Sinder - Marina del Rey

We recently stayed at the Marriott in which the Sinder is located and enjoyed evening drinks/snacks/dinner a few times. While the atmosphere is nice and the bartenders and servers quite friendly menu is hit or miss. For us the hits were the guacamole and pico de gallo, dry spiced wings, and mushroom flatbread. All were quite tasty and well worth the price of admission. The garden salad was just OK as was the prosciutto flatbread. But the ceviche was abysmal. Also, we noticed that the mixed drinks and mocktails that we ordered directly from the bartender (while sitting at the bar) were better than those ordered through the waitstaff. I don 't know if he cared more (or was just less busy), but saying we wanted our cocktails/mocktails 'not too sweet ' to him resulted in nicely balanced drinks but when we gave the same admonition to our servers they came back cloyingly sweet. As I wrote, the atmosphere is nice. We were there in unseasonably cold weather so we didn 't try the outside seating but there looked to be a nice fire feature. And the service from both the bartender and the waitstaff was quite good.

Gary thank you for your kind attitude and heart warming smile, with that your smile our food tasted even more tasty.

I had a wonderful stay with my friend in here! I am obsessed with the chocolate cake in the dessert menu, the sweetness and the taste of chocolate is perfect! And just want to shoutout to one of the staff in the lounge, Annay. She was really friendly and mixed a really tasteful signature alcohol drink to match with the dessert that perfectly suits me. : I will definitely come back to this lounge!
