The owner pours their heart into this place; I can feel it the second I walk in the same way after 20 years. The vibe is perfect: chill beachy feel without trying too hard, great music at the right volume, and the friendliest staff in IB. Whether you're grabbing a beer or a bite- just chilling on the patio with friends at sunset, everything is consistently excellent. Ye Olde Plank in Imperial Beach is a community. Thanks to the owner and the whole crew for keeping a spot that feels like home every single time. Highly recommended to locals and visitors into a natural vibe. We're lucky to have it so treat it well and it treats you even better. Thank you for providing us food this Thanksgiving!!!!

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!

Located directly through the resort's reception area, this waterfront restaurant boasts one of its…read morebest features right out the gate: spacious patios with sweeping views of the bay, including a view of the Coronado Bridge. The setting is undeniably beautiful and relaxing, making it an appealing choice for a leisurely lunch or sunset dinner. We arrived shortly after opening and were seated promptly. Unfortunately, the service after that point was noticeably slow. The menu offered a good variety (see my pics of two menu pages), and we opted for the Fish and Chips along with the Greek Salad. The Fish and Chips arrived with a crisp, light batter encasing tender white fish. It was paired with a spicy remoulade that added a little zing. However, my request for malt vinegar took quite a while to be fulfilled, and as shown in my photo, it arrived in only a small dish -- not ideal for such a classic pairing. The fries were average, though the garlic parmesan sprinkle was a nice touch. The Greek Salad, pictured, was very basic in presentation but fresh. The lemon oregano vinaigrette was good, but not particularly memorable. A point to note: the grilled chicken you see on top of the salad was an additional $12 - something to consider if you're watching costs. While we enjoyed a few drinks with our meals, the final bill totaled $150, including tip, for lunch for two. See a pic of our holey napkin, not what I would expect of a water front restaurant.

Ooohh, I really like this actually. I was expecting a more generic sports bar, and I'm glad it's…read morenot that. I mean, people totally still watch sports here of course and so do I, but what I mean is the space is bright and expansive, the location is lovely, and the monitors are ginormous. More importantly, the food and drinks are at least somewhat interesting. Not even sure if I've had hard kombucha before. I probably have, but I don't remember. These are largely light, sour, and fruity, which are the sort of alcohol I've been addicted to lately anyways. And they have cool fruits like dragonfruit and lychee. The bowls and fruit salad were what originally caught my eye. I was not feeling a berry salad, so I got a carne asada bowl, and it was delicious. The steak was soft and peppery, and the ratio of ingredients was well balanced. The hummus, kale, and salsas made for a fun Mediterranean flavor, and the basmati rice was fluffy and consistent. It's sad, but it's hard to find an Asian restaurant in town that makes a rice bowl this good.

We went before there was much happening. There was only a sprinkle of folks there. One 4 top had two smiling golden retrievers there. I was told they were regulars. The corn hole game is set up and lights are draped around the patio area. You order at the counter and take a number. However, a really nice fella came over to ask if we wanted any additional items. Very personable and engaging. And of course we ordered more items. BTW-Good luck with your band! I had a glass of rosé. It was a mighty pour and summer was in each sip. The guys had a beer or two. I ordered the Mike Hess Fish Taco and the Tropical Salmon. The tropical salmon did not seem as fresh as the others. However, the Mike Hess Fish Taco was delicious. I ordered a second one because it was so good. My husband's favorite was the spicy shrimp taco and the osso bucco taco. I sampled them and agreed they are worth the chew. I had a side of Frijoles de la Olla which rounded out the meal nicely. So many great salsas and sauces created an added level of tasty fun. We all had a great relaxing time together.

"I can take you at this register," said the cashier...then, he proceeded to leave to go outside and…read moredo some work out there. I stood there, confused. When he FINALLY returned, he stood there-waiting for me to order. Well, I ordered the French Toast (which specifically states on the menu that it comes with MAPLE SYRUP). The mediocre French Toast was served with imitation syrup. When I asked about the Maple Syrup, I was told that "Oh, that's just for marketing." Okay... I also ordered a Breakfast Burrito which was by far the WORST I've ever had! Not only was it filled mostly with eggs, but the French Fries were dry, cold, and tasted old. For the meat, I replaced cthe bacon and sausage for chicken-YUCK! The chicken was undercooked and tasted like rubber. I spat out my Burrito THREE TIMES... I kept hoping for a better bite. The last bite had the distinct taste of "food poisoning," so I was DONE! I tried to get the taste out of my mouth with the "sour, old" tasting OJ. Needless to add: I will NEVER return to eat here...

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.

This particular occasion, myself and another patron sat down at the bar and waited....and waited...and..... Finally I asked the cook if there was a bartender. He told me "no bartender. the bar is closed for an hour". Now wouldnt you think that IF the bar was closed at a Bar and Grill they would maybe close the doors and not let people sit there and wait for somebody that never shows up? Just a thought. I dont know if they changed ownership possibly, but this kind of (lack of) service is not going to fly with the general public. Its a shame. I use to love this place.

Chucky was our server and was attentive without feeling too overbearing. Overall, it was a great meal and I can't wait to return! The parking is paid by the hour but also options for valet.
