Date night!!! My boyfriend had never been here and I hadn't been in a long time so tonight was the night. Rhea greeted us with a huge smile and we were seated almost immediately. The atmos is a selling and our server was great. He had a lot of good ideas on the menu and his description of the specials changed my mind on what to order. I had the mushroom pate. A 10 out of 10 in taste and presentation. The pate was perfectly balanced and the grilled bread was simple yet amazing. I also had the hassback potato which was cooked perfectly and came with a truffle mornay sauce. You can tell when a real truffle is used and it's not just some cheap marketing joke. My boyfriend had the hamburger that is sooooo different it is noteworthy. While a little ok the dry side it was bursting with flavor and the Wellington sauce it comes with is so good as to be almost indescribable. Wow. They were kind enough to switch out the French fries for their potato purer and that, too was amazing. So silu. So delicious. Over all a fantastic date night and I cannot reccomend Chez Loma highly enough. Just a joy. read more

Had a great visit here the other night. The staff is wonderful and the ambience is very cozy French. The French onion soup was delicious and the escargot puff pastries we're not my preferred style, but they were still great and I'm sure other people would love them. I just would prefer a more saucy presentation. Everyone was so nice and would definitely recommend read more

We arrive about 5 minutes before our reservation time. The hostess informs us that she will seat us *at* our reservation time. That's it (so we'll wait on the sidewalk I guess?). So my wife asks if we can sit in the bar. Bartender is nice, quick to adapt to the empty keg, and offers up an amusing story while we wait. Which we do until about 5 minutes after our reservation time. Must be busy, right? No. We're seated in the small upstairs dining area which is empty, except for the waiter. The waiter was a gentleman of a certain age, but obviously new to the trade. Not bad, but the lack of experience and training showed. We order, get the bread and wine and as we're waiting for our meals we are entertained by the staff attempting to wrestle a table out of the dining room and down the very narrow stairs. Despite the odd bump and thump they seem to have managed it without catastrophe. The noise and commotion didn't add to the ambiance. The food comes but it seems that what my mother in law ordered isn't what she got. She ordered the fish entree, not the fish starter. Did we misunderstand the menu? Maybe, so we soldier on. My wife has the beef Wellington, I have the duck frites. The duck is in the rare side of the advertised medium rare and not quite warm, as if it had been put on a cold plate. The Wellington looks good, but turns out to be the end of the filet so is chewy on one end. I've asked for another wine, and the waiter returns without it, but with an apology about mother in law's meal: They got the order wrong and were bringing up the entree (and the wine, after a reminder). This arrived about the time the rest of us finished ours, so we got to watch her eat it. At the conclusion of the evening a young man, perhaps the maître d', comes to offer to take the plates. At this point my wife has had enough and delivers a critique--polite and correct, as detailed above. He says, "thanks for the feedback..." and instead of a simple apology, begins an attempt to mansplain. At this point point I've had enough. This person is trying to debate or correct my wife in front of me. Now I'm angry. I cut him off and send him for the bill. He brought the bill and I paid it without audit or debate, and without a tip. It simply wasn't good enough. At least they were polite as we left. We're local to SD, and this was the third time we've eaten there. Each of the others was "OK". After this we won't be going back. read more

We were exploring Coronado when it starting pouring down on us. This cute little French restaurant was like a beacon of light, appearing in front of us like the ultimate sign from the universe. We glanced at the menu and knew this was the perfect place for our last dinner in town. We were impressed from start to finish - the service was great and as a pescatarian I asked if one of my dishes could be prepared without the meat (knowing a lot of French chefs frown upon alterations to dishes) - I was so pleased with my dish that was presented beautifully, and tasted great, too. I will definitely return in the future as we loved every bite! read more

Chez Loma is one of my favorite spots in Coronado for a date night. It has a quaint, romantic atmosphere paired with friendly, attentive staff makes it a perfect place for a relaxed and intimate evening. The French-themed cuisine is also excellent. I had the French onion soup, which is one of my go-to favorites, and I also tried the Salade De La Maison, which comes with arugula, endive, pickled shallots, dijon vinaigrette, and homemade croutons. Both dishes were amazingly delicious, though not super filling. Stop by for a truly great spot with quality food, ambiance, and a classic French dining experience!! read more

The best hidden gem in Coronado! We come to Coronado for a few weeks a year, and we hadn't come to Chez Loma until last year for the first time and I'm SO glad I did. This year, we decided to go back and take my family! It is such a cute restaurant, and never too crowded. The service is truly phenomenal. They are super attentive and give white glove service. The food though is the star of the show. The French onion soup is a must. And the chicken is honestly some of the best chicken I've had. I can't wait to come back soon! read more

