Wow! The tri-tip was absolutely mouthwatering, the macaroni balls were pure perfection, and the cauliflower with Dijon dip was unexpectedly delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection -- seriously, a flavor-packed masterpiece from start to finish. The drinks have always been on point. The views from this location are incredible. Quaint but a must visit location. read more

Dive - tri-tip meal with macaroni balls, cauliflower with Dijon sauce and pickled cucumbers. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Coronado, California

Food itself was alright. My party ordered the herb roasted chicken, chips with salsa and guacamole, calamari, chicken sandwich, and the avocado salad. Besides the chips being a little stale and the salad being a little too sour, everything was well received (the chicken for me was delicious). Our server Amaryllis was a joy, and though our order got mixed up, she was apologetic, and deeply attentive and accommodating. The chocolate lava cake was delicious, and this is coming from someone who isn't typically a chocolate fan. And the location outlooking the Del, especially at night, made this place a real treat. read more

Love this place! Pretty and relaxed vibe, right across from Hotel Del. We went on a Sunday morning/afternoon and made reservations, but didn't really need them because it wasn't crowded. The seats are ultra comfy, we got the little couch corner near the music. The food was yummy, we got the egg plate and the French toast. We also tried the sangrias, I got a mocktail and they were both tasty. The food and drinks are yummy, and not heavy. The perfect combo we wanted and by the beach. Found parking not too far away, and it's easy to find. We just took the stairs up. The waitress was very friendly and the service was great. Grab brunch there and then head over to the Del to explore. Will definitely be back. read more

Dive - Courtney was a wonderful server and hostess! Our new bestie! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Coronado, California

From the moment we walked into The Dive, every detail feels thoughtfully curated from the cocktails to the food and the service. We ordered the fish tacos and it was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The seafood was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the flavors were bright, balanced, and unforgettable. The cocktails were equally amazing. Their Dutchess is a must try it was so refreshing, and perfectly mixed. Our server was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed excited for us to try their favorites, which made the whole night feel extra special. Can't wait to come back!! read more

The Dive caught our eye on the way to our hotel and we had to take a peek! We had Mitchell as our server and he exceeded our expectations. He was very funny, welcoming, kind and personable from the second we sat down, and answered all of our questions! The espresso martini and matcha martini were delicious, we will be back (also the chocolate dessert and hot tea ensemble made our night!!) s/o mother Theresa read more

Perfect spot for a relaxed but elevated experience! Loved how this hidden gem of a location was slightly separated from the more impacted parts of Orange Ave. in Coronado. The rooftop outdoor setting puts you in a vibey "days-gone-by" mood and inspires you to stay a while. Really cool to read about the history of the space and to see the decorative nods to it's earlier era. The service was genuinely attentive and welcoming....and make sure not to miss the yellowtail crudo! read more

Been here twice, have had the lunch/appetizer menu both times. The food is ridiculously good, especially the sliders. Drinks are delicious, service is great, love the location. Highly highly recommend. read more

Amazing spot. A must go if you are in the area. Shout out to Rachel and her crew for top service and overall experience. Will definitely be going back! read more

First: this place is amazing, great vibe, great view, very comfortable. Service: maybe everyone is new, we got wrong menus, lack of knowledge of food being served, inexperienced staff, one of the people in our group asked for a cappuccino and he didn't know what that was, so he asked for American coffee, the server didn't know if they had that, said he would check and never returned. Lastly they completely forgot all of our desert. Food: overall it was good, we were all satisfied with what the had with the exception of the potatoes, they were so over seasoned they we not editable, we had a mountain of potatoes on every plate that none could eat. Conclusion: would definitely be back and I understand they are new but training is in order, hopefully they figure it out soon read more

went here on a slow afternoon and everything took forever! right off the bat, the hostess took a long time trying to figure out where to seat us even though half the restaurant was empty and the tables didn't fill up by the time we left (and as a hostess myself for 2 years it seemed like she didn't really know what she was doing). the hostess was also our server at first (but then someone else started serving us eventually which made for a confusing experience) and overall it took a long time to get our food/drink orders in after we sat down. we eventually ordered chips and guac plus 4 entrees; the chicken sandwich, shrimp tacos, and burger; the chips and guac didn't come to us after about 25 minutes of waiting for our appetizer so we requested to cancel it at that point because we wanted to enjoy it before our mains and got a little bit of resistance/attitude from the hostess/server about cancelling. the entrees took about 35 minutes to finally get to us, and one of the shrimp tacos came out a few minutes later which was inconvenient because we all wanted to eat together. the food also came to our table a bit lukewarm which was frustrating given how long we had to wait. and it was not busy at all so i don't know what caused so many delays. the deck is beautiful and the restaurant has a lot of potential, but service and efficiency definitely need some improvement. read more

