"Serẽa is laid-back luxury at its best. Located in the historic Hotel del Coronado , the seafood restaurant mimics the upscale beach vibes of its surroundings. Executive chef and partner JoJo Ruiz was an early practitioner of sustainable seafood cooking and his ethos is clear in Serẽa's menu, which puts a Mediterranean spin on thoughtfully sourced fish, lobster, and meats from local purveyors like Tuna Harbor Dockside Market and Catalina Offshore Products. Get the lobster croquettes, charcoal-grilled octopus, and—for a real San Diego specialty—sea urchin with charred scallion relish, lime, and olive oil." - Archana Ram
