    I would have given this place a 5 but I couldn't do it bc the hostess is negligent, can't tell who's next in line and seats people however she pleases. This hostess, a young woman with brownish hair wearing cowboy boots this day told me the wait is 40m. I was fine with that. I was texted that my table was ready only 15m later. When I walked back to the restaurant, a couple with a big dog with no reservations got seated quickly. The hostess proceeded to ignore me and helped the person who was standing behind me. Either the hostess is partly blind or shes terrible at her job. Also, when I left, an elderly woman was putting her walker to the side, but sorta blocked the entrance. This rude hostess couldn't wait for the elderly woman to push her walker aside and just walked straight through with no regards to elderly folks. She could have done the polite thing, waiting until the old woman was done. That's just bad manners. That really bothers me. The inside of this place is very nice and the theme is fun and classy. My server was excellent. He was attentive and even cared for my dogs. I love that this place allow dogs inside and outside at the patio. This place is very spacious. The seats outside at the patio, however, was tight. Its very crowded. The neat thing is they have a bakery you can order from and sit at one of the patio tables thats in the scorching sun. I ordered their henry house salad. That's a nice salad. I also got a wagyu burger protein style. I chose coleslaw with it. The coleslaw was very delicious. I think the burger can use a little bit more flavor but still a fantastic burger. Id like to try other things next time. I think this place gets a solid 4 but since the host annoyed the crap out of me, it really lessened a would be great experience. People should be kind and respectful to the elderly.

    Busy place on a Sunday, about a 30 minute wait around 11:30 but the servers are very kind and offer great suggestions. All of the food and drinks were delicious and came out in a reasonable amount of time. The ingredients tasted fresh! Great spot to come to if you are in town.

    Nice restaurant with good vibes. It was packed on a Tuesday night, but we had made a reservation and got in pretty quickly. The drinks and appetizers were good, but the portions were a little small - you'll want a few appetizers for a party of 4. I got the Korean Skirt Steak as my entree. The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the portion was plenty to fill me up! The service was a little slower than typical American dining - not an issue, but just make sure you aren't expecting a quick in and out meal.

    It was good. The Server was really nice and took his time with us and forming a connection with us. That gives 5 stars for service. Food was good? I mean it was nothing like insane, but it was good. It was a solid meal, the vodka pasta was good, just a little overcooked. The flavor was really nice though, kind of reminded me of Joey. The Wagyu and burger were also good, solid. Fries were super salty though but honestly I like them like that. Inside kind of reminded me of north Italia, the layout and open floor plan. Over all 7/10 dinner

    We came here for lunch and we had a reservation. It took a couple minutes to get seated, which was no problem. Our server was very nice and friendly. I started with a drink, the Paloma, which was delicious. I ordered the seared tuna salad and ate the entire thing. My husband got the club sandwich with french fries and he ate everything as well. He added avocado to it, which made it even better. Food came out very quickly. Would definitely come back if it was in the area again.

    Haven't been here in a while, but stopped by for a quick snack and drinks. The fries were exactly what I was craving. Soft and delicious, just like McDonald's fries. Yum! We sat outside, and since it was during the World Cup, the atmosphere was even more lively and fun. The service was quick and efficient. We were in and out in no time, which was perfect since we just needed a quick bite. Overall, a great spot for a casual stop.

    Drinks were good. The service- so/so... we had to flag people down to order our starter was was the wanton shorty ribs. They were but they were cold. My had spicy egg egg rice... not not good and spicy at all. I had a side of scrimp . Rubbering and hard. Hubby liked his dish. It was a no no for me.

    The Henry caught our eye while we were walking around San Diego, so we decided to stop in for lunch, and we're so glad we did! We came in as walk-ins and were seated on the patio right away. The atmosphere was great, and the patio was the perfect place to enjoy lunch while people-watching on the busy shopping street. It definitely felt like a popular spot where people come to grab a meal, have a few drinks, and hang out with friends. The service was excellent, and our food came out surprisingly fast. Everything we ordered was delicious, but my salad was definitely the standout--it was so fresh and flavorful. If you're looking for a cute lunch spot with great food, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere while you're in San Diego, I'd definitely recommend checking out The Henry.

    Henry's was one of the highlights of our Coronado vacation. The food was amazing, and the service was truly first-class from start to finish. We're especially glad we met Chef Isaac, who recommended Henry's. We're so thankful we took his advice and gave it a try! You can tell everything is made fresh and prepared with care. Our table ordered the California Bowl, Harvest Bowl, Ranchero Bowl, and Eggs Benedict, and every dish was outstanding. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were fantastic, and everything arrived perfectly prepared. Since we were on vacation, we decided we'd have dessert with brunch and I am so glad we did! It tasted like it had been baked fresh just for our table. If you're looking for exceptional food, outstanding service, and a restaurant that clearly takes pride in every detail, Henry's is a must-visit in Coronado. We'll definitely be back.

