Amalfi Marina Bar

Ege our server was the best of the best! Hands down the best server here and will take good care of you. If you ever come to this location, make sure to ask to have EGE as your server! He's very attentive and we'll make the experience 10/10. Someone give this man a raise!

My friend Toby P has reviewed this place and said she liked it more than upstairs at Amalfi. So on a hot day it seemed a fun place to try to try to keep cool for drinks. It was stuffier even on the patio than the street at first! But we got a good breeze from the water about halfway through our meal. They don't have happy hour specials here, because they are so popular that they don't need them. But as Toby said, the food is more reasonably priced downstairs. I got a Hugo spritz which was very refreshing. I also got the beyond burger, which was very tasty and a big plate. It had french fries and crispy potato skins, along with an arugula salad. Surprisingly the arugula salad was underseasoned and bland. but everything else was very tasty. I wish there was more of a breeze today, but it was still very nice and the service was great. It's nice to have these two options in the midst of North County.

I have frequented this restaurant for several years with no incident until July 3. My husband and I went out for a celebratory dinner, and at 1:30 in the morning, I woke up with food poisoning that had lasted for six days so far. My husband and I called the restaurant and walked into the restaurant, looking for management. No one has called us back. The hostess mentioned that the management knew this problem and called us back, which never happened. Now six days later the manager won't come to the phone to speak to me about the situation after six days of being ill walking around in horrific pain, think that management would at least pick up the phone and speak to their customer. They have no regard for anybody other than themselves and I will never ever return.

Amalfi Bar is a trifecta of an experience. It has the views, the atmosphere, and service. This hidden gem on the lake is the closest you will get to feeling like you are on an Italian coast (in San Marcos). We enjoy going the nights they have music. The drinks are great, and the staff feel like family to us. Cheers

I have been here many times over the years, including when it was Decoy Dockside. When Amalfi took over, there were some growing pains. But I have to say, I was just there 5/31/24 for the band, The Swinging Johnsons. It was PACKED!! We arrived at 4:30 and there was one single table in the back towards the boat dock left. Not ideal but we sat there and they put our name on a waitlist for a lakeside table. Service was immediate and super friendly/accommodating. By the time we finished our first glass of wine, they helped us move to a prime table, corner lake view. We had 5 others join us over the course of the night and each time someone new arrived, our server was there in an instant taking their order. Point of sale made it super easy to split our checks. I was SUPER impressed. A gem for Lake San Marcos.

We've been a few times but only downstairs on the dock Bagar the ceviche and some good cocktails. Good service and nice ambiance

This is a total hidden gem in North county. The Amalfi Marina bar is just below the Amalfi Italian restaurant on Lake San Marcos and is open air with heaters if you are cold. From watching the water feature out in the lake to the gondolas and black and white swans it is really relaxing. Everything I have tried here is really good. The Eggplant Parmigiana, meatballs, wood fired pizzas and the roasted artichoke, goat cheese and olive salad are my favorites. The wine and beer list is very substantial and they have a full bar. Great for Happy hour with live music and large screen Televisions for watching sports. The service has always been top shelf.

I've been here 3 times in the last two months for happy hour with my mom friends. I love the views of the water and the houses along the water. At the holidays, the boat owners dress up their boats with lights and Christmas decorations and float around the lake. They wave as they pass by the diners in the restaurant...it's so cute! The food and drinks have always been great during happy hour. Last time, we bought two margarita pizzas for 4 of us and there was plenty! It was also very tasty. The happy hour drinks are $5 which is a deal anywhere you go. It includes some beer and wine options also. This has become our go-to place for happy hour! Good service, good food, great prices, and views you can't beat

So much fun on a FRIDAY NITE music moonlight waterfront marina and a wildly enthusiastic crowd! Delish drinks amazing bartender what more could you ask for?!

7.7/10. Solid food in a great location. Definitely recommend this spot for the sight alone
