Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Coasterra offers a stunning waterfront dining experience in San Diego with "breathtaking views" and "excellent service." The atmosphere is vibrant and the restaurant is noted for its "impeccable" hospitality. While some dishes are hits, like the swordfish tacos, there are mixed reviews on food quality. Nonetheless, it's a "must-visit" for special occasions, offering memorable views and a lively ambiance.

    The food was consistently tasty. From the charcuterie to the Mac n cheese, the turkey to the prime rib.

    Fairly disappointing Christmas meal... food wasn't very good. Lacked flavor and temperature of food was "cold" or luke warm at least. Typically, we've had a good experience here dining off their regular menu but the holiday buffet was a disappointment.

    This was our first time eating out at Coasterra. The food was excellent. My husband felt that service could have been a little better.

    Been here many times. Always great service. Food selection on the buffet was good. A couple of the selections in pans seemed a little cold to luke warm. Like the sterno cans weren’t working. Let them know so they could check it. All else was good.

    The Christmas/holiday brunch buffet @ Coasterra was great! There was a great selection of food and the staff was attentive and ensured that all food items were fully stocked and available in the buffet area. My favorites were the tamales, mac & cheese, and soup station, all of which were so delicious. I would highly recommend Coasterra for a holiday brunch buffet as well as their regular menu, as I have previously dined here and have had nothing but a wonderful experience. Delicious food with gorgeous views of the Downtown skyline can't be beat, holidays or not.
