    Nitro Espresso Martini
    Leonardo W.

    Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 5/5 Drinks: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Parking: 3/5 Made a reservation and came by for brunch on a Saturday. The parking was not the most ideal, but the fantastic food made up for it easily. Erika was our server, and she was kind and helpful throughout the meal.

    Chicken Paillard

    My wife and I both had the Chicken Paillard. It was delicious and so were the vegetables that came with it. The bread that came before dinner was also delicious; a type of corn bread muffin and a soft focaccia. Staff was kind and gave great recommendations. Outside seating had a great view of the marina.

    Food was really good and service too. Very reasonably priced for ambiance and San Diego. If you are looking for a nicer, affordable and casual date spot with views, this is your place. The only downside is we had to pay $10 for parking, but if that doesn't bother you, go check it out! Includes starter bread which was yummy

    Short Rib Stroganoff
    Rick D.

    We arrived for dinner reservations (recommended) and seated promptly. The decor is simple, classy, modern with a quiet, refined atmosphere. Given ice water and drinks upon sitting. We ordered dinner and were served in a reasonably expeditious manner. The staff were extremely polite, proficient and meticulous. I enjoyed the staff efficiency, teamwork, and table work. Superb service! Started with Clam Chowder (clams, jalapeño, bacon) THIS is how all clam chowders should be made! Perfect consistency, creamy; not too thick or too watery , loaded with clam bits and clam flavor, bacon to compliment, and jalapeño for a clean spice and not one element overbearing, all the flavor blended perfectly, impressive. The Shrimp cocktail: shrimp cooked perfectly; it's done right, you get the sweet, succulent, shrimp meat with sour lemon and spicy/sweet cocktail sauce and it's music in your mouth. I ordered Short Rib Stroganoff for my main dish, if they would've asked me to pay double for this I would've happily, as I haven't found better in San Diego. The Cassarecce noodles are perfect al dente, curled into itself and wavy and with channels to grab sauce and cream, the beef melts in your mouth with juicy flavor. The mushrooms and onions popped with fresh flavor. I had a side of asparagus, I'm still thinking of it because the preparation was immaculate, no stringy fiber I've come to expect, the stem was as soft as the head, the spears were prepped and steamed consistent top to bottom! Great attention to detail all around. Standing ovation to the wait staff, prep cooks and chefs. Bravo!

    We went to this place for dinner, and it's such a hidden jam in San Diego! Way in Coronado further down the island, unexpectedly good restaurant with amazing views and fabulous ambience, makes you feel like you're really out of San Diego. You stepped into another world. The menu is a bit limited, though, I wish they had more options, but whatever we had was overall good. Service was slow, but waiters were extremely kind and accommodating, and made us feel good even though the food was slow. We've had salad, short rib and pesto pasta. Overall would come back for brunch !

    Breakfast spot tucked in a pretty resort at the bottom of Coronado. I will preface THIS PLACE IS EXPENSIVE... for continental breakfast vibes. A fruit plate is $23 .... This place had a long line so go early to snag a table on a weekend. I will say, for it being basic breakfast, they do it well. The breakfast potato's were perfectly crispy and soft in the inside, perfect amount of salt. I still think about it .... Overall it was yummy but not worth the price

    What is supposed to be an 8 ounces NY Steak for $45.
    Gary H.

    I will get to the point. I felt that Crown Landing was a disappointment and just average and I will not return today here again. From the very beginning, the hostess made a comment "we have been waiting for you" when we arrived. We were 5 minutes early so I didn't quite understand the comment. We were sat down right at the front where every person walked by so the ambience was missing, especially for such a pricey meal. From the beginning, it went down hill. It took so much time for us to get a server that the hostess actually came over and asked us for our drink order to help out. It wasn't that busy so I was surprise. We placed our drink orders and again, they took a long time and my wife and I didn't get our pre dinner cocktails until our meal was served. We order 3 NY steaks and they were to be 8 ounces. We also ordered two pasta dishes and checked fingers for the little one, clam chowder, shrimp cocktail, Brie apps. For the most part, the meal was good. The clam chowder was delicious and chock full of clams and the Brie and shrimp were tasty. The bread they served was good as well. We did have to ask for water a couple of times which was irritating. The pasta dishes were ok... the bolognese had a nice flavor but the linguine with seafood lacked one important ingredient, seafood. For $28 that was surprising. The sauce was bland at best. Now the steaks. We ordered three of them and they were cooked the way we asked. However, all three of us noticed a strange gassy/ profane like flavor on them. They were still good but something was off. And what was supposed to be 8 ounces was 4-5 at best. And lastly, the Baine of any chef is having to cook chicken fingers or nuggets I am sure... and it looked like it. It literally looked like three or four of them were thrown on a plate with a handful of fries. $12?? Yikes. One thing I don't mind is paying for a quality meal and paying big. What I don't like is that this place was presented as a high end restaurant and it was average as best, with a $500 price tag with tip. Did the food taste good? Yes for the most part. Did I feel I got what I paid for? No. I would say that Crown Landing is mismanaged, needs service training and their impression of their food is much higher than my perception. Food: 3 stars Service: 3 stars Cleanliness: 5 stars Atmosphere: 3 stars Price to value: 2 stars I won't be returning and I can't recommend this place unless you are in a pinch and there is nothing else. I felt ripped off when I left and I even waited a few hours to write this to see if my feelings changed. Not worth what I paid.

