It's an order at the counter with a small seating area inside and a nice patio outdoors. Purchase & provided a number. Not only do that have their famous lobster rolls, but they also have additional signature sandwiches, specialty soups, salads and home made cole slaw as just one of their side options. Most people here order the classic lobster roll as did I. That said, you can also customize your roll, plus they offer shrimp and crab choices too! Not to long of a wait, but keep in mind ALL orders are made "fresh to order", so if they're busy it can take a little longer. Presentation was nice and sandwiches are served with a slice of fresh lemon that brightens the taste. The highlight was the decadent butter fried roll. It was warm, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can taste the butter in each bite. They provide fresh cold water that you can serve yourself which was welcome with the warm weather. Additionally, they have soda and lemonade. It could be considered a bit pricey, but everything I was eating on my San Diego trip near the beach is. Service was friendly and they brought my meal to my table which was nice. Would definitely go again. Note-There are two other locations in the San Diego area. If you have to use the restroom there is not one inside their establishment, it's a few buildings down and they will provide you a key and directions.

This place was so good we went three times during our stay…read more The first time, we had drinks at the bar. Ben, the bartender, was very attentive and made great suggestions. The next visit, we had the cold lobster roll with fries, blackened fish and chips. The lobster roll was so good! The buttered roll was delish! The blackened catfish was SUPER spicy! My husband loved it. On our last visit, we had the Manhattan clam chowder, the New England clam chowder, prawns & linguine, and the bouillabaisse. The chowders were so good. I could have just eaten those and been happy. If you can't decide between the two, they will give you half and half - mixed. The prawns were HUGE and tender. The sauce on the linguine was light and bursting with herby goodness. My husband loved the bouillabaisse which was full of fish, scallops, mussels, etc. The restaurant sits in Glorietta Bay which is just across the street from the Hotel del Coronado. It's very coastal in feel and decor. Hannah and Alec were our servers on both of the dinner nights. Both were excellent servers.

Happy find!! Originally the hubby and I wanted to try a restaurant down the street. However, they…read moreswitched to reservations only for the day. So we looked up nearby restaurants and found The Henry. So glad we did. Our first time here and it won't be our last.... The hostess was very kind and welcoming. She took our name down right away. We waited under 10 minutes to be seated. We opted to sit inside. Very nice vibe. Our waiter Enrique was AMAZING. Super attentive and a true asset to this restaurant. Our food came out quickly. Everything was so flavorful. You could really taste the quality. The hubby even got a tea to go. TOP NOTCH!!

I ordered the following below: *Korean Prime Skirt Steak: 5/5 - I asked for my skirt steak medium rare and man was it cooked so well. Underneath was fried rice,bok choy, veggies and a nice creamy Korean sauce . The sauce really complimented the steak and fried rice really well. I was very pleased on how the steak was juicy and tender ! *Braised Short Rib: 2/5 - Don't get me wrong i love me some good braised short ribs, however, these were very disappointing. Most of the meat was covered by fat, the portion size was insanely small considering its an entree. Not much veggies or sides to compliment this meal very well, definitely need to redo this dish. *Pressed Yellowtail Sushi: 5/5 - Honestly the yellowtail was so fresh ! It had a hint of spiciness but also a hint of sweetness. The sushi was very fresh and almost tasted like a ceviche mix. *Parmesan Truffle Fries: 3/5 - Your average truffle fries. Nothing fancy about them. I really wish they were crispier. The ambiance was very nice and welcoming. You are introduced to basically nice oak wood tables everywhere. The booth we sat in was pretty comfy. The service was exceptional. It is nice to know you are getting some quality dishes, others need some refinement.

Oh man, what a gem I stumbled in to on Sunday afternoon and all thanks to their "oyster hour". What…read morea 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.

Easily missed when walking by…read moresince 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.

Our go to is always the char grilled octopus there is a brand new list of signature cocktails and if you like a martini would recommend their special cocktail that came with 3 oysters! what really blew us away was that they printed a custom menu with our names and a special dessert! Service was excellent our servers always checked in on us and cleared the tables right away and topped of our water and made sure we had drinks flowing. They gave us a small champagne to start off the night. What a lovely touch and we will be sure to come back. One of our favorite restaurants in little Italy.

Heard about this place for so long and finally got to try it when I went as part of a bachelorette…read more The space is actually pretty large inside. We got seated right around our reservation time. For food we got the "bigger" platter which comes with a bunch of seafood (oysters, shrimp, chopped tuna, rockfish ceviche, smoked swordfish dip and crudo) and accompaniments including dips, crackers, etc. Also ordered the charred octopus, fried rice and fries. All the seafood tasted really fresh and the platter was a great variety to try a bunch of things. My favorite was the the ceviche and the swordfish dip. Nothing was overly salty either. Fried rice tasted really decadent but it was yummy. Fries were thinner cut and crispy. The only slight letdown was the octopus. Kind of chewy and a small size for the price. Drinks did take a bit to come out but it was really busy. We were able to get a couple rounds of drinks and they gave us a couple free drinks to celebrate the bachelorette.

