The Marina serves FRESH seafood prepared in traditional seaport style that is all one can expect and more. We enjoy the Marina every time we visit Eureka and have never been disappointed. We have paid a lot more for a lot less. I would recommend The Marina to anyone visiting Eureka with a hunger for good seafood. more

The manager at my motel suggested the Cafe Marina, and handed me a 10%-off coupon, so I figured I'd give it a go since I'm not near fresh seafood all that often. My dinner was great--clam chowder, sourdough bread, and grilled snapper--and the price wasn't too bad. The service was not super-fast, but I enjoyed the sunset while I waited,... more

Somewhat bewildered by other reviews - they seem very lopsided - so I will add our enthusiastic bravo! We had a wonderful dining experience at the Cafe Marina, sitting on the outdoor patio, facing the Humboldt Bay marina on a beautiful sunny afternoon. Our service was excellent - helpful, speedy and professional. We started with Steamed Clams in a wonderful... more

The food was bland, boring, diner-style food but way to expensive for what you get. The only reason it got 2 stars is because the broiled oysters in caper butter was tasty. Honey Dijon dressing tasted of vinegar and mustard, not pleasant at all. The bread was warm but hacked into slices by what must have been a kindergartener. The... more

As we were in a seaside town, wanted to have fish & chips. Our hotel told us about the only reasonable place is Cafe Marina (one would think there would be more places serving fresh fish in Eureka). As you enter this restaurant you get the feeling that this is an unhappy establishment - no one smiles and you are... more

I read some of the previous entries with interest because I have eaten there dozens of times, so if they are going to mess up they have had plenty of opportunities to do so. They do not take reservations except for very large parties, which on a busy weekend night can lead to some dustups at the hostess level, where... more

I use to live in Eureka many years ago. It was known for wonderful seafood. In a trip through there in late Aug. '08, we were stunned at the lack of seafood restaurants. The only one recommended was Cafe Marina. We loved the location but food was a disappointment, barely average but service was so bad we didn't tip. Waiter... more

This place captures the charm and beauty of this coastal city. The fish is FRESH (meaning caught TODAY) and the service is old fashion excellent, warm, down to earth. This is a restaurant that has my 82 year old mom's glass of wine poured when we get her to the table, and our four year old's crayons and crackers waiting... more
