Is this the review where I finally lose all credibility? Nah, Yelp reviewers don't have credibility…read moreto begin with. Normally, I just judge the food. Like, when I go to a popular bar, I don't care about the popularity or the vibes. If the food doesn't meet my higher standards, it can't get five stars. Conversely, the customer service could be super rude, but I might give it five stars as long as I love the food. Lol. Which makes this review out of character for me. Or I'm just being a hypocrite. Even when I gave Brigantine five stars, I love their mixed drinks and a lot of their seafood. I'd have no issues with writing another five star review of the food at the Brigantine. Those lobster quesadillas are immaculate. This place on the other hand...... Okay no, that makes it sound bad. It's definitely not bad. The mango habanero wings here had a nice crisp and flavor. The pizza definitely had a cheap crust and cheap ingredients, but the final product still had a decent flavor. Like, it's not going to win any awards, but it'll still taste like heaven when you're consuming alcohol. This is one of the most popular bars in the area. I've floated or driven past it quite a few times already since I currently live in IB, and I've never seen it not slammed. I finally decided to walk in here at like 1400, and the bar was still packed. However, the clientele is mostly locals. And the bar and clientele is of a variety that will affect your mileage. Specifically, there is a ton of active duty or retired U.S. Navy, there is Navy memorabilia all over the walls, and it probably leans conservative pretty hard. So you might feel like an outsider unless you fit one of those categories. That might've been me if I wasn't also in the Navy. Lol The dude on my right immediately told me that the owner is retired Navy. And the somewhat drunk dude on my left started chatting also. And I somehow almost immediately participated in getting an orange Jaeger bomb (which I suggested since the orange Jaeger was directly in my line of sight.) Uuuhh, all that just to say, I mostly use Yelp to look for amazing food. If you're just looking for Michelin star food, I don't think there's anything particularly ground-breaking here. However, the locals do claim that this is one of the most popular bars in San Diego. There are reasons for that, whatever those reasons are, because it definitely doesn't have anything to do with the Yelp average.

I was also impressed when I asked if I can have grilled fish tacos vs breaded and deep fried and they were very accommodating. I got a strawberry salad and it was delicious with the candied walnuts and blueberries. I added chicken for protein. Plenty of searing and umbrellas for outdoor dining. It's super convenient to have food poolside. Tables and chairs were clean and the pool area had a nice vacation vibe. They lost a star for 4 stars only because of the price. $30 for a lunch salad was a bit much but other than that I was happy.

The Hubs and I decided to do a little staycation in Coronado Bay for our birthday last year, and…read morelet me tell you.. we can't resist a hotel bar. Located at the Loews Coronado Bay Resort, you will find the lounge right at the center of the lobby. You'll find seating at the bar, or there is a comfy lounge area with cozy chairs / couches and plenty of TV's to enjoy local San Diego sports, as well as a great view of the city skyline while you're seated outside by the fire pit. The menu has plenty of food and drink options for both dinner and happy hour. While the HH menu may be a bit limited, you're still sure to find something to enjoy - A Burger, Hummus & Pita, or Fries, as well as a few more options. The dinner menu is where it's at - Shareable's, Flatbreads, Salads, Steaks, Chicken Sammies, Desserts and a Kid's menu for those traveling with little ones. I opted for local Craft Beer to drink {a good IPA, of course}, while The Hubs opted for the delicious Old Fashioned. For dinner on our first night, we decided to share the Cay's Double Cheeseburger - topped with Smoked Bacon, Cheddar, Lettuce, Tomato and a House-Made Dressing {w/ Raw Onions on the side for me} and a side of Parmesan & Garlic Truffle Fries. This is the perfect combo and satisfied every craving. Whether we were at the bar for dinner or simply drinks, we were tended to by Elijah, who was absolutely wonderful. He was beyond friendly, always had a smile on his face and engaged patrons in the most mindful manner. When he overheard us mentioning our birthday, he caught us on our way out to dinner and told us to stop by the bar when we returned - We swung by for a nightcap and he surprised us with a complimentary dessert - A warm Brownie with a Bourbon Caramel Glaze and Vanilla Ice Cream. What an amazing treat and the most perfect way to end our birthday evening! Thank you Elijah for helping to make our birthday so fantastic!

The space is an outdoor restaurant where you go to a walk-up counter to order your tacos and beer. Your drink is given to you upon payment and the wait is generally 5-10 minutes for food, depending on the time and day. The downstairs area is family friendly with cornholes, rows of picnic tables lined up and a fire-pit. Though it's near the beach, the ocean views are obstructed by a building. The upstairs, however, has a better view of the ocean. It is more of a countertop seating area, lined up with stools and it gives you a peek of the ocean. Now let's talk food, because lets' be real, that is why you're reading this review. The Fish Taco, Surf and Turf Taco and Queso Birria are our favorite go to. That first crispy bite of the Fish taco thats covered in chipotle and lime aioli is delightful. The Surf and Turf has the perfect balance of shrimp and beef. The Queso Birria is a decent size that leaves you nice and full and wanting more just because it's that tasty. They also offer a variety beers, including some ciders. They even offer a few cocktails, like a Paloma. The service is a bit inconsistent. Servers bring out your food and that's the last you'll see of them. Since it's a counter service type of spot, I guess it is to be expected. Aside from that, it's a great spot to grab a quick taco and refreshing adult beverage while taking in the ocean breeze.

The cheesy patty on rye bread was still delicious, and there were more fries than I could eat. Not much of a crowd except for the comics themselves, maybe 10-12 with a very entertaining host in between. All were good but many were hilarious including a first-timer. Fun vibe for sure, I would happily go again. I deducted one star because as a new guest, I asked the bartender if they had any special house cocktails. She seemed to hear the word special and thought I meant cheap. I said not necessarily cheap, but do you have any interesting house cocktails here. She said no, so I ordered something boring. Then I got the food menu which on the back had an entire list of house cocktails. But service overall was excellent.
