We had an absolutely incredible dinner at in Coronado. The view alone is worth it, you're literally on the water with a beautiful view of the bay and skyline. For five people, with three bottles of wine, appetizers, mains, and dessert, we came in around $500, which felt more than fair given the quality and the location.
Let’s talk about the food.
First, the bread. The whipped butter. Sounds simple, but dipping that fresh, warm bread into their clam chowder? Insane. My friend from the East Coast (Boston born and bred) said it was some of the best clam chowder she’s ever had, which says a lot. Creamy, rich, packed with flavor, and not overly thick. Total winner.
The ceases salad on fried Asiago was a great choice and really flavorful beginner with great presentation!
We split the Fire Roasted Baja Salmon, which came with shrimp, avocado corn pico, mango sticky rice, and lemon shallot butter, under $40, beautifully cooked, and perfect for sharing. Light but flavorful, and that mango sticky rice added a fun twist we didn’t expect.
But the real MVP? The Seafood Risotto. Now listen, I’m not a rice person at all, usually think it’s just filler, but this dish changed my mind. It was rich, buttery, packed with perfectly cooked seafood, and somehow still light enough to not feel heavy. Honestly, I was jealous I didn’t order it myself. It’s easily the best dish we had, and if it’s a special next time, I’m not missing it.
Overall: highly recommend. Great food, great service, unforgettable views. Can’t wait to come back.
