William Urena

William Urena has held nearly every position in a restaurant, both front and back of house over the past 23 years. As sous chef at Marina Grill, his goal is to put the restaurant on the map as a go to for locals and tourists alike. He believes in making dishes that are not only mouth-wateringly tasty, but visually appealing and intriguing as well. On his off days, chef Urena enjoys playing with his dogs, listening to music and reading while enjoying a nice cocktail. Some of his favorite local spots are Barbary Coast, Duck & Dive, Katy’s Grill & Bar, Fork & Cork, Platypus & Gnome, Zocalo and Satellite.
