieces = large portion) tasted great, so did the cappuccino for my mum.

We got a call back from Marina Cafe on the 17th of January at 2.44pm and we confirmed a booking for 2 people for today(26th of Jan). Today we arrived on the island with NO food and we got turned away from the Cafe at 3.30 when our booking was meant to be!! This is totally unacceptable as we then found out there was no food to be got on the island and we are staying over night. You clearly need to speak to staff and explain the opening hours so they don't take a booking especially when people might rely on this for a source of food while camping

We pre-booked for a group lunch of about 20 personnel. The manager had promised to have a Chef on the day but that didn't eventuate. We got there on time and were greeted by a cheerful staff who quickly got use settled. The non-Chef menu was quite satisfying and has various options. There was also good selection of alcohol. The Red I had was pretty awesome. The staff were extremely courteous and friendly. Food was of good quality and wasn't as expensive as one might think.
