Booked this place through resy ", had no idea it existed. It is tucked away between a restaurant and event space in Coronado and it is a little hidden gem. I chose this as a date night, for my husband and I and we invited another couple. I wish I reviewed it further after finding it on resy. They only serve wine and my husband does not like wine at all, however I love it so I wasn't too opposed to it. The food was amazing and tasted so fresh. We ordered the beef and blue fin tartare and the cilantro and whatever spread on the bread made it taste very herby which I liked. The burrata and bread were delicious, the burrata was so creamy. The shrimp and melon salad was amazing and tasted refreshing. The place is quite small, but that also made service really great, everyone was so attentive. read more

This spot is right on beautiful Coronado Beach, making it the perfect place to enjoy fresh seafood with a view. We were craving oysters and saw they have daily specials, so we had to check it out. The space is small but charming, with minimalist decor. Once happy hour starts, this place fills up fast, so get there early! The oysters were fresh and delicious, but the scallop completely stole the show for me. It was incredibly succulent, sweet, and tasted so fresh. Definitely a fun happy hour spot that I'd come back to! read more

The atmosphere feels like the cheapest ikea furniture. The food was mediocre and generally flavorless (I had oysters- questionably fresh- scallops, bread, potato croquettes and crab and corn salad). There was a table of two moms and their 11-12 year old boys who spent the entire time screaming and running and being generally annoying- I was literally as far away as you could get, but sound carries in the ones warehouse- that definitely negatively imapcted the experience, but even without that I don't want to spend $25 for an appetizer in an ikea warehouse. I had very high hopes but I'd never return. read more

Had a delightful time at this adorable place on the main street. Easily missed when walking by since it's just a door with a small table outside next to a fire station which was more eye catching -at least for me. Service was friendly from beginning to end. Seated quickly, first seating so everything was perfectly set up and clean. Love the feel of this restaurant, the simplicity reminds me of cafes in France. Oysters were on point and quick, raw scallop makes for a great pic, and crab toast is worth ordering multiples! I skipped the carbs by substituting lettuce for toast. And definitely squeeze the lemon all over your seafood, makes a huge difference. Parking is always "fun" in this area, but if you find one, stick around after and walk around the area. Great view of downtown San Diego across the street. read more

Had a reservation for 2 @ 5pm. Came in a little earlier and was seated. Super unassuming little place. Not many tables and feels family run? We didn't realize they had oyster hour 5-630 pm from Wednesday - Sunday! Really cool, def took advantage and ordered oysters ($1.50 each!) + bread and butter to start. For mains, we got steak frites and the salmon. I didn't catch the server saying both would be served medium well, but I wish I had cos I think I would've preferred my salmon a little more cooked. Portion sizes are fit for one person. Next time, I think we'll explore more of the oyster hour options to try! read more

I had an amazing meal here. The food was complex and had so many flavors that all work well together! The Calabrian chilis were a small side item on the burrata, the tartare AND the grilled prawns, even then I still couldn't get enough of them. Spicy but not overwhelming made the dishes extra exciting. Each dish was delicious in its own way. Nothing too heavy and I washed it all down with a bottle of white wine. The service was great too. A warm welcome and great recommendations. Hospitality was top notch. The decor here is very unassuming, all very simple and I love it. White walls and simple tables, Let the food speak for itself. I don't want decor distracting me from these amazing dishes. Highly recommend eating here. read more

I really wanted to love this place, but I left a bit disappointed and still hungry. When I walked in, it wasn't very crowded, and I came during happy hour specifically for the oysters. I ordered the cauliflower and the steak frites as well. Despite the light crowd, the server barely checked on me after dropping off the food, and it was hard to get her attention when I needed anything since she was mostly in the back. The oysters were amazing, but the cauliflower was soggy with no crunch. The steak frites was actually really good, but it took way too long to arrive. For the price, the portions were also on the smaller side. I even considered ordering more food, but with how long everything took, I didn't want to wait even longer. What really bothered me was the slow pace of service. I ordered before another table, yet they received their food first, which was frustrating. I ended up spending more time waiting than actually eating. Overall, I'd only recommend coming here for the oysters as they were the highlight. But the service was slow even though the place wasn't busy. read more

