    Ordered the Trout, it was terrible, mushy and didn’t taste fresh. Carne Asada was good but portion was small, carnitas was ok but prefer shredded, chicken lacked flavor. Overall disappointing dinner.

    Guacamole $15.95 was bland. Could have used chopped tomatoes, cilantro, onions, lime juice. I doubt they were using avocados. I think some other kind and perhaps under ripped ones without fully ready flavor. But I make it home as much better and I don’t pay $16 for it. Salsa and chips were very good. Scallops were perfectly cooked. Trout was very nicely done but just half of the small trout a little bit of white rice/risotto that was very unremarkable. Steak added to macho salad was good. Too much dressing I’ll be at good dressing. Too little amount of beats and interesting things in the salad . What does the restaurant have against serving green vegetable options?

    I am highly satisfied with the lovely experience I had at Coasterra! It is an ideal restaurant in San Diego to celebrate a birthday or other special occasion with a fantastic view. The food was good, and the service was exceptional. I would definitely recommend a visit to Coasterra!

    I used to love this place, which is why I decided to celebrate my mom’s birthday here. The location/views are amazing and the restaurant is beautiful. I do not know if the previous chef left or what happened but the food is just terrible now. The calamari was very salty- the tortilla soup was the worst. We also ordered carnitas, which were okay but not great. Margaritas tasted like they had no alcohol. Wine was good. All in all, this dinner was NOT worth what we ended up paying for a party of three. There was no birthday acknowledgment either, so I am unsure why they even ask if you’re celebrating a special occasion when you make the reservation. If we do go back, it will be just for the view and probably for a glass of wine. I would not recommend going there for dinner-Don’t waste your money.

    We had a delicious dinner celebrating our wedding anniversary. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was romantic. The view of the harbor at sunset and of the city were unbeatable. We will definitely be back next time we are in San Diego!
