    Veranda at the Del is pure coastal bliss. The moment you step onto the terrace you are greeted by a soft ocean breeze, the glow of Coronado's sand, and that timeless Hotel del Coronado charm. It feels effortlessly elegant, relaxed, and special all at once. Service is gracious and attentive without being rushed. Our host seated us with a beautiful view, waters were refilled before we had to ask, and our server guided us to great choices with genuine warmth. The food is fresh, bright, and full of California flavor. Think crisp salads with peak produce, perfectly cooked seafood, and shareable plates that disappear fast. Cocktails are balanced and beachy, the wine list is thoughtful, and the mocktail options are just as fun. Come for sunset if you can, the sky puts on a show and the patio becomes magic. It is an easy choice for date night, a leisurely lunch with friends, or a celebratory family dinner. Reserve a table with an ocean view, give yourself time to stroll the beach, and let Veranda remind you why dining by the sea never goes out of style.

    Having dinner here was so perfect. We had the best waiter who was so attentive and the vibes were so positive and festive. The butternut squash soup fulfilled all my winter soup dreams. The crab cake was filling and perfectly cooked. My boyfriend said his burger was one of the best he's ever had! Amazing.

    We were on the patio, even if it is 70° out, if you are in the sun, you start to cook.

    One of the new, post remodel, restaurants.... It's right up my alley with an excellent smash burger!! The Veranda knows which way the wind is blowing!!!! We also had the halibut the whole chicken, asparagus, salads, so on and so forth .... See recipe: all good to excellent .... All the drinks were good as you would expect..... The Parker House rolls deserve mention, I could live on them in water !!!!' The service is exceptional. We were speaking with some of the servers and some have been working there 30 and 40 years. They really take pride in their jobs, which is so refreshing these days. A great deal of the restaurant is on the patio, which is where we were always seated. Casual with the ocean a couple hundred yards away.... Blissful.

    Nice vibe with great view, and food is much better than we expected. Service is attentive and friendly. My girlfriend and I both like the scallops. The risotto is okay, a bit under seasoned. The dessert is pretty and unique.

    Veranda is the newly opened outdoor dining venue at the Hotel Del Coronado. Over 100 guests can be seated on the terrace facing the southern edge of the property overlooking the beachfront. After sunset, a plethora of heat lamps are fired up so that diners are not shivering while eating and drinking al fresco. Reservations can be made on OpenTable if you are not a guest of the hotel. The menu was described by an article as "contemporary Californian" with featured nights on Wednesday (fried chicken), Thursday (prime rib), and Friday (seafood boil). The two-page food menu listed shareables, soups, and salads on one side and mains, grill (steaks), sides, and desserts on the other side. Beer, wine, cocktails, mocktails, and spirits were displayed on a separate two-page menu for libations. I walked up to the hostess stand without a reservation, and they added me to a waitlist. Within 20 minutes, I was escorted to a table. From the shareables, I selected the Parker House Rolls which were served as a set of six pull apart pieces. Cultured butter was provided on the side. The buns were very soft and addictive. For an entree, my choice was the California Halibut Veracruz. A halibut fillet was garnished with fingerling potatoes, tomato, olive, capers, fresh oregano, and lemon. The item was served in a shallow bowl which made the portion size seem small for the $40+ price. The ambiance glowed with neon pink lighting that caused my photos to appear less focused than usual. The service from the waitstaff was adequate. For the food quality and cost, I gave a four star rating for my dinner at Veranda.

    The Chocolate Cake
    Jobeth E.

    Enjoyed dinner here on a Friday evening with my fiancee. We shared the crab cake, ceasar salad, seared diver scallops, 8oz CAB filet, and two lovely dessert. The salad was extremely refreshing and a great size to share. Seared scallops were my favorite. Very well cooked and flavored deliciously. The filet wasn't necessarily plated as beautiful and was a bit dry for me however the service was fantastic and the view was amazing. Restaurant does get pretty busy but yet the servers are very attentive of any additional drinks or food needed. It's also on a patio deck so it feels quite fresh to be out there on a fall evening. Would return again and try other dishes. Both desserts we tried were plated beautifully! I'd highly recommend the strawberry one. Chocolate one was a bit overwhelming for me but if you like chocolate, it might just be it for you!

    Steps away from the beach

    We stopped in for brunch with a beautiful view and ambience while visiting San Diego. The buffet was $50 per person, however the items such as build your own omelette and $19 mimosa were extra charges.This could easily add up with an added beverage to more like $80 per person.

    Our view!

    The best combination of atmosphere, food and service! We came here on our last night in San Diego because we were told we had to see the hotel Coronado. Well worth it! To eat dinner and watch the sunset just feet from the beach is a dream and the food was the perfect addition. My husband isn't a seafood guy ( I AM!!) so he had the Mac and cheese with chicken breast added; I had the divers scallops with pea risotto. Not 1 critique, being from Monterey Bay Area, I love good seafood and this was delicious, cooked perfectly which is rare, the Risotto was delicious but I love peas. We shared a Caesar salad, fresh and flavorful with crispy cheese croutons in it. Also shared their Parker house rolls, wow! Takes me back to Sunday dinner at grandmas house. Our waiter was Manny, he makes you feel like family, definitely a wonderful end to a birthday vacation and the chocolate cake to finish it didn't hurt either. Rich and chocolatey, perfect way to end the evening.

