    Celebrated anniversary here. Dinner and service staff were excellent. The drinks were also spot on. View from our table showed the lit up San Diego skyline which was very nice. Would return here again and I would highly recommend Coasterra to anyone looking for a fine dining experience.

    The restaurant is on the edge the water with unbelievable views of San Diego and the bay at night. It's a high-end Mexican food place. The food was good but not outstanding. My fish was a tad overcooked and our bread pudding dessert was completely dry. We did not eat much of it. However the ahi tuna appetizer was great as were the enchiladas. Pretty great selection of wines and Cocktails. The ambience was amazing.

    Had a wonderful lunch on a perfect day. No cocktails for us, but all three diners really liked our food: Ahi tostada, crunch fish tacos (diner reported sauce was pretty spicy), and pear/fig/shrimp salad were all beautifully prepared and delicious. Our view of the skyline was insane and dramatic with a storm rolling in. All three of our servers were great, didn’t interrupt us mid-thought or swallow, and our order arrived with perfect time to make our flights.

    Unbeatable view. Exceptional service. Food is not worth the price but you’re paying for the view and service. 4/5
