The island theme is epitomized here, in a very commercialized way. BTW, beach shack and tropical vibe isn't Coronado, this restaurant is more reminiscent of the South Pacific or Hawaii. But nonetheless the dark interior and laid back environment was pleasant. Even with the laid back environment, the service was attentive and helpful. You can check out my 2 menu pics for the thematic food and drinks that are available. We started with the Volcano Fries. This dish starts with your basic fries, and goes up from there. As you can see from my pic, there are plenty of seasonings on the fries. But it's ALL about their sauces: Sriracha Aioli and Hot Honey. (BTW, the heat wasn't overly hot and didn't distract from the flavors.). Between the garlic, the sweet/heat action, the creaminess of the Aioli, these fries were very hard to stop munching on. While not a super-phenomenal appetizer, it was incredibly irresistible. We then finished with the Pineapple Fried Rice with Spam & Portuguese Sausage, see my pic. We liked the combination of the fried rice with the rich meats (yes, I classified Spam as a meat. This reminded me of some of the Hawaiian Spam dishes.) The seasoning was rather weak. But it still was a hearty and robust meal. read more

The food was so good. Came here for a quick lunch. Even with so many tables open they placed the three of us at a small high top. We started with volcano fries and crab Rangoon. The honey on the fries settled at the bottom and it was a little too sweet but overall it was a great starter. I got the poke tacos and absolutely delicious. I loved the taco shell that was so crunchy and the ahi tuna was so well seasoned. My husband got the pineapple fried rice and it's such a big portion. There was so many meat pieces that it's well worth your money! read more

unfortunately they changed their menu and discontinued the dishes I came to try. I was looking forward to it too. Anywho the dishes are mediocre... the crab Rangoon is my favorite here. The kalua pork didn't have the Hawaiian kalua taste lol... the Mac salad was a little bland... I really liked the crisp in the chicken wings. The fish & chips is your typical fish n chips Lol. Ambiance is comfy, friendly service although our server took awhile to assist us since it got busy and she was the only waitress around. read more

The Islander was a fun restaurant. Service was excellent and fast. Food was amazing! The Wagyu smash burger was juicy and delicious. The fries were very fresh. Fish and chips were also yummy. Portion size was huge! The drinks were also fun, but didn't care for the coconut mai tai. We also had the spiked mango lemonade and hibiscus margarita which were very good. Enjoy! Highly recommend!! read more

How this place has 4 stars is beyond me. I came here with my parents and aunt and everyone was shocked at how awful this place was. Like my mom said, you wouldn't expect this from how it looked on the outside. Not only was the food super expensive. (Burger was $23) But all the food came out cold!! My dad eats anything and he didn't eat his food! They even saw his burger get placed on someone else's table and the guy said it wasn't his, and then the waiter just took it back and brought it to him so late and cold. The bathrooms, both men and women were extremely disgusting. It shows how much they take care of their place. My family had an awful time. I'm so sad they picked this place and weren't able to enjoy a good restaurant in San Diego. Do not come here. Anywhere else would have been better. read more

Chill sports bar in Coronado. Super friendly staff. Several TVs. Reggae music in background. Incredible weather while hanging out with friends. Several fish and Mexican menu options. I had the chilaquiles and the poke tacos. Friends also ordered a California burger, fried chicken sandwich, and Kailua pork plate. All were good. Beer list filled with local beers. Street parking only. I'd recommend this place when in town. read more

The vibes, the food, the music... eating here feels like vacation. It truly transports you to a laidback tropical destination (I've never been to Hawaii so I can't compare it to there). It even slightly bothered me because our dining experience there made me wish I was on vacation, but it was only an average weekend Saturday . We had a warm and sunny Saturday for one of the first times in a while in San Diego, so my boyfriend and I decided to split a meal here and started off with the Big Trouble in Little Watermelon drink. Such a fun presentation and very refreshing. I'm obsessed with anything watermelon, however the tequila was a bit strong for my liking, but my boyfriend really loved it and said he could've ordered another all to himself. The Kalua Pork Sliders were tender and the perfect balance of tangy and sweet. My wish is that there were more... since there were only 3 we were fighting over the last one. The Ahi Poké was fresh and FILLING! I'll be the first to say that poke never really satisfies my hunger, but this portion size was actually perfect for 2. Every single ingredient in it just made it better, just total flavor burst in every bite. Last but definitely the star of the show... Hula Bula Pie. I have been dreaming about this since the first bite. Apparently it's made by their nextdoor neighbor (which the waitress actually let us know that The Islander owns them) MooTime! So you already know the ice cream is to die for. The salty of the macadamia nut ice cream in contrast with the Oreo crust and decadent fudge surrounding it set fireworks on my tastebuds. An absolute must! Especially now that the warmth is returning to SD. Will be back and cannot wait! read more

Okay - a definite go-to for us in Coronado!! The classic Mai-Tai is greatttttt, as well as the other drinks. The bartenders are great to chat with and fun to sit at the bar.

