Dive

We were a group of 7 so they had to cram round and square tables together. Service was pretty good for a large group on a Friday night. They have a small menu but good choices. Calamari was a bit overdone, and the portion was small but other entrees and salads our group ordered had generous portions and looked delicious. Recommend the Dive Sangria. Drinks and food are a bit pricey so I wish we would have gone during Happy Hour. It was an easy walk from our hotel. Great views from the roof top.

This place is pretty cool it has awesome views. The food here was really good especially love their french fries are like little potato skins. I would definitely recommend getting the wagyu Burger. They have some good drinks recommend the old fashioned. the service was really good but I will say that the second crew was better than the first crew.

Bad food bad service, total not worth it. Guacamole and salsa has so taste, added so much salt in the chips. The octopus is super salty as well. Our water was empty for so long, tried to get the server’s attention, no one came to help us out, we had to walk up to the server to get our water filled up. Asked for the bill, the server said he will go and split that, but went to other tables afterwards.

I went to The Dive for a girls night and had truly the best experience. We had a perfect table with the most amazing views and had the most welcoming staff. The cocktails are so yummy highly reccomend the dutchess a lovely gin drink. You have to start out with the french fries with the tastiest aioli dipping sauce and ordered the fish tacos as the entree. They were super juicy and came with 3 large tacos. I will forsure be visiting again and plan to get drinks & apps during their golden happy hour. We were also greeted by the manager Jason who made sure we were well taken care of. The best rooftop bar in san diego!!

This was a great experience! The staff are very friendly and the food and cocktails are delicious. It’s worth it to make a reservation as it guarantees you will get a spot with a table. You can also just drop in if you want to hang out at the bar. I love how they incorporated the historic neon signs from the original motel behind the bar and on the side of the hotel. The blue and pink neon signs at night echo those vibes of Elvis and Marilyn Monroe’s era.

This was a great little rooftop bar that I just happened to notice while waiting on our shuttle. It decorated very modern and cute! The host/waiter was very personable and super friendly. The Wagyu burger and chicken sandwich were ok, but the herbed cauliflower was delicious! The view was great too! We would definitely visit again!!

I was thrilled to learn that Dive just opened. I love that Coronado has a few new trendy spots to balance out our tried and true local favorites. Dive was able to accommodate our spontaneous walk in visit Sunday afternoon. The host was kind and welcoming and we sat at the bar while we waited for a table. Drinks: my friend liked her bourbon cocktail, but my mezcal cocktail was bland and uninteresting. (Disappointing for a $16 drink!) Food: we ordered the sliders. Good flavor but a bit dry and hard. They overcooked them. The potato side- something between a chip and a fry- was delicious. We ordered the crab toast, but were served the shrimp toast. One soft squishy piece of toast with something akin to a paste spread on it. Tasteless. The arugula was the best thing about this dish. The heat lamps were not working. (They’re working on this though.) The vibe is great. Location is wonderful, right across from the Hotel Del. It’s a beautiful space, but some improvements could definitely be made. I’m hoping these are just new restaurant growing pains.

I was so excited to hear about a new rooftop bar on the island and it did not didsapoint! It was slightly windy and chilly at first but then the sun came out and it was perfect! I usually don’t talk about a restaurants fries but you NEED to try them! Very friendly staff and a healthy and delicious menu, a great spot to enjoy your afternoon in the sun with great food and drinks!

The first rooftop bar in Coronado and it's amazing! From the views of both the bay, ocean, and the Del, you are surrounded by beautiful scenery! The drinks were yummy! Try the tiki temptress, it packs a punch but is perfectly fruity! Amarillis was the sweetest server and made our experience so much better

From the moment we walked into The Dive, every detail feels thoughtfully curated from the cocktails to the food and the service. We ordered the fish tacos and it was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The seafood was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the flavors were bright, balanced, and unforgettable. The cocktails were equally amazing. Their Dutchess is a must try it was so refreshing, and perfectly mixed. Our server was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed excited for us to try their favorites, which made the whole night feel extra special. Can't wait to come back!!

This place is not a place I would be spending my money moving forward. Showed up with my lady, and was greeted with just an ugly personality, they eventually sat us after 30 min, when I called in for a reservation prior to coming and was told to " just come in" it was NOT a busy day or time. Proceeded to wait 15 minutes to get a server to come to us, and let me repeat, it was not busy Then another 30/45 minutes to get a check from the server as well Again, let me repeat, it was not busy. Honestly, great idea, but whoever is running the establishment, needs to re-train people here to be more welcoming and do their job.

