Covewood

We live in San Diego and had our water turned off due to an error with construction on my bday. We were scrambling for a hotel with our twins. We found this quiet hotel with a great restaurant and great staff. My husband got the scallops with guanciale and I got the cedar planked salmon. We had two drinks that were awesome passion and smoke (passion fruit and mezcal) and the Sicilian Summer both were delicious! We really appreciate Barrett, Omar and Juan for a great dinner!

We stayed at Mission Bay Resort during the week of July 4th and had the chance to try Covewood multiple times. I really wanted to give them four stars, but the food was subpar at best. Let's start with the good parts.The ambiance was great, with an ocean view next to the beach. They have a fireplace, which we used one day because it was a bit cold outside, and we had to stay outside due to our dogs. The service tended to be slow at times but always with a smile, very friendly and accommodating.They have a special dog menu for our furry family, which is fantastic. Our dogs tried the chicken dish with farro and carrots. They devoured the chicken and munched on the other items a bit. It came pretty hot with a warning from the waitress. We stirred it a bit and let it cool before giving it to the dogs, and they were just fine. They even had a dessert option with oat milk ice cream and a cookie. Our dogs did not love that one, but they aren't really into cookies, so I wasn't surprised.Our first experience was with dinner. We started with oysters. My son wanted to have 12 of them. After reading the reviews, I was hesitant to order seafood, so we started with six, and we were all glad we only ordered six. We all struggled to finish those. They were not good. We ordered a few more dishes to share. The Noble Garden Salad was the best of all, fresh and tasty. I also enjoyed the scallops. We had side mushrooms which included a few different types of mushrooms. We all love mushrooms, and they usually do not need much sauce. The sauce overpowered the mushroom taste and made the whole dish bland. My son wanted to have pasta and ordered Wild Shrimp Cavatelli, which was the worst I've ever tried with not much taste. We finished with a Vegan Sundae, and while I was happy to see a vegan option, the brownie was cold and dry. Overall, not impressive.For lunch, we tried the mango and jicama salad and wood-roasted cauliflower and portobello. Neither of them was impressive. The taste was pretty average. I'm glad the cauliflower was not greasy, but the taste was average, the same with the salad. The Noble Garden was definitely better.We also tried different breakfast options during the week--pancakes, waffles, French toast--none of them were very good. They weren't bad or anything, but they definitely could have been a lot better. We probably would have dined there a few more times, which would have been really convenient.

We are staying at Mission Bay Resort and this is considered their high-end restaurant. We came for breakfast and it's pathetic!The service is basically non existent and our server, Roy, is such a smug and condescending person who took 15 minutes just to come to our table ONLY after I had to walk up to the front and ask "do we have a server for our table?"The food is equivalent to Denny's with typical overpriced resort prices. Bagged "skillet" potatoes, jimmy dean sausage and bacon and horrendous coffee. A kids meal and basic 2 egg breakfast is $50.Do NOT bother to eat here! You'll regret it!

We stayed at the San Diego Mission Bay Resort. One evening we decided to have dessert at Covewood and well it was not great, I would describe it as mediocre at best. The brownie Sundays tasted as if they were from the day old bakery :( the apple crisp was "ok" the key lime pie was decent. The coffee was awful, like scraped off the bottom of a burnt coffee pot bad. I will say the fire pit and the view of the bay was nice, and the service was great. They were very polite and fast to bring the food and coffee. Would I recommend this restaurant, unfortunately not. It is extremely expensive for what you get. For what they charge they should be top tier. My personal opinion is to order from GrubHub have it delivered and sit on the beach and enjoy the same view and the same fire pit for 1/3 the cost.

It was a quick staycation for my wife and I and we decided to try the restaurant at the resort we stayed at and loved it. We sat outside at sunset and since they had heaters it wasn't cold at all. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable of his menu. From our food (see pix) to the customer service, we enjoyed our time at Covewood. They had outdoor fireplaces and live music as well which made for a great ambience.Crazy story but a little girl began choking on her food and waiter from the restaurant was there immediately and once the girl was okay, he very intentionally began comforting her with talk about Disneyland, princesses, etc. I thought it was very sweet of him.

We had a pleasant welcome from the hostess with a saxo player to add a romatic ambiance, she seated us in a great location, on the patio facing the bay. We started with oysters, which came with vinegar, radish, and ketchup--these sides seemed a bit basic for such a place, oysters were delicious. However, the mussels in coconut milk with lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves were absolutely divine. And also were the salmon served with cream and asparagus was perfectly cooked and dressed in a perfect sauce. Overall, a delightful experience with some minor improvements needed.

Covewood restaurant at Mission Bay resort has a great selection for breakfast. Omelette to Belgian waffles over the top dinning. The whole staff was elegant with Tony taking the lead. Seating was perfect and we had a 5 star experience. We recommend both morning and lunch dining here. We will review the other restaurants over the next few days.

Parking for easier access is at the side park. The. You walk up the walkway all the in the back. Once you arrive you are greeted by the most modern waterfront restaurant. George waiter was so inviting and filled with positive attitude it made our lunch even better. Drinks were amazing and lunch was perfect!

I would have given this place 4 stars but the confusing and frustrating start to our morning dropped it down. I had made this breakfast reservation at Covewood because it was close to our whale watching experience. When we got there we were taken to a bench at an outdoor area that was more of a bar close to the pool with no view. When I questioned the server, I was told the restaurant had been bought out and our reservation had been moved to this small bar area. Our group was not happy with the table so we got moved to another table but it was still uncomfortable. We were finally moved to a lovely table near the harbor at the actual restaurant Covewood. The service after that was good and the food was good too. They comped our drinks for the inconvenience which included mimosas which was nice. Overall I still have them a good rating even though the start was so unpleasant.

A fantastic breakfast! We split the burger and the short rib Benedict, both were amazing! The burger was so juicy and delicious. Will definitely get again! Service was okay, it was a Sunday morning but the restaurant wasn't too full. We had to ask for help a few times but the food and the view made up for the service. Nothing beats a great view and great food. Highly recommend!
