Set inside the Hilton Garden Inn, Marina Bar & Grill serves classic wings, burgers, and cocktails overlooking the marina and pool deck. It’s less a destination wing joint and more a comfortable hotel bar where properly fried wings and drinks meet waterfront views.

Classic Buffalo wings, Lemon pepper wings, Wings and fries combo

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Hotel garage and surface lot parking are available on-site; typically $8–$12 depending on validation. Street parking along Admiralty Way is limited during peak dinner hours.
Dress code: Casual to resort-casual; tees and shorts are fine, but many guests lean slightly polished due to the hotel setting.
Noise level: Moderate; indoor TVs and bar chatter create a steady hum, but conversation is still manageable, especially on the patio.
Weekend wait: Usually no more than 10–20 minutes since seating turns quickly and the hotel hosts a steady but not overwhelming crowd.
Weekday lunch: Generally no wait; walk right in.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—salads, veggie flatbreads, and sides offer workable vegetarian options.
Vegan options: Limited—mostly salads with modifications and basic sides; no dedicated vegan entrées.
Gluten-free options: A few options like salads and select proteins can be prepared gluten-free, but cross-contact is possible due to shared fryers.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? It works for casual, low-pressure meetups—especially on the patio with marina views—but it’s not the most intimate or culinary-forward setting for a romantic first impression.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, almost always. The hotel-guest flow keeps tables turning, and walk-ins are typically seated quickly unless there’s a large event.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—families staying at the hotel frequent the restaurant, and the menu has kid-appropriate items. The patio offers extra space for younger children to settle in without feeling cramped.
Best For
Better for: Waterfront views, convenience for hotel guests, and relaxed patio seating make it ideal for casual meals rather than destination wings.
Skip if: You’re seeking top-tier wings, craft sauces, or a dedicated sports-bar atmosphere—better options exist nearby for flavor-first wing experiences.
