Restaurants in Coronado

“I had a wonderful and amazing taste of all of the delicious food prepared at Serea Coastal Cuisine. I can’t wait to go back and have this delicious food.”

“We had awesome service by Dern! He was polite, friendly and outgoing. (Killer now tie too!) He made our experience so fun! I even witnessed his care for his customers as I watched him ensure an elderly man did not fall walking to the bathroom. Also, he seemed to interact positively with his teammates too. Thanks Dern! The facility and restrooms were clean. It was like stepping back in time. There are a lot of nostalgic things to take in. My husband and I split a classic hamburger, crinkle fries and a strawberry malt. All of it was delicious. My husband said, “if we lived here, I’d be a regular.””

“It is one of our favorite spots. Incredible food. Incredible service. Gorgeous atmosphere. Right in the heart of the village Coronado island.”

“Service & food & the atmosphere”

“A great little French “bistro”. The menu is varied enough for most. I had the curry chicken salad which was perfectly flavored. Portion size was generous. My husband had a bacon panino with a suave of fresh fruit. The fruit was really fresh and ripe. We couldn’t resist dessert - they have a large display of very delectable desserts. The coffee was perfect - strong without any bitterness. Waiter was attentive without being intrusive and offered me coffee to go. I highly recommend this little gem. While we didn’t drink, the table next to us ordered several bottles of wine.”

“Outstanding service and food. The Juevos Rancheros with rice and beans were well portioned and delicious. The young lady serving us was helpful and attentive. New favorite!”

“Friendly and awesome presentation”

“Wonderful French bistro with great food”

“Best ever.. 20 years ago Clayton’s was the best and still the best.. flavor, portion size, hands down 10 out of 10”

“Highly Recommended Miguel's Cocina Mexican Restaurants🥰”

“Our favorite restaurant on the Island! Never disappoints 🥰”

“Where good service is an essential ingredient, la corriente coronado, I had a delicious meal; the sushi is spectacular!!. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“You won’t expect it, but I promise you best subs you’ll have out here on Coronado delicious I had the ninth and orange spicy chicken bread is fresh crispy so delicious”

“Crème brûlée gelato is addictive!”

“Best Cold Brew in Coronado! Shout out to Team Paige 💯”

“Outstanding Service. Good food Nice location”

“Great ice cream! The cookie dough sundae was awesome!”

“Their pastries are exquisite. I’ll be pining for their almond croissants for years to come. Thank you for the delicious treat.”

“The service was excellent. Prompt and attentive and very accommodating. Food was very good. It is very noisy; however, I think there were more people inside because it was raining and they couldn't use the outside tables. Overall, a very good experience.”

“Great food friendly staff”

“Dog friendly with outside seating. We ordered two EPIC hot lobster rolls (Connecticut style, warm with butter) and although they were delicious, for the EPIC PRICE OF $39 PER ROLL, it was very skimpy compared to what you get for that price in New England. They stack it high in the middle and don’t fill the bun to the ends to make it look super full. It’s not. The New England clam chowder was great though.”

“Relaxing with a great view”

“Sushi is great but try the non-sushi items rock. Try tue shishito pepper bao bun! Always delicious!”

“Absolutely love Calypso Café food is great. Service is beyond excellent 10 star all the way.”

“first time coming to this restaurant and the atmosphere was great and the service was amazing too. we sat out front and the umbrellas provided enough shade for morning time sun. they played awesome chill jazz and r&b music i loved the vibe the whole time we ate. i ordered the napolitano joe’s and it was very good the veggies were cooked perfectly and the chicken sausage, i think it was, was really good! sourdough bread was REALLY good too.”

“Cristina and her crew at Better Buzz Coffee in Coronado deserve some love!

This was my first stop after stepping outside the Hotel del Coronado “compound” during a work retreat. Being a Kentucky guy, I honestly wasn’t expecting that same back-home welcome, but Cristina delivered from the moment I walked in.

She was super helpful and even brought Diego up from the back to help me figure out a protein-packed breakfast. That little extra effort says a whole lot about the people running a place.