I really like this rooftop bar. Really cool vibe. Music is actually background music so you can have a conversation within your party without yelling at each other. Nice view of the Del and some of the beach. Cool view of the sunset. Cozy atmosphere. Glass windows to block the wind. Food was good. French fries were the best part of the meal. Service was friendly. read more

Triedto call them for half an hour finally got through. Seems the hotel has not given the restaurant their own line. Tried then to convince the waitron to extend the breakfast time to 11:30 and let me pre-order as I had heard the eggs Benedict was great. She checked and advised they had just changed over to10:30 closing breakfasts so could not extend it further. I advised that these are startup issues that can create problems for a new business and need to get fixed fast. Photos and promo are flashy but where is the system that can deliver it for wealthy but demanding customers? Needless to say I went elsewhere...and told my buddies at the Coronado Beach Resort next door that they should not recommend them yet. read more

Food was very underwhelming. Got the 2 Shrimp tacos with 1 was with 3 pieces of shrimp and the other with 6 pieces & full of cabbage and onion. The calamari was not bad but was place on a bed of "crispy noodles" that taste like dried pasta. Tried ordering the Capri Cream (Matcha drink) was told it's off the menu. The ambiance was okay, elevator music playing throughout the rooftop got bored while waiting for drinks. Waiter was nice but has no attention to detail, he didn't bring cocktails like requested. There's definitely room for improvement. Not everything off Tik Tok is worth trying, lesson learned. read more

Beautiful view of the San Diego Bay and Hotel Del Coronado. Drinks were well crafted and Oscar was one of the best servers we've had in a while. Highly recommend for Brunch. read more

Beautiful view of the lights at the Del Coronado from this rooftop bar. Our cocktails were unique and delicious especially with an extra shot of vodka.

I truly had the best experience at The Dive. Service was really good and attentive. I had the french fries to start and the fish tacos which were so fresh and yummy.

Absolutely Outstanding! From the moment we walked in, it was clear this restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine--and that's all thanks to Rachel, the manager, and her phenomenal team. Rachel's presence is warm, professional, and effortlessly confident. You can tell she leads by example. She checked in with us personally during our visit--not in a rushed or rehearsed way, but with genuine care and hospitality. It's rare to see a manager so hands-on, so invested in both the staff and the guest experience. The entire crew mirrored Rachel's energy--friendly, attentive, and clearly proud of their work. Service was seamless, food came out perfectly timed, and every staff member we interacted with was kind and accommodating. You could tell they respect and enjoy working under Rachel's leadership, and it shows in every detail. Fernando & Mia were very hospitable! In an industry where great service can make or break a night out, Rachel and her crew deliver nothing short of excellence. Can't wait to come back! read more

I visited Dive expecting a fun and enjoyable time, but my experience with the rude bartender was incredibly disappointing. From the moment I arrived, the bartender seemed disinterested and unfriendly. I expected more but was sadly disappointed. Seems to be a common issue with the bar staff read more

Took some friends from out of town here on 4/27/25 right when it opened in the morning. We just pulled up to have drinks since everyone was still full from breakfast down the street. Drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. The staff was amazing from the moment we walked through the lobby and during our entire stay at Dive. The young fella at the Valet on our way out was very professional and friendly. The space is beautiful and has many different styles of seating. The sun came out and the views were gorgeous. Everyone was very nice to my dog and just made us feel very welcomed. I have told many people about this place and will definitely return soon for food this time. Keep up the great work!! read more

Wow! The bartender really knows how to get you coming back for their spicy margs. The peppers were muddled and delicious. The tequila perfect for our great sunny day on their roof. I believe there was another hotel here before. It's been a while since I've been on the island and this place looks brand new. Villa Capri before??? There is a sign behind the bar that says as much. Any who, everyone was chill and service forward with their recommendations. We were really hungry, and this dive (lol) did not disappoint. You MUST get the shishito peppers, the crab toast and the grilled sausage. The next time we're down in San Diego and visit Coronado Island, DIVE will be hit up again. read more