Overall a nice place, and they are pretty quick to get you your orders even when it's pretty busy. read more

Not gonna lie this place wasn't my first choice, the restaurant I wanted to go to had over an hour wait and your girl was hungry. We weren't going to be waiting that long. And it's not very often you stumble across a new restaurant in this area. So you know I had to give it a try! It's got a cute little tiki bar vibe which I'm a sucker for. I didn't have a cocktail this time but when the waitress passed by them they looked super cute and yummy (will definitely get one next time) hehe. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Food was freaking great! This place definitely has potential to be around for a while. I'll be a returning customer for sure. Keep up the great work! :) read more

We stopped by here for a little "something-something" during our day in Coronado. Like my wife said, "best crab dip she had ever had" here at the Islander. The Crab Rangoon dip was outstanding and second to none. Also had the Stone Buenavista Salt and Lime Lager. It was ice cold and refreshing. Ambiance is obviously "island like" but would also say it's warm and welcoming. Great service from the bar was provided by Taylor. Recommend you sit at the bar if she is tending it. PS - We had the Hawaiian Poke too, just as good at the Crab Rangoon. read more

Came for a quick dinner before heading out to see the Coronado Christmas lights. The portion sizes are pretty generous. The Hulu Hulu chicken tasted more like bbq chicken, not the traditional Hawaiian bbq flavor. The poke bowl had good flavors. The garlic shrimp tacos were just ok, not too much garlic flavor, mostly just the cream sauce flavor. read more

TL;DR: Relaxed vibe and decent food. Good service and pet-friendly. Came for a bite while walking the doggo and was pleasantly surprised with the food Ordered: - Hanalei Hippie - added tuna and it was definitely the move despite the upcharge. Fresh seafood on top of a bed of crisp greens. Not much more to ask for - Huli Huli Chicken - the chicken entree took a little longer (server let us know beforehand which we appreciated) but totally worth it. The skin was flavorful and crispy. Balanced out the juiciness of the chicken. The Mac salad was alright - wish it was a little more balanced (too sweet for me). All in all, a good meal and a huge plus that they're pet-friendly! Will definitely be back - cheers, Islander! read more

I use a system for my reviews of no more than 5 Pros and 5 Cons. All reviews are candid and well-researched! Pros: **Food: An absolute surprise when you think of Tiki and/or Hawaiian food. It was fresh, delicious and unique in preparation. Standout dishes: The Pupu Platter(huge), Pineapple Froed Rice with different combinations--yummy! **Atmosphere: Fun, colorful, good music and great Surfer videos playing nonstop. **Service: So attentive and when we announced our allergies, they checked on them. Also great guidance on what are their best dishes to try--even the seaweed wrapped Spam. Cons: **Parking. Just wished they had Valet or easier parking. read more

THE SERVICE WAS GOOD ==================== I have decided I really need to stop listening to my husband when he has a food craving. He wanted some kind of fried chicken within walking distance and this place popped up. My husband ordered some kind of fried chicken tacos. I ended up with fish tacos. We weren't thrilled with either. Maybe trying to find a good restaurant on Coronado wasn't my best idea. We should have gone to Little Italy instead. The Islander was cute with lots of surfboards on the ceiling. It definitely has potential, but the food wasn't good. read more

This place was so good, my coworkers and I wound up coming back multiple times! The vibe was very cool, very island-y. I loved the decor and the overall style. The service was great. The servers were all really friendly and offered suggestions on what to get. The food came in big portions and the presentation was perfect. Everyone really enjoyed their options. The drinks were strong, tasty and large. We, of course, had to do the big volcano bowl drink one night (dangerous!). 10/10 would come back if I was in town! read more

Ok first time here and it has a tiki vibe with a bar and tables and lots of TVs to watch sports. Now it was hot and they should have had the air on better than what it was . Flies were a problem once our food arrived but it was hot so what can you do. Food was good my only complaint would be if you give ketchup let the consumer know it's spicy and not just regular ketchup. They give you a glass pitcher of water for your table which was nice. Price seemed a little high but the area of town and near the bay it's understandable. I had fish n chips which was good and my son had a bacon smash burger . He usually eats all of his hamburgers but he said the bun was soggy so he only had less than half. Their lemonade is 8.00 and no free refills. But server was nice and place is clean. Parking is bad because there are so many shops. Not much else to say. read more

