Fourth Of July Buffet with Big Bay Boom View

06.23.16

Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina's award-winning restaurant Marina Kitchen and its visionary chef Schwartz have created a special picnic-style buffet dinner on the Fourth of July with a variety of classic Americana options with a modern twist.

The July Fourth menu features everything from watermelon and blue cheese salad to Jidori fried chicken to 12-hour beef brisket with white cheddar mac-n-cheese as well as delectable desserts including peach crisp and strawberry shortcake.

The menu is priced at $36 per adult and $12 per child with kid-friendly options such as hamburgers, hotdogs and corn on the cob. For a low-key Fourth, guests can rent a poolside cabana at Marriott Marquis’ tropical free-form pool with live music flowing all day at the hotel’s famed Tequila Bar.

It’s an idyllic location with a great vantage point to view the annual “Big Bay Boom” fireworks and Star Spangled Pops concert produced by the San Diego Symphony.