Arrived 5 minutes prior to dinner reservation. Was advised to arrive at the exact time of the reservation. A little surprising as the upstairs room we were later directed to was empty. There was no suggestion to visit the bar and wait for a few minutes. The the time came we weren't directed to our table and the bartender reached out on our behalf to notify the front of house. Order was messed up. Delivered the wrong food and then when they realized we had a long wait for the entree and the other entrees were already finished. Staff proceeded to move a table out of the empty dining room while we sat which was noisy and strange as no one else was in the room at this time. Furniture should have been moved either before or after guests were dining. The beef Wellington wasn't the best filet I have had. Overall disappointing. Since my review my reservation was cancelled, which is rather surprising. Photos to prove we were there. read more

Been coming here for many years when visiting the area. This WAS our favorite spot in Coronado.

I was finally able to try this place out for a dinner date night with my fiancé and we had the best time. The service truly is impeccable with everyone from the host to the food runners and our servers, we felt everyone genuinely cared for us. Now to the important stuff, the food. You absolutely MUST get the pear and burrata salad as a starter. The French onion soup might be the best we've ever had, and the escargot was yummy. It wasn't as heavy on the parsley as most escargot apps but it was delicious nonetheless. The best entree we ordered was without a doubt the beef Wellington. Cooked to perfection and SO tasty. Then we ended the evening with bread pudding, which was to die for! Oh ya, I almost forgot! We also ordered the lobster Mac and cheese as one of our sides and the lobster portion was very generous and also cooked to perfection. read more

Lol...my boyfriend took me to eat here on a New Year's Eve 42 years ago and I still remember it as one of my favorite experiences from when we lived in Coronado. The food was lovely, the service flawless and the atmosphere intimate and special. Now I want to go back, the boyfriend is husband so he should be available! read more

Everything about Ches Loma was magnificent! This is as close as you can get to dining in someone's house while eating out. It's a cute French chateau turned restaurant and everything about it is absolutely cozy and perfect. Service was impeccable. The host, bartenders, our server and every other staff member were all super attentive, helpful, and made our night there that much more special. The food is also incredible. Everything we got was delicious and made with love. The crab cake was the best I've ever had. The lobster ravioli and chicken milanese were absolutely dreamy. We also loved the baked oysters! Those are a must! Dessert was also very tasty. The bread pudding was my favorite. As the waiter said, it tasted like a warm, soft stick of butter. Can't wait to go back one day! Highly recommend! read more

The vibes are immaculate. The food is fantastic. The service is thoughtful. I can't recommend enough!

Its a cute place. However the escargot was absolutely horrible! It was the worst I have ever had. The artichoke app was also not appetizing. The onion soup was good, it was the only good thing we had. The drinks and service were fine. I won't be back. There are so many other places to go. Ehh read more

Delightful early dinner here on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The hostess got us seated in the bar, 'three plus Pug' Our server Art set the scene, started me out with a Banshee Pinot Noir to accompany the Escargot (the reason we came her) We only ordered apps, the grilled Caesar Salad was ok, the Artichoke dish was money, never seen it prepared like that, must try. Euro vibe, felt like the south coast of France. Wish they had more French Reds by the glass. read more

My experience at Chez Loma was honestly disappointing from start to finish. We had a reservation and still stood waiting for about 45 minutes while they ran behind, even more frustrating, a couple who arrived after us (with the same time reservation) was seated first. Once we finally sat down, we weren't acknowledged for another 20 minutes. I can't go long without food or water without feeling shaky and anxious, so that wait felt especially rough. By the time we got water, several of the menu items I had been looking forward to were already unavailable. The restaurant felt understaffed and overcrowded, almost like the kitchen and team were overwhelmed. I did notice one employee trying to keep things afloat, but overall the service felt disorganized. It also seemed like other tables around us were frustrated and not having great experiences either, which added to the sense that things were not running smoothly. Food-wise, the duck with fries was unfortunately the worst dish I've had in a long time. The halibut was okay, but I actually enjoyed the potatoes and sauce more than the fish itself. The salad leaned overly bitter -- decent if you picked around it, but not something I'd order again. The chocolate mouse was the best part. And we did not receive bread or any appetizer before our meal. For a $300 meal, it simply wasn't worth it. The whole evening felt chaotic, and there was little effort to accommodate or make up for the long wait. We were expecting a 4 course meal, so not sure what made this so expensive considering we had 1 drink total. I wouldn't recommend making later reservations here unless you're prepared for delays. Unfortunately, I will probably never come back here. read more

