Coasterra

Our original restaurant plan was closed on Mondays, but Sunya said let's meet up here. I had never been so it would be great to try somewhere new. The space is beautiful! Right over the water with a nice view of downtown San Diego. If you're dining solo, the bar looks very inviting. We were given a nice big round table on the deck to the left. It would've been nice if we were a little more front and center, but this would do. Our server was great! Attentive but not intrusive and very respectful of our group because it gave us all a chance to catch up. Everyone ordered something different, and they all looked very happy. The presentations were beautiful! I had the scallops, and for the price point, I thought I'd get at lease four and some type of starch. The description sounded promising, but it looked like three scallops and four pieces of thick cut bacon on top of a mixed green salad. But it was all delicious...I just think it's a reflection of the times we're living.We did get a "pitcher" of margaritas which were very good, and the chips and salsa were good too. But honestly, this is far from a Mexican restaurant. Again, great space, great service, and I'd consider coming back.

This is a lovely little gem tucked into the east end of Harbor Island Dr. We went here for drinks after walking the trail on Harbor Island Dr,on a hot afternoon. The ambiance was lovely. The beer was delicious, and the server was engaging.We went back for an evening snack and enjoyed a seat looking at the naval base across the harbor (husband was stationed there back in the day). We had the most delicious ceviche and calamari. Again, lovely ambiance and a great server.

Stunning views of San Diego. We came at night during Comic Con week and were lucky enough to see fireworks from our table.Everything was served and prepared to perfection. The ceviche was phenomenal. The queso was flavorful and creamy, served with warm tortillas. The best of all was the Paella. Wow. The best Parlla I've ever had the pleasure of consuming. It had chorizo, clams, mussels, shrimp and squid. The rice was creamy and made the dish really special.A beautiful restaurant with great food and impeccable service. Thank you!

Father's Day was gloomy at Coasterra but it still provided a great view of the water! I originally booked a reservation beginning of June because I knew it was going to be busy. I did prefer outside seating, however, we were seated indoors. I didn't mind too much since it was cold, but they did not honor seating preferences. Ceviche Trio (2/5): I've had a better fair of ceviche and this trio was not worth it. I wanted my family to try multiple things but this wasn't our favorite. Crispy Masa Calamari (4/5): This was a nice appetizer and the batter is crispy! I liked the chipotle aioli they smothered on the plate. White Corn & Poblano Soup (4/5): This was a nice sweet flavor without it being too overwhelming with corn. It was a thick consistency and tasted like a cheddar soup. Prime 32oz Ribeye (5/5): This was the best entree that was fulfilling in flavor and portion size. This could have easily almost fed 3-4 people, but is listed as an entree for two. For accompaniments the mushrooms, green beans, and patatas bravas were all delicious choices!Other items ordered were the Crispy Carnitas En Adobo Tomatillo and Chargrilled Carne Asada. The carnitas is a very small portion so just be wary. We had a wonderful server! He ensured us of how long it will be since we did order steaks and dishes that need more time. Entrees took ~35 min and we did get too full off of chips and salsa by the time. I'm not too keen on coming back for the food, however, it was a great space for the views and to celebrate holidays. My rating overall would be about a 3.5 stars for Coasterra.

Absolutely loved our dinner here! The service staff were phenomenal. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I ordered the Skirt Steak for dinner and it was the best! So flavorful. The butter they put on top is magic! We made sure to make a reservation and they were very accommodating when we needed to move the time a bit. However, we asked to sit inside, and we were told it was "fully booked" but there was not a single person sat inside for the entirety of our 2 hours at the restaurant. So that was weird. Maybe they didn't have the staff for it? Honesty would just be great!I also drank the strawberry spritz and probably would not order it again. It was okay. I definitely thought it was going to taste a little sweeter and more like strawberry because of the name. However, it was just a normal aperol spritz to my taste buds!I would absolutely come back here. The views are stunning and can't be beat. The food was phenomenal, and the service was great too.

Somehow I've lived in San Diego forever but never been here before now. We came here recently with some out of town guests. Beautiful views and really nice indoor and outdoor seating. Service was very good and our server was helpful with making decisions. The complementary chips and salsa were excellent! Perfectly spicy salsa. The guacamole was also super fresh, a big portion, and tasted great. My favorite part was the Noble Margarita (basically, a Cadillac margarita). It was perfect! Well balanced, fresh, not skimpy on the tequila. For my main I had tried the Combination Plate. The carne asada taco was good (could have used a bit more meet and the tortilla was over grilled), the cheese enchilada with mole was unique but the flavor was a little off to me, and the empanada was my favorite! Overall I enjoyed the lunch and will definitely come back.

You won't find a good restaurant with better views of the San Diego downtown skyline than Coasterra!

Had a work dinner here and it was such a beautiful experience. We sat outside and enjoyed the evening city view of SD. Service was friendly and attentive, kindly explaining dishes that we had questions about. I got a cocktail that had lemon and lavender, which was delicious and refreshing. My entree was pork belly with generously large scallops, which melted in my mouth. The desserts our group shared were also great (if you have the appetite for it, or go with a large group, I'd recommend you try one of every dessert!)

The venue's location is amazing. So much fun to people watch and check out the craft in the bay. They have a nice bar area of you won't to skip food. The food was "fine". Which to us means uninspired. Grab tacos at a tack shop and come for cocktails and the view.

This place is perfect we came for a lunch and got in within 10 minutes. The hosts were friendly and organized. Our server was amazing and was confident and honest when we asked for recommendations. The surf & turf quesadilla was delicious and so was their San Diego local cocktails. Every person we interacted with here was professional and kind. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!
