Great food options - I had the beet salad and added avocado. You can't beat the view. It was a wonderful place for a decent lunch, my server was great but I don't remember her name. read more

The food was delicious and well presented and our server was very efficient. Gorgeous views sitting outside in the ocean breeze-they have heaters which our waiter lit, and fire pits. Limited menu but it gets the job done. We all had salads and they were delicious. There was a two hour time limit and a minimum of I believe $175 dollars for the two couches surrounding a fire pit. This was not an issue for us as we had a large group. Can't beat eating outside at the Hotel Del! read more

This is one of the bars/restaurants at the Hotel del Coronado. The views are gorgeous no doubt about it but the drinks are PRICEY! The service is on point though but $40 for 2 basic drinks is a bit much. We are here for a work conference so unfortunately we can not enjoy everything to it's fullest. The food looked good although we didn't order any. It's a seat yourself and they come to you kinda place. It's noisy because it's adjacent to the pool. We will be back to experience the hotel on a personal trip. The hotel is old and the carpets are extremely dated but I suppose it goes with the character of the hotel. read more

Sun Deck - Cranberry mimosa & the Hibiscus Spritz this was $40 - American Near Me - Coronado, California

Nice view but the drinks and food are overpriced! $24 for a 6 ounce glass of wine! You can find better places with the same view for less money. I will say the food was fantastic. read more

Food was amazing and the view was beautiful, we enjoyed spending Mother's Day lunch, the service was great too

Met family at Sun Deck this afternoon for lunch. It was my first time in Coronado Island. We arrived at the hotel ( which is really cool, by the way) and inquired about parking at the valet. We were told it was $35 for the first 2 hours! We decided to park elsewhere (down the street) for free. The restaurant/bar location is great, and the vibe was fun - plenty of outdoor seating, lots of people, beautiful view, and the shore just steps away. Our server did an okay job considering how busy it was, but unfortunately, the food was just not good. I ordered the fish sandwich ( which was about $30). The fish was dry, and had absolutely no flavor. It came in a ciabatta roll, which I understand is a crustier bread, but this bread was just stale. I could barely bite into it. Eventually, I just gave up and removed the fish and filling and ate it with a fork. I don't think I've ever had a more tasteless sandwich in my life. The filling consisted of sliced tomato, pickled onions, and a shredded cabbage mixture that had absolutely no moisture or seasoning to it. To make it worse, there was not a salt and pepper shaker in sight. My mom ordered an Asian chopped salad that came with no dressing. She took a few bites and chose to not take it home because it was so plain. Not one person in our party said they enjoyed their food. The fries were the only good thing. For the prices they charge, the food should be a lot better. I guess you are just paying for the location. I will definitely return to Coronado Island, and would love to stay at the hotel, I just won't be eating at Sun Deck again. read more

Sun Deck - Fish Sandwich- stale bread and dry, bland fish. - American Near Me - Coronado, California

It was a perfect day to have lunch and a cocktail with a friend. I easily found a place to park on the street and avoided paying the cost of valet. After exploring the hotel and reading up on the history of this magnificent place we walked out to this awesome restaurant overlooking the ocean. We found the perfect table, be sure to see my view pic. I had the fish sandwich and my friend had the chicken sandwich. My fish was mahi mahi and it was cooked perfectly. Crisp on outside and juicy and flaky and full of flavor. It was the best fish sandwich I ever had. The bread was delicious and the fries were yummy. My friend said her chicken sandwich was excellent. I had the tropical crush drink which was very refreshing and perfect on a warm sunny day. The staff were attentive and friendly. The price is more than most places, but hey...it's the location, location, location and worth every Penny. read more

This is definitely a prime tourist spot. Rightfully so. The view from any table is perfect on a clear day. We dropped by during the holidays so it was a mess. There's an ice skating rink that was ridiculously crowded with all the kids. We got a prime table just across from the area facing the water. Our server was nice enough to turn the heater on and place it perfectly in the middle of our table. The sun decided to come out of the clouds every now and again. The clouds were in the way, but the wind moved them every few minutes. We shared a couple appetizers so I decided to have a salad. I pulled a smart move and offered my nephew half of my salad so I could get half of his burger. It worked. I loved my Shrimp & Avocado. It's gluten free for those into that kinda thing. The next time, I'm going to pull up with enough friends so we can take over the area with the couches. read more