Chose this for my husband's 60th Birthday. The hostess, the servers and gentleman that took care of refilling our water and taking away our plates which I can't remember names were the BEST! Service was outstanding. I reviewed on Open Table with names after our exoerience. I am craving their beet salad. Never had a beet salad that was so delicious. Our entire dinner experience was amazing. Can't wait to return next year! read more

Best mother daughter trips include lovely French restaurants and this was no exception. Chez Loma was so very chic and elegant. We enjoyed beautiful dishes of food and drank elegant French wine. Our waiter was so attentive and we just had the best time. There was nothing stuffy about Chez Loma. A very approachable French Restaurant. I thoroughly enjoyed my tartare and beet salad. Almost licked my salad plate. Lol This restaurant sits on Coronado Island and that alone lent itself to ensuring a special evening. After biking around the island all day we sure enjoyed our relaxing French dinner out. read more

While walking by this restaurant and checking out their menu, we met a lovely couple who was having brunch. We talked to them for about 15 minutes and then we decided to stay for brunch ourselves. We ordered the duck confit benedict and harvest salad to share. The food here was really good, as was the service. As a bonus, I made a new friend! The restaurant itself is a really cute house that was converted into a restaurant on the bottom floor. The various rooms of the house were converted to restaurant space. What used to be the garage is now a bar area with 2 tables for indoor dining. Behind the bar is an open space where the majority of the tables are for indoor dining. From the looks of it, this was formerly the living room and a bedroom. A small den is a private dining area with 2 tables. The place is really cute and they used up every room downstairs. We dined on the outdoor patio (formerly the house's front lawn that is cemented and overlaps a portion of the sidewalk). read more

Chez Loma - Beef Wellington - French Near Me - Coronado, California

Prices are high, portions pitifully small, quality just so-so. Even the bread was poor and small (and cost $5 !). A waste of $175 for two.

Went for a compay party for 17 people. The good was excelent food and offered a nice variety; something for everyone.

We were pleased to eat here for lunch on a June Sunday. The other French restaurant was not taking walk-ins. We were pleasantly surprised as how spacious the place was with plenty of seating. The breakfast and lunch menu was limited which made it easier to decide. The presentation of everything was very elegant and the tastes were on point. The server was very attentive and friendly. The only detraction was the host was in the bar area and was very boisterous. Overall a wonderful experience. read more

Took my mom here for Mother's Day brunch. The location is in a nice, quiet neighborhood and very Victorian/historic. It's also great for if you want to enjoy Coronado after you eat! The ambience feels very high end/upper class, so unless you're decked out in all your finest pearls, don't expect to receive 5 star treatment from the staff. Service left much to be desired and the food was just okay, really disappointing. Coming here you're really just paying for the vibes/location. If you're looking for a beachy brunch, I'd recommend Brockton Villa in La Jolla instead! read more

Best steak I have ever had! I've been to many steakhouses and have cooked a lot of steaks myself and none have ever been as good as this ribeye!! It was so insanely tender with amazing flavor. 10/10 would recommend. The brussel sprouts were also amazing, a sweet maple flavor to it. Service and ambiance were also perfect! Highly recommend this place. read more

We drove our son to meet up with his Friends for dinner, so while waiting for them to be done my husband and I went to this FRENCH restaurant called "CHEZ LOMA " in Coronado for our dinner. We requested to be seated outdoors 'coz we have our dog with us. I ordered the following foods: *PRETTY BLONDE COCKTAIL *FRENCH ONION SOUP *MUSSELS & FRITES *CHICKEN MILANESE *STEAK and FRIES * CREME BRÛLÉE While waiting for our food to come out, my Husband walked our dog Bambam nearby the restaurant 'coz the area is beautiful. Coronado is such a nice place, it's one of my favorite spots in San Diego. My PRETTY BLONDE COCKTAIL came and I loved it, taste like Pina colada . The FRENCH ONION SOUP had a very Thick cheese on top of it, and the soup itself was also good. For SAFFRON MUSSELS & FRIES ,the mussels were a decent size, and the fries that came with it were crisp and nicely seasoned. My Husband had STEAK and FRIES, I tasted his Steaks and it was very tender and the Fries were also crisp. I had the CHICKEN MILANESE, I loved the well seasoned breading, the arugula, and the Prosciutto, and the chicken was so good, I felt like I wanted to eat this one on a Bun :) At the end of our dinner we shared the Creme Brûlée and it was delicious, well for me any creme brûlée is delicious 'coz it's my favorite dessert :) The place is very dog Friendly, our Bambam enjoyed a few of my husband's steak and a few of my Chicken. Our server was very nice, excellent service. The location is nice and the restaurant looked like a very Cozy House. It's also near a lot of small shops and it's a walking distance to the Beach and the famous Hotel Del Coronado . Parking is a bit hard to find , especially during dinner time , so expect to make many rounds to find a parking . read more

