10. Blaze Pizza
Reviewed By Go2theZoo
Blaze Pizza is a unique experience. You are able to build your own pizza, choosing from a wide variety of sauces, cheese and toppings. It's fun for a family who might not have the same taste in pizza. They also have flavored waters and lemonades, which are delicious. My only issue with this location is that they were a little slow and the music was very loud.
9. The General Sports Bar
We are a sports bar in the heart of the Dunes Shopping Center Marina, located inside Dametra Fresh Mediterranean. We have a full bar and 12 beers on tap. Happy Hour Specials as well as daily specials available.

The General Sports Bar is quite unique with all the Fort Ord memorabilia. They have a bar menu plus you can order from Dametra's. Friendly and fun.
8. Menchie's Frozen Yogurt
Reviewed By Frances P
The new Menchie's Frozen Yogurt at the Marina Dunes serves twelve flavors daily and four to five of those flavors are "no sugar added." Other frozen yogurt shops only offer one or two no sugar added flavors. Dark Chocolate Bar, Iced Coffee, Strawberry, Grasshopper (Mint), Orange Vanilla, Angel Food Cake, and Vanilla are some of the delicious flavors served. Great tasting and half the sugar and fat content of regular frozen yogurt, these flavors are wonderful alternatives. Toppings include candies, fresh fruit, granola, nuts, brownie and cookie bits, sauces and syrups. There is also fat-free and sugar-free chocolate syrup and freshly made waffle cones. The staff is extremely friendly and courteous. Located in the Marina Dunes Shopping Center, it is a great place to treat yourself after shopping and/or movie.

For more than 65 years Denny's has been bringing people together over great food. It's the place where people can relax and be themselves; where they can enjoy classic American comfort food and everyday value. 24 hours a day. 365 days a year. Here, you ca

I hadn't eaten at a Denny's for probably 20 years before my visit with a colleague. The food was just as ordinary, mainstream middle-American as I would have thought. Service was friendly, atmosphere was diner.

I got delivery from Mountain Mike's to my hotel while staying in Marina. Having just had pizza twice at schools, I went with the hot chicken wings and a side salad. The wings were plump, meaty, and juicy, though the sauce could have had more kick. The salad was huge â I had some of it with the wings and some another day, and never got to the bottom of the container. I'd order from them again.

I was told by People to give this little Deli in Marina a try. So I went in on afternoon to have a Sandwich, Salad and an Italian Soda.I ordered a Pastrami Sandwich that arrived on cheap Sandwich Bread that can be purchased at any Grocery Store. There was also hardly any Pastrami on the Sandwich. For having spent nearly $25USD I was unhappy.I mentioned my dissatisfaction to the Staff and the response was a joke. Subway Sandwiches serves better Sandwiches than this Deli.I will never go back nor will I recommend this Business.

Great place to get a good beer on tap at a reasonable price. We had black stout and 1066. Both were delicious. The calamari appetizer was not so great. Service was good. It's a very cool place. This was our second time there. First time we only ordered beers.

We were visiting the area and stumbled on Daddyâs City Diner as weâre driving down Reservation Road. It is a good cafe for breakfast...nothing fancy, just friendly people and good food at a reasonable price. As you enter you seat yourself and someone is soon at your table taking your drink order...coffee isnât far behind. There is a nice variety of dishes for breakfast. I was pleased to see a good selection on the seniorâs menu. The prices are reasonable, the service friendly and accommodating. The portions were substantial, even from the senior menu. A great choice for breakfast.

California Coastal Cuisine - with three dining environments that are anchored by a central, experiential oyster bar and live-fire kitchen. The menu is fresh, local, simple and high quality.
Reviewed By AnnSantaBarbaraCA_
The good oysters are fantastic but pricey 3.25 per oyster, grilled octopus, one of the best Iâve ever had perfectly grilled and seasoned. The pork chop thick juicy, very good. Now the bad had a $45 veggie pasta special that was very poorly seasoned, couldnât eat it, no one at our table liked it. The service was very slow and unattentive.We were served apps with no plates, had to wait 20 min. to order drinks and they were 1/4 full, there were plenty of bodies around, just not our table I guess, pricey, but anything from the wood grill worth it.

We have gone to Ticos Restaurant for years and every meal that we ordered was excellent. The service is excellent too. We have also purchased some of their homemade jams and enjoyed them at home. This is an excellent place for both breakfast and lunch. It makes me happy just thinking about Ticos.