With it being October, Cristina and I even connected over a personal story about cancer. It turned into a meaningful conversation that made the visit feel like more than just grabbing breakfast. Super personable, accommodating and welcoming.

For California, I felt the prices were more than fair. My food came out steaming hot, and the coffee? Perfecto!

Five stars for the people, food and atmosphere. One of the highlights of my trip. Sometimes stepping outside your routine leads you straight to good people and a great experience.

Cristina, Diego and the whole crew, thank you for making this Kentucky visitor feel welcome! Big Scott’s video review is coming soon on Facebook and TikTok. 💪☕”

“Beautiful view food and service was excellent. Affordable. Highly recommend”

“My Caffee & Pistachio combination was awesome 👍😍”

“There’s no losing in Dice - you can only win: win with free drink or win by buying drinks for your friends. Best to get the “read ahead” on rules from Naval Aviator before “winning” and buying entire round a shout(round).”

“People, drinks and burgers are fantastic after a long day.”

“Numerous Vegan options. The Vegan burger was amazing and their dairy free chocolate shake blew me away. Highly recommend”

“Really good service! Marco helped me out choosing and was super friendly and attentive. Everything went smoothly, and I had a great experience. Definitely recommend!”

“Everything by we had was amazing! I highly recommend!”

“We love Bluewater Grill and their sourdough bread is to die for!”

“Al pastor taco was overstuffed and delicious. I used the green salsa and it was flavorful without being hot.

Outside only seating, but in Coronado, that works just fine

Based on Google they’re seed oil free so that’s a definite plus in our book”

“Best chicken burrito ever!!! Their chipotle sauce is da bomb!!!”

“Just stopped in for a drink before our dinner and sat at the bar outside. Our bartender, Will was fantastic. He was very kind and attentive. Definitely will be back.”

“Service & food & the atmosphere”

“The service was unbelievable! Lately, our family has not dined out due to many lackluster experiences. This was not the case this time. Wonderful staff, Ansel, especially. Delicious food and amazing city light night views. Take to ferry over for a nice little night with your family. We will be back!”

“The people are awesome and friendly. You are always greeted with a smile and made to feel they are really glad you’re there. The store is clean and the food is excellent. The selection of alcohol, wine and beers is some of the I’ve seen. Good job!”

“The food may be mediocre but the view, the price and the portion is way out of this league of local restaurant. Your getting corner store price portion for oceanfront view, could not ask for more.”

“Which Wich is fun the first time with the whole bag-ordering thing, but after that it’s really about the sandwiches. They’re customizable and pretty satisfying if you know what you want. Quality’s decent, not amazing. It can feel a bit slow during busy hours. Overall, a solid pick when you’re craving something quick and made your way.”

“Fabulous popsicles and top notch service! We went back again and again for the cute popsicle boy Socrates! Friendly, welcoming, helpful. Best thing we found in San Diego for sure!”

“We came for happy hour. Greeted right away by a very nice lady. She escorted us to find the best seat. Shared the calamari which was really good. Not too chewy. The old fashioneds were really good too. They were generous with the bourbon even with it being happy hour. Beautiful rooftop view of downtown coronado, hotel del and ocean.”

“We all deserve a second chance and II Fornaio is not exempt. I was told to try this place for a nice meal. My family visited this establishment a few weeks back. Unfortunately, we had one of the worst experiences ever. Lack of attentiveness, service, taste, & dining experience. We left waiting to speak to a manager that never came as he was taking care of another matter and I didn't want to wait any longer. I got home and my wife insisted that I call to report our experience and give the manager a chance to do something about it. I spoke with Assistant General Manager Antonio Ramirez who apologized and said he would investigate and call me the following morning. Needless to say he didn't return the call for a week later. I honestly thought he forgot. Mr Ramirez called and once again apologize and offered to pay for our meal on the next visit. He was genuinely concerned about the companies reputation and making up for a poor experience. I returned the following week with a complete different situation. Mr Ramirez introduced himself, followed the hostess to our seat, took the unused glasses and offered to get our drinks. The busser, he could easily pass for Santa Claus, was johnny on the spot with water, tea and refills. Our waitress, Susan was what all should aspire to as far as a quality food server. Susan was suggestive of everything, we chose two of her recommendations and were not unhappy. Between Mr. Ramirez, Susan and Santa Claus (sorry never got the busser's name), my wife and I had the best dining experience that turned our hearts to highly recommend II Fornaio as the place to frequent for that wonderful dining experience. We will definitely return to dine after this time. Thank you for changing our hearts to believe in you. It's time to make Assistant General Manager Antonio Ramirez General Manager with his attitude, demeaner, and loyalty to the company and the return of a good customer experience. Thank you, Thank you and Thank you.”

