A warm and inviting waterfront seafood restaurant with plenty of heaters and a spacious and free parking lot (a welcomed break from pesky street meters). Water-facing windows along the covered, sit-down dining room invite bay views and a true oceanside patio feel. An attractive full bar for marina-adjacent snacking and sipping. Locally crafted beers, creative combinations, approachable and relaxed atmosphere with a focus on hospitality and locally sourced ingredients and an absolute commitment to quality.
Family-owned and operated, Marina Seafood delivers a dining experience where friends and families can indulge in a fresh menu that includes homemade pasta, incredible tempura fish and chips, creamy and savory clam chowder with real clams, alongside stunning waterfront views.
Marina Seafood Dockside Patio opened its doors in January 2024. Every table on the patio looks out over the boats of the Berkeley marina, where it’s not uncommon to see a seal pop its head out of the water. The new dining spot combines locally sourced seafood with breathtaking views, providing a perfect setting for casual diners and culinary enthusiasts. It even provides options for lovers of land food, like their amazing Dockside Burger and house cut kennebec fries served with a delicious gochujang aoili dipping sauce.
Perfect for Groups, Celebrations and Outings
Marina Seafood is a versatile space perfect for family outings, friendly gatherings and special occasions. It offers a variety of options like the crab seafood boil, PEI mussels lightly steamed with garlic and butter and KBBQ Surf and Turf to satisfy every palate. The venue is equipped to accommodate large groups, and its family-friendly approach includes a ‘minnows’ menu for children.
The full bar, featuring locally crafted beers and original cocktails, complements the vast array of dishes, making every meal a celebration.
Whether it’s for a casual lunch or a special dinner, its doors are open to provide a unique dining experience that combines the comfort of good food with the beauty of Berkeley’s waterfront. There’s plenty of free parking next to the restaurant, and the Marina trails offer possibilities for a waterfront walk before or after your meal.
Visit today and experience firsthand why Marina Seafood Dockside Patio continues to grow into a beloved staple in Berkeley’s dining community. Remember, right now it is only open on weekends (Fri-Sun) so plan your week for an unforgettable experience at the Berkeley waterfront.