Gorgeous views from the sundeck on a higher floor. Sat at the bar and ordered a rum runner and hotel colada. At $22 & $23 a pop, it's super pricey but you're paying for the views. Goodseevice from the bartenders though. Wish I could afford to eat/drink here more than once a year! It's beautiful read more

First lets just say this restaurant is inside the grounds of one of the nicest resorts Ive been to and Ive been all over the world. The Sun Deck is behind the historic hotel and sits between the original hotel and the beach. There is a bar, high tops low tops and many vignettes that have a fire pit between sofa and large chairs. Many of these pods face the sunset unobstructed. We sat in one that was further back and it did not impede the view at all. We ordered an ahi tuna sandwich and the sea-bass entree. The ahi tuna sandwich came with fries and my guest proclaimed it to be perfect. Lol. My sea bass was slightly over cooked (couldn't send back as kitchen was closing at time of ordering) Even tho dry, it still was good and it came these amazing mushrooms which stole the show anyway. Delicious!!! Would return but wouldn't get the sea bass again Our server was fun, friendly and added to the experience with her fun personality. read more

Had a friend visiting from the east coast staying in Coronado.My first thought for lunch was going to tried & true The Henry But, I thought let's go for history & a view. We got the view but, all else failed. Sat outside , beautiful day with an amazing view.We ordered two fountain drinks, two Asian salads one with shrimp, one with chicken=$113 ? The salads were a hot mess of Asian noodles( thin pancit style)with one or two vegetables , no lettuce of any kind,and a bit of chicken or four shrimp.It had no flavor, hard to eat( so messy) I had a guest so I didn't complain. We paid for the view.When I went to pick up my car from valet the discounted price for eating there was $35 .... For two hours of parking.I didn't check pricing before so my fault.I would have used self parking.I must say if the food was great I wouldn't have minded the bill but, it was a HOT MESS.Go for a drink & appetizer....I felt like a trapped tourist. read more

We stopped in with a group of 8 and sat down on the deck with the couch and fire pit. Yes there is a minimum charge to sit there, but with a large group you will spend that amount anyway. We had great service and the cocktail selection was creative and also had a full bar so you could order anything you wanted. You can't beat the view of course. Excellent way to spend a few hours with friends. read more

We enjoyed a couple of drinks on the Sun Deck around early happy hour. The server was super friendly, happy and attentive. We had fries as a snack with our sparkling wine, hard kombucha and beers. The view is beautiful and sunny. Note: if you sit at the couches there is $100 minimum which is easy to achieve as prices are high as expected. Come for the view and relaxing atmosphere. Although you can get the similar view walking on the beach without the price. read more

I went to Coronado to see sunset and decided to try Sun Deck for cocktails and just enjoying the sunset view, Amanda was a great server, she is very attentive and showed genuine care even though the kitchen was about to close. I ordered Asian fries which was delicious, it comes with salad and chicken pieces with tasty sauce, comes in a big portion so it's good for sharing. Cocktails were great! Verdict: I will come back read more

Great view of the ocean and hotel del. Couches for ocean view and of the grass area along the edge were $250 spend minimum, so we sat at a table with a view of the pool because we weren't very hungry. Probably quite easy to hit that minimum because of how pricey the food and drinks were. Good tourist trap, but as a local I won't be back. Mezze plate 7/10 (wasn't a fan of some of the veggies or sauce) read more

I love this little spot. It is right by the ocean. For any tourists coming to visit Coronado it is the perfect spot to shop, eat, drink, & walk around the beach. The service & table selection were poor during the holiday season! We went in early December while our family was visiting. However, they had the ice rink out & a live band. Prices are extremely high and the food was decent. The menu is also very limited. The part that we love is the atmosphere and the Christmas lights at the del. read more

