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.

Lovely service, nice menu with both land and sea choices, nice wine list, and bright ambiance. If sun's still out, recommend arriving early for casual ambiance cocktails at "Sun Deck", the Hotel del's casual outdoor bar overlooking the beach. Just follow the Sun Deck curve till you locate comfy seats overlooking white sands. After you get your "view fix" at Sun Deck, then head to Serea restaurant for your (indoor recommended) dining experience. For dinner parking, recommend street parking close to hotel del (safe, flat, ample, and free 2 hours & after 6pm.) Otherwise restaurant offers $10 worth of validation towards "self-park" at Hotel del parking lot, but $10 may not cover your entire hotel parking lot fee. Enjoy your amazing dinner and service at Serea!

Great ambiance, pretty good service. Some dishes were great: halibut ceviche, king salmon. Others were so-so - like my swordfish. The side vegetable was unevenly cooked - ran the gamut between charred and raw. Grilled oysters were drenched in garlic butter even though we had asked for very light saucing. For an expensive restaurant, these lapses are a problem.

This is my second time dining here and it was just as disappointing as the first. My shrimp was tough and overcooked, the Mexican style cocktail sauce was runny and tasteless, and my chicken was over cooked. The best part of the sauce was the smear of date sauce on the chicken plate. My guest had a filet which she did say was delicious. And way overpriced. We ordered the eggplant and zucchini chips that never came. We asked after this and our waiter told us they weren’t marking these this night. All in all it was disappointing.

From the staff to the food it made my mom’s birthday amazing. Best fish I ever had. We also had the Message in the Bottle Sundae and there was a message in the bottle saying “Happy Birthday”. Which made the dinner extra special and yet personal. By the way…best ice cream that I ever had. Even though the dessert was around $20 but it was worth it because it was 4 giant scoops of ice cream which I think is a good deal. With drinks all around, appetizer, main dish, 3 sides, and dessert. Our bill was about $100 less than Herb & Sea. Our server Mark was AMAZING. He was knowledgeable when it comes to the menu, love his humor, personable, and attentive but not in an annoying way. Bottom line is…it was the only restaurant that I ever ate that great food with a great view. Usually it’s either one of the other.

The location of this restaurant is hard to beat. You have a view of the courtyard of the Hotel Del Coronado and have ocean views. There was a little awkwardness with our hostess as we did arrive early for our reservation and we were told we would get a text when our table was ready. We waited until after our reservation time and she seated us right away with no explanation of the lack of text. A minor complaint but they were not crazy busy that night. The food seemed to take quite a while to come out but it was delicious. Would recommend as I expect the service is probably better on most nights.

It’s hard to find the superlatives to describe our experience at Serea. The hostess was most amenable to our request for seating. The ambiance is fabulous. Everything we ordered was cooked and displayed to perfection. The wait staff could not have been more effaced professional. I look forward to our next visit!

It's a great setting at Hotel del Coronado with outdoor seating and a view of the Pacific. We had reservations for outdoor seating but were seated under a covered patio instead which is not what we wanted, but it was still nice. It's primarily a seafood restaurant which is what we wanted. My wife had ceviche and I had the tuna. Food was pretty good, but the atmosphere is what you're really paying for in my opinion.

Had a wonderful time at Serea celebrating my Mother-in-Law's birthday with family Sunday evening. Our server Missy and her team were amazing and attentive! The ambiance was beautiful and the food was fresh and great recommendations by our server. The ceviche and wood fired snapper were my favorites. Only thing that I can was just say was OK were the desserts, there was only ice cream, cheesecake and chocolate coconut cake to choose from - we got all three and the ice cream came out with a birthday candle, it was a sweet gesture. We appreciated it and their accommodations for our large party of eight. Thank you!

The service,food and prices were outstanding. I did not like the credit card process of paying the bill as the waiter indicated that I had to chose the amount of the tip first. I was not given the choice to choose another tip percentage other than 18% or higher.. I wanted other lower % of tip available presented on the electronic payment screen.

Paid $42 per pound for the spotted bass and had it prepared wood flame grill not fried and was the worst tasting chewy fish I have ever eaten. At 2.5 pounds when quoted for 2 pounds and after deboning the portions were tiny. Never been so ripped off at a restaurant before. The grilled octopus, Greek fries and Brussels sprouts were great. Ambiance great as well. Just paying so much for the worst tasting and textured fish for $105 total wasn’t worth it. I ended up using the tzatziki from the Greek fries to mask the taste of the fish just to eat it.