    Date Cake
    T E.

    Awesome food, service and ambience. Manny and all the staff were excellent. We had our two dogs and the welcoming environment was perfect for a fantastic evening. They may have received as much attention as us! Highly recommend the Monkey in the Garden Old Fashion, Butternut Squash Risotto, Brussels Sprouts, Chowder in the Bread Bowl, and the Date Cake - yummy all around ...

    My boyfriend and I had dinner at Veranda tonight for our three-year anniversary, and we are still speechless. This was, without exaggeration, the best meal we have ever had in our entire lives -- and equally, the best service we've ever received anywhere. From the moment we sat down, Cody, Joseph, and Armando made us feel genuinely cared for. Not just "good service" cared for -- I mean above and beyond, next-level hospitality that you don't forget. Cody was incredibly warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, making every course feel special. Joseph checked on us with perfect timing every single time, making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. And Armando absolutely elevated the entire experience with flawless presentation, professionalism, and the kind of genuine care that's rare to find. Every dish was unforgettable -- beautifully prepared, perfectly cooked, and presented like something out of a fine dining magazine. We ordered the tomahawk and several sides, and each plate tasted like pure luxury. You can truly feel the passion and craftsmanship in every bite. The ambiance, the view, the food, the team... everything came together in the most extraordinary way. We both left saying the same thing: "That was the best dining experience of our lives." If you're visiting the Hotel Del or even just San Diego in general, you absolutely must eat at Veranda -- and if you're lucky enough to be taken care of by Cody, Joseph, and Armando, consider your night made. We'll remember this evening forever.

His questions guided my indecision towards a Berkshire Old Fashioned that was fantastic despite my fumbling to get there. With the warm up round over and the old fashioned loosening up my creativity, round two was set to be a knockout. I love coffee (specifically strong espresso drinks), so I asked for a strong, coffee infused, punchy cocktail, but with a different base of alcohol from the old fashioned. What came out was the best cocktail I will probably ever have in my life. The bourbon cocktail with coffee liqueur (and a number of other garnishes I will never remember) hit the bullseye. Flavorful, strong, bold, delicious all at the same time. Unfortunately (?), this was a noble experiment so I'll forever be chasing the white whale of what this drink was. But that's the allure.

I would say this was probably our highlight of our trip in San Diego. Garrick, the bartender there, was super accommodating. Not only was he and the other bartender were making damn good drinks, they would legit talk to you. The ambiance of the place is cool too. Felt like I was going inside some continental room like John Wick. Definitely my vibe and definitely coming back. But if you ever get Garrick as your bartender, you're in for a treat!

I get it the families are paying to stay here but can they find somewhere else to rough house other than in front of dinner guests who are paying $200 or more a head ?

And then there was the food. Menu all sounded great but this kitchen isn't up to the task, and relys on salt to make up for shortcomings. Octopus was so salty it was inedible. Soup was equally salty and, at nearly $30 for a cup, is ridiculously over-priced. Swordfish Tacos had good flavot but were so light on fillings that it was a joke. Maybe, MAYBE, an ounce if fish per 'taco.' Only dish that was halfway decent was Lobster Rigatoni. Still salt forward, but good spice. Would definitely not recommend this place and won't go back.

The vibe of the restaurant was pretty dope. They have an outdoor seating area blended with indoor seating. The decor was stunning. I loved the wallpaper and light fixtures. The tunes were bumpin'. The restaurant wasn't surprisingly too busy and was pretty family-friendly. I was so excited to take a bite into my first CA tacos! As I settled in and opened the menu, full transparency: I was shocked to see the "happy hour specials: $7 tacos"... regularly $14!? Thinking these HAD to be next-level incredible, I stopped judging and ordered two "Birria" tacos, two "traditional Carnitas" tacos, and a "crispy shell Ground Beef" taco. We paired our tacos with their "Classic" house Margarita. Chips and salsa were brought to the table with our drinks, and we enjoyed those for a bit before the food came out. I wish I were writing this to report that I had the best tacos of my life, but sadly, that's not the case. The Birria taco had an excessive amount of untrimmed fat in the meat, which made each bite unpleasant and forced me to spit out pieces I couldn't chew. This made the overall texture unappealing and the experience disappointing. Not my preferred way to enjoy my tacos. I don't believe this was an issue of happy hour pricing, but rather poor food preparation. I was only able to finish one taco and took the other to-go. As for the traditional carnitas taco, it was okay but lacked anything that set it apart. I say this with kindness, but if you've had a TB crunchy taco supreme, you've tried this restaurant's crispy shell ground beef taco. The classic margaritas were strong and well made. We thoroughly enjoyed them! If you asked me, would I go back for seconds? I'd likely not reorder the tacos. For the price, I expected higher-quality preparation and presentation; instead, it fell short. Personally, I'm glad I visited during Happy Hour. I'd file this one under cool place for drinks and a light bite, if you must.