    It was good I guess. The eggs were fluffy. The potato had a phenomenal texture. The bacon also had an unrealistically even crisp to it. I've driven past this joint so many times, and it always seems slammed. I finally strolled in at mid-morning on a cloudy Friday, and it was still quite busy. It took almost half an hour to get my food. And I thought the portion was kinda small. Aside from that, I don't know, this place seems.....too generically middle class American for me. I can't imagine being impressed by the flavor of anything served here, but I can't call anything bad either. Wait, yes I can. When the bartender gave me a refill on my coffee, it was lukewarm from sitting out too long. That was bad.

    Very posh restaurant with a cool, stylish atmosphere. I loved that you can see into the kitchen through a glass wall separating it from the dining room -- it adds a fun and modern touch to the experience. Service seemed to vary depending on who was helping you. I wouldn't describe it as especially warm, but it was efficient. The drinks were excellent, and they offer a great selection of coffee options as well. The food was a bit of a mixed bag. We only ordered one dish to split, and some parts were fantastic. The hollandaise sauce was delicious, and both the potatoes and side salad were very good. However, the English muffin underneath was a disappointment -- it didn't seem toasted at all and lacked any color or texture. Since the muffin is a key part of the dish, it left me feeling a little underwhelmed overall. I'd still like to come back and try other menu items, so I'm hoping this was just an off day rather than a reflection of the food as a whole.

    I enjoyed all the flavors that I got to try here! My salmon was delicious and the potstickers I would absolutely get again. That being said, our dinner took roughly 2 to 2 1/2 hours with long weights in between ordering receiving appetizers and being able to order food. Our waiter seemed to run away for a little bit but, it was a busy night.

    This is the very first pity 5 stars I've ever done. I didn't order any food nor any drinks. So to…read moregive it anything less than five stars is completely unfair. The service was excellent so that's all I'm going off of. The menu did look pretty fire though, so I'd be willing to give it another shot cause for all intents and purposes, the other people in the restaurant seemed to be really enjoying the food! But anyways... I'm a skillet cookie connoisseur. Any place that has a skillet cookie, I'm going there SOLEY to order it. If I ever get married, instead of having cake, my guests will be having skillet cookies for dessert instead. Some might say I love skillet cookies even more than Scottie Scheffler. My love for skillet cookies runs deeper than the Mariana trench and I've been to more than (at least) 11 restaurants to exclusively try them out. With that out of the way... I'm horrified to report this is the worst skillet cookie I've ever had in my entire life. It somehow felt overcooked, yet undercooked at the same time. It was also like they cooked it at an angle. Because it awkwardly occupied 3/4ths of the skillet. It had the consistency of a cake but the taste of a cookie? It was like they couldn't decide whether or not they wanted to make a cake or a cookie. So instead, they decided to half bake something that was in between. I couldn't believe it. It was also completely lacking in the chocolate chip department. All in all, this skillet cookie had a worse performance than Michael Jordan during his high school varsity tryouts. I'll admit it too... I completely lied to the waitress when she came over and asked me how the cookie was. Instead of telling her the truth, I gave her two thumbs up and said, " it's good!".... It was not good. It was terrible! I'm a coward.

The bar in the restaurant is great, with a couple of nice TVs for sports, and the somewhat dark, basement-oriented style of the restaurant is really cool and unique. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Grilled Bacon & Blistered Shishito Pepper Burger. While the burger looked delicious, and tasted decent, I had higher hopes for it. I was wanting the burger to be a bit more juicy and spicy. While there is some room for improvement there, it's definitely still a place I'll be back to!

I'll review our dinner and then post the brunch review in a few days! First, the view is gorgeous. The Marriott Coronado has a gorgeous piece of real estate, facing the bay, the Coronado Bridge, and downtown San Diego. Dinner, Valentine's Day: VDay could be a big disaster but it went pretty smoothly. They had a 3-course prix fixe menu (plus an amuse & a glass of sparkling wine) as a special, or you could do their bar menu. Oscar was our server and he did a great job keeping us updated about how the kitchen was doing. Our drinks came pretty fast. I got a DAITIKI: cutwater tiki rum, lime juice, simple syrup & angostura bitters. I asked for it light on the simple - and it was a pretty impressive cocktail. Really well balanced, with a lot of different flavors going on. Yes & yes on this! Appetizers: I got their brussel sprouts with lime and honey glaze and marcona almonds. WOW! This was a wow dish. HUGE and fabulous brussel dish, for $16, with this view. Now I'm getting excited! We also got the guacamole which was good, though underseasoned. Entrees: my sweetie got one of the bowls (baja?) with carne asada added and liked it. I got a veggie burger - not yummy! Very weird patty, not tasty. However, the fries that came with it were good. SO... I had a great cocktail, a giant portion of exceptional brussel sprouts, and a bad veggie burger. Could be worse! Wine: I also got a glass of the JLohr Pure Paso red blend, which was very nice. Leathery but not too heavy. For dessert, Oscar advised us that we could order individual dishes from the prix fixe, and that dessert would be much faster if we ordered the Valentine's desserts instead of the desserts they usually serve. And yes, they came out immediately. Deconstructed strawberry shortcake. Flavors were good. Shortbread was a little dry, but very nicely seasoned. I liked the consistently of the chocolate mousse tulip, but found the tulip part (chocolate shell) very bland, not that interesting to eat too. Overall, some parts of our dinner were exceptional, the kitchen can be slow... and don't order the veggie patty! Otherwise this is a great place to come and enjoy our gorgeous city and have some yummy bites or drinks, and with very nice heaters. Thanks, Oscar and the team!