“We were a party of five at your Le Mesa location on 3/22/26 and I believe our server's name was Diana. Our experience was absolutely fantastic! The food was superb, the facility was spotless and every member of the staff that interacted with was professional, helpful and friendly. Diana was fantastic! She has the perfect balance of friendly efficiency, light humor to match our personalities and spot on timing to check in with us. We can't wait to visit again! Thank you.”

“I had dinner here on a Sunday night. The atmosphere was great outside. It was a little chilly, but they have outdoor heaters. I would still recommend bringing a jacket with the breeze. I ordered the Greek salad, red wine, and the bolognese. My only complaint would be how long the entree took to come out. I was already there for about an hour before my entree came. It was amazing and I forgot about how long it took. Overall pleased. Be ready to spend a fair amount of money especially if you want appetizers and drinks.”

“This is a wonderful Book Store. It’s beautiful and clean. Great location and very friendly staff. It’s great that they have books from local authors as well.”

“Quaint little spot with a giant personality. The place is aesthetically decorated but yet a homely feel with their attentive staff. We were served by Luciano and he was great! His Italian flair made for an enjoyable time. I would definitely come back for their limoncello and Luciano!”

“The service was unbelievable! Lately, our family has not dined out due to many lackluster experiences. This was not the case this time. Wonderful staff, Ansel, especially. Delicious food and amazing city light night views. Take to ferry over for a nice little night with your family. We will be back!”

“One of my favorite spots whenever I visit.”

“So delicious, sometimes I’m almost done with my🥤☕️ before I take a picture🤦🏻‍♀️ AND the pastries 🍩🥐 The donuts are yummy but don’t even get me started on the 🤤battery🤤croissants🤤👍🏼👍🏼.”

“Great appetizer and drink selection. Recommend: Salmon Rillettes, Parmesan/Garlic Truffle Fries, Olives and Almonds, and the Cheese plate. We were there over a holiday weekend (and during World Cup games) - so it seemed like they were short-staffed, but that might be different on 'normal' weekends.”

“We always have a wonderful time at Bluewater Grill and the food is delicious. It was a little bit warm because they don't have air conditioning, but there was a nice breeze that went through the building.”

“We had such a great experience here, and Luke truly made our night!

We had just come from Nighthawk, where we sat at the bar for about 20 minutes without being acknowledged by any of the three bartenders working. The difference when we arrived here was night and day.

Luke greeted us right away, took the time to walk us through the menu, answered our questions, and actually engaged with us throughout our visit. He was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel genuinely welcomed rather than like we were just another couple sitting at the bar.

As someone who works in hospitality, I really appreciate great service, and Luke is a perfect example of how much a bartender can impact the entire experience. We had such a great time and will absolutely be back. Thank you, Luke, for turning our night around!”

“awesome food. highly recommend”

“U love it. Good sushi chefs! Very enjoyed”

“Like most Panda Express restaurants. Food is good and fresh, However, depending on the hour you go, they maybe out of certain items and you may need to wait. Servers try hard but employees can be overwhelmed with rush hour traffic.

Vegetarian options: Many tasty choices

Kid-friendliness: My great grandaughter (4 yr old) loves Panda. She loves the noodles and vegetables.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty. Easy in and out”

“Cold Stone Creamery Located in the charming Ferry Landing shops, Cold Stone Creamery in Coronado offers a sweet escape with a wide variety of ice cream creations, cakes, shakes, and smoothies.

