    Le Menu 6/2024

    L'Orangerie a french restaurant bistro opened recently in Coronado. Taking the corner space of the Coronado Historical Association building with towering columns. The noir et blanc striped outdoor umbrellas are eye catching. Turns out, owner and chef Philippe is a Francophile from France, happened to be standing at the entry, cordially welcomed Me inside. I chose outdoor seating with my furbaby Fendi. Most places with outdoor seating are pup friendly but I prefer the outdoor area to be spotless and clean as this place was. The service staff and my waiter Matt were nice attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, which was mostly French cuisine, which is always my favorite. Although, there are at least three other french restaurants in the area, I wanted to support this new restaurant and try the owner chef's take on french dishes. I'm guilty, I usually prefer pescatarian and chose the seared salmon. Presented nicely with fresh local organic ingredients, I was impressed with how exquisite the flavors enhanced the salmon's subtlety. The menu evolves seasonally and I look forward to returning to try other dishes. The french baguette slices ordered with the ordered homemade french butter is a must. Pomme frittes ie french fries with the ordered homemade Mayo for dipping was irresistible. From the wine menu, the Maceratoin, an orange wine from Alsace region in France was surprisingly perfect for a restaurant called L'Orangerie, meaning the orange grove. There are no orange groves in the area, but the restaurant is located on Orange Avenue which is restaurant row in the Coronado area. Locals and tourists walk through this avenue and makes for amusing entertainment while wining and dining on fantastique french cuisine at L'Orangerie. A very nice first impression, Recommend!

    Escargots

    Beautiful new restaurant in Coronado! French owners who live nearby and are so friendly! Escargots was good but in a tomato bisque not garlic/parsley/butter method. Creamy chicken dish was scrumptious! A perfect sunny day to lunch on the patio! Also a perfect cafe au lait!!

    Veal Tenderloin w/ Mushroom Cream Sauce

    One of the finest meals I've had in Coronado!!! The Chefs Veal Tenderloin w/ Mushroom Cream Sauce and the house made Pate' were so delicious!!! And they're dog friendly :) I hope this little gem has a long tenure on the island!!! 5 stars for Service, Food and Ambiance!!!

    Delicious Chocolate Mousse

    Wonderful patio! Great service! Delicious French Onion Soup for a starter then had the Steak Frites with salad for dinner. We had a bottle of Cab Franc as well and it was delicious and reasonably priced. We finished up with a chocolate mousse and crème brûlée. The chef is also the owner and came out to check on us which was also a nice surprise! This is a very nice addition to the Coronado restaurant scene and we highly recommend it!

    The chocolate croissant and coffee were world-class!

    Amazing setting, beautiful French food and owners. I must visit on your next time n Coronado. We LOVED it!

    Deviled eggs & caprese salad with chicken

    My mom and I stumbled upon this place while shopping in Coronado for her birthday. We were greeted & taken care of by Jonathan, the director of operations, who was beyond wonderful! He was pleasant, competent, and spoiled us with some complimentary champagne. =P We ordered the deviled eggs & the caprese salad. The deviled eggs were to die for!! I have been craving them ever since! The caprese salad was delicious as well and the serving size of added chicken was generous. We were even lucky enough to speak with the owner/head chef- he is a warm Frenchmen. You can tell by tasting the food that it is an AUTHENTIC French restaurant & his passion for cooking comes through his dishes. The ambiance is very cute. We will be back. :)

    We have dined here twice in the last few weeks. Once for lunch, once for dinner. Let me just say, the food was fantastic both times. But the owners really are so incredibly kind and hospitable and that just puts the experience over the top! The quiche is FANTASTIC. French onion soup also so delightful (more on the savory side, perfect balance of subtle sweetness). I could drink whatever dressing they put on their side salads. French fries fried in beef tallow? AMAZING. Definitely recommend the steak frites!

    The green salad

    This restaurant just opened its doors in Coronado this summer, we had lunch there yesterday and it was WONDERFUL!!!! The service was very welcoming and friendly, we sat inside and it feels truly like a French Bistro. We tried the La Niçoise salad , the salmon toast, and seared salmon, and everything was delicious!! My husband had a really good French rosè and I had their white sangria , yum!!! To finish off our meal we had the crêpes with Nutella and the chocolate mousse and coffee. We'll be back for sure!! Can't wait to try more items from their menu. Welcome to Coronado!!

    Do they have any vegan and vegetarian options?

    Hello, Yes, I remember seeing a fresh vegetable platter on the appetizer menu and a Risotto. I am sure the chef can prepare something for you also.

    Is there a happy hour menu?

    The have a happy hour with a few discounted items from their regular menu. They are new so don't expect much variety but everything there is good.

The musician created a fantastic ambiance that complemented the setting perfectly--engaging and entertaining without overwhelming the conversation. It added a special energy that made the experience feel memorable and unique. What made our visit even more enjoyable was meeting new friends and some visitors from out of town. Dorothy's has a warm, social atmosphere that naturally brings people together. We found ourselves sharing conversations and stories with fellow guests, turning a simple afternoon outing into a truly memorable experience. Great wine, wonderful music, and new friendships made for an unforgettable afternoon. Dorothy's Wine Bar is a special place, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommended!

With $1.50 oysters, it's almost like a no lose situation at this point so honestly, give it a try. That being said, oysters aren't the star of the show and that's crazy coming from someone who can eat 3 dozen oysters in one seating. Get the crab toast, it's magical. Get the happy hour burger, the sesame seed bun is the winner. The most memorable part of the meal?? The squash salad dish that was cooked to perfection. This was something I couldn't stop going back and honestly, I wanted to lick the plate clean. I would be mistaken though if I didn't mention the service. I truly wish I remembered her name, but she was the only one working that day (her name started with a K). She was so great and handled the whole floor like a pro. She's a good one and she deserves a raise for sure. In conclusion, go here and ask questions later. Promise you won't regret it.