Jolie - Steak frites - Seafood Near Me - Coronado, California

Oh man, what a gem I stumbled in to on Sunday afternoon and all thanks to their "oyster hour". What a special little unassuming spot that highlights the best of California cuisine. With $1.50 oysters, it's almost like a no lose situation at this point so honestly, give it a try. That being said, oysters aren't the star of the show and that's crazy coming from someone who can eat 3 dozen oysters in one seating. Get the crab toast, it's magical. Get the happy hour burger, the sesame seed bun is the winner. The most memorable part of the meal?? The squash salad dish that was cooked to perfection. This was something I couldn't stop going back and honestly, I wanted to lick the plate clean. I would be mistaken though if I didn't mention the service. I truly wish I remembered her name, but she was the only one working that day (her name started with a K). She was so great and handled the whole floor like a pro. She's a good one and she deserves a raise for sure. In conclusion, go here and ask questions later. Promise you won't regret it. read more

An intimate dining experience in Coronado - it isn't a super fancy, aesthetic type restaurant. But it has heart and the food was good. We got the oysters and a glass of wine to start. The oysters were on the brinier side, so if you prefer a more creamy taste, this might be a skip. We also got the bread and the potato croquettes. Both were delicious, but the bread really got us! They had two different butters, one herb and one that was more red peppery. They paired well with the brioche. We ended with the steak frites which were good, but the steak was definitely a smaller portion than we thought. Not the most welcoming when first entering. I believe the host who greeted us is also the owner. Our waitress was amazing! Super attentive and very friendly. A good spot to try out if you're in the area. read more

Absolutely wonderful! From start to finish. We enjoyed every moment dining here. From the view, to the ambience to the delicious food! We sat outside and it is definitely a must visit! The service was great and we truly enjoyed our time here. The only dish we were not a fan of was the ROASTED BEET SALAD. The beets were so yummy, and all the ingredients were great, however...the bitterness of the arugula (which I eat often) overpowered the entire salad, imo. If they mixed in additional greens and or added a drizzle of honey or a balsamic reduction, it would've been perfect! What we ended up doing was putting the side of berries (that my fiancé requested as his side dish with his steak, instead of garlic fries and asparagus), and added it into the salad, which complimented his steak, nicely. read more

I picked this spot bc of its resy/amex benefit. The restaurant is super cute and cozy. Our waitress was friendly and the wines we each ordered were all great (I don't believe they have any cocktails). I was a bit bummed the fish entrees didn't come with any greens or accompaniments. The melon and shrimp salad was fresh and had great flavor. Also, the dessert menu was a bit limited (they only had 1 option and the waitress even gave recommendations for dessert options in the area). read more

We recently visited Jolie in Coronado, and I want to start with the positives because there were definitely some. The oysters and scallops during happy hour were excellent--fresh, well-prepared, and one of the best values on the menu. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was a major disappointment. I ordered the Swordfish Al Pastor with chipotle corn and pineapple salad ($40). If you're going in hungry, don't expect this dish to fill you up. The portion of swordfish was surprisingly small, and the fish itself was dry and overcooked. We also ordered the fish sliders, which were mostly bread with very little fish, and they didn't even come with a side. Considering the price, the value just wasn't there. The atmosphere also left us scratching our heads. It almost felt like dining in someone's converted garage rather than a polished restaurant. The restaurant seems to be aiming for a Michelin-style dining experience, but the execution doesn't match the ambition. There didn't appear to be any dress standards for the staff. Our server was wearing jogging pants and a tank top, another employee was walking around in a skin-tight soccer jersey, and the kitchen staff didn't appear to be wearing traditional chef uniforms. While uniforms don't determine the quality of a meal, presentation and professionalism contribute to the overall dining experience. Service was also slow throughout the evening. Overall, aside from the outstanding happy hour oysters and scallops, the food was overpriced, portions were underwhelming, and the overall experience didn't justify the cost. I really wanted to like Jolie and support another Coronado restaurant, but I left disappointed and still hungry. I'll happily return for happy hour seafood, but I wouldn't order the entrées again. read more

Small location, big on flavor. I tried the oysters, scallops, crab toast, melon and shrimp salad, and loup de mer. Every bite was loaded with flavors, making for one of the best dining experiences I've had in recent times. The vibe here is European. French and Spanish influences, but wholly unique at the same time. Pricing is very reasonable. Our waiter was great with his service and suggestions. I will be back. read more

