    Pretty cute little brunch cafe with ample outdoor seating along Orange ave. Coffee was good, but I don't believe I ever got a refill. Although, I don't drink my coffee that fast anyways, so the one full cup of coffee plus water was enough for me. Additionally, the waitress asked if I wanted either hot sauce or ketchup. I said ketchup, but I think she forgot about it. I was too antisocial and apathetic to even ask her again and just ate my food. Lol. I like the jars for the water. I got a Napolitano Joe's scramble. The eggs were soft and fluffy. There was a ton of spinach, which I am content with. However, there was not much garlic while I prefer a bit more. I also found the flavor of the sausage to be somewhat underwhelming. Hash browns were.....fine? Like, generically decent. I did enjoy the thicker sourdough toast and the higher quality jam.

    One of my absolute favorites in all of Coronado. The specials are always delicious and change so often. The mimosas are the best you can find anywhere. They are MASSIVE. You can't find anything like these. They recently started making their own syrups for them. I love the California scramble and my daughter always get the pancake special which changes so often.

    We absolutely love this place! The food is always fresh and delicious, service is super friendly, they always have specials and to top it off they have giant mimosas! We come here at least once a month for brunch. We love the outside seating and ambiance and they do a pretty good job of getting people in and seated. We love the hospitality that we get when we come here. They also have a great variety of coffees. You won't be disappointed coming here for brunch!

    Given the location and the ratings I saw I was expecting a lot better from this restaurant. However we didn't have a great experience and the food was not as good as I thought it would be. We were seated outside as the majority of seating is outside. And while the weater the pleasant the flies certainly were not. I don't usually like to eat outside because I don't enjoy flies buzzing around while I am eating. While that is not the fault of the restaurant they didn't ask if we wanted to be seated inside or outside. So we were kind of stuck. The food is not very kid friendly and is aimed more at adults. The kid at our table ordered a Belgian waffle but it was way too big and he didn't end up finishing it. I ordered eggs Benedict and while the eggs were cooked perfectly the hollandaise sauce was so bland. The hash browns that came with were bland too and had zero flavor. My boyfriend ordered basic steak and eggs and he also wasn't impressed with lack of flavor in his food. Coronado has so many fun places to eat. If I ever come back I don't think I'll be returning here.

    Crown Bistro in Coronado (attached to the Crown City Inn) is a charming little bistro that offers a cozy atmosphere and indoor and outdoor seating . Inside you get more hip vibes with upbeat music, while outside, you get more beachy bistro vibes. We ordered: Mimosa flight - Sour apple, Mango, Watermelon New York Steak chilaquiles (daily special) New York Steak & eggs Crab Benedict Hash Benedict Pancake & side of fruit (no kids menu)

    Cute place located in a small hotel. Great patio seating and prompt service. Eggs Benedict were on point. Hash browns were crispy and tasty. Parking is on the street but wasn't too hard. Lunch starts at 11am and they won't budge on the time. Still great and I would return

    I would say overall the meal was good but nothing to write home about. The server was quick but not particularly friendly. I ordered the Denver omelette which is pretty standard from place to place. Not oily which I appreciated. It was a $1 up charge for egg whites which isn't bad compared to other Cali restaurants which charge 2-4 bucks which is crazy. Hash browns were decent, again not oily which I like. I upgraded my side to a single pancake. It was a large portion so that was appreciated but it was visibly burnt when she brought it. I didn't make a stink bc a. I didn't have time to wait for another and b. I knew I wouldn't finish it so I kinda ate around the char but the server should know better than to bring that out. That being said, it was good texture and decent flavor but again nothing to write home about. I did enjoy the homemade jam. Overall, for $30 breakfast... not sure I would be back and everything was good.

    The workers are super nice and the service was quick! The restaurant has a cozy and almost sunset-esque feel to it. The food tastes homemade but made to perfection! Please support this place when you are in the Coronado area!

    Cute bistro with so much charm! They had normal portion sizes (which is hard to find in the US as a whole) and the dishes left us feeling satisfied, but not overly stuffed! Service is quick, super friendly, and the outdoor patio is a sunny dream!

    We spent the night at this hotel and wanted to try the restaurant. It is a charming little place that is currently has dinner service Thursday through Saturday. Theresa and Jorge were our fine dining servers and they were professional and friendly. They started this off with their freshly baked ciabatta bread. We told them to please only bring two pieces. They did and they are very large pieces. We split one and took the other home to enjoy later as it was excellent. It was slightly crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. Next, we had a chicken vegetable soup and French onion soup. We enjoyed both. I ordered the scallops special with risotto and vegetables. Though I would have liked the scallops cooked 30 seconds longer, they were good and melted in your mouth. Don ordered Osso buco with pasta and vegetables. It was excellent and the lamb was tender. It seemed like a lot of locals come here and we can see why. This will be our "go to" place for dinner.