But my sweetie was in the mood for the buffet so we came here. On a weekday morning, it was a 30 minute wait for a table outside. I didn't mind terribly as I squeezed in a beach walk. But the food is not necessarily worth waiting for if you don't want a buffet. My sweetie loved the fresh fruit of all kinds and thought he got his money worth. The things I liked best were the custom-made omelette that you can order that's included with the buffet. I also liked the watermelon and the juice of the day, which was cucumber lime. The coffee was also very good. The croissants were not very good. The scrambled eggs were OK. You could add on made to order mini pancakes for three dollars. They were actually delicious, but it took a good half hour for them to come. If you really want a buffet and the price does not scare you, you will definitely find something to eat here and the patio is pleasant. But otherwise I don't particularly recommend the Veranda for breakfast. ENO is tasty, cheaper, and faster, even if it's mostly pastries and coffee.

    Our server Lily was quite attentive to us ladies for our lovely Tuesday afternoon. We had a clear…read moreeye-level view of the stunning Coronado Bridge from our table. The Swordfish Sandwich was cooked perfectly, juicy & tender and the Key Lime Pie was the perfect complement to finish our meal. Such a refreshing and delightful sweet ending to our dining experience. We truly enjoyed dining at Shorebird and we're looking forward to returning to Shorebird Restaurant at Seaport Village in San Diego!!

    We decided to try Shorebird after seeing so many stellar five-star reviews on Yelp, so we went in…read morewith pretty high expectations. Unfortunately, our experience didn't quite live up to the hype. First, the positives: the location is great, the restaurant itself is really cute and aesthetically pleasing, and the hostesses were absolute darlings, friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I wish the rest of our experience had matched that first impression. Once we were seated, the service was pretty disappointing. Our waiter came across a little arrogant and almost as though he was too busy to really give us his attention. Ironically, after nearly dropping our drinks when bringing them over, he seemed a little more personable afterward. Still, we were rarely checked on throughout the meal. No real "How is everything?" or checking to see if we needed another drink, anything else, or eventually the check, just the basic things you normally expect when dining out. So, if you're looking for a date-night spot where you can have a completely uninterrupted conversation, this might actually be perfect because you probably won't be interrupted at all. But if you appreciate attentive service and an occasional check-in, our experience definitely fell short. The food unfortunately didn't make up for the service either. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't memorable or something we'd go back for. My fiancé wasn't impressed with his steak but decided to just eat it rather than send it back. We also noticed the table behind us send an entire burger back because it apparently wasn't prepared to their liking, so it seemed we weren't the only ones underwhelmed with the food. Overall, I can understand the appeal of Shorebird for the location and atmosphere, but based on our experience, the food and service just weren't at the level we expected after reading all of the glowing reviews. San Diego has so many great places to eat that next time, we'd probably choose to try somewhere else.

    ambience = great food = pretty good…read more Hostess staff were rude and not helpful. First, it took 10 minutes for someone to even come to the hostess stand, and although there were plenty of open tables, she said there was a 30 minute wait. The hostess said there were only 2 servers and one just went on break - at prime time lunch time as the World Cup finals just started. (Poor planning on management's decision.) The hostess took my phone number down and said they would send a text. 40 minutes passed and I didn't receive a text. I addressed it back with the hostess and she said I canceled the reservation - which I did not. After a second hostess checked to see what happened, looked like the hostess incorrectly put my phone number down and also canceled it out. As a long time Hilton Honors member, I expected better customer service. As I came online to write my review, looks like many others had similar negative experience with the hostess stand recently.

    Today I stopped in during my stay for lunch and I was once again tremendously impressed. The…read moremanager Jade suggested I try the chicken wings. Incidentally, chicken wings are one of my favorite foods and I order them almost every time I see them on a menu. The wings here were fantastic. They were incredibly crispy and all around delicious. I could have eaten two orders. Since I am staying at the hotel, I have stopped in a couple times during my stay for both breakfast and now lunch. I also want to mention how kind and welcoming the staff is. I look forward to returning in the future!
