    Had a great lunch! Food was very good and service was excellent. The waiter could tell we were into talking so he left us be, but kept checking in with us. It was a three hour very pleasant lunch. Delightful.

     What a turnaround now the Cohen has taken over Coasterra.!  we made reservations for a party of four at 1:30 we were I should immediately to our table. The view of the bay was incredible. We all ordered the two tostadas and the hamburger, we we agreed everything was delicious and the girls couldn’t finish as everything was so plentiful and delicious. If you’ve been to C-level next-door the hamburger is the same. We only recommend this new menu.

    Food was good service was ok, a bit slow but ok. I think the fact that there wasn’t some sort of anniversary dessert or even a congratulatory is a bit odd for a high end restaurant. Guess I was just expecting a little more

    Tableside guacamole is delicious and a nice visual addition to your dining experience. Enjoyed our trout, salmon and enchiladas. The best water view of downtown. Servers were terrific.

    We made a last minute reservation and luckily were able to get seats. The food was delicious, the drinks were so good, the oceanfront was so beautiful, and although it was expensive, it was worth it! Wonderful experience!

    The location is just great; we sat at the edge by the water, perfect San Diego day to be there. The food was just great, especially the shrimp cocktail, just delicious.

    We had a great experience at the bar and in the dining room. It was a busy Saturday afternoon but our server was fun, helpful in what we ordered, and our food was delicious. Excellent beer selection and our cocktails (coconut, skinny jalapeño, and mezcal jalapeño margaritas!) were perfect. I believe the manager’s name was Troy and he was excellent, interactive, and very friendly. We also all agreed that we favor their lunch menu over their dinner options. See you soon!
