Great list of cocktails of which I enjoyed the PSM (pumpkin spiced espresso martini) and Lights, Camera, Action (vodka, passionfruit, licor 43, and egg white). The Smoking Lotus was okay and didn't really taste the calamansi come though. The Duchess was a nice gin drink, simple and refreshing. The avocado salad was good but would ask for the dressing on the side next time, as this was a bit overdressed for me. Octopus wasn't bad, nice romesco sauce with potatoes. Service was friendly and food and drinks came out in a timely manner. Would def come back for drinks and a view again and it's right next to the Hotel Del. Found parking right across from Miguel's.

If you're in Coronado, McP's Irish Pub is one of those spots that just becomes part of your routine…read morewithout even trying. It's a smaller place, but that's part of what makes it great. It feels real, comfortable, and consistent every time you walk in. This has actually become a tradition for us. Every year around Thanksgiving, when we stay at Hotel del Coronado, we make it a point to come here with friends. Been doing it since 2018 and it's something we all look forward to. The food is always solid, drinks are right, and the atmosphere just fits. Nothing overcomplicated, just a place that does what it's supposed to do and does it well. What says a lot is we don't just go to this location. When we're up visiting family in El Dorado Hills, we'll hit their Tahoe location too. That kind of consistency across locations is rare. This place has become part of our routine and our memories. Don't ever change.

We were given complimentary chips and salsa and then ordered some drinks that came with watermelon garnish. We shared the spicy mango ceviche and a cheese crisp for our appetizers.

It's served with blistered peppers, charred onions, jack cheese, guacamole, salsa fresca, sour cream, choice of beans and tortillas. It was very tasty! We ended up trying frozen margarita and an agua fresca as well. The frozen margarita is so refreshing, especially on a hot summer day. For dessert, we got the tres leches cake and it was the perfect ending to our dinner.

But today I ate at the pool, with food brought from the sun deck. Times were pretty slow and it's not cheap. But my wahoo sandwich was delicious. And it's a luxury to eat it at the pool. So thumbs up and I would do it again when I'm here.

Beautiful view. Everything else was a joke…read more We're locals and don't usually come to the sun deck. It's typically packed with kids and tourists, but it was a beautiful day and we wanted ocean views without the drive. We grabbed a corner spot with a $175 minimum, easy to hit when the menu is priced like everything was flown in from Monaco. Water: asked three times, never came. The fourth time we finally got it, and only because the manager dropped it off himself after my husband spoke to him. Water is the bare minimum. It shouldn't feel like a favor. The food came out in five minutes. Five. That's not a kitchen, that's a heat lamp. Lukewarm at best, some of it cold. The giveaway: they brought us a kids' chicken fingers plate, realized we'd ordered the adult portion, took it back, then sprinted off to grab the bigger version. That's a steam tray with a hostess. And the lobster Cobb? The lobster was cut into little circles. Circles. Lobster has never been a circle. The servers moved around like expressionless robots. When my husband politely asked to speak with the manager privately, out of respect for the staff, the manager came over looking like he couldn't care less. Somehow the service got worse after that. He comped a burger and one other item. We still walked out near $175. The cherry on top? His apology was throwing his own employee under the bus. "Yeah, he's had a lot of complaints lately." That's not a manager. That's Gossip Girl with a clipboard. Be a leader. Handle it behind the scenes. This is exactly why the staff is the way they are because leadership comes from the top and if that's broken the whole operation is broken. We left and went to The Dive rooftop at The Bower Hotel. Sat down, and within a minute someone dropped off water. We sat there genuinely grateful, which is when it hit us how badly we'd been treated. Save your $175. The view is free!!!!!

Fun bar. A little chilly at 4 o'clock in February, though.

The ordering and beer shack is made to look appropriately rustic and the sign post is appropriately thematic, see my pics. As you can see from my pic I was lucky enough to be there at a slow time. My canned beer came out in so-so time. But the staff was somewhat harried and short tempered. I ordered my fish taco, and I didn't realize it was made and had to be picked up at a different shack - which is around the corner from where I placed my order. So they had to tell me twice (I didn't see the small white sign down the alley: so you don't get snapped at I have a pic of where the food is prepped and picked up.) There were 2 taco orders ahead of mine, yet it took 15 minutes to serve my taco. I'm glad I waited there - they yell your name at the alley, I'm not sure it could be heard at the beach and over the live music. Please take a look at my $8.50 fish taco. While there was a plentiful amount of fish, the seasoning was incredibly salty. Also the fish was tough. I did liked the guac on top and rest the was fresh.
