    My new favorite spot in San Diego! I had no idea Reuben E. Lee was gone and this beautiful venue replaced it! I am so glad! This visit we stuck to the Happy Hour menu for food, but the main menu looked so tasty! The margarita very strong and had too much ice, but the wine was tasty! The chips, salsa and guacamole were wonderful and the guacamole was a hearty portion - well worth the cost. The ceviche was just okay, it was packed with what should have been delicious ingredients and in the end it was pretty tasteless. The service was A+ and the view, well there are no words.

    Food, views, vibes & service were all 10/10. I came on a Tuesday night at 7pm to celebrate my husband's birthday. It was pretty already, but we had a reservation. We got seated quickly and got lucky with a side table and perfect view of the city. We saw it during sunset and at night with all the lights. They give you chips and salsa to start and we got the spicy margarita and strawberry margarita both were tasty and easy to drink. We opted to get the paella for 2 which takes a little extra time to prepare but was well worth the wait. It was so flavorful with all the seafood being a nice touch of salt. It was a little spicy but the cream sauce balanced it well. The rice was fluffy but crispy on the bottom. It could've fed 4 people probably. We got a complimentary slice of strawberry tres leches and it was the perfect ending to our meal. So incredibly light and not too sweet. Our server, Abdo made our dining experience even better with his friendliness and attention to the fact that we were celebrating something. All the staff we interacted with were pleasant and attentive. I'll definitely be back to try other things on their menu and would highly recommend!

    We are total creatures of habit and always end up at C Level for lunch whenever we're in San Diego, but we've been eyeing Coasterra next door for a while now. Decided to finally mix things up this time, and it did not disappoint! It's definitely an upscale Mexican spot, but the main draw right off the bat is the location. We got hooked up with a waterfront table, and the views of downtown SD and the Coronado Bridge are unreal. Here's what we ordered: Queso Fundido: Started with this and it was delicious. Famous Fajitas (Shrimp & Steak): Hands down the highlight. The meat was super well-seasoned and the charred veggies added so much flavor. Tampiqueña: Really solid and flavorful. Note on the chips: The chips here are a little different than what you usually get at a typical neighborhood Mexican joint--a bit thicker/different texture--but still tasty! All in all, everything was fabulous. If you're stuck in a routine of only going to C Level, definitely give Coasterra a try! We're super glad we finally did.

    The scenery/view was incredible

    An Unforgettable Birthday Celebration! I took my husband here for his birthday this past Monday, and the entire experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. First, the location and the views are simply stunning. It set the perfect backdrop for a celebratory evening. But what really elevated the vibe was the music! The playlist was so on point that I literally found myself dancing in my seat to every single song. It created such a fun, lively energy. I also have to give a massive shoutout to our waiter, who was incredibly attentive, warm, and anticipated our every need. The entire staff went above and beyond to make my husband feel so wonderfully celebrated. From a sweet little "Happy Birthday" sign to a surprise dessert at the end of the meal, every detail was thoughtful and perfectly executed. This place is truly incredible. We will absolutely be back!

    Wagu burger

    I am a huge fan of all of the Cohn restaurants. Coasterra is one of the only ones in San Diego that I had never experienced until now. So I was very excited to see what this place had to offer. Celebrated my daughter's 19th birthday here this week, and to be honest, I was not impressed. The location and views from this place are unmatched. Tons of covered patio seating with a breathtaking view of the downtown skyline. As for the food, it was just ok. It was mostly mexican seafood, but there was a good mix of other items like steak and a wagu burger. Everything was served hot and fresh, but in my honest opinion, everything just lacked flavor. Everything I tasted was just bland, and I tasted a little bit of all of my family's meals. But everyone agreed. Maybe we are just spoiled with San Diego Mexican food. My biggest complaint of the night was the service. Our waiter started off well. He took our drink orders and when he returned, asked if we wanted to get appetizers started, which we did. Our appetizers came out and were finished and we still had not seen our server to order our main dinner. This continued to be the issue all night, we were constantly looking and waiting for our server. There were other servers that came around and filled our drinks and took our plates, and they were great! But we really didn't see our main server most of the night. And one of the times that we did walk by, my daughter asked for a new glass of water because she had dropped food into the glass. He took the glass and never came back. I ended up giving my daughter my water. I did notice that the servers at the other tables were awesome. They were attentive, and we constantly saw them checking on their guest. And like I said, we are fans of all of the Cohn restaurants we have dined at before, so the level of service we received is not typical. Maybe our server was new??? I will say, this is not a cheap place to eat. My family of 5 spent almost $240 and that was with no alcohol or desserts. So you would expect to receive a high level of service. Other than the ambience, our experience was just ok. I would highly recommend the restaurants next door, which are owned by the same owner, and have never disappointed us in quality and/or service (Island Prime or C-Level).