So worth it! We had such a great dinner there with friends. The place used to be butcher shop and they kept the decor very minimalistic which was fine. The seats could use cushions since the ones we sat on were metal. Again, not a big deal but could elevate the experience. The inside is intimate, they can only hold 34 people in the restaurant. They could use more baffles to help with the sound. Even with this, I am giving them 5 stars. The food was amazing and the staff were great. There were only two people and they were on it. Not sure how they serve the beautiful and amazing food they do in their tiny kitchen but wow. There were four of us and below is what we ordered. Scallops and oysters - so fresh and the sauce the scallops were in was light and refreshing. Brussel sprouts- the BEST! The sausage with it was fantastic and they were perfectly cooked. Ribeye- not on the menu. Very tender. The sauce was good but a bit salty. To be fair, we don't use a lot of salt on any of our food and our friends loved it. Loup de Mer - Mediterranean Sea bass- FANTASTIC and the presentation was amazing. Pork chop- holy cow! Tender and flavorful and so yummy. Dessert- ice cream with olive oil and a sauce I had never had before as salt. It was so simple yet so scrumptious!. I would 100% return!!! So, so good. Note- corkage fee is $25. read more

This place was great! First off it's a cozy space and isn't glamorous but the food speaks for itself. They have a killer wine menu esp the French wines.

The loup de mer, crab toast and crispy cauliflower were def my favs. Everything was packed with flavor and nice portion sizes. We will def be coming back here!! read more

Jolie delivered one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. Every dish was exceptional, with the Peruvian Scallops being truly to-die-for and the Burrata equally impressive. It felt like stepping into an episode of Top Chef, where every course was creative, beautifully executed, and absolutely delicious. Each plate was a chef's kiss.

Coronado Island in San Diego is a wondrous community where you can feel both a part and detached from the city. Taking one of the highest highways I've ever been to reach this island, the views from all corners of Coronado can be spectacular, especially for romantic moments when the sun rises and sets. However, usually in small communities on the water the price for entertainment and food can be tremendous. Luckily, there is a restaurant who knows you're looking for delicious seafood without destroying your mood and wallet. Let me tell you why Jolie is worth checking out at a very certain time. Jolie is located just a few minutes walk away from the ferry stop in Coronado. It sits neatly next to a facade of what looks to be a historical building. At first when you walk in you think the decor would be more ornate, but inside is a very minimalist presentation. Concrete floors with gray walls, a simple counter near the kitchen, and large steel shelves against one wall to hold wines and supplies makes this space feel very much like it's more pop up than permanent restaurant. It's also such a shame Jolie is so close to the water but the only natural light coming in is from the front entrance. A space so open as Jolie's dining room floor would benefit from more of the warm natural light coming through. However, ambience might be one thing but the best part of Jolie is the happiest of all happy hours: Oyster Hour. On Wednesdays to Sundays from 4 PM to 6 PM Jolie has a menu allowing you to enjoy a great selection of seafood at discounted prices. We're talking a chef's selection of different oysters for $1.50 each or Peruvian scallops at $3.50 each. Their crab toast, packed to the brim with crab meat, can be enjoyed for $17. Even hot items like Filet o Fish sliders or their house burger is available for discount during Oyster Hour. And if you're wondering if they skimp on the portions because the price is low then look no further than my photos. You can see they are not petite bites and each are presented beautifully. They do have other items on their full menu such as steak frites or Bluefin tuna and coming during Oyster Hour might give you the resolve to try these items since you saved so much. After eating what could only be described as a fisherman's catch worth of seafood it was satisfying to see my wallet only slimmed down instead of exhausted to zero. The service was kind and felt similar to what you might experience during lunch time at a bistro near the water in New York. I know, very specific, but what I'm trying to say is service was perfectly fitting for this joint. If you do decide to come to Coronado and looking for a delicious meal to capture the essence of this community I recommend coming to Jolie during Oyster Hour and eat to your heart's content. Then go for a walk by the waters to settle your fullness down. Cheers! read more

We got the oysters during their oyster hour. Great value! I got the peach tomato salad with whipped feta, outrageous flavor! My husband got the halibut, that was also an amazing flavor profile. We got the ice cream with olive oil, salt, and a balsamic glaze. Everything was unbelievable. Highly recommend! The service was great and the ambiance was intimate. read more

My husband and I celebrated our 11th anniversary here, and it was such a great experience--surprising in the best way. We started with the melon shrimp salad, which we found out recently won an award--and it definitely deserved it. For our mains, my husband had the steak frites and I had the tuna steak. Both were excellent--cooked perfectly and really flavorful. Wine list was also well thought out and I was excited to see many different regions represented. The service stood out just as much as the food. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and seemed to genuinely care about making sure we had a good time. They really knew the menu and helped guide us toward great choices. Special thanks to Jack for his knowledge and great service. We'll definitely be back and would recommend this place to anyone. Just keep in mind the menu might change, so what you see in reviews may not always be available--but don't let that stop you. Everything we had was fantastic. read more

