Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Coronado

We have been here several times and it’s pretty good! Definitely the best hotel food I’ve ever had. Service can be touch and go but nothing too bad. When we stay at the Marriott this place is always our fall back.

First time dinning here and it was amazing. The food was delicious, To start we had the iceberg wedge salad, the Caesar salad, both delicious. The iceberg is big enough for two people. Our meals were the 12oz filet and the sea bass. The food is delicious. We ended the meal with the key lime pie and a cappuccino, great way to end.

It was my 23rd birthday and my first time at Wilma’s Carousel Bar. I absolutely loved it! I didn’t get the name of our waitress but she was so sweet and very attentive. There was also a live band who sounded amazing. The food and drinks were delish. Overall, my experience was great and you should definitely go!

Smokin' J's BBQ is a gem unbeknownst to us. My wife and I were attending an event at the Balboa Theater and were looking to make a reservation close to the venue. Smokin' J's is literally across the street...it couldn't be more convenient. Everything was excellent, the service was outstanding, the food was delicious with very ample portions. Even though we live in Encinitas, we will go back downtown to dine at Smokin' J's again. To us, it was a hidden gem.

Me and a friend stopped in and sat at the bar. We were greeted right away. All the bartenders were knowledgeable and friendly. Food was amazing and didn’t take too long. Ambiance was perfect too, not too dark or bright. Shout out to Jad the supervisor for checking in on us and making sure our experience was a positive one. Will definitely be back!
