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.*

    This was one the worst Valentine’s Day dinner I’ve ever had. Not only did we have to wait 30 min for our reserved indoor table, but they were about to put other couples ahead of us. I had to interject and remind them that we’re still waiting. Then once we got seated, our server said hello and never came back again. We were looking for him for quite a while. We were also upset because they were only doing a V Day prix fixe menu but didn’t advertise that before I put my credit card down to book it. Other restaurants had a pop up warning about that before booking, along with the price and menu. Which was the right thing to do. We weren’t thrilled with the menu or the price, but we decided to just go with it at that point. My bf is newly sober. 3 weeks. And a manager came over and said he was sorry for the wait and brought two glasses of rosé and a mini box of chocolate. I asked if they were non-alcoholic. He said no, yet left them on the table anyway, instead of offering us a mocktail instead. Well, my bf broke his sobriety because of that. It caused an argument at the table. That manager should be fired. If I say we are NA, do not leave the rosé there. Offer us a discount on our bill or bring over some mocktails. I also said I have a peanut allergy on the reservation and he had no idea if there were peanuts in the chocolates. In fact, our server didn’t even know I had a peanut allergy. And this is an award winning restaurant??? This felt like an airport restaurant. The food was okay. Nothing was good or great. $175 per person for sub par food, horrible service, and giving alcohol to people newly sober is a disgrace. Avoid this place at all costs. I will never patronize this establishment ever again.

    Amy tended to our every need with jovial energy and a lovely smile all evening! The presentations and the dishes were outstanding from appetizer to dessert. Drinks were wonderful with no skimping on presentation or strength! Su chefs delivered our dishes and the manager visited our table several times to make sure our 36th Anniversary dinner experience was going smoothly. Seréa is absolutely worth every penny!!! The king salmon, filet mignon, jumbo shrimp, and scallops were fantastically flavored and prepared! Vegetables were cooked to perfection and dessert was unreal cheesecake and strawberries in a white chocolate conch shell! Top notch and literally one of the best dining experiences we've ever had! Thank you Amy and Seréa for a wonderful evening!

    Brunch experience on Saturday was fabulous! Every single dish our table of 6 ordered was delicious (we all shared). Our table had a great ocean view and grassy area in front for kiddos to run around. Our hostess Bella was fantastic and our waiter Jonathon was always on top of everything!

    Overall, a disappointing dinner. Everything was fine, but for the prices, you expect more. The octopus appetizer was caked in garlic. I like garlic, but it was overwhelming. The crispy eggplant was served luke warm. I've had more interesting dinners at a taco truck for $5, vs the $100+ of this place.

    First off, cocktails are AMAZING! I had to cut myself off from the Spicy Hibiscus Margaritas! Service was excellent, both of our servers were fabulous, friendly, and attentive. The beet salad was fantastic, salmon crudo was less than exciting, octopus was decent, oysters didn't even come with horseradish, lamb chops were overcooked and needed additional salt, pepper and chimichurri sauce, dessert was barely edible. The presentation of the dessert was so much fun- "cheesecake" inside a big chocolate seashell. Only problem is the cheesecake was a dry, crumbly, lemony flavored mess. Our bill was nearly $400, and the only thing we loved were the cocktails and salad.
