The story
At the historic Hotel del Coronado, steps from the beach, Serẽa Coastal Cuisine delivers modern coastal dishes with a global perspective. The menu, led by San Diego’s own Chef Jojo Ruiz, balances elegance and freshness with a subtle Mediterranean accent—making it a natural fit for the Michelin Recommended distinction it earned in 2026.
The atmosphere matches the setting. A gorgeously designed indoor-outdoor bar and a private dining area allow guests to soak in the Southern California sunshine while the scent of the sea drifts through the air. The cuisine itself is creative without being fussy: fresh seafood and Mediterranean influences appear throughout, prepared with the kind of precision that justifies the Michelin nod.
Weekend brunch returns on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., offering another chance to experience the restaurant’s bright, coastal energy. Whether you come for a sunset dinner or a leisurely midday meal, Serẽa makes the most of its Coronado location—just steps from the sand, with the Pacific as a backdrop.