Decided to book this spot since we visited the Hotel Del for the Oz Light show. Had a reservation for a party of 4 on Friday and made it for happy hour. We ordered quite a few dishes to share: to start - 6 oysters, crudo, parker rolls, potato croquet, crab toast, wagyu with bone marrow and fried cauliflower. The server said she would space the dishes out for us then we ordered. Also ordered steak frites, prawns, sea bass and brussel sprouts. They were out of the tomahawk for 2, wasn't expecting that! Unfortunately all the food came out warm, crispy cauliflower was not crispy, crudo slices so tiny, the best dish was the wagyu/bone marrow and prawns. The dinner took about 2.5 hours which was way too long. The interior was very simple, we felt we were in their storage room and not a restaurant. The servers were nice and attentive. Rounding my rating to 2.5 for Jolie wasn't for us as we paid over $300. read more

Neat intimate dining experience in the heart of Coronado featuring small bites from an experienced chef but prices were just a bit too high for the portions offered. Tried a number of dishes including potato croquettes (nicely crisp on the outside and with a nice marinara sauce but priced at $18 for 4 balls), bread ($10, would be nice if it was included given but was very tasty), and gnocchi ($30, felt this was fairly priced given the portion was decent), pistachio ice cream ($15 or $18 if I remember correctly, 3 scoops of regular vanilla ice cream with some pistachio on top) The restaurant is quite small and has a nice ambiance. The waitstaff are superb. However overall just felt it wasn't spectacular given the price point, dishes were good but not outstanding and very expensive for small portions. Still leave a bit hungry after spending quite a bit. If more of a vibes/ambiance/fine dining experience person this is a good place for you, if more of a foodie there are better options read more

Quality of seafood, meats and vegetables, the creativity, bread (oh that bread!!). Second, the staff is just the absolute best!

Look, I got the chef's choice (7 courses) and did the wine pairing. Normally I would take a picture of dessert, but frankly, that 7th serving of wine had me acting a fool and forgetting that my camera eats first. I loved this place. I loved that it was so plain and deli-like. I loved that you could watch the chefs cook behind what looked like an ice cream counter. I loved the gen Z-hipster vibe servers. It was just great. The only 2 notes that husband and I had: 1. The fish (was it halibut?) was under seasoned or needed a bunch more sauce or something. It felt slightly unfinished. 2. The pork shoulder needs a different color sauce. Like white. It tasted great but looking at it reminded me of grandma's meatloaf. Which sort of killed the fine dining vibe in my opinion. I'm giving 5 stars still because it was all very edible and just needs minor tweaks. My husband and I agreed that if you could get those two dishes figured out you will have Michelin looking at you. read more

I went to Jolie for a 4pm Sunday dinner, expecting a chic date-night spot based on the online photos. Instead, I walked into a dining room that looked more like "Costco meets backyard catering", wine bottles perched on wire shelving, mismatched tables and chairs, and an open kitchen with a very casual vibe. Not exactly candlelit romance. But then came Catherine, our server, and she completely flipped the script. What Jolie lacked in ambiance, she more than made up for with warmth, thoughtfulness, and spot-on recommendations. She was attentive without hovering and genuinely elevated the whole experience. Food-wise: happy hour oysters and scallops were excellent, the house crudo was good but forgettable, and the shrimp + melon salad was a surprising star, fresh, creamy, refreshing with a crunch. We closed with vanilla ice cream dressed up with syrup, olive oil, and salt. Simple, nice, but nothing that'll change your life. Overall, Jolie feels like a restaurant still finding its identity. The food is playful, the potential is real, but right now the true gem is Catherine. read more

