Serẽa is proud to bring an exquisite sea-to-table dining experience to San Diego in a comfortable yet sophisticated setting.
Located just steps from the beach in the legendary Hotel del Coronado, the restaurant's key focus is the bounty of the sea. The menu focuses on sustainable seafood, with a coastal cuisine menu that spotlights the best of the region's oceans, farms and fields, ranging from the California Coast down to the Baja Peninsula.
Creative cuisine with a global flair is prepared by San Diego's own Chef Jojo Ruiz, who creates elegant, fresh dishes with just a hint of Mediterranean flair.

*Serea & The Hotel Del Coronado are currently undergoing a once in a century transformation, after 100 years, we felt a facelift was in order!
We wish you to be aware there will be evolving changes to the way we are able to serve you during this period as Serea and The Hotel Del Coronado are reimagined for generations to come.*

    We were celebrating our second honeymoon and the maître d greeted us with sparkling wine for the occasion . Unfortunately, while we were there, they had an emergency in the kitchen, which disabled their ability to cook anything. So we were limited to cold or Crudo things from the menu. Everything was excellent. The restaurant did everything they could to make things right since the ability to cook anything was gone. They even arranged a table at a private club near by for us if we wished to leave due to the circumstances. We ultimately decided to stay and we were so happy we did . The maître d(Manuel ), waiter(Mark) , bus staff(Rudy) could not have been better. We had a wonderful time despite the limitations and will be back. Truly, a customer focused place that did everything they could to make sure we had a lovely time.

    Brett was awesome! Talked a little fast but really got the job done and we knew all the things on the menu. Chocolate espresso martini and the passion star drinks were our favorite. For food, get the shrimp! So good. And the ceviche and chocolate gelato were great.

    Took an hour and a half to get our food, waitress ignored our table for at least 40 min, then when the food arrived we were told my son’s order wasn’t available. Meanwhile we watched the tables around us get served. Only after multiple complaints did a manager apologize and comp us a portion of our tab. But for a $500 meal, this was not what we expected from the Hotel Del.

    Can’t beat the aesthetics , place is gorgeous and service nice. Drinks were nice. Food was a huge disappointment 2 French toasts served extremely burnt and the avocado toast charred. Took clients for brunch and would not recommend it given the unreliability of the food prep. Could not say anything given the circumstance.