    Had a nice birthday dinner for my husband at Crown Landing. Beautiful setting both inside and outside dining. Love the delicious clam chowder with jalapeño and bacon starter, the fresh large shrimp & crabmeat with creamy lobster sauce and the large glazed salmon on bed of saffron rice and garnishments. Great drinks. Ended great dinner with Pistachio Crème Brûlée Desert. Wait staff was amazing!!!

    This is our second time here. This time we came to celebrate my passing my board exam! Chucky was our server and he was very kind and helpful. The manager was very attentive, my daughter cried in the beginning of our dinner because she wanted water and she came to see if she was okay. It was very sweet. She also offered to get us a thing for her. We felt accommodated and cared for during our visit. It was very quiet and intimate, it was a Monday night. Besides the services the food was 10/10 last time we came the food was exceptional. Both dishes were great! My daughter loved the veal and pork bolognese. And I got the short rib stroganoff. Chefs kiss!

    Best restaurant ever and we loved meeting Chef Ana! The gelato was amazing and each dish was expertly prepared!

    French Onion soup
    Debby B.

    We had a lovely time at this restaurant for dinner and breakfast. I will start with the service. Erika did a fantastic job in all areas. She knew her menu and was able to answer all questions for both dinner and breakfast. All of the people at this hotel (Lowes Coronado) were really good and made us feel special. We had scallops, cauliflower puree and asparagus for our main dinner. The scallops were cooked just a little over but were still tasty. The French onion soup was one of the best I have had. The broth was so rich and had a deep flavor. It was not too salty and had a nice balance of onions, bread and cheese. For breakfast we had the bagel, cream cheese and smoked salmon (two times). The bagels were lightly toasted. The cream cheese had bits of green onion that were perfect. The salmon was plentiful, fresh and tender. It was served with capers, sliced red tomatoes, red onion and lettuce. The only comment I have is that the first time there was plenty if cream cheese and the second time there was not enough. Not sure if it makes a difference but the second time was room service and the first time was in the restaurant. Drinks were good. Great wine choice too.

    Updating my previous review because this place has consistently exceeded our expectations. We spent Thanksgiving dinner here last year and most recently I took my team building here for brunch. Everyone was raving about the food, the excellent service, and the coastal view! We lived in the neighborhood next door and this has been our neighborhood grill and bar. You feel like you're on vacation!

The honey on the fries settled at the bottom and it was a little too sweet but overall it was a great starter. I got the poke tacos and absolutely delicious. I loved the taco shell that was so crunchy and the ahi tuna was so well seasoned. My husband got the pineapple fried rice and it's such a big portion. There was so many meat pieces that it's well worth your money!

But nonetheless the dark interior and laid back environment was pleasant. Even with the laid back environment, the service was attentive and helpful. You can check out my 2 menu pics for the thematic food and drinks that are available. We started with the Volcano Fries. This dish starts with your basic fries, and goes up from there. As you can see from my pic, there are plenty of seasonings on the fries. But it's ALL about their sauces: Sriracha Aioli and Hot Honey. (BTW, the heat wasn't overly hot and didn't distract from the flavors.). Between the garlic, the sweet/heat action, the creaminess of the Aioli, these fries were very hard to stop munching on. While not a super-phenomenal appetizer, it was incredibly irresistible. We then finished with the Pineapple Fried Rice with Spam & Portuguese Sausage, see my pic. We liked the combination of the fried rice with the rich meats (yes, I classified Spam as a meat. This reminded me of some of the Hawaiian Spam dishes.) The seasoning was rather weak. But it still was a hearty and robust meal.