    So we've seen this restaurant and the ambience of it is absolutely lovely. However.. I ordered the fettuccine and it was the most saltiest dish I've ever tasted in my whole life and I had only one bite. Had I ate the whole thing which was ridiculously disgusting I would've had a heart attack the same night. My boyfriend had the gnucci with crab and his pasta was so overcooked and hard, you could throw it through a car window and it might break. I tried one of his and I almost threw up. Told the owner about it and she walked away and never came back. It didn't matter because I no longer wanted to eat there and we just walked away. They have good lemons and water and that's all. Will never return. It was like always wanting to meet your favorite celebrity and you find out they are a prick. Yes that's how this experience was.

    This restaurant is so quaint and cute! Food is not only delicious but beautifully presented. Service has been top notch every time I have visited! Our server Bella has been a absolute pleasure every time. This breakfast was exceptionally delicious & can't wait to come back.

Our server was Chris and he was OUTSTANDING...very attentive and very friendly. Both managers visited our table several time to make sure we were good. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that what I had was just a bit underwhelming. We ordered the braised beef potstickers, california roll, and grilled and chilled shrimp for appetizers. The meat in the potstickers was very mushy. The california roll was decent. The grilled and chilled shrimp were fine. My husband had the filet - ordered medium well, served medium...the twice baked potato was very small and seemed to be overcooked. I had the lemon chicken entree - the taste was good, but was just a bit dry...it was served with fries, which was fine. The other couple ordered the skirt steak and the braised short ribs which they seemed to enjoy. My drink was amazing - the Amalfi Spritz. For dessert, we tried the butter cake...again, a bit underwhelming and not really good on flavor...I did taste the toffee and caramel, but the cake itself had no taste. Overall, I would go back because of the service, the drinks, and the ambiance.

Blessed with a pleasant bay view, the seemingly automatic customer base of the always busy Coronado golf course, and the disposable income of this affluent community, you would think that this indoor/outdoor setting would be a perfect place for brunch or lunch at 11am to noon on a beautiful Saturday, but our post-round meal was accompanied by lots of empty tables, empty space, and empty vibes. Although my salad had good flavor, it was surprisingly small. My friend ordered a sad-looking tuna melt that he said was the worst he had ever had. Another friend said the same thing about his old fashioned, which had a bizarre red tint to it that indicated an over-abundance of bitters or perhaps a flat-out wrong ingredient like Campari. Either way, it's clear that the bartender did not know how to make a very simple classic cocktail. The service was also abysmal. Although the place was far from busy, his terrible old fashioned didn't arrive until after the entrees, which themselves took quite a long time to arrive. And this was after my friend had to remind the server that he hadn't received his drink. Also, upon inquiring if I could substitute chicken for the turkey in my salad, he enthusiasticly said yes without informing me that that the substitution would be a five dollar upcharge, which came as an unwelcome surprise on the final bill. Finally, the chairs are horribly uncomfortable, and for someone with a bad back, sitting there for an hour was not a pleasant experience. All of this probably explains why business looked so paltry on a such a lovely Saturday. With such a great setting, the Coronado golf course really deserves better. I'm being generous with the two stars, but it's safe to say that our post-round meals and drinks will be enjoyed elsewhere from now on.

    Captain's Log, Stardate 21483…read more This past Sunday, I charted a course to Nicky Rottens in Coronado, a delightful establishment located at the end of Orange Avenue. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by an uplifting open-air environment, truly a breath of fresh air that felt like stepping onto the observation deck of the USS Enterprise. The amazing views of the bay were nothing short of spectacular, bringing a serene beauty that rivals the finest star systems. Over the years, my wife, her girlfriend, and I have become frequent travelers to this culinary haven, beaming back for nearly 15 years--a testament to its enduring allure. The selection of IPAs and mixed drinks is impressive, catering to even the most discerning palates in the galaxy. The choices are vast enough to satisfy anyone embarking on this flavor exploration, whether you prefer a refreshing drink to toast a successful mission or something bolder, like a phaser on stun! The menu features a delightful array of options, including fresh salads, tantalizing finger foods, and, of course, their famed burgers. My wife's enthusiasm for the offerings has always been infectious, and during this visit, she and her girlfriend were on a culinary adventure of their own, indulging in the flavors that have made Nicky Rottens a local favorite. The burgers are truly out of this world--juicy, flavorful, and expertly crafted to ensure a warp-speed experience with every bite. You'll find that each dish is prepared with precision, as if overseen by a skilled chef with the abilities of a Vulcan and the passion of a true culinary Starfleet officer. In conclusion, Nicky Rottens is a prime destination for anyone seeking a vibrant atmosphere, stunning views, and a solid meal. I can confidently say that if you ever find yourself in Coronado, this establishment is a must-visit. After all, it's just one small step for man, and one giant leap into deliciousness!

Aside from that, they're generic normal tasting tater tots. For the burger, I liked the bun and other ingredients, but thought the savoriness of the meat was just okay. Also, can't say I'm a huge fan of the tiny lettuce whenever I see it. Overall, this joint is not bad, but I can think of very little about it that stands out. I don't feel that it fully leans into being a sports bar or dive bar or even as a burger joint. It's just.....a bar. Apparently, it prides itself as being an original coronado spot, but I didn't get that kinda vibe here. I don't know.
