Marina Grille is situated directly on the Belmar Marina. It faces westward, which lends itself to some truly breathtaking sunsets here at the Jersey Shore. If you’re looking for quintessential summer vibes (even in the off-season), this is the place to be.
I was inspired to write this particular blog by the warm, vernal weather we’re having. I’ve been daydreaming about sitting on the deck at Marina Grille with a cocktail in hand, watching the sun slowly sink behind the trees and homes in the distance. (Don’t forget your sunglasses!) It’s also fun to watch the boats coming and going, or the paddle boarders gliding on the water.
It’s a great place to go with a group for a fun night out; there is a fun drink menu and they often have live music on the weekends. Or it’s nice to go with just a friend/ significant other for a quiet dinner.
Speaking of the food… Some of my personal favorites are the crispy wonton chips and guac, the chicken tostados, or the Asian lettuce wraps to start. The cracked egg pizza is totally unique (and totally delicious). You can’t go wrong with their burger. Plus, seafood is always a good choice since you’re eating right on the water.

Marina Grille is open all year round, and, as my daughter informed me, it was featured on Bravo’s Real Housewives of New Jersey. If it’s good enough for the housewives, it’s good enough for me. (LOL!) If you haven’t already, give it a try. I’ll see you there, doing it THE SKEA WAY!