Absurd.... my friend and I are embarrassed and appalled after being ridiculed in front of guests... my friend happens to be from Hawaii, and the bartenders thought this was a right of passage to embarrass him and question the legitimacy and authenticity of his state issued id. It caused a scene where we both stuck out like sore thumbs. If you want good service and good food. Go down the street to Mcpees. Coming from a local, trust me. read more

Food choices were exquisite and service excellent and attentive! The pricing was appropriate for the location and the views were great of the ocean and bay! read more

Upon arrival, with reservations we were ignored by the staff. The manager eventually approached and provided us with seating options. The view from the hotel were amazing and relaxing The server took our offer in just a few minutes. Drinks were prompt and good. Our plates took over an hour to arrive Both the sliders and lobster toast were very good. Fries great. Getting and paying tab were a little clumsy. Had to ask for credit card to be returned I will most likely go back, hopefully the service improves read more

Delicious food. Well designed and conveniently close to the Hotel Del and the beaches.

Called to ensure there was space available at the bar and they gentleman we spoke to said yes and to come on in. Greeted by the woman upon entering the bar was not welcoming and said "hmm that's weird" when we told her what had happened. Proceeded to sit us in a corner. The whole time the people were staring at us and giving us looks. There was no sense of urgency in anything besides getting us out. In simple terms, don't come here if you are a person of color. Terrible and unwelcoming atmosphere. read more

Enjoyed shrimp tacos, roasted cauliflower, live music & the view. Staff was courteous , but not too intrusive. It was a good night.

Okay so we are locals and have tried it twice. First time I didn't rate because I figured hey they are new and working out their stuff. That day it was a week day and it took time even though there were maybe 5 people there. Today we brought friends hoping since it was a Saturday it would be spot on. We only stopped in for a drink and it wasn't too crowded. We ordered 4 drinks, our waitress was sweet but we had 2 bottles of water before our drinks were brought. I went to the bathroom at one point and the bar tender and 2 waitresses were chatting as I went in and as I left not doing anything, just chatting at the end of the bar. Again, our waitress super kindly came up to us and said "hopefully your drinks will be out soon." I didn't get her name but she had curly brown hair. I ordered the exact same drink today but it was purple, the first time it was not. A friend ordered the Bloody Mary and it was bad. Husband got a 4/10 old fashion. 1 star for view and 1 star for our kind waitress. This place needs a push to get going and I'm hoping to see that happen. Sadly can't recommend. read more

omg this place is amazing!! so cute and drinks were amazing! literally the cutest new hot spot in sd. a must try for a date night or group of friends! perfect for bites and drinks with an iconic view of hotel del and the water. I'm obsessed! will be going back immediately. service was amazing and such a nice staff. easily the best spot in Coronado hands down. quick walk from the del and the beach. read more

I'd like to review the rooftop bar! I had such a great experience here with my fiancé. The staff were so nice and helpful. When we arrived at the rooftop it was so beautiful, relaxing, elegant but cool. We came on a weekday, Thursday. Courtney immediately greeted us, appearing both welcoming and inviting upon the elevator doors. She was truly an example of service I would willing to any to come back too. We had the lemon crab toast and it was AMAZING. I wish I would have gotten another round . They do not skimp out! We also had tap beers and a tequila old fashion. This experience was above my expectations and I can't wait to come back and show my family. Thank you! I enjoyed my time here and the staff working was so nice! From the valet guy directing us to the correct floor, to the staff at the bar thank you. Because of your service I would like to come back and stay here and will be recommending it to my friends! read more

To preface, I don't really leave reviews but I had to because of how spectacular this place is. The fish tacos were to die for. The place is just absolutely breathtaking being a rooftop and viewing the sunset. Lastly, Fernando went above and beyond to ensure we were attended to and the drinks he made us was absolutely phenomenal. Definitely recommend and would love to comeback again some time! read more

Ummm what? This place is very odd. SUPER slow bartender. Tried to pawn off a watery cold brew in a glass as an espresso martini. They were out of everything we wanted and nothing we ordered was spectacular. Dive is really not making the splash Coronado was hoping for. read more

I'm excited to bring my friends here for a night out! My girlfriends and I haven't had a night out in a while and we will definitely be coming back! I had the sliders and am excited to try the fish tacos next! read more

Stopped by the dive in coronado while visiting San Diego and had a great experience. Rachel, the manager, was excellent, professional, and friendly.
