The tide is turning at The Marine Room in La Jolla — with big changes on the horizon for the iconic oceanfront restaurant on Spindrift Drive. 🌊

The 81-year-old landmark business — known for its eye-level location right on the surf and dramatic, high tide dinners with the waves hitting right up against the windows — will temporarily close Sun., Sept. 11-Fri., Sept. 30, for a bit of a makeover.

You see, a new lounge concept + interior upgrades are underway, set to be unveiled in early October. A rep tells SDtoday that guests can expect an “enhanced ambiance and a new era to drink, eat, and take in the views.” 🌅

The new addition will offer bottle service, chef-driven cocktails, an expanded wine + bubbles list, and seafood-centric small plates. 🥂

We can’t wait to see these changes roll in.
