    It was my first time and I loved it. The views are terrific only to be outdone by service and the food. Our server was very professional and personable. In addition, our food was excellent. Home made chips and fresh ingredients. I’m a fan and will return.

    We started with the table guacamole, which was delicious. The blood orange margarita was outstanding and the Mahi Tacos were great. It’s big and sharable. The churros are fresh and mouthwatering good. Service was great! Plenty of outdoor seating right on the bay. There is indoor seating as well that is elevated so the view is perfect. No complaints at all!

    Coasterra always has one of the best views in SD, looking out across the Bay and downtown, especially pretty at night. The food is good, but I feel like you pay more for the view. The restaurant has a lot of hard surfaces in its construction, so on busy nights like this one, it is very loud, so not the place to go for intimate conversation. We sat outside on the patio. It got progressively chillier as the night wore on. We kept requesting to have the overhead heater turned on, and the wait staff kept telling us that it was turned on, but we needed to be patient, that sometimes it takes a while to warm up. The heater was clearly broken, and never came on, and the chill put a bit of a damper on our evening. Very late in the dinner, the waitress did bring out blankets for the group, but only after we complained about the heater for about the 5th time.

    Food was so bland and service was really slow and pretty forgetful. It was packed busy but won’t come here again. The food was promising but wow do they use salt or any spice?

    One steak was cooked perfectly (ordered it medium rare to get it medium), the other steak was ordered medium and it came back well done). That was disappointing! Needless to say, we just left the second one. We ordered two Caesar salads. They were both awful, dry, no dressing to speak of with cheese on top of lettuce chunks, seeds on top and not flavorful. I’ve been to Coasterra many times, but this time was underwhelming. The drinks were the only good thing and the tres leche cake.
