    Service was extremely slow, prices are high which is fine if you live up to expectations…the tuna tartar was sub par, the filet came out medium well when we ordered medium rare and had to send it back after waiting an hour. The romescada was tasty but it should be for $72. Overall would not recommend.

    I will do almost anything that includes a trip to Hotel Del. I mean, the grounds, location and buildings is super cool. Serea was easy to find and on the beach but about 100 years from the water. Food selection was somewhat limited but I'm observing more and more of that trend. I'm guessing a limited menu keeps costs in check. The food that we did have was solid. Nothing over the top but good and the service was good. But you don't come here for top notch food and service, you come here for the location.

    My best dining experience in Coronado. The food was phenomenal and the ambience was amazing. I was pleasantly surprised that most of the menu was available to be made gluten free. I highly recommend the grilled fish which they debone table side. Everything was so fresh and well prepared. Very pricy but an unforgettable dining experience!

    We had to wait 45mins for our reserved table. We asked for food to come one after the other so it would not get cold yet they served everything together. Our flash fish was almost burnt. Our cocktails were terrible.

    Had such a great Easter lunch, could not wait to get back again however dinner was disappointing. Service was so slow. And confusing. While we ordered simple items on the menu like the whole fish is lacked any depth. Very fresh food and nice presentation. We were told about dessert cookies for after dinner but did not receive them and decided we needed to go since the meal service took so long. Not eager to return at this point.

    It was me and my wife's anniversary and Tony our waiter was wonderful and attentive. Made our dinning experience that much enjoyable. The food was FANTASTIC so my complements to the kitchen and staff. Our hostess was very welcoming and thoughtful. The view was spectacular for a Sunday Brunch. Definitely making plans to comeback and try the rest of the menu.

    The ambiance is very soothing and perfect for a date night. We enjoyed the wood grilled whole red snapper, that gets filetéd table side. It was so flavorful and just had simple lemon and herbs on top. I highly recommend the crispy eggplant and zucchini starter. It was perfectly crispy and salty with a yogurt dip. We loved our server, he offered us great recommendations. He’d lived in Coronado for 27 years and was so welcoming and a great host.

    we were seated 8;15 PM served water and took our order immediately, it's 9;35 and they turned off the heater when I started asking for our order, after 5 mins. I was finally served. the Manager came over to apologize for the food being delayed and offered us a slice of bread. The food price isn't the issue but the service!!

    Simply over-rated and over-priced. The food was average and the service process was just bizarre. We had a reservation for Mothers Day. The table wasn't ready, then they didnt have enough chairs, then the kids food came 26 minutes before the adults...so kids were done and squirly before we even started to eat...parental nightmare. Prices were very high for portion size and for quality. You're clearly just paying to be at the Del. The physical space is nice and our waiter was a nice guy. Would just not recommend this place.

    I took my mom and girlfriend for mothers day and the first thing out of the server’s mouth was ‘let’s run up a high tab for this guy.’ Probably just a bad joke but it really made me mad. The food was average, not as fresh as usual and definitely not worth the price. The wood grilled sea bass was amazing as was the view.

    I have been to Serea many times, usually good service and food. Today we arrived on time for our reservation and they had us wait for over 30 minutes without apologies. After finally getting a table, we ordered appetizers and it took them an additional 45 minutes to get food on the table.

    Could not have asked for a more beautiful setting to dine! Looking out to the beach and Pacific Ocean, the stunning Hotel del Coranado in the background, the scenery is simply gorgeous. Our server, Youssef was thoughtful, descriptive and attentive. We ordered cocktails which were tasty as well as delicious, the beet salad was prepared with the right amount balance of beets, greens and cheese. We shared several small plates including the octopus which was grilled to perfection. Hope to return to this remarkable destination soon!

    The service was nice and ambient romantic setting was fantastic- We had the delicious beet salad, grilled octopus, a fried whole fish and yummy fried sprouts . My only complaint was that the fish wasn’t really seasoned but fried well and edible - the accompanying flatbread was dry the tomato sauce was bitter and not tasty.