Service was excellent and drinks were really good but we weren't to keen on the food. My girlfriend ordered the pineapple fried rice and though the presentation was nice, it was very bland and lacking in flavor. I ordered the north shore garlic shrimp tacos and I was not impressed. Seemed like something I could make at home, and I don't cook - at all. Props to the bartender for making us some perfect drinks. If we're back in the area, we'll definitely pop in for a drink but will probably go elsewhere to eat. read more

I was wondering and trying to find a place to eat. This little restaurant had a very appealing appearance and cute outdoor design. We were seated immediately and our server Jennifer greeted us with waters. She was very sweet and able to recommend the dishes she liked the most. We had mermaid water, the nachos, and the Baja ceviche. Everything was delicious and came in large portions. I wish the ceviche had a little more tomato and avocado, but other than that it was very tasty. The nachos are a very large person, and probably best shared between two people. Overall, we really enjoyed this restaurant and had a little feedback to give. read more

However, while we sat at the bar to get a drink and wait for our reservation, the bartender was very attentive and friendly. The drinks were very good.

I sensed weird vibes the moment I walked there. I have been wanting to try the place for a while. My grilled fish tacos were awful. The fish was locking seasoning, and the slaw was unnecessarily sour. There was no balance in the overall balance in taste. I hate having to send the order back. I was not feeling that well, later nn in the day after eating a little bit of the fish. My drink did not make up for the deficiencies, and I did not even finish it. It just increased the sum on my bill. I don't think I will give the place another try. The service was ok, but I did not think it was genuine. The islander restaurant on my favorite island did not meet expectations or the island standards, in my opinion. I cut my losses and went to Henry's later. I gave extra star because the chair was very comfortable for the casual setting at the patio. read more

Come here for the cool cocktails... and that's about it. Portions here are a bit on the meager side for the price you pay and service was slacking quite a bit on the day I was there (we had to go fetch our own water a few times). If you're visiting the Coronado I think the restaurant next door has a little more to offer but as a Tiki drink hunter, I do have to give my hats off for the unique Pineapple and Watermelon drinks, though they could definitely use a little more of a heavy hand ;) read more

My dogs and I are regulars at the Coronado Dog Beach on Sundays. For Mother's Day, I wanted something a little extra, so I googled Dog friendly places near by and found The Islander. My human son joined my dogs and I for the best lunch, ever!! I had the Poke Bowl, and it was honestly the best I've ever had! That goes for the Calamari-the absolute best. My son could not stop talking about it. The dogs loved the side of bacon I got for them, and they enjoyed sitting on the patio with us on a beautiful Sunny Day. The Islander offered free "Mom"-osas, but I declined. Nice to know that was an option;) read more

Updated review: the Islander still gets it right! The service is impeccable, always attentive despite the busy weekend nights. Tonight we were lucky to have Yair serve us. He was kind, knowledgeable and was so attentive to not just our table but all the other tables he had. He didn't skip a beat. The food is consistently good. We had the pineapple fried rice, crunch chili chicken and pulled pork sandwich. All are highly recommended depending on your preferences and how hungry you are. The portions are plentiful so sharing is a must. Last but not least, save room for dessert! Their hula bula pie has MooTime ice cream and it is to die for! Better than all the other mud pies you've had. Check out this gem of a place on the Island and ask for Yair! Also they give military discounts so be sure to tell them before you check out. read more

I had been looking forward to Blue Bridge Hospitality group's redesign of Leroy's Kitchen & Lounge to The Islander. The beach/tropical theme of the newly opened restaurant was enhanced with a collection of surfboards mounted on the ceiling, a bamboo bartop, and the presence of a tiki statue near the hostess stand. My visit occurred during the initial weekend of the soft opening. No tables were available, however there were several open chairs at the bar where I claimed a seat. The menu I had previewed on social media seemed promising with pupus, ceviches, salads, tacos, entrees, burgers/sandwiches, and desserts. Before ordering them, I inquired about the Sticky Ribs. The bartender responded that the ribs were served as a small rack. To my surprise, what arrived on the plate was six riblets that were coated with sweet chili BBQ and sesame seeds on a bed of slaw. For $18, this appetizer should have been a rack of full-size baby back ribs or at least meat on a set of long bones. I also ordered the Salt & Pepper Shrimp Roll which had toppings of pickled fresno chili, lime aioli, and scallions. Yet again, the description was ambiguous as I did not expect pieces of flash fried shrimp. The salt and pepper seasoning was not prominent, and the dry brioche roll could have used some mayonnaise. The product did not live up to a $23 price tag. The kitchen needs to reevaluate these two particular items and at minimum, provide a more succinct description and/or photos on the menu. While the service and ambiance were worthy of four stars, my food selections were nowhere near that level. Perhaps I chose poorly, but after tax and tip, the $50 tab was obscenely high for a subpar meal. My composite rating for The Islander was between two and a half and three stars. read more

