Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Tavern in Coronado is a beloved spot known for its "great food" and "friendly service." The menu, featuring standout items like wagyu tacos and brussels sprouts, delights guests who often return for more. While some note room for improvement in portion sizes and menu variety, "awesome servers" and "excellent drinks" shine.

    Food was amazing. Very impressed with how perfectly prepared everything was. Drinks were equally delicious - I’ll have to return to try out some more of the cocktail list! Service was courteous, personable, and as fast as could be under NYE circumstances (and for any minor delays, we received frequent updates and apologies - really great work under challenging conditions). The only minor concern was that the table we were seated at was very close to the (permanently open) door, so it was quite cold and drafty for at least those of us seated closest to the door. Thankfully we had brought warm coats just in case. The restaurant has heat lamps, but for mystifying reasons, those are mounted exclusively in the entranceway, not over the tables, where they could keep the diners warm. A few well-placed additional heat lamps (or simply closing the door on cold evenings) would have taken the experience to 5 stars.

    Overall a great place with delicious food and a wonderful ambience. Food portions are a little bit small, for example my sister and dad both ordered the steak which was delicious, but both were only given 2 1/2 potatoes on the side. Still overall a great quality restaurant.

    We sat outside on the dog friendly patio where they have heat lamps too. The service was great even though it was busy, very friendly and helpful staff. The chicken Parmesan sandwich was delicious.

    The staff was very friendly and professional, we waited almost no time and had waters in front of us just after we sat down. The menu is a pretty unique design that is incredibly simple to read, we found what we wanted fast and our waiter (Sean) appeared like he knew we had decided and it felt like he had only just left the table when he was headed back with our appetizer! Took a little time for the entree BUT I wouldn’t trust it if my steak came out too fast, and the wait for that wagyu was worth every second! First time I’ve gotten a steak at a restaurant and it wasn’t mostly fat! Every bite was amazing! If I still lived in the area I would come more often; definitely a new restaurant marked down for visiting!
