Best Cozy Restaurants in Coronado

Was a very nice experience. It was my first time there and my daughter loved the service.

Came on NY’s day for lunch. Food, ambience, and service were fantastic. There was an issue initially with the hostess getting our party seated even though we had a reservation. The hostess was not very receptive, reassuring, or service oriented it seemed. But the manager eventually got involved who was amazing and got us all situated. Norma was the sweetest. Would definitely come here again :)

Today, my family of 12 celebrated Christmas dinner a day late at Fogo de Chão, and I felt compelled to share our wonderful experience. While several staff members assisted us throughout the evening, one exceptional individual truly stood out: Monica. Monica was more than just a waitress—she was an absolute gem. Her kindness and patience made us feel like we were guests in her own home. She interacted with us in such a genuine and thoughtful way, going above and beyond to ensure our evening was memorable. At one point, we asked if she could take a group photo for us. Not only did she gladly agree, but she first took the initiative to clear our plates, ensuring everything looked perfect. She then patiently took photos of us in multiple spots around the restaurant, making sure we had options to choose from. As a business owner myself, I can confidently say Monica exemplifies the ideal employee—someone who goes the extra mile with a smile and treats every guest with care and respect. Her dedication and warmth deserve recognition, and I sincerely hope her efforts don’t go unnoticed. Thank you, Monica, for making our family gathering even more special. You’re a beautiful soul, and a true credit to Fogo de Chão!

The ambiance is very nice and lovely, there was live piano music. We had meatballs, lobster arancini, and garlic knots for appetizers. We had pizza and braised short ribs for dinner. The food was delicious and the service was great! We will definitely come back here again!!

If you are looking for a unique dining experience this is the place to go! I booked this place for a girls night and am so glad I did. I was greeted at the front door by the sweetest hostess that walked me up to the loft where we were having dinner. The space was so welcoming, and intimate. I felt as if I was walking into a long time friends house for a meal. The staff was attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Chef Jay created a 13 course meal, that with every plate seemed to just get better and better. Every time I thought I had picked a favorite dish then something else would come out and I would think that was the one. Every course was presented beautifully, the flavors were incredible, and the best part was that the Chef would come and explain every dish, even giving us a childhood story behind a couple. I cannot recommend this place enough, from the ambiance, to the staff and the amazing food, you will not be disappointed! Make sure to get the wine pairing too, definitely worth it! I am already counting down the days to my next visit, this time with my husband. Thank you Chef Jay and staff for an amazing night!
