    My boyfriend and I came to celebrate his new job and had a delicious time per usual. Marica has come to be our go-to place for birthdays, anniversaries and any celebration really. The food is always on point as well as service. And the pricing is pretty good for the quality of food as well as portion. My bf was only slightly disappointed they ran out of the Twice Cooked Lobster for the day - slightly. He was debating between the Lobster and the Seafood Stew anyway so it made the decision easier for him. Seafood stew was delicious per usual. We tried some new items to us on this visit including the mushroom toast, the grilled prawns appetizer, the fries, and I had the sweet Korean pork ribs for the first time. I would easily get all the dishes again. The mushroom toast was a little pricey but honestly so good. The grilled shrimp was nice and tender (probably the least "creative" dish so I could skip next time). We'll absolutely be getting the fries again though because they're so crispy and fun to eat - and the mayo/aioli is so yummy with the fries! I'd definitely get the ribs again but I'll probably be doing the Twice Cooked lobster again on my next visit because it's a must every other visit! All in all, looking forward to the next excuse to come back to Marica!

    We somehow found the high-quality, reasonably priced, extremely delicious, family restaurant of our dreams! As an East Coaster, observing the vibe and hearing about the same family who has owned the establishment since 2000 just givessss authentic. Then the food came out! O-M-G! Must haves: Calamari (it's lightly breaded and pairs so well with the side salad), as well as the Achiote Shrimp app! For dinner the salmon and Day boat scallops were awesome! Scallops were cooked perfectly succulent and bouncy fresh. Asparagus was a nice touch, not overcooked with just the right amount of crunch. Do you like Pesto? Do you hate Pesto? Well, try the Pistou! It's an amazing complementary sauce that will surprise diners on both sides of the Pesto spectrum. Didn't have a chance to try dessert, maybe next time! If you're lucky enough to get Thomas as your server then consider yourself lucky, and maybe go play the lottery later because your stars are aligned!!! Thomas is awesome! We'll be back every 6-8 weeks when we visit Oakland :)

    Such an incredible experience! My boyfriend and I came here for dinner on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. Service was absolutely fantastic. Everyone was welcoming and they even let us choose our table. They also gave us complimentary bread and butter and a free refill! The ambiance is lovely and the interior feels classy. We ordered the seafood stew and grilled salmon. Both dishes were fantastic. Portion sizes are a bit on the smaller side but it was delicious. The flavor of the stew especially stood out to us. Definitely a must try dish!
