Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Coasterra is a vibrant dining destination with "spectacular views of San Diego Bay" and "excellent service." Guests rave about the "delicious food," especially the Wagyu Poblano Burger and chicken mole enchiladas. The ambience is perfect for special occasions, and while some find it "pricey," the "memorable experience" and "friendly staff" are well worth it.

    Excellent food and presentation. Our server Kevin was good. However, we sat outside in the back next to their “private” event space and the host in that side was yelling through a microphone as if she was at a county fair.

    Wagyu burger was delicious!! I recommend sitting outside. Even with the wind, the heaters were amazing and I wasn’t chilly at all.

    As at most restaurants throughout San Diego, prices at Coasterra have escalated in recent months, but the service, ambience, and food are still superb.

    I wish we could say we had a wonderful experience, but we did not. The host staff was very friendly and we received a warm greeting at the front door. However, our server Kevin was just what made the night a terrible experience. I have never dined here before so I was hoping for some guidance/suggestions on the menu. None was given. My dad had asked him for some spicy salsa for the chips and when Kevin forgot to bring it, my dad gently reminded him and Kevin gave him the an extremely rude and sarcastic response. I was blown away with his attitude. When our entrées came, I did not have silverware for my clams and muscles. I had to fly down a bus boy to get a spoon and fork to eat with. Our drinks took an exceptionally long time and we ordered a second round, We were almost done with our meal when they finally came. We were never offered a second bottle of sparkling water, which we wanted and were never given refills on our house water as well. When it was time for dessert, Kevin came over and said I will be back with the check. We were not offered dessert menus. We were not offered coffee, he sat down the complementary birthday dessert and walked away. We had no idea what this dessert was. I had to flag him down again to ask him because I have an allergy. We would’ve ordered a second dessert and an after dinner cocktail. We felt rushed and we felt that we were an inconvenience to him and we felt that we were no longer wanted in this establishment. So incredibly disappointed as we were here for my father‘s birthday. Our server did not make it a wonderful experience.

    Although we had reservations and were 10min early, our table wasn’t ready and we had to wait to be seated. Glasses weren’t filled frequently, means we had some empty ones sitting on the table while waiting for a soda/water refill. Server literally CLEARED/CLEANED OFF the entire table while some people were still eating and you pretty much felt like you had to hold on to your plate. Supposedly free bday desert was brought to the table without being ordered and ended up as a charge on the check. So yeah, I think that was my last time at that place.
