   I was celebrating my wife's birthday at this restaurant. She had bone marrow and we did the taste of wagyu and we had a skirt steak. I also had the surf and turf tartar and we both had a drink. They did not do anything extra for her birthday. I was quite surprised by that. Also I asked for private seating but they did not give that to us either. They put us by the door where the most traffic came through. The service was great but some of the food was not so great. We had potatoes au gratin and it was salty. One of the steaks for the taste of wagyu was hard to chew in and a little bit tough. The wood fire broccoli was charred too much so it tasted just like burnt broccoli. The best thing I ate was probably the surf and turf tartar. I cannot tell you how good that was but it was amazing! For $342 plus a $50 tip I feel like it could have been a much better experience. When someone is celebrating a holiday and they put that in the reservation you should do something for that couple since they're paying so much money for this. And I put private seating but if they did not have private seating they could have just put us in the corner or somewhere away from all the main traffic. There are many other restaurants that I would recommend over this one because the cost per the value is not so high. If you're going to spend $400 for a meal then spend it somewhere where they're going to pay attention to the reservation details and where the food may be better. Also I'll type in Google the most romantic restaurants in San Diego and this one popped up but it's not romantic. The ambience is energetic, the people dress very businesslike, and there's no privacy. Its not letting me upload photos

   Loved our meal. Wedge salad, filet mignonette and augratin potatoes. Not a fan of spinach with truffle oil but that is just me. Service impeccable.

   Excellent service. Exceptional martinis. Exceptional wine pairings. We had the tasting menu- it was very nice overall, and a good value for the money.

   Compared to other similar steak dining experiences in the San Diego area this was rather disappointing.

   The food was fabulous. Steak was cooked perfect. Anna was our server and she was wonderful. We celebrated 2 birthdays and the free dessert they gave us was delicious. The prices are a little high, but it was still worth it and it was a great experience.

    The whole experience was incredible. The food and service were top notch and really set this place aside from the other restaurants in coronado. It’s fairly pricey but worth every penny. Definitely going to be coming back and recommending it to everybody I know. Adam was very accommodating and hit the nail on the head with every one of his recommendations. An asset to the company for sure.

    First time at Stake. Very nice upscale room, some out side tables too. Service is outstanding. Honored reservation with no wait. Waiter (Adam) was at the table promptly, took drink orders and explained the "Chief Menu", a five course serving which we opted for, with a wine pairing. He stayed with us, very attentive. An amuse-bouche was served, excellent. Then a large tasty seafood tower, very good. Then a lite salad. The meat portion came with two different cuts of beef, a potato/cheese dish, and Brussel sprouts. One cut of meat was tough, which was immediately taken back and replaced. All very good food. Dan, our sommelier, served each of the wine selections, with an explanation of their appellation; all very good. Finally a large wedge of dark chocolate cake for our birthday celebration. All of this is a bit expensive but worth it. A memorable evening.

    Wow! Outstanding evening. Apps, mains, deserts all outstanding. Duck was a highlight along with wagyu center eye. Great drinks and wine list. Service was friendly, helpful and attentive without hovering (which I hate!). It was not an inexpensive evening, but as they say, you get what you pay for! When we are next in Coronado, we’ll be back.

    I came to San Diego from Colorado for a long weekend birthday celebration. I chose Stake to celebrate my 50th birthday with a few close friends. I had been here once before and really enjoyed the dining experience. Once again, the food was incredible and service was AMAZING! The experience couldn’t have been any better. Thank you for helping make my milestone birthday super special. I will definitely be back next time I’m in town!!!

    This was our second time with having “The Experience” for our anniversary. It met every expectation both for quality, quantity and presentation. The steaks were amazing and the dessert a unique treat. Thank you for making the meal so memorable and thank you to Kris for being a genial and very competent server. We hope to return again and celebrate our happy moments with you.

    We have been to Stake many times, but this past time was a disaster. Problem and problem occurred that included incredibly undercooked meat followed by burnt meat and cold food. Once things were right, the food was good, but it took way too long to get things right.

    host need to be more energetic and have that friendly smile. The reserve sitting was very close to the entrance and i'm not a fan of people keep on going in and out while i'm enjoying a good dinner and celebrating a special occasion. our server did a good job explaining the menu but he only check us one's or twice i think he need to be more focus on he's table and maybe check on customer's and chat a little bit about the food. The noise was horrible because we are sitting close to some of the guest that has 5 teen kids so i really did not enjoy the crowd it's hard to have a conversation when around you are most are kids, and on my head i thought this is a quite unique steak house restaurant. I have been so many steak house and this is the first time i went to restaurant i feel i'm eating at chilli's . overall the steak is amazing.

    UPDATE: within 30 minutes of writing this review, I received a call from Patrick, the Manager. Excellent customer care. Changed my overall rating as a result. The food was delicious with the exception of the Halibut, which was overcooked, dry and burnt on the edges. Our server, Nate, did a very good job of being attentive, was knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations for our meals. We ordered a bottle of wine, cocktails and wines by the glass, overall, we were unimpressed with the sommeliers attitude. Unfortunately leaving us with a less than stellar review, 4 stars for Nate, overall 3 for dry fish and poor customer care on sommeliers part.
