Marina View Restaurant & TIKI BAR — Restaurant in City of New Rochelle

We attended a 75th birthday party for my Aunt on 5/13/2023. Our party was quite small, around (25). The service was very good and the staff was knowledgable regarding the menu. We started with Mozzarella Caprese and fresh, large Calamari that were simply deliciously prepared. The Calamari was accompanied with a fresh light marinara sauce that topped off the appeziter wonderfully. We then proceeded with a pasta dish served in a silky tomato, basil and pancetta sauce. The pasta was prepared al dente and was a nice sized portion. Finally, the entree! I had chose the Veal Saltimbocca, prepared in a fresh light lemon, butter and garlic sauce accompanied with fresh green beans and roasted potatoes. You did not even require a knife to cut the veal as a fork was all you required to enjoy this dish. Overall, I give the Marina View Restaurant and Tiki Bar four in a half stars. The service was very good, the Peroni and Stella's were ice cold and ambience was great. A wonderful spot to stop with the family for an enjoyable lunch or dinner. The location on the water can not be beaten as you can watch the boats cruise in and out of the marina while you enjoy time with your family and friends. I would defintely not pass this...

I've gone to this place over many years and numerous owners. I'm sad to say I won't be returning. I have NEVER felt more uncomfortable and unwelcome. My friend and I walked in on a sunny afternoon looking forward to dining on the deck. The bartender/ server not only refused to greet us but stood several seconds just staring at us. We were both dressed appropriately so it was odd. There was such tension that another patron tried to break the ice and greet us. We get to our 5able on deck and sit down only to discover the chairs were soaking wet. Puddles! We were told we should have looked for water before choosing to dine outside. Really? We each ordered a drink to start. My friend eventually had to go inside to get the drinks so we could serve ourselves. Never had the chance to eat because it was made abundantly clear our presence was a nuisance. By far the least pleasurable experience I've had in ANY restaurant. It's a shame because it's a local place I frequented for years. I suggest you steer clear until it changes...

Aptly named, the Marina View Restaurant overlooks, wait for it ... a marina! So that makes for some interesting boat watching while you dine :) My wife and I popped in recently for a mid-week lunch and we were not disappointed.

Our waitress, Chiara, was joyful and attentive and helped us with our choices. I started with the clam chowder, followed by the chicken parm over penne. My wife opted for the mussels and washed it down with a salad. Everything was yummy. My wife said that the mussels were the meatiest she's ever had. As for me, my chicken parm was the epitome of 'comfort food.' And by that, I mean it came covered with cheese and sauce and looked like something out of a Star Trek episode ... but it was delicious, and the leftovers came home for a second meal :)

One of the other reviews referred to the Marina View as a 'hidden treasure', and that's kinda true as it's off the beaten path. It's not on Main St. It's down by the water and worth the trip. Highly recommended. PS: We may go back for...
