My wife and I did not feel like cooking, so we decided to get in the car and dine at the Marina. When we arrived at the security gate, the guard asked which restaurant we were going to visit. We weren't sure and said we...would decide when we looked at the menus. It wasn't until we offered a restaurant name that he let us pass. Not a good start!
On this evening three restaurants were open, we chose the Marina Grill. July in Manzanillo is slow for tourism, so we had choice of seating overlooking the boats in the marina.
We started with drinks and the asparagus appetizer; the asparagus was wrapped by a sheet of melted cheese, there also was a medley of cut bell peppers in a fruit compote.
My wife had grilled chicken accompanied with pasta and salad. I went for the grilled salmon with fresh vegetables and mashed potatoes. Portions of fish and meat were generous, the sides were the right size.
We shared the cheesecake with a couple of cappuccinos.
The food was very good, the surroundings superb, and the service was not rushed, but attentive. We had two waiters serving us and both spoke English.
Price for drinks, appetizer, main courses, dessert and cappuccinos was $730 pesos.
This is an excellent restaurant for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends. On previous occasions we have had the Caesar Salad for 2 and Spanish coffees. Both of these are prepared at the table.More
