Restaurants in Coronado

“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.”

“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!”

“Wonderful French bistro with great food”

“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.”

“This place feels like a hidden gem being off Orange where it seems ask the tourists go. The food is top notch, good prices and with the gelato place next door, a perfect date night”

“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.”

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

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

“A must for a beach snack, sandwich, or burrito! The staff is so kind. There is a wide variety of food and drink options to pack and take with you. The sandwiches/burritos are fairly priced and absolutely delicious!”

“Highly Recommended Miguel's Cocina Mexican Restaurants🥰”

“Visiting San Diego in a few months. Upon seeing the way this business was represented in a travel video I will be making a visit to patronize. Keep treating members of the public the way you do. Kudos”

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

“They’re great. They explained their different beers.”

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

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

“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.”

“Friendly and awesome presentation”

“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).”

“Relaxing with a great view”

“My family of three stayed here for a Mother’s Day weekend staycation and had such a wonderful experience. The service and food were both excellent. I unfortunately forgot the name of the staff member who took care of us, but he was absolutely phenomenal, so attentive and thoughtful, especially with our 10 month old.

When our son’s rigatoni came out fresh and too hot to eat, including the plate itself, he kindly brought over a to go container so it could cool down safely. He also kept my Arnold Palmer refilled without me ever having to ask. Those small touches really stood out and made the experience feel extra special.

Highly recommend the PEI mussels and the seafood pasta. We will definitely be back!”

“Service & food & the atmosphere”

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

“Great food friendly staff”

“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.”

“Love my Coronado Better Buzz! If there were 10 stars, I’d give this crew a full 10/10 without hesitation. Top-tier service, my fav drink made perfectly, and a quick in-and-out that sets me up for the day. The vibe is upbeat, the space is spotless, and everyone is genuinely welcoming. And shoutout to Chris for the warmest greeting in town — instant mood boost every single morning. Cheers! ☕️”

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

“Food is very fresh tasting, totally California! The Coronado ambience is always worth the trip when in San Diego. The beach is within walking distance and such a pleasant site.”

“Crown Bistro is one of those places you can tell really cares about what they’re doing.

The service is genuinely warm and attentive without feeling over the top, and the menu clearly has a lot of thought behind it, everything feels intentional and well put together.

The food and drinks were all great and Bella was extremely attentive.

Definitely a spot worth visiting.”

“Service & food & the atmosphere”

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

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

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

“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!”

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

“My Caffee & Pistachio combination was awesome 👍😍”

“Nado Republic is one of my family and I's absolutely favorite restaurants!! The food is authentic Italian imported from Italy. The service is amazing (Arlo is THE best)!!! Ambience and music is great and they do an awesome job with celebrations! Highly recommend!!!”

“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!”

“awesome food. highly recommend”

“Beautiful location right by the water, which is definitely the highlight of this place. The outdoor patio is very inviting, with comfy couches and small fire pits that make it a great spot to relax and enjoy the view.
The food was good overall, though nothing particularly memorable. Service is fairly casual—you order at the till and then wait for your food to be brought to the table.
Parking can be a bit of a challenge. There is a nearby lot, but it’s paid and not cheap. Otherwise, you may get lucky with street parking if you don’t mind walking a bit.
Nice place for the setting and atmosphere, especially on a sunny day.”

“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!”

“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🤤👍🏼👍🏼.”

“Nice find, tucked away in the back of base next to the golf course. Came here on a Thursday because that’s when they do the Fried Chicken plate. Food was delicious, I was expecting something that tasted canned but this was a welcome surprise. Staff was also really nice. They have a full bar but I didn’t imbibe during lunch. I wish they had more than Pepsi products at the fountain soda stand. Will come back again”

“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.”

“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!”

“We requested a window table but should have been more specific. Our Table was outside by a window. The temperature was comfortable but the roll down shade was closed and the window looked out at the parking lot. Should have said water view table”

“comrades, what's wrong with the building? XD

Kid-friendliness: very tasty children, the main thing is not to overcrowd them in the basement”

“Great place ! Wonderful Ford”

“After walking the beach on Coronado Island, we decided to stop in at Subway. Lorna was very pleasant and met our order to the top! Service was great, restaurant was clean and tidy, and our hunger needs for the day were satisfied. Well, done, Lorna.!”

“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.”

“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.”

“One of my favorite spots whenever I visit.”

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

“Had this place for lunch. The views of the ocean and hotel are great, I love the vibe. I got the Wahoo Al Pastor sandwich, it was pretty good. We shared the Sunset fries, they were loaded! This is a good place for lunch and drinks while enjoying the beach.”

“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.”

“Honestly could be considered a bit pricy until you finish your first drink. The bar tenders make some of the best drinks I've ever had and at first they seem to just be heavy on the fruit but about halfway thru you realize they balance the alcohol perfectly so you cant tell that they definitely make them very sturdy for a day at the beach. As for the tacos, I usually end up having several by the end of the day they are just so balanced and flavorful. Good portion size too (I usually get several fish tacos and one or two shrimp thru the day). I will always recommend the classic margarita with a tajin rim or the watermelon drinks they make. The fruit garnish is to die for and very refreshing complement to the drink itself. I am very passionate about this place.”
