Harbor Views, Rave Reviews: Marina Cafe in the NY Post

We were beyond thrilled to see Marina Cafe featured in a recent spread in a major New York newspaper! Our team was buzzing with pride as we saw our beloved waterfront restaurant showcased with glowing photos, rave reviews, and heartfelt guest feedback.

As the article’s writer, Gail Gerson, noted: “The Marina Café equals panache, informal sophistication, splendid appointments, and multi-tiered decking.” That quote alone perfectly captured what we strive to offer every day — a polished yet relaxed dining experience right on the scenic Great Kills Harbor.

After over 40 years of serving Staten Island, being featured in such a widely read publication feels like a true celebration of our story, our staff, and especially, our loyal guests.

Praise from Every Table

The article didn’t just highlight the beautiful ambiance — it spotlighted the dishes you love most. Readers raved about our signature seafood offerings, with one guest calling out the “REMARKABLE SEAFOOD TOWER with LARGE & LUXURIOUS SHRIMP, IMPRESSIVE LOBSTER, DAZZLING OYSTERS & DELECTABLE CLAMS.”

Other fan favorites included the Black Angus Ribeye, the Chateaubriand for Four, and the indulgent Espresso Mousse with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream for dessert. It was a joy to see so many customer favorites shared with the city!

What really stood out was how much diners appreciated our overall vibe. Gerson wrote: “The atmosphere, rooms overlooking the yachts, kids so happy by the docks.” That quote reminds us why we love what we do — creating memorable moments for families, couples, and friends alike.

The Marina Magic Continues

We’re more inspired than ever to keep delivering the Marina Cafe experience you know and love — whether it’s happy hour at the indoor bar, tiki drinks by the water in warmer months, or unforgettable catering events with a harbor view.

As Gerson beautifully summed up: “They beguile the palate as well as the eye.”

We’re honored by this feature, humbled by your continued support, and excited for what’s ahead. Thank you for being part of the Marina Cafe family, Staten Island — let’s keep making waves together.