My wife and I were Celebrating an Anniversary weekend on Coronado, and decided to try a restaurant our daughter recommended. Chez Loma did not disappoint, the service was excellent, and the food delicious. We started with the Blue Point Oysters, then my wife had the Lobster Bisque and I had the Caesar Salad, for our main course my wife had the Lobster Ravioli and I just had a craving for their Waygu Burger rather then the Filet or Halibut. Everything was delicious, would definitely recommend and return. read more

Staff was super nice... location was nice if u like old buildings. Well don't go by the prices off yelp. Plates were over $50 each. Menu was very limited. Filet mignon was tough as a rock but flavorful. Struggled to cut it, server warned us that they had a bad batch tho. Lol halibut came with 2 bites of gnocchi I was like wtf is this. And they were 2 terrible bites. I literally was like omg I am spending over 50 bucks for 2 bites of a side dish. Wow lol. Halibut was good, best part of the dish was when id take a bite and get a granual of salt. Had one drink. Spent $100 and left hungry. read more

I loved everything about my experience here. Our server Jennifer was amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Chez Loma, and I really enjoyed hearing all she had to say. Chez Loma used to be a home that was converted into the amazing restaurant it is just under 50 years ago! A truly beautiful and intimate place. I had the Chez Espresso Martini and the chilaquiles. Both we incredibly good. the martini was frothy but still smooth. The chilaquiles were excellent and beautifully plated. I added the birria to them and can't imagine ever getting it without that. The chips were seasoned and a little thicker than typically chips you see on chilaquiles. Definitely classier so the portion was not large. read more

Food and appetizer were good. We stared with escargot which was Devin, Caesar salad was yummy simple presentation. Lobster mac & cheese was yummy. For main course we ordered ribeye steak, with mash potatoes. I will say my stake had absolutely no flavor no seasoning we didn't want to say anything because the service was amazing. Hubby ordered lobster ravioli so we traded dishes he wanted the stake he added a little salt n pepper. We ended our dinner with some coffees and crème brûlée. The coffee OMG!!! So yummy! I have to say our waiter Kevin C. was Amazing!!! Keven gave us the up most excellent service, thank you Kevin. I will say the ambiance is so adorable with a touch of romance with a saxophone playing on the front porch. The manager did come to our table asked us how was our dinner, we did mention about my stake has no seasoning no flavor, not making a big deal about it because we did mention how incredible the service was and our dinner was all in all yummy. Shout out to the manager for making it right which was not needed, THANK YOU!! Definitely coming back definitely recommending Chez Loma to our family and friends. P.S. when we were first seated, the hostess seated us at a table for two near the restrooms next to the kitchen. I will say we immediately requested to be moved. To be honest, for what we pay for dinner, I don't think it's a good location to seat people for dinner. We noticed the two couples after us that were seated in that particular table also requested to be moved. Just a suggestion not a good location nor a good table to enjoy any meal. read more

Was really looking forward to a French restaurant for dinner, this hardly makes the grade. To be fair, the escargot was probably the BEST I've ever had, but from there the restaurant goes downhill. The menu was reduced due to (seasonability???) with no mention online that the menus was subject to change. I tried the 'special' which was a lamb bolognese and was adequate at best. Hubby started with Steak Tartare, which I'm a huge fan of, but this was "meh" it also was chopped into bite size pieces, rather than ground (strange - even chatted latter with the woman next to us, who also ordered it and was unimpressed). Unfortunately, I took a few days to write this review, and neither of us can recall his dinner order. I definitely would say it could have been a bad night, but I don't think we'll be back. read more

Incredible from cocktails to desert with no disappointments at each step of the evening. We were greeted warmly upon arrival and our waiter, Sam, was absolutely incredible from entree recommendations to wine. Cocktails were expertly crafted and the Elderberry old fashion was incredible. A must. Escargot appetizer and French onion soup had an authentic European vibe. Wonderful. The lobster ravioli and fresh catch, a lightly blackened Hallibut Oscar were delicious. The cinnamon bread pudding ala mode did not disappoint. Even the coffee was memorable. The restaurant is small, buzzing with happy customers. A Coronado treat. read more
