Oceana Coastal Kitchen, San Diego CA

Located in a beautiful hotel in the Mission Bay area of San Diego. Hotel lobby was lovely with an indoor Coy pond and multiple waterfalls. Patio looked out onto a small grass area and then a sand beach. LOTS of activity in both of those areas. The food was unspectacular, neatly presented. The seafood cioppino was nicely flavored in a.small portion. Very disappointing that they charged $11.00 for a small basket of bread, especially since they provide NO bread to the table as almost every other restaurant does so. The white sea bass was somewhat bland, offering no distinctive flavor. The side of mashed avocado and corn was especially disappointing. Overall the dinner left much to be desired.
The waiter was not particularly friendly nor attentive. He did not check up on us after other staff brought out the food and the only time he came by was to present the bill. Service was very disappointing.
Atmosphere was mixed. The facility is lovely but small children are left to run around the place between the tables screaming, and neither parents or staff take any action to control them. Overall I will not return to Oceana Coastal Kitchen nor recommend it to friends. Very disappointing.

Couldn’t get parking other than valet for 40$. The service was great but only got a couple sodas while waiting for family member to park. There is not any parking anywhere nearby and the secured lot is only for hotel guests, not restaurant guests. The staff was very kind and attentive and the food looked adequate priced. The portions I saw were small/appropriate not the giant size belly-busting plates most Americans serve. I wish we had been able to park and actually eat here.

Good service. Great location
Unfortunately I can't say the same thing about the food.
Very limited menu it's overpriced compared to other restaurants in the area. The menu only had one option for steak.what I ordered.it was my mistake.it was probably one of the worst steak I ever had. My recommendation is have dinner somewhere else in the area where the food is much better.and stop by for a drink after if you feel like.

Kids and loud families took away from an otherwise very nice restaurant. We will definitely go back.

This restaurant continues to be outstanding in every regard. In addition to the steamed clams, we had the most wonderful seared albacore tuna steak dinner that was seasoned and cooked to perfection. We dined on Thursday evening and also enjoyed their half-price bottled wine. We were seated outside on their patio, which is very comfortable. Overall, it was a fabulous experience and I can't wait to go their again!

Excellent location (nice terrace with a view on water), friendly service and relaxed ambiance. Our food was good quality, in sufficient quantity, and well cooked and presented (the caramelized scallops and the tuna were perfect). Sure it is a bit overpriced, but you pay for the view. Large list of wines (half price on thursdays).

Message to chef: please do something to make the Caesar salad taste good. Some lenon juice? At least serve it cold.

My daughter and I celebrated my 50th Birthday and moving my youngest daughter into SDSU with dinner at Oceana Coastal Kitchen! WOW! The view and atmosphere were amazing! We had sea bass and duck with crème brûlée for dessert! Both were delicious! Wine bottles were half price on Thursday evening. Our server Ron was so great and friendly! We would highly recommend this restaurant! We hope to go again!

Beautiful hotel with beautiful views. We had a dinner reservation for 10 which was easily accommodated. First, it took 10-15 minutes for waters to come out. The drinks and appetizer crunchy ribs were amazing leading me to believe the rest of dinner would be. The Caesar salad was made with watery ranch with absolutely no Caesar smell or taste, more dressing was brought out and it was pure white. The sea bass was extremely dry, most everyone had to add salt and pepper to their dishes, flatbreads have minimal toppings and a small side order of potato’s were brought out after all ten people finished their meals hot claiming the old ones “sat too long and needed to be remade” but it was very obvious they were forgotten. Reddit raved about this place and only 1/10 people were satisfied. They ordered the tofu dinner.

Very good spot, but food and service really bad.

We oredered two ceasar salad and it was sooo dry with almost no sauce, no parmesan, and no no bacon, and no egg. You pay extra 6 $ for extra dry chicken on top of it.we left them almost untouched and no one wondered why or asked us of it was something wrong with it.
Asking if the food is ok is the standard of most restaurant to check if everything is good with the food. But no one worried we had so many unfinished food.
By the time someone came to clear it, all the flies had time to come into it.

The kid menu wasn't even that great either as the burger was a giant beef extra dry patty with almost once again no sauce in it.
The prices are out of the gate, so you pay for the view but the rest I wouldn't recommend. The dips were ok but hard to not make that one right.

Then we had issue with our restaurant validation parking and when we asked the two hostess of the restaurant they said:
No idea, press the parking button and went back chatting.

They advertised it as a nice restaurant but even mc donalds service is way more into their costumers need.

Do not recommend.

Very good food. Expensive, $100 each with drinks. They were short handed for servers. They will validate hotel parking!

Date interior. Carpet smells leaving the indoor space un desirable. Doesn't feel clean.
