Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Coronado

When I say EVERYTHING was scrumptious, I mean it! The Alligator Andouille Cheesecake was creamy, savory, beautiful and delicious! We had a group of 5 and it was perfect to share. Everyone ooooohhh’d and awwww’d their way through their tastebuds trip! We also tried the Rasta Pasta with the most flavorful smoky oxtail, and tasty shrimps. The gumbo which you can tell was cooked Low and slowwww to allow the flavors to flavor. Shrimp & Grits were silky and rich, just like they should be. The Dooky Chase with the biggest and juiciest wings! Deliciously seasoned! Can’t wait to come back to try the rest of the menu! And to get another Alligator Andouille Cheesecake! Hell yeah, Chef Q & Team!

We love Great Maple for brunch, but this was our first time going for dinner. It was amazing! The holiday decor made for such a fun ambiance after seeing The Grinch in Balboa Park. Food was delicious. Holidays cocktails were jolly. I highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

Johnny was exceptionally good and really helped us out picking the right menu items

Unmatched hospitality! The server was knowledgeable about the food and able to describe them well. We didn’t have great luck with the clams, they were very chewy & overcooked but the broth was delicious. They took it back and a sweet manager, (I’m forgetting names) sent a hamachi that was to die for! Everything else that hit the table was delicious and we were very impressed. The bubbly and celebration desert was super appreciated as well. Honestly made my birthday dinner feel extra special, some places really don’t go the extra mile but they sure know how to impress.

It was a pleasant dining experience. We sat between two heat lamps just outside of the restaurant. The special crudo of the day was refreshing and clean tasting. The two-face tostada was also good. The memorable dish of the night was the risotto. It was creamy but not overly rich and the rice had a good bite to it.