This is an update. We believe Sun Deck has one of the best views of the Pacific Ocean on the island and has quite the laid-back vibe. This afternoon, we started with the Sundeck Lemonade and the Rye Winter Cooler. We liked both. The Lemonade is Gin based and a bit tart from the lemon. But it had a hint of flowery notes and killer presentation with the flower garnishment. The Cooler is Rye based and the apple cider is complimented with a touch of maple syrup which offsets the robustness of the Bullet Rye. As part of our grazing we had our go-to: California Mezze Plate. All the components were fresh. The Hummus and Guacamole were good. The vegetables were lightly tossed in a fine oil and spices - some had heat and some didn't. We liked the variety of flavors. When you look at my pic, you'll see the cauliflower has different colors - different flavors. We like this laid-back place. But it's expensive and the service is slower than you'd like, but it has a great view to laze away a part of the afternoon. read more

Great food! Great views! Such a beautiful area. We had great service and even at sunset, we were able to get a seat and service quickly.

Great location. Amazing views (especially when hosting out of town guests). Limited dining menu. Extremely overpriced. We tried a few rounds of the California Meze Plate , Tuna Tartare Salad, Charred Octopus, Coconut Sweet Potato Pie. While each of these were delicious, none of them were worth final bill, doubt we will stopped by again. read more

Sun Deck at the Hotel Del is a great place to grab a casual bite and enjoy the beautiful Coronado Island sunset. Perched overtop the Hotel Del pool sits the Sun Deck. Great location with amazing beach/coastline and sunset views. Casual ambience and attire. Food is light bites and generally American fare. Drinks are pretty good. Service can be a little slow when it's a busy weekend day but the servers are friendly and do their best to get to you as quick as they can. read more

Just as the name suggests, this restaurant is located on the deck where you enjoy the sun. We were lucky to try it out on a super sunny day as the previous days had been dull. The food was really really good! We tried the beach shack, ENO and this place and Sun Deck was definitely our favorite. If you have dining credit through the Del, you can use it but you won't be able to stay within the budget so be prepared to pay extra. We had a long travel day ahead of us, so we didn't try any of the cocktails. We got the papaya salad and the fish sandwich. Both were delicious with the papaya salad maybe just edging the fish sandwich to my top spot. They split the salad for me and the bf and we both had more than enough to eat. I've never had papaya salad before so this was a fresh, pleasant medley of sweet, tart, spicy and smooth with the papaya, cilantro and lemon, snap peas, radish, peanuts and the jalapenos. It was delicious and I couldn't finish mine, so bf finished it for me. We honestly would've even drunk the sauce left behind, but there were people around and we had etiquette to preserve. The fish sandwich was bigger than I expected and also delicious! I think it was a mahi mahi patty, a little bland by itself, but the added sauce and veggies made up for it, along with the tasty bread. The french fries accompanying it were delicious. We split this sandwich up and it was more than enough for the both of us. The ambience is just so chill! Loved sitting in the sun, looking into the Pacific and people watching. Perfect end to a wonderful trip. FYI: they also serve food at the pool read more

Hotel del Coronado is an iconic historic beach resort, which was recently owned by Hilton. As you can see from my prior review about five years ago we have been here several times before. We always enjoyed our lunches here. I used to travel to San Diego on business several times per year. I rated this place only 3 stars five years ago, but now I would rate this place 3.5 stars, therefore, I rated our experience 4 stars today to average out my last two reviews to 3.5 stars. We parked our vehicle on the street and walked along the beach to Hotel del. We arrived with my family of three at 12 noon. We did not have a reservation, however, we were able to sit at a nice umbrella table for four adjacent to the glass wall with a nice view of the ocean. The weather here was beautiful in mid September. I started with and enjoyed their spicy strawberry sunburst with my home favorite Tanteo spicy jalapeno tequila, lime juice, agave and strawberry puree for $19. I also enjoyed my braised pork bibimbap with gochujang, furikake Jasmine rice, mung bean sprouts, carrots, cucumber namasu, fried egg and green onions for $33. The view here is spectacular. Ada was very effective and friendly in serving our table. My total bill was $161 excluding gratuities. This place is not cheap for lunch, but the food, service, experience and views are consistently worth it. We agreed we will continue to return here for lunch. We worked off our lunch by walking back to our vehicle parked on the street. If you believe that I can tell you another story on how you can lose some weight. read more