Fantastic restaurant in the heart of Coronado that is THE place to enjoy superb food, fabulous drinks and attentive service. This is a place for 2 to 20. Great atmosphere with a laid back vibe that will meet everyone's food desires while providing some of the freshest seafood on the Island. Did I mention the cocktails?! Full bar service with wizard mixologists and a drink menu that covers the rainbow of flavor. Mega drinks for 2 to 6. A Moscow mule cup that holds gallons of deliciousness. Wait...don't want you to think this some type of booze bar because it's not. This is a place where all ages can eat their favorite food, have an adult beverage or mock tail and leave satisfied. Oh yeah....craft beers on tap and a great wine selection. Went to their soft opening and all I can say is WOW. This has a menu with fresh poke, chicken, salads, daily caught fish, burgers, etc, etc something for everyone. Started dinner with fried shrimp and lumpia appetizers. Shrimp were crispy and not over cooked. Served lightly seasoned on a bed of cabbage with banana peppers. Loved the light dressing that let the shrimp be the star. Lumpia was served with lettuce wraps and mint with 2 dipping sauces. YEP. You read that right. Lettuce wraps and mint. Finally, a real restaurant that serves lumpia traditional style rather than just thrown on a plate. So good! Had the coconut seafood curry and poke tacos for the main courses. The absolute BEST food I've had in.the area. Expertly prepared by the California and TV superstar chef, the flavors were subtle and the seafood perfectly cooked. Each served with a generous helping of rice that was a meal unto itself. If you love curry..GET THIS. If you've never had curry...GET THIS. The poke tacos were so fresh that I could've eaten them all day. Amazing flavors from such a simple dish. Dessert was a heavenly slice of DA MOON PIE. big enough for 3 it was a dream of pineapple mousse, coconut sorbet, caramel, white chocolate and shortbread. Such an original dessert, perfect without being too sweet. So let's wrap this up: Cool vibe, original flavors, massive drink menu, opens for dinner earlier than all the other places (perfect pre show meal), rock star Chef and staff, attentive service, fun and exciting....all While LESS than other nearby restaurants! YES. YES YES. The Island is all that coupled with Island love. Best value for locals and visitors in all of Coronado. Look forward to seeing you there as I. Know I'll be back again and again. read more

Service was great provided by Atlee (loved her name), the ambiance was lowkey with good "Island" music, there's a bar in the middle but overall it had lots of room for groups, couples, or solo, but the food to me was just "ok" and wasn't really worth the amount we paid. We got the Crab Rangoon Dip (3.8/5) - just needed a little more "crab" but the wontons were cooked to perfection and I enjoyed the burnt cheese on top The appetizer nachos that could probably be an entree (4/5). Really enjoyed the "trash can" presentation it came out with, allows for more of the beans , cheese , and or meat to be on as many nachos as possible And lastly, the poke tacos (3/5) - I'm not sure what it was but it just didn't do it for me . Nothing against the establishment, I probably just wanted in the mood for it at the time. The lemonade is SUPER sweet too. Overall - I'd probably come back because of the service & to try some of their drinks, they had a 2 page menu of speciality drinks. read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon for a quick lunch. The place was easy to find and right along the main strip. The service was great and we were seated quickly. The food did take a little long to come out as we were on a time crunch but we were able to eat and enjoy everything in time. I ordered the salmon and I absolutely loved it because my salmon wasn't overcooked it was just right.