Had a really nice dining experience at Serea Hotel Del Coronado. Made reservations the day before…read morefor a party of 3. We didn't really have any preference for seating, we were sat in their outdoor dining / patio and it was a vibe. A really really chill SD night kind of vibe. We decided to share a variety of oysters, the crispy calamari (delicious and loved the bed of arugula), greek fries (tzatziki and feta), patatas bravas, Greek style grilled chicken, and buttered pasta for the kids. Great dining experience. Good food. Amazing service.

As Coronado residents, my wife and I used to enjoy bringing out of town guests to Serea because it…read morewas once a place we were proud to recommend. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was one of the strangest and most disappointing restaurant experiences we have had in a long time. We brought a guest visiting from out of town and were honestly embarrassed by how poor the experience was from start to finish. The restaurant was only about one quarter full on a weekday evening, yet service was shockingly slow and disorganized. It started with our server fumbling through reservation lists trying to find our name, then acting annoyed when we ordered specific cocktails. At one point, he even asked if we were "old enough to drink," which came off as rude and bizarre. The first round of drinks took around 20 minutes and arrived poorly made. We then waited another 40 minutes just to place entree orders, despite barely seeing our server after appetizers arrived. Ordering a second round somehow went even worse. The server rolled his eyes, made annoyed noises, and acted inconvenienced that we were ordering more drinks at a restaurant charging premium prices. One drink, a dirty martini, took about 30 minutes and arrived with a greasy film on top from bleu cheese olives sitting in it far too long. We asked for a manager, who apologized but then asked whether we wanted sweet or dry vermouth in a dirty martini, which did not inspire much confidence. The remake came back not dirty at all and had to be remade again. After nearly two hours, our entrees finally arrived. The plates were dropped on the table without a word. The chicken and fish were passable, but the sides were awful. Cold, lifeless, and completely forgettable. The broccolini was especially bad. We complained again, and the manager offered to comp the bill. Even then, it took another long wait just to close out. I eventually handed the server $100 cash because we simply wanted to leave and still tip something despite the experience. He then shoved the check open in my face and said, "There's your bill." What made this so disappointing is that we used to love this place. It was somewhere we proudly brought visitors. Instead, we left apologizing to our guest for how uncomfortable and confusing the entire night was. We do not care about free food or comps. We care about receiving a decent dining experience at a restaurant charging $30 cocktails and premium entree prices. Serea has declined dramatically, and management needs to take a hard look at both service standards and overall execution. Do better.

The atmosphere has dim lights for that cool, classy interior. The service was attentive, professional, and delightful. There's a free serving of bread and butter. It's such a good bread roll with nice seasoning of salt and butter to add more flavor. We got crab cake and poke for our appetizers. The crab cake was moist, savory, and tasty. The poke was the fan favorite of the table as the poke was so fresh, paired well with the avocado for added umami. The wonton crisps added a crunch factor and dry texture when mixed with the poke and avocado. I ordered the salmon with a side of broccolini and Chinese sausage. The salmon was exquisite, crunchy, and so much flavor when mixed with the risotto. The broccolini had a great char, soaked up the juices from the Chinese sausage, and tasted so well together. It was so filling! For dessert, we had a key lime pie! It had a great layer of meringue on top. It felt like eating a cloud because of its soft texture. The lime had a semi-sour taste with even sweetness. Great presentation. Overall, I loved dining here and would love to come here again when in San Diego!

We were celebrating a birthday and decided on this place, we love seafood and wanted this place to…read morewow us. We started with a wedge salad, bread and a seafood tower. The seafood tower had a variety of crab, lobster, shrimp, mussels, clams, amazing oysters and periwinkle snails that none of us have ever tried before. That and the bread with crispy salt on top were the highlight of the evening. Our entrees were prawns and a ribeye with a side of butternut squash. Delicious but kinda salty. We ended the meal with a birthday pizooki style cookie topped with ice cream. The service was not great here, we couldn't get water or tea refills, and the server disappeared for very long periods of time and it was very hard to get a hold of him when we needed something. And the parking is a nightmare here, especially on a Friday night. But the seafood tower and ambiance sorta made the experience a little better.

Service was wonderful as the person taking our order kindly helped us identify low mercury seafood options due to my pregnancy. We ordered a variety of fish and seafood tacos, but the standout was the octopus taco. It was better than Oscar's bc of the charred flavor and crispiness in texture. The crab cakes were really good too, so much so that we ordered seconds and thirds! ;) Sitting outside was nice because gorgeous weather outside, but the seagulls try to steal your crab cakes so need to eat quickly. Views are beautiful though so for me it was worth the minor inconvenience. Parking can be tricky because you have to prepay in the lot and wait in line, but my husband took care of that with ease. We'd def come back for the octopus tacos and crab cakes. Next time, we'll try their soups and sandwiches too!

There is seating on the premises. While here I had the clams, avocado toast and shrimp tacos. The running theme in all the food, zero seasoning. Though the portions were nice, the food was bland. Additionally my clams tasted like someone just threw a 20oz of beer in them and let them simmer. I saved my clams for later and did reheat them with some butter and a little seasoning, it did the trick. Overall I think this is a one and done visit for me. But one persons under seasoned is another persons just right.
