Oceana Coastal Kitchen

We were staying at the Catamaran and I saw this beautiful restaurant, with amazing views, so I did a quick Yelp check, saw some decent reviews and gave it a try, and I am very glad we did! We came for dinner and was so pleased we came back for breakfast! For dinner we had a mix of sushi, and pasta, all of it was excellent! The sushi was unique, fresh quality fish, rolls are the perfect size and so much flavor, all the rolls were delicious, but we all agreed the house roll was the best. My sons also got sausage rigatoni - amazing, and the seared ahi tuna salad with soba noodles, which was very flavorful and ahi was cooked perfectly. For breakfast we got the pancakes, French toast, biscuits and gravy, eggs and bacon plate, and the mushroom parm omelette. Everything was excellent! I definitely recommend if your staying at the Catamaran or not, make sure you sit outside, it's a beautiful view.

For our dinner we decided to try OCEANA COASTAL KITCHEN. This restaurant is inside the Catamaran resort hotel . The lobby is beautiful, there's more of a nature feel to it.We chose to be seated outdoors, and there is a view of the beach! A lot of people on are on bikes, playing volleyball, using rentals for water activities. I didn't expect how Fun their back area would be, 'coz at the Front the place is so peaceful, but at the back there's so many people hanging out at the beach. Before I made a reservation I asked if they are serving a CRISPY WHOLE SNAPPER and the lady on the phone said they do. After the conversation with the Lady on the phone, it only took us 15 minuites to get into the restaurant and when I was about to order my Snapper fish our server said that they were out. I got dissapointed 'coz that's what I wanted to eat for dinner, but we were already seated so we just ordered the following: *PINA COLADA *CRISPY PORK RIBS *ARTICHOKE FLAT BREAD *SMOKE SALMON CITRUS ROLL *BOUILLABAISSE - Shrimp, mussels, clams, market fish, safron tomato broth, rouille, and baguette.My PINA COLADA was very good. Our PORK RIBS for our appetizer was flavorful, but it was also very Hard, the meats were hard to pull from bones. My Son had a SMOKED SALMON CITRUS ROLL and he said it was fresh and good. For the BOUILLABAISSE, my Husband said he was not impressed about it 'coz he said the broth tasted like a Minestrone soup. But I enjoyed my ARTICHOKE FLATBREAD, there was a good amount of Artichoke on them.Ambiance and service was great, some foods were good and some not. It's just an okay place.

I called ahead of time to make a reservation to be seated outside and when we got here, we were told that they didn't reserve a table for us outside so we had to be seated inside. We were willing to wait for a table to open up and even asked if they can put the tables together but the host was hesitant and didn't seem to want to help us so we just left it alone. A little disappointed coz we were looking forward to sitting outside with the kids. However, our server was very nice and helpful, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of which made up for it. We ordered oysters, a roll, crudo, mussels, ribs, hanger steak and tuna steak. It was just ok. For the price we thought it would be better, we were disappointed. The best dish was probably the crudo.

We were wanting to have a special, nice dinner while vacationing at Pacific Beach. This place was a short walk from where we were staying so we decided to give it a try. The setting is stunning! Great view looking out over Mission Bay. The service was good; our server was very friendly but she had a couple other big parties so we did have to wait a few times. It was a bit tough to find something on the menu that sounded tempting. I settled in the Bouillabaisse, but it was kind of disappointing. It wasn't as flavorful as a Chioppino. My daughter ordered the whole snapper expecting to get two filets, but to our surprise it was the whole fish. It was amazing! So tender and moist. My only suggestion would be to provide a side of the glaze they put on the fish to dip it in. All-in-all, it was a very nice dinner, but very pricey as you might expect.

A delight. Drinks and dessert were fantastic and the service was superb. This is a lovely place to relax with friends and to enjoy some lovely scenery. Wow come to mind with the panna cotta and ohhh... ahhhh... eeeee... is what you feel when sipping on one of their house special drinks. Just a great time to be sure.

We were able to make an early Friday dinner reservation and had the closest seat to the beautiful bay view.Our server Ariel was friendly and helpful. I'm so glad she recommended the chef's special of the day - a sushi roll filled with incredibly fresh shrimp. She said the chef goes to local markets on Tuesdays so keep that in mind if you want the freshest specials!The rosemary bread appetizer was so soft and fluffy. The whipped butter with black Hawaiian sea salt sounds so simple but it was my favorite. The lemon caper butter was also excellent and the olive oil tasted like pure quality.The restaurant validates your hotel parking so you can take advantage of parking on site.The only downside of our experience was that the seagulls are bold and stole a piece of sushi from our neighboring table. Every now and then a worker would come chase them away but be on guard!

Came here for brunch post spa, the experience is definitely more about the location and view. Menu is simple, typical brunch food but nothing special. I loved that we got outdoor seating that looked out into the bay. For two, we shared the buttermilk pancakes, the benedict and the breakfast burrito. Service was very friendly!

Came here for restaurant week. The outside patio is beautiful and heated. I ordered the Hamachi Crudo and Grilled Flat Iron Steak which were amazing. We also tried the Herbed Potato Gnocchi which was good but the portion was pretty small. The highlight was the desserts. Both the Fried Cannoli Ravioli and Caramel Pineapple Half Sphere were delightful, I don't think these are on the regular menu but if that's just a taste of what they do I want to try their other options. I'd definitely come back for a date night to try more on the menu.

Super nice spot. Parking is a bit confusing so we parked on the street and then walked over.The view from the restaurant inside or outside is nice. Inside there is an aquarium and outside you have a view of the water.We started off with the sushi. Super yummy with the hit of lemon. Then got brussel sprouts which is a must! Nice and crispy like chips. Had to get the bread as almost every table ordered it and we felt fomo. It came with 3 different spreads. Olive oil, butter and salt, as well as an herb butter which was the best. I got the curry chicken for my entree. The curry was flavorful and the duck was tender and juicy. Great combo, wish the curry had a little bit more flavor, but is was still good nevertheless.

Attending Chef Charles's sushi class at Oceana Kitchen was a fantastic experience. His clear instructions and passion for sushi made learning enjoyable. The kitchen setup was perfect, and Chef Charles guided us through every step of sushi-making with patience and expertise. We learned to prepare rice, roll sushi, and even gained insights into Japanese culinary traditions. The class concluded with a delicious tasting session of our creations. I highly recommend this class for anyone looking to learn sushi-making in a fun and educational environment. It's a memorable experience that leaves you eager to impress with homemade sushi!
