Lara's Fine Dining

First time there! The restaurant's facade, reminiscent of a lighthouse, rigth in front of the marina, immediately catches the eye. Inside, the ambiance is casual yet charming, with a seaside European vibe. The tables are elegantly draped in white tablecloths, and the staff are exceptionally attentive, friendly, and accommodating. We started cocktails in the bar area, separated by a staircase in a different room. It is equipped with a TV and lively locals were having drinks, but there are quieter tables around and we sat in one to have a few tasty cocktails before dinner. We has the seafood stew with pasta and the scallop dish. Both were incredibly fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The highlight of our meal was listening to live piano tunes while sering people get up to dance along with having the waiter bring up an old-school dessert cart. Of course we went for it! By the way, their carrot cake and chocolate mousse...divine! We will return on a special ocasion.

Over all loved it, me and my mother-in-law spent like 2 hours there and had coffee and lunch, very cute diner on the marina, it had a very cozy feeling to it, it wasn't busy when we went and got seating right away! They have lots of food options and a great happy hour!! The server checked on us several times and made sure we were taken care of!

I have eaten here 3 times. The first time was amazing, excellent service and food quality. The second time was on Christmas, the service was bad and the food was worse but I let it go because I know it can be hard during the holidays. But today was just a regular Tuesday. I’m not a super formal person, but the waiters had no manners. We had to ask for every single thing besides bread. The timing on bringing out everything was also terrible. There was no checking in at our table. We arrived at 6:45 and left at 9:00 because of all of the waiting! There was cleaning up going on all around us and it was just unsettling, you could tell they wanted to go home but they wouldn’t wait on us so it was very confusing. To top it off: I was sat where I can see directly into the kitchen and saw them pour my mini steak sauce dish as well as many others, into ONE BIG PLASTIC BOTTLE TO REUSE. BEWARE WHEN YOU ASK FOR STEAK SAUCE OTHER PEOLE HAVE DIPPED INTO IT. I immediately felt sick. When does all of that mixed sauce expired? I never leave without tipping but this experience truly did not deserve one. It’s a shame to lose such a cute little restaurant but I unfortunately will not be returning.

This was our second time at Laura's Fine Dining. The views of the marina from the dining room, make the meal that much more enjoyable. We had calamari, clam chowder, prime rib, which was a special, and spaghetti with meatballs. Everything was delicious. Bread came with our service, unfortunately it was extremely burnt, and you could see where they tried to scrape the burnt parts off the loaf.

I came here on a Saturday evening around 5pm. We were seated immediately with a window view. To start we got crab cakes. It was so delicious, and sadly you only get two 😔. I highly recommend this appetizer. For entrees, I got a lobster & shrimp risotto dish. The whole dish lacked flavor and I don't recommend this dish at all. My boyfriend got a bacon wrapped filet migon. It was very good! Even the vegetables were delicious. To end dinner, we shared a caramel cheesecake. This was divine! As for the service, I wasn't really impressed. The server wasn't attentive and we waited a long time just to get the check. The rest of the staff was very friendly. There was live music and it was an overall beautiful ambiance. I would definitely come back to try this place again.

I went here with a reservation and was greeted and seated immediately. It was a very nice atmosphere, and the location looks like it was a large home built in the early 1900s. The food was decent but was nothing special. The prices are reasonable and in line with what you expect. My issue was with the service. We didn’t have a waiter, instead the bartender was the waiter (we weren’t seated at the bar). He was nice but it took too long to receive attention when we were ready to order, ready to get desert, ready to pay, and didn’t check in with us at all once. That was unfortunate, and I don’t blame him, but it soured our dining experience. The desert cart was really cute. I wouldn’t go there again by choice, unfortunately.

We came here after a ferry ride from SF to celebrate a birthday. The portion sizes were great and the shrimps were huge! The view of the water from our table also was an icing on the cake. Service was a bit slow in the beginning, but that improved. I asked the waiter about gluten free options, and requested he check with the chef to confirm. I was only considering seafood, so the Scampi and Salmon were my options. The oysters were fresh, and the flavors were good for our dishes. One person did not like the homemade ravioli (not pictured) but everyone else liked their dishes. Overall, a great place for seaside food and after, a relaxing walk around the Bay!
