Marilena Cafe & Raw Bar

My partner and I had the best time here. We stopped by for a quick dinner before catching our ferry, and the team was so accommodating. They made sure we could enjoy our meal and still make it to the ferry on time. The food was delicious, and the service was amazing. We felt so relaxed and well taken care of throughout our meal. The chef was especially thoughtful in splitting one of our dishes onto two plates, making it easier for us to enjoy rather than having to share one. Our server also…

We came for our anniversary dinner and was blown away by the amazing food and service. The restaurant is very large and has a lot of different places to sit, but we opted for the dining room. It was busy and a bit noisy but we were totally fine with that. We shared 3 different appies and a main and they were very thoughtful by splitting it into separate dishes for us. Our waitress was very familiar with menu and the extensive wine list and recommend the perfect sparkling wine. All of our food…

Another solid restaurant from the TopTable Group! The service was impeccable from the moment I stepped into the restaurant.

Every dish we ordered was amazing, the flavours carrying so much depth with incredible umami. They’ve got an extensive wine…

I had an incredible evening here last night. My partner and I enjoyed scallops and pork belly to start (highly recommend the pork belly- one of the best bites of the night), especially with the housemade bread and butter provided (GF was available for me). We then had the tenderloin and halibut. Both delicious, unctuous jus with the beef, melts in the mouth fish with a super light broth. Finished with the lemon creme brulee - imagine a lemon meringue pie with a layer of crispy sugar in the…

Marlena is an exceptional experience. Plating is excellent. And when you order wine the person managing their extensive wine stocks brings it to your table. The service people are also excellent. I don't think you can go wrong with the food. There was a cold menu and a hot menu. There were three of us and we were placed at a large table so there was never clutter or a feeling of lack of space on the table. We were at a booth, which we very much prefer, so the experience was just as we…
