OK, this suggestion isn't in Culver City. It is, however, only a short drive away in Playa del Rey and well worth the time and travel. An extremely professional and friendly staff lend to a special dining experience. There is a full bar, busy with customers looking for casual relaxing, TV and a dance floor with piano bar. Entertainment is provided in the evenings by talented pianists and vocalists.
Street parking is ample but they also provide valet parking for that special evening out.
La Marina Inn serves a variety of consistently wonderful food. Your dinner starts with a relish tray and fresh, warm bread. Steaks, chops and seafood entrees are freshly prepared, creative, and served with soup or salad. Their menu is essentially continental and American fare. Usually we enjoy their exquisitely prepared fish dinners, but I almost always go for the duck or prime rib.