We ordered the Cotton Candy and Peanut Butter flavors, both were delicious and definitely hit the spot! Each was $8.95, totaling about $17.90 for two small scoops, which felt a bit pricey for the portion size in my opinion .

There are some chairs and umbrellas just outside the shop, so you can sit and enjoy your treat while taking in the view.

There was a long line when we visited, and we waited around 15 minutes to order. Staff was friendly!”

“Great place ! Wonderful Ford”

“Very expensive coffee and not good quality”

“deliiiicioso limpio y rapido”

“The location is in a shopping center. There's no drive thru or bathrooms inside. It faces the street you have to park on the street and walk. The food was quickly served and hot/fresh. This place is on the side of the island that faces downtown San Diego. I drove from the beach so completely on the other side. It's less than 10 mins from the beach side.”

“I recently had the opportunity to dine at ALBACA Restaurant at the Marriott Coronado, and it was a really enjoyable experience from start to finish. The restaurant has a great location and a comfortable atmosphere that makes it a nice choice whether you’re staying at the Marriott, visiting Coronado, or simply looking for somewhere convenient and relaxing to enjoy a meal.

One of the first things I noticed was the overall setting. Being at the Marriott in Coronado gives the restaurant a pleasant atmosphere, and it’s a nice place to slow down and enjoy your meal rather than feeling rushed. The space feels welcoming and works well for different occasions, whether you’re having a casual meal, meeting friends or family, or simply grabbing something to eat while staying at the hotel.

The food was one of the highlights of the experience. The dishes we ordered were flavorful, fresh, and nicely prepared. The presentation was appealing, and the portions were satisfying without feeling excessive. The flavors were well balanced, and you could tell that attention was being paid to the preparation and presentation of the food. Everything arrived looking appetizing, and the meal was enjoyable from beginning to end.

I also appreciated the variety on the menu. There were enough different options to make it easy for everyone in our group to find something they would enjoy. Whether you’re looking for something lighter or want a more substantial meal, there are choices that can accommodate different preferences.

The service was another positive part of the experience. The staff was friendly, professional, and attentive. Our needs were taken care of throughout the meal, and the service had a nice balance of being available when needed without constantly interrupting the experience. That makes a big difference when you’re trying to enjoy a relaxed meal.

Another thing I liked about ALBACA is that the restaurant feels like a convenient option without sacrificing the overall dining experience. Sometimes hotel restaurants can feel like they are simply there because they are convenient, but this felt more like a place where you could actually choose to dine even if you weren’t staying at the property. The combination of the food, service, atmosphere, and location makes it worth considering when you’re in Coronado.

The location itself is also a major advantage. Coronado is such a beautiful area, and having a restaurant located at the Marriott makes it especially convenient for hotel guests and visitors exploring the area. It’s an easy place to stop for a meal before or after spending time around Coronado, and the setting adds to the overall experience.

I think ALBACA would work well for a variety of occasions. It can be a casual spot for a meal during the day, a convenient dinner option, or a place to meet up with friends and family. The atmosphere is comfortable enough that you can sit and enjoy your meal without feeling like you need to hurry out.

Overall, I had a very positive experience at ALBACA Restaurant at the Marriott Coronado. The food was enjoyable, the service was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the location was excellent. It’s a nice combination that makes the restaurant stand out as a convenient and enjoyable dining option in Coronado.

I would definitely consider coming back on a future visit. If you’re staying at the Marriott Coronado or spending time in the area and are looking for a comfortable restaurant with good food, friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere, ALBACA is definitely worth checking out. It was a great overall experience, and I’m glad I had the opportunity to dine there.”

“Very much enjoyed the laidback, casual atmosphere of the bar and the accompanying live music. Like anything at a major resort/hotel, the prices were very high. However, they are a real bar mixing their drinks, instead of a lot of the drinks being pre batched at other places on property.”

“It was an amazing experience and everyone was super nice and friendly”