What a beautiful view!! That is the allure of this restaurant, because it sure isn't it's "fine dining" appeal. There is honestly something so off-putting about eating on beach furniture, but anyways... The food and drinks here are great - but you are paying for the view, don't get it twisted. I branched out and got salmon this time around, a dish I usually pass over, but the yuzu glaze just sounded so interesting. I'm glad I did because this was a dynamite dish! I loved the salmon and the salad, light and filling - a perfect combo. For desert we had the calamansi tart - a true perfect dessert. Tart curd with sweet meringue and buttery crust, yes 1000x yes. This is great for out of town visitors but you can probably skip otherwise! read more

I don't cook often but I'm certain I could cook a better fish and chicken sandwich than these jokes of sandwiches. The burger was decent, I wouldn't pay a 3rd of its absurd price of 29 dollars though. $240 for a quick lunch for 5 people and all we got was disappointment. There is extremely few options on the menu and not a single one is worth half its price. Service was average, waiters/waitresses were quick. The seating options kinda sucked, there were no suitable tables for our party of 5 except for the $175 minimum couches(which we didn't expect to spend), 4 person tables, and 10 person table. View was nice though. Could've been 2 stars if it the price wasn't so absurd. read more

We stopped here for drinks after a walk on the beach and prior to lunch plans. FYI there is a minimum $100 to sit in the lounge areas.

AVOID. The fish in the fish sandwich was hard, over-cooked and off tasting. At $36.95 it bordered on inedible, same with the undercooked 2 patty hamburger $29. Fries were unsalted, oily & tasteless. Ice tea $7 was awful, obviously not freshly brewed. China Mist? Diet soda $7 was questionable, so watery, syrup caliber must have been off. This restaurant is a tourist trap, with dismal quality, completely unexpected at a hotel of this caliber. read more

Walked over last night from our room to grab dinner. The view was perfect, overlooking the ocean. Other than that, nothing else was good here. SERVICE - Our waiter stopped by to take our order and that was about it. We did ask him to turn in the heater and he attempted to but it did not work. 10min later, someone else tried but it still did not work so they gave up and left it at that. They did not notify us though so we just left dinner early since it was too cold. FOOD Sunset Fruit Bowl - The strawberries were bruised and seemed really old. The center of them were browning already. The fruits were not sweet except for the pineapple. Kids Cheeseburger - We did not even try to feed this to our daughter as it did not look appealing. The cheese was barely melted. We tasted it and you could get a better quality burger at a fast food joint. Chicken Bao Buns - These tasted microwaved. No thank you. Hotel Del Drink - The drinks here were ridiculously expensive and they used a lot more of the filler juices than actual alcohol. Pineapple Mojito - As mentioned, all juice. You only come here for the view but nothing else. read more

We were at HOTEL DEL CORANADO and we tried a few restaurants and coctails , then my son pointed at SUN DECK, I agreed to go 'coz the View from up there will allow you to see the Beach and the entire Hotel. For myself I only ordered a COCKTAIL (ENFUEGO MANGO ) because I had a Prociutto Baguette at one of their shops , I was eating while walking and exploring ;) *My son ordered DEL DOUBLE HAMBURGER with Fries. * My husband ordered the PORK BIBIMBAP Our server ESMERALDA is Awesome, she came back so many times to check on us. I really like EN FUEGO MANGO my drink. For the Food, I have to go back and try more of their food to see if I like this place or not. I tried my son's Burger that he ordered for almost $30 and I feel like Fast food had better taste. And for the Bibimbap, not too bad. I will come again to try some more of their food next time to see what else we can order 'coz this SUN DECK is perfect for my son and buddies after coming from the Beach. read more

Ok so you have to know you are dining under the umbrella of the Hotel Del Coronado. You will pay top dollar here, BUT, you are paying for the view! Hello! Where else can you go, watch the waves, watch our military fly overs, drink wine and margaritas and revel in the ice skating rink?! Priceless SoCal living! The high price is worth it. Thank the Dining Gods we had an attentive waitress. The guacamole and chips were fresh and delicious. The fish sandwich and fries were so good as well. This is a very casual and relaxing "deck" to eat at. There are many more fancier restaurants on site if that's what you're looking for. Overall as always, it was fabulous!