If you're here for the aesthetic and the aesthetic only, then I would rate it a 9/10. Its located in Coronado, its eye-catching, and it's decorated to make it seem like you're really on a tropical vacation. If you're wondering about the food/service, I would rate this a 6/10. Regarding the service, yes, the workers are super nice; however, the service is just really slow at the moment. I know this restaurant recently re-opened, but efficiency could be improved. Regarding the food, for an appetizer my party and I ordered the crab Rangoon dip. Everyone online has raves about it, but it's really just a deconstructed crab Rangoon (and very fragrant of crab at that). 6/10. I ordered the pineapple fried rice -- looked good, but inconsistently cooked. The rice itself was VERY dark (too much sauce). Then as I was eating/moving my food around and saw pieces of white rice & burnt rice pieces, which tells me the cook was rushing. I did like that the fried rice had pineapple, sausage, spam, and I chose to add shrimp/forego the spam. They give you options on which meat you can pick to add into it. 5/10 For dessert, we ordered the s'mores dessert, which was my favorite thing here. It's like a pizookie with s'mores toppings. read more

Coronado has a new restaurant, and I am all about it! When you enter it really feels like you're in a tiki style lounge out on a tropical island, the vibes are really chill and inviting which I appreciate it. My husband and I came for dinner, I was so excited to try their cocktails, the one I ordered was the Passion Project, I am really into passion fruit right now so I was happy to see that there was something passion fruity on the menu. The Passion Project is made with vodka, watermelon and passionfruit syrup (yes I am taking that info from their menu), it's so refreshing and light plus there's an added surprise of the pop rocks! Definitely a must when you drop by 10/10! For starters we shared the Pupu platter which was a great choice, it comes with chicken satay, their sticky ribs, hummus, lumpia and cucumber salad! My mouth is salivating just looking at my own photos! Dare I say the cucumber salad reminds me of Din Tai Fung's!? It's well seasoned and super crunchy, the ribs are fall of the bone and so tender, the chicken skewers are marinated to perfection and just so juicy, the hummas had a good tang and the lumpias or egg rolls are crispy! Bryan and I talked about those ribs for days after having them. Then for our mains, I ordered their fried chicken and Bryan got their shrimp fried rice! I love that his came with a hollowed out pineapple, it definitely adds to the tropical vibe. As fried rice connoisseur, I was thoroughly impressed. You get a good helping of large shrimps and there's a good distribution of sausage bits and mushrooms too! But let's talk about the star of our meal...the fried chicken! I love fried chicken and oh my god this was probably on the top of my list. The chicken is so tender and juicy and has so much flavor! The batter is extremely crunchy and seasoned so well, I love that there is a bit of heat because it adds that additional layer or flavor. It's served with a big helping of mac salad and white rice, that mac salad was good too and perfectly chilled! If you try one thing, I highly recommend that this be it! To end our night we shared the ube cheesecake and I could cry, it was a perfect serving. Not too sweet and base of the cheese cake had a good bite to it. As a Filipino who grew up with these flavors I am really grateful and happy to see it in finer dining setting. I can't wait to come back, I hope that that so many people get to experience The Islander, other than the incredible food and atmosphere, the team here are just so nice and attentive, making sure we love everything as much as they do! Check them out! read more

While driving to visit Hotel Del Coronado I always see this restaurant called "THE ISLANDER". We finally decided to try it. We had: *PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE - Shiitake mushroom, red peppers, peas, edamame, tamari, spam, and Portuguese sausage. *GRILLED SKIRT STEAK - LO Mein Noodles, Broccoli, Napa cabbage, scallion, garlic, and huli glaze. *2 PUPU PLATTER, to share - Sticky Ribs, Aloha Chicken wings, Kalua pork sliders, and west pack Pork eggrolls. *KALUA PORK PLATE - Mac Salad, Steamed Rice, and Furikake. *UBE CHEESECAKE- Lilikoi Cremeux , Raspberry , Swiss Meringue *UBE OLD FASHIONED - Saserac Rye, Whiskey, Ube syrup, and Tiki Bitters. Our APPETIZER PUPU PLATER was all good. I tried the sticky Ribs, pork egg rolls , chicken wings, and those Pulled pork Sliders, I tried everything and it was all good. However, the Pineapple Fried rice that I got was a bit disappointing. When it came, the Rice was so Dark in color and I was thinking that it would be so Flavorful, but Suprisingly it tasted bland, so I just ate the meats that were on it. My Son's GRILLED SKIRT STEAK was good, the Steak was very Flavorful and tender, and the noodles too were also very flavorful. My Husband's Pulled Pork was good and so flavorful too . I really liked it, except for the Macaroni salad, it was not good, it needs more seasoning. My UBE OLD FASHIONED drink was okay, it was strong drink, the way I like it. My Son really likes the Dessert, UBE CHEESE CAKE, it has a really Strong Ube Flavor on it. The service was okay. JULIETTE our server was very attentive to what we might need, Even though the place is small, the Vibe is nice. The food was just okay, coz some are good and some were not. read more
