Crab wedge salad
Mary W.

I made reservations quite awhile ago..got there and was told the booths were already reserved although they stayed empty for duration of our dinner stay.. Our server was attentive and friendly...but forgot our roll order with our entrees. Prices are exorbitant..Brussels were delicious, and crab cake and crab wedge was filled with crab..they did not skimp. I thought I was asking for regular still water, and was served the bottle..and then charged$10 for it?? I guess Hotel Del is another restaurant that no longer acknowledges birthdays.although they did give me a signed card from the staff..it was an afterthought as we had already asked for the bill..the server acted embarrassed and actually apologized for it.. A disappointment in so many ways..

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.

Crab cake

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.

Carpaccio, oyster Rockefeller and Caesar salad

Excellent Ambience Exceptional service Somewhat limited menu, nevertheless good options of land & sea products.

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.

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.

Hostess stand

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.

Date Cake

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 ...

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
Becky K.

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.

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.

See all

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.

A gal took over his tables but she didn't tell us she was the new server so we kept looking for him as we didn't want to bother her with the fact that our drinks didn't come, the order of strawberries were missing, and we wanted a refill of our waters. You're probably wondering why I'm still giving 5 stars. lol Not enough restaurants have unique, fun, and delicious items on the menu. This place was also busy so I like to give some grace for that. The French onion soup was excellent. The French dip was so fun with the tableside cheese. They have 2 different menus, one for breakfast and the other for dinner and you can't combine them so pay attention to what time you make resis (which is highly recommended to do).

It was very nice and fun to people watch while eating brunch. It was a little noisy being seated so close to your neighbors. Was expecting to be wowed by service, taste, etc... and just wasn't. Medium burger was raw on one side?? not sure how that could even happen unless it was frozen or something? The short rib was good but again not amazing. We had the fancy Hot Chocolate Croissant with fresh creme and strawberries. The Croissant was a little touch to eat... had to use a knife to cut through it. I'd pass on the croissant next time and stick with the hot chocolate, strawberries, and creme. The service started super slow, almost twenty minutes before anyone acknowledged we were seated (had to ask for server). Once the server arrived it was fast and friendly. Manager did swing by to check in on us but by then we were boxed up and walking out the door.

The food is good I guess. The wagyu taco had a nice flavor and the greens with the sauce made it work. I don't think it's actually wagyu, but the word is pretty much meaningless at this point. For the crust, I found it to be way too chewy rather than light and flaky. I couldn't even cut it with my spoon anymore and had to pick up a long thing of crust and pull it apart with my teeth. I will allow that the gravy and other contents are bland and generic since if it had as much flavor as I actually want, other customers will be complaining about it. But the crust I cannot forgive. Overall it was not bad though. Surprisingly, my favorite item was the brussels sprouts. Even with all the seasoning and cheese, I found the flavor to be well balanced. Even after most of the plate, I noticed I didn't find it too salty. I really like the menus in the crappy brown folders. I think they might've also done it because it's easy and cheap, but it works well with the aesthetic they have.

Please keep in mind, if you do book through Opentable that they ask you to put a card down on file. The reservation was for 5:30, luckily a block away there's a parking lot (you do have to pay) as their personal parking lot fits 5-6 cars. The hostess was a sweetheart and super accommodating, as we were a few minutes late due to the parking situation and we had a great seat that showed the open layout with the chandelier, the back panel by the entrance with all the stars, etc. Overall: Service, exceptional. (5/5) Our waitress: Kelly, was a sweetheart, informative, mindful on consistent check-in's for refills, drinks, going over steps of the menu (e.g. - small bites, entrees, dessert, didn't feel rushed or too pushy, and considerate on time, and promptness). The waiter that came by mid-video to do the torch component of the butters we added on to our meats was great, I love that it's table side because it enhances the experience to the ambiance and you can squeeze a little video in. If you do go for your birthday, as I did, they provide you with a dessert outside of their choices, however, we did overindulge a bit. Overall, I had a phenomenal experience for my birthday dinner, the music/ambiance was great, service was great, and the food quality for both the meat choices we got, sides (caesar salad, broccoli, and macaroni) we're all SO yummy!

I knew it was a speakeasy but he did not. I was trying to double-check on my phone that Craft & Commerce was the right restaurant its housed in (yes) when he tried to jet set off down the block "to keep looking" rather than listen to me. I yelled, "MOTHER!" by accident and then he did truly leave me hahaha. He resurfaced a few minutes later, and then we walked in. It was 5:15 at the time, so 15 minutes after opening. I had NO IDEA how popular this spot was, nor anything about its nation-wide reputation. I actually didn't know that until two days ago when a Yelp-friend at home here in Richmond, Virginia, exclaimed excitedly when I told her we stopped in. The host who greeted us was kind, informed us there had been a line to get in that day, but that they had one barrel left; we jumped on it of course. It was happy hour, so the first cocktail I ordered was dirt cheap at $9. It was the Imperial Hawaiian with gin, rum, lemon, pineapple, and orgeat. I really shouldn't have ordered a second drink after that one, but I did have the classic Saturn later on in the night and it was absurdly good! Definitely my favorite of the two. The moody tiki vibe was so cool and fun. They even had frogs you could play on the tables. We had some fun neighbors too, which livened up the experience even more.

We arrived about 10-15 minutes before opening, let the staff know we were walk-ins, and they were super accommodating--they gave us about 60 minutes at a table despite reservations coming in. The space itself is very small and tucked inside another venue, but that honestly adds to the charm. It's dimly lit with a unique, immersive vibe--think jungle-inspired with eclectic decor. At one point, there were rumbling sounds and subtle vibrations through the chairs, which made the whole experience feel interactive and different from your typical bar. The drinks were creative and fun (one of my friends even kept the drink garnish as a collectible), and the staff was friendly and welcoming throughout. It's definitely more about the ambiance and experience than anything else. I'd come back again--especially around the holidays to see how they switch up the decor. If you're looking for something a little different and don't mind a cozy, darker setting, it's worth checking out.
