Cast & Plow

Food was very good a little on the pricey side. Waitress was delightful she gave us time but made sure she checked on us. The location is beautiful.

Despite the fact that I mentioned in the reservation I would like to sit at one of the fire pit tables yet, all the tables were already being occupied on arrival for our reservation. Which’s the reason for the FOUR STARS. Valet is automatic on arrival, otherwise they will refer you to park all the way across the street. Lol! Of course we were more than happy to pay for valet service $15. It was a cold/gloomy Saturday evening. Couldn’t really take advantage of the view with such gloomy skies. Anyway, our waitress was very nice. Gosh, I can’t recall her name - but she had the prettiest blue eyes. She was very patient with me when I was indecisive about which drink to indulge with my meal. My fiancé had the salmon which he stated was very good. Flavorful & cooked to perfection. He certainly enjoyed his meal. My dish was delicious as well. Meat was cooked thoroughly & flavorful. There was a sweet taste to my sauce which made the lamb that much enjoyable. Even though we sat inside, we still had a clear view of the marina. I was grateful to still be able to enjoy my meal with a view. I definitely recommend dining at the Cast & Plow.

The service and food was absolutely wonderful. What an amazing team, they were so nice and friendly.

We come back every time ! (January 2024) This was our second time staying at the Ritz Carlton Marina del Ray and second time to visit Cast & Plow. Rather than leave the comfort of the hotel, we opted to relax-in [again] at Cast & Plow. The team is always fantastic - friendly, fun and top-notch service ! And the food, we are never disappointed in our choices - breakfast or dinner!! Parking: Hotel valet parking only, unless you park across the street !

This was my $20 "salad". The tomato wasn't even worth eating. I rest my case.

$140 Christmas dinner for two seared scallops and 6oz steak (marked 10oz).

Amazing view, delicious food, and excellent service. Indoor/outdoor seating/bar seating: There are many seating options at this restaurant, but make sure to sit outside if weather permits. This place is perfect for Sunday brunch. Food: On my last visit, I ordered the Fit Wrap, grilled cajun spiced chicken breast, sauteed spinach, egg whites, feta cheese, red salsa. it was filling but did not make me feel heavy. Service: Julia was our amazing server who went out of her way to take care of us, frequently checking on us and refreshing our coffee mid-way through our meal. Sonat, the Assistant Manager, introduced himself and checked to ensure we were thoroughly satisfied, which we were. Sonat was professional, courteous and personable. Parking: Valet parking is the best option, though there is a public parking lot across the street. Shane at valet is kind, smart, courteous, and has an incredible memory. I highly recommend this restaurant, and thank you to Sonat, Julia and Shane for their outstanding service! Parking: Valet parking is the best option. There is a paid public parking lot on Admiralty across the street from the Ritz.

We had a disappointing experience. It is not a Ritz Carlton level restaurant, and quite far from it. Service: Hostess seated us at the farthest back corner table physically possible in the entire building, when 1) restaurant was almost completely empty and 2) I had specifically asked for a table with a view IE a window when I made the rsv AND when I called to confirm the rsv. Our waiter Josh. Attitude. I ordered glass of Veuve and kindly told him we want a “bubbly” glass and not to be flat/IE fresh bottle. He gave me a look, geez. Yes, I do not mind paying $41 for a glass that I can get a bottle for $50 at Costco, but yes minimum expectation is to receive a chilled/bubbly pour. When I asked him what temp would chef recommend the lamb to be cooked us, his response with a hint of rude was “well the chef wont be eating it, its you”. I then asked for a to-go box for my scallop, and he brought me a “barbie size” container without a bag. When I asked for a bag, he said “Oh you want a bag for that…” Apparently his expectation was for me to put the scallops in my Chanel bag. Food: Cesar Salad was 99% salt and 1% greens. Scallops were rubbery and drowning in a overly creamy sauce, for $52, not worth it at all. . The Apple “cheesecake” was deep fried, oily, and just a cheesecake soup with ice cream and a oily croissant like crust. Atmosphere: outdated The price is not worth it, we choose as was closest nicest to LAX.