Checked out Dive in Coronado for a brunch with the girls and we loved it! Great place to grab a coffee, eat good food, and yap with the ladies. Also a great place to bring family or friends visiting San Diego! The views were great, right across from the Hotel Del Coronado and the service was fantastic!

made a reservation for girls brunch on a saturday. we tried the chia pudding, eggs benny and breakfast burrito. we really liked chia pudding and eggs benny! the breakfast burrito def needed more sauce to add on. this venue is above a hotel, the rooftop restaurant cute for girls brunch and even for late night drinks. you get a view of the water and the hotel del coronado!! so pretty the interior and everyone was so nice, from the hotel greeter/valet to servers. really easy to find and there's street parking nearby!

This popped up as a new rooftop bar so I had to give it try! I saw somewhere that Happy Hour was from 4-6 pm but I made reservations in advance for 6pm just in case I didn't make it in time. When I arrived, amidst looking for parking in the 4th of July weekend, I was told that the Happy Hour wasn't available! So basically, I was rushing for nothing. The hostess did say she might mention something to the manager to at least waive a drink or discount for the hassle but it never came into fruition. The menu is not extensive and if you want something substantial, there are only a few items that would make you full. I opted for the Gold + Black, since I've had other versions of this in other high end restaurants. The chicken nuggets were super crispy and I can taste a little of caviar. More would be better though or even bigger pearled caviar so that you can taste it more. Also, something to go with the nuggets like a side of fries would make this dish even better. I tasted the sliders, which were okay, although quite filling. My favorite were the fries because it was super crispy and you get quite a lot. The drinks were pretty good and refreshing and I loved the view! Service was kinda slow but it is a holiday weekend. Highly recommend reservations but it appears that ppl weren't waiting too long for their seats. Price point is on the higher end because of the view and the fact that it's right next to Hotel Del.

Dive is supposedly the only rooftop bar and restaurant on Coronado Island. It's located on the top level of the Bower Hotel which is across the street from the Hotel Del Coronado. Because it faces south, the view is mainly of the Hotel Del and then the ocean off in the distance. Enter the external elevator to the right of the driveway and press the button to reach the fourth floor. The bar was to the right when you exited. It had eight seats and across from that were a few round high-top tables. To the left was more seating, some of which was under canopy cover. Because I came for dinner, a one-page menu entitled "Sunset Snacks & Supper Starts" was handed to me after I sat down at a high-top. Nine small/large plates, two salads, and three desserts were listed. I ordered the Dive Melt Sliders which featured a set of three mini burgers containing American wagyu, habanero jack cheese, caramelized onion, and mustard aioli. A side of Bower Fries came with the order. The thick cut spuds were sprinkled with dive seasoning, and a cup of herb aioli was provided for dipping. One reason why my rating wasn't higher was that after a waitress placed my order, she never came back to check on me. Only when the bartender took the time to come around the counter to ask how I was doing, that was when I inquired about the status of my food. It was over 20 minutes from ordering to when I received a platter. The place was less than half full so the delay wasn't because the kitchen was slammed. The sliders were okay, nothing special. I actually liked the fries better because they were extra crispy from being double fried. The aioli was the perfect dip for these fries. Based on the food quality, price, and service, I gave a 3.5 star rating for my dining experience at Dive.

Went to the Naval Base Coronado and after we had Breakfast at DIVE. This Dive is a rooftop bar and restaurant located at the Bower Hotel with a beautiful view of the Ocean and Hotel Del. Dive is the only Rooftop Bar and Restaurant so far in Coronado. Upon arriving, the Valet directed us to the Elevator, and pressed 4R to to go straight up to Dive. Got seated right away and gave us a menu to choose from their Breakfast and Lunch , my wife chose Breakfast. We ordered a Spinach SMOOTHIE, LEMON LOX TARTINE, and DIVE BREAKFAST PLATTER. My Wifey love her Spinach smoothies, my Dive Breakfast platter size portion was in a big plate, and everything was good except for the weird sausage, I hope they change it coz it has a weird taste, it's hard to explain it but it is not what I wanted. My Wife Lox Tartine, the salmon on red onion marmalade was good and so was the Salmon on lemon creme fraiche. But eating the Salmon by itself was way too Salty, like eating Salt! I hope on our next visit that part of the Salmon is less saltier. Service was quick, Food is so and so, and we didn't have a hard time looking for parking. Summer is almost here, I hope they added a few umbrellas coz there were only 3 ones there when we came and I had to move one closer to us coz we kind of burning already from the Sun, or maybe consider putting an Awning. The view is nice with a nice breeze.