Jolie - Chicken Schnitzel - Seafood Near Me - Coronado, California

Wanted to start off by commending Jack for his one-man service from seating guests, clearing tables, keeping glasses full, and delivering plates to the table. He was friendly, attentive, and was overall a good vibe. In addition, the kitchen's ability to produce the food they do with such a minimalist setup is pretty impressive. Decor is also very minimalistic. Not much artwork on the walls giving it a soft opening vibe. We didn't see any liquor but we did take advantage of the Osyter Hour Rose and Bordeaux. We essentially tried everything on their Oyster Hour menu that runs Wednesday to Sunday from 3p-6pm. Notable dishes were: *peruvian scallops- loved the coconut vinaigrette *potato croquettes- hot and crispy on the outside, warm on the inside, good pesto and vodka sauce *crab toast- lots of jumbo lump crab, loved the hot sauce it was served with *filet-o-fish sandwiches- V reminiscent of McDonalds *kumamoto oysters- small, sweet with typical accoutrements A couple minor issues we encountered was that some of the portion sizing was inconsistent and items were missing from the dishes. Croquettes- Order was supposed to come with 4 but our two orders only came with 7 (we were a party of 7) and later came to find out they ran out of them but we were never told (we were the first party there). Caviar was missing from the crab toasts and we weren't told until we asked. We later found out they ran out as well. Crispy cauliflower portion seemed scant and it appeared the couscous was missing. Jack did attempt to make it right by offering a free bottle of Rose, which we appreciated. Would say a solid 3.5 overall. Maybe hearing about what was and wasn't available from the jump would've helped set our expectations with the portion sizing and missing items. read more

Jolie is a must try! We started with the crab toast and the bread & butter. Wow! The bread was perfectly toasted, soft and flavorful. It was paired with the most delicious pesto and chili whipped butter. The crab toast was creamy and tasty. For the main dish I ordered the Steak Frites which was the most amazing wagyu I've ever had! It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. My boyfriend had the chicken schnitzel. The chicken was juicy and perfectly cooked. Over all we had an amazing experience. Service was amazing. Ambiance was relaxed and moody. I will definitely be back! Thank you Jolie for the amazing experience . Until next time. read more

We made a reservation for this restaurant without looking at photos of the interior, so when we walked in, I was initially surprised. The interior is not decorated like restaurants normally are. However, we were warmly greeted by Jack who was our host and waiter. Upon chatting with Jack, we learned that this location used to be a butcher shop and that they plan on making renovations soon. Despite the interior aesthetics, the food tasted like it belongs in a fine dining restaurant. Jack gave his recommendations for his favorites from each category. We ordered: -Bluefin Tuna Tartare ($23): I highly recommend this dish. Every bite of tuna, which was plated on top of a buttermilk vinaigrette, paired perfectly with the grilled sourdough. -Crab Toast ($26): The jumbo lump crab, caviar, masago, and tarragon were already plated on the toast. This was delicious, and I would get it again. -Two oysters ($3.50 each): This was tasty but a bit small. -Two Peruvian Scallops ($5 each): These came with coconut vinaigrette, masago, and pickled Thai chili. I really enjoyed this starter. -Pork Chop ($42): I usually get pork chop that arrives all in one large piece. Instead, this came in slices, and the texture was so tender like pork belly. It came with cheesy semolina and arugula salad. -Ice Cream: We were given a vanilla ice cream dish with pistachios and olive oil since we were celebrating a special occasion. This was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Jack remained attentive and friendly throughout our whole meal. He checked in to see how we were doing throughout the meal, and perfectly timed when to bring out the next round of dishes. The couple next to us mentioned that they always get the chef's course, so we're planning to try that the next time that we're back. Thank you Jolie and Jack for such a delicious dining experience. read more

Tonight was our first time here at Jolie. For starters, we enjoyed six delicious Kumamoto Oysters. For dinner, we tried the melon & shrimp salad and the pork belly. The salad was nicely blended with the sweet melony flavor, shrimp and a little kick from sliced jalapeño peppers. The pork belly was crisp and plump topped with fried/baked kale. Wow! Loved the meal with glasses ordered and white wines recommend by our server, Jack. Next time, we wanna try the "Trust the Chef" meal with wine pairings. read more

Jolie had one of the most delicious meals I've had recently and it was super easy to snag a reservation!! It's such a charming and cozy spot for a date or girls night. The kitchen is kind of connected to the seating area, and it's a fun ambiance! I wish I got a glass of wine while I was there. It looked like they had such a nice and unique selection! Some highlights of the meal were the Pan Seared Gnocchi and Crispy Pork Belly. I had never tried rabbit before, so loved having that opportunity with the gnocchi! It was really creamy and rich. The Crispy Pork Belly was amazing because of the textures and mix of savory and sweet flavors! The Beef Tartare was nice too, but the tomatoes stole the show from the other flavors. So happy we tried this spot, really hoping it gets the hype it deserves!! read more