    So the second time around, I would have to say this was a much better experience. I did go during lunch and not dinner. Our server David was super attentive and welcoming. He kept checking in on our food and we did hit a hiccup which was we put in the order for the kids first, but it didn't come till much after our adult entrées came so again I would say the consistency still need some growth but overall it was much better than my last time. You can see the picture where our food wise and we waited for about 12 minutes until the kids food came. I will give the extra Star because of David and the service that he provided checking in on us refilling our water. He was very attentive and very kind This time we did try some new dishes like the mahi tacos, which were good, but the fish was a little tough. The trout plate which was cooked actually very well and my kids both got hamburgers. Again, beautiful scenery and the food was overall good for some reason we had a hiccup again. Nothing can be perfect but again I will say that service was great. The view was amazing as usual and glad to revisit.

    Fried calamari
    Ika I.

    Delicious food, great view, and wonderful hospitality! On our last evening in San Diego, we went to Coasterra to wrap up our vacation there. This restaurant came highly recommended by major Visit San Diego websites, and we felt we should give it a try. Located right next to the water, the restaurant offers expansive view of the harbor and the San Diego skyline. Sitting is about 50/50 indoor vs. outdoor, and we chose the indoor sitting as it tended to get colder in the evening. Parking is available out front, but we took Lyft there. We came in around Happy Hour, and we were able to score two appetizers for $11 each. We got fried calamari and fish cervice as appetizers. For entree, we had the fish tacos and scallops. Both of the appetizers were excellent, and the cervice was so light and flavorful. My husband loved his scallop entree, and the taste and presentation were original and outstanding. My fish taco was enjoyable as well. For dessert, we had fresh churro that was paired with ice cream, which was excellent as well. Our meal came to $143 with taxes, which was a very good value with the quality and services offered. Our waiter was attentive and friendly, which made us felt right at home. As for the ambiance, it felt modern and relaxed. There were diverse customers from locals, tourists, and business people. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and we will return.

    Tortilla Soup
    Sean M.

    The food was good and for the setting (both the establishment and the city) was not overpriced. Our server was friendly and took good care fo us. We likely will not be going back simply because the place was just too loud. My wife and I spent the evening shouting back and forth to each other other. It's quite large, the music is loud, and they don't do anything to dampen the sound. Their giant patio was hosting someone's business event as well as some family affairs, which meant we had a bunch of toddlers (one of whom was in only a diaper) running around on the other side of the glass. That's fine, families have to go out too it's just not what we expected from this particular place when we made the reservation. Since I have it, I'll include a photo of the tortilla soup, which was quite good.

    I checked this spot out for my birthday and unfortunately was not very impressed. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant and its view, but the food was lacking pretty severely. I ordered the enchiladas rancheras and it had a quite bitter taste, with the rice being a bit stale as well. The salmon was dry. We got churros for dessert (it came with ice cream) and that was probably the most enjoyable aspect of the meal.

    Ceviche Trio
    Irene B.

    Made reservations on open table but the space is so big there were still lots of vacancies when we went for a Saturday lunch. Ordered the crispy calamari, ceviche trio, and ahi tuna tostada. Enjoyed the different flavors of ceviche and was a fan of the super crispiness of calamari. My fav was the ahi tuna tostada. Super dressed up and had a good mix of crunchy, tart, salty, and mildly spicy. The restaurant has a great view of the ocean especially if you sit outside. Our waiter was very friendly and our food came out in a timely manner.

    enchiladas suizas
    Elle T.

    i was pleasantly surprised! we've gone a couple times in groups & everything has been tasty. we especially liked the mole enchiladas which had great depth of flavor. enchiladas suizas are also a classic w their creamy green sauce & gooey cheese - the ones here had good chunks of scallop & shrimp. i also liked that they came w pickled onions on top to help balance out the richness we also liked the churros which came w a nice toasted caramel, as well as all the drinks we tried. chips & salsa are complimentary & they have no problem giving you more. both times we went, our servers were v friendly & attentive. & there's also a lovely panoramic view of the bay, even from inside

    Campechana
    Jacky P.

    The ambiance is welcoming. Music playing in the background. You have two options stand in bar area or sit with a view. We opted for a view by the beach. We definitely splurged. As it was our first time here and we thought the food portions would be small. Wrong. You definitely get your money's worth so be mindful when ordering. Capechana- decent - could be a shared appetizer if you want sea food. Agua Aguachiles- decent - could also be shared as an appetizer. To close it off we had steak and lobster. (Totally shareable) - more on the pricer side. But definitely worth it. Service was greag. Our waiter check in on us a few times but it didnt feel as if he was all over when we felt rushed so this was a plus. We were here for about two hours talking and enjoying the view. Flavors - delicious

    They know events

    My daughter held her 3 hour wedding gathering party here, with about 75 attendees, and Coasterra knocked it out of the park for us. We had a dedicated dining room, and everything was set up when we got there. The bartender was fast and friendly, and the drinks were great. The buffet line was beautifully presented and the food was delicious. They quickly cleared used plates, refilled water glasses, and kept the lines fresh. The parking lot is well-run. The fire tables out front are a nice addition. The view of the city from the dining room is spectacular.

