"We were celebrating a special occasion, and the elegance and old-world charm of this historic restaurant/hotel was the perfect compliment to our celebration. Food was very good, and the service was excellent without being obtrusive. I would recommend this restaurant highly."

"Our waiter seemed new (kept forgetting about us) but was generally nice. The food was good, but the portions are fairly small and if you aren't big into seafood may not have enough options for you."

"WOW The New General Manager has put together an amazing dining experience. We did the Price Fix menu 4 courses plus the wine pairing for each dish selection. It was fabulous. I started with the ENO cheese selection which was served with apples, honey in the comb, fresh house rolls and dried fruit. The second course was a farm fresh egg served with potatoe froth and yellow mushrooms. Black Seabass was cooked to perfection and the sauce was beyond compare. A wonderful bread pudding for dessert. The portions were substantial even though it was supposed to be a tasting menu. All vegetables were raised on the grounds and the meat and cheese selections were local as well. PHENOMENAL!"

"We had the tasting menu and were very impressed. We were first seated in the "family" corner, i.e, full of whiny, load kids. They were very nice about moving us to a quieter booth. Pricey, but nice for a special occasion or generous expense account."

"1500 Ocean has all the right elements for fine dinning. Service was polite, yet not fully up to the standard that one would expect at about $100.00 / person. My suggestion to anyone else staying at the Del would be to walk down the street to Vigilucci's where you always are treated like family."

"Hard to find. Entered Hotel del Coronado main entrance and could not find any signs directing us to the restaurant. Went downstairs and only found an informal dining room with a lousy singer. Went back upstairs and told to go back downstairs, thru the bar, outside and walk to the right until we hit the restaurant. Requested a private table at time of reservation, but offered a table in the middle of the dining room instead. Asked for a private, curtained table and the staff did respond. Service was very good. Our waiter was helpful not only with suggestions, but also called our limo driver and told him how to meet us at a back entrance so we wouldn't have to "hike" back to the main entrance. Food was good... nothing too special, but tasty."
