Serẽa is proud to bring an exquisite sea-to-table dining experience to San Diego in a comfortable yet sophisticated setting.
Located just steps from the beach in the legendary Hotel del Coronado, the restaurant's key focus is the bounty of the sea. The menu focuses on sustainable seafood, with a coastal cuisine menu that spotlights the best of the region's oceans, farms and fields, ranging from the California Coast down to the Baja Peninsula.
Creative cuisine with a global flair is prepared by San Diego's own Chef Jojo Ruiz, who creates elegant, fresh dishes with just a hint of Mediterranean flair.

*Serea & The Hotel Del Coronado are currently undergoing a once in a century transformation, after 100 years, we felt a facelift was in order!
We wish you to be aware there will be evolving changes to the way we are able to serve you during this period as Serea and The Hotel Del Coronado are reimagined for generations to come.*

A wonderful experience in an historic setting. I was impressed our server, Sean, brought us samples of wine we were confused about to help in making a decision. It was our wedding anniversary and we were also given a complementary glass of Chandon champagne and dessert. We were disappointed in sauce on the calamari appetizer, but all,else was fine.

Our expectations of this restaurant were wonderful delivered. We had the grilled Sea Bass, Octopus and Greek salad. They were delicious. We sat at the bar waiting for our table since we came a little early. The drinks were amazingly delicious as well. Services were wonderful.