    Average Menu prices?

    $25-$45 per entree

    Do I need to make a reservation in advance to get a table on the terrace with a bay view, especially in the evening?

    It is best to make a reservation to specifically request a table with the bay view directly at the water's edge. Otherwise, it is "first come- first served" and you are rolling the dice. Keep in mind that those tables are in high demand so a… 

    Can they adjust the spice level for sensitive tummies?

    Yes

    What is the dress code?

    It's a relaxing environment. You can wear shorts or jeans. It's San Diego upscale casual. People go there to have amazing food and a relaxing time with a beautiful view - especially at night. You would feel comfortable dressed well too.

    Is there corkage fee?

    Are cigars allowed on the outside patio? Thanks!

    The unfortunately no.

    Are they open yet?

    They were open in November 2022.

    Do they do reservations?

    Yes. But it's difficult to get them day-of. Very popular very worth it.

    Is there mandatory valet parking?

    No there's plenty of self-parking.

    Are kids welcome?

    Yes family friendly. I took my kiddos a couple of weeks ago and they had a kid menu.

    How is parking?

    There's a parking lot just for restaurant where you can park and walk-in. No charge. Super easy and definitely worth it! The food good not exceptional. But ambiance is amazing!

    Are there heaters for outdoor seating?

    Yes, our patio is heated :)

    Is there a kids menu?

    Yes. You can even visit their website to see all of their menus.

    Do they have lobster.?

    I don't know because we never went inside but I'm sure their website should have a menu?

    Do you guys have a private dining area?

    Hi Chrystal, Coasterra does have private dining areas. For additional Events information please… 

    Do they still have a brunch?

    It's a full menu so yes

    Do they offer Sunday Brunch?

    Is Coasterra's banana butter cake more delicious than Marstro's Steakhouse's signature butter cake dessert?

    That's a tough one. They are parallel!

You can decorate the space however you want so it's very customizable. They also allow any outside vendors for food and drink which is a plus because I know some venues make you work their list of food vendors only. I found the staff very easy to work with. We communicated via email the weeks before our party and they answered any questions I had promptly. The only con I had this place was the parking situation. I toured this place in the late afternoon after work when things were nice and quiet, so I didn't think the parking was bad at that time. But on weekends at around noon, it gets really crazy. Factor in the weekend crowd and if there are any other events taking place in the area, it is a nightmare. Some of my family members weren't able to attend my event bc they spent 40+ minutes driving around. I would definitely recommend getting there early or ride sharing, or maybe hosting your event later in the afternoon to avoid the crowds. It was also pretty warm. They do have air conditioning, but since it's an indoor/outdoor space, it's hard to keep the cold air in. It's not the venue's fault for the hot and humid weather we have been experiencing though. Just something to be aware of. Overall, my party turned out great. I would recommend, but just really assess the parking situation.

The package came with beautiful florals and centerpieces, and we were able to view a sample table set up that felt simple yet elegant *Food was included and notably served plated, which is typically an expensive upgrade at many other venues *Clean bathrooms with multiple stalls, which was surprisingly uncommon after touring so many venues *DJ and wedding planner services were already included *Photobooth upgrade was offered at a very reasonable price =CONS= *Very limited parking. We were grateful valet service was included for our larger guest count, but I would strongly recommend this upgrade if not already part of the package *No groom suite. There was a small bridal suite available, though it would feel cramped for anyone beyond just the bride *Limited greenery surrounding the ceremony area. Aside from some shrubbery, there was very little natural scenery and noticeable street noise nearby The pricing was extremely competitive and this likely would have been our choice had I not personally prioritized a venue with more natural surroundings. From both a financial and planning standpoint, this option removed a lot of the usual wedding stress because of how many services were already bundled together. On top of that, Oscar and his team stood out for being exceptionally organized and efficient during both the tour and quoting process.

I was not disappointed in their service as they were attentive and met all of my requests. They also made a few accommodations for my guests with allergies and for those who were vegan. As for the venue, it was absolutely beautiful, inside and out! Don't waste your money choosing a venue that is a blank slate. If you do, you'll be spending more than $60K. If you want something affordable, all-inclusive(food, flowers, DJ, photobooth, centerpieces) and luxurious, this is the venue! Thank you Carlo, Oscar, and Michelle!
