SALT Restaurant & Bar

The Marina del Rey Hotel takes up the far end of Bali Way with boats on nearly every side, and its restaurant opens onto patios along both flanks, set with couches around fire pits and heat lamps for after dark. Seafood carries the menu: oysters, crab cake, lobster bisque, branzino, a jumbo shrimp cocktail. The bar half goes by the Del Rey Lounge, and there's live music on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights.