Damn. Perfect experience. Hard to admit they did 100% right 100% of the time. We were greeted with a smile and seated immediately. This is a tapas place and we took good advantage of this and had the yellowtail crudo and house made ponzu. Wow to the tenth power. The fish tacos were an 9.5 out of 10 Now... $12 for fries?!?! Spendy but wow again. Worth it. Seriously. Get them. Side plates are warm which is a nice thing as the food stays warm. We were not rushed. Each course came out in a timely and paced manner. Our server, Courtney, was amazing. Steered us towards the best options and drinks. Speaking of- 10 out of 10 there, too. Not sure what else can be said. I was in food service for years and to tonight they exceeded all expectations. Go. Enjoy.

Loved this place, tasty food, nice presentation, great ambiance it has it all! Had a wonderful time! Cant wait to go back and try other things in the menu!

We made a quick stop here at DIVE on their second week of being open at the Rooftop of Bower Hotel before heading to the Naval Base. We got seated quickly and made our order, we ordered: *GREEN ZEN (SPINACH SMOOTHIE) *LEMON LOX TARTINE *DIVE BREAKFAST PLATTER It was my first time trying a SPINACH smoothie, and surprisingly I liked it, I could really taste the spinach in it. I eat a lot of Spinach, but I never thought I would like it as a drink :) The LEMON LOX TARTINE was way too Salty, but eating it with everything else on the plate made it manageable. My husband's plate was the DIVE BREAKFAST PLATTER, it actually had a pretty good portion, but I remembered not liking the sausage part, it had an unpleasant taste for my tastes, but it was a good platter, it will fill you up for sure. The staff here are nice. We got an easy parking on the side street, so after eating we walked around to see the Ocean nearby.

Location is amazing. Will be back for this alone. The tiki drink was meh. Espresso martini was just so so, nothing special about it aside from good espresso. The glamour splash was DELICIOUS! Will be back for that. The previous menu mentioned tallow fries but when we went the server didn't know anything about that. I think she was annoyed that we just wanted drinks but will likely come back for brunch or just drinks at the bar probably

Came for the matcha cocktail but mainly stayed for the views. Our serve had a great personality & was very helpful! Her name was Bree (I hope I spelled that right lol) The place is super cute. Only tried 2 drinks and both were very tasty. The bartender was also very helpful & made sure we enjoyed our cocktails. It was a Monday so very slow which I didn't mind because we came to enjoy the environment plus views since it's rooftop. There's A lot of meter parking but they also have valet Would come back to try out the food.

If you're looking for a place that serves both cocktails and views with zero notes--Dive is your spot. Tucked up on the 4th floor (yes, there's an elevator, so your outfit stays fresh), this rooftop gem in Coronado hits all the right vibes. Service? Immaculate. Drinks? Dangerously dialed-in. Bartender Fedo? The MVP. Fedo didn't just take our order--he asked the right questions like some kind of cocktail therapist. Before we knew it, we were sipping the exact drinks we didn't know we needed. Mine tasted like sunset in a glass with just the right kick to say, "you earned this." Speaking of sunsets--this view deserves its own Instagram account. Golden hour here is a full-on mood. We got a couple apps to go with our drinks because we're responsible like that. The fries with garlic sauce? Game. Over. I'm still dreaming about them. Crispy, garlicky, and somehow both fancy and snacky at the same time. Parking is street-only, but it's Coronado--so just breathe deep, channel your inner island calm, and you'll find a spot. Bottom line: you take the elevator up, you come down a little more in love with life (and garlic fries).

If you're looking for a nice rooftop bar in Coronado you need to come by this place. The staff was friendly. The view of the Hotel Del is beautiful. It got a bit cool as the sun was coming down and there weren't enough heaters to go around. But definitely worth stopping by and checking out this great spot. Didn't have food but had drinks. Tried ordering a Capri Crème but they were out. Good reason to come back!!

Super cute, vibey rooftop in Coronado! We came on Sunday evening and got seated right away. We tried The Duchess and The Boulevard, loved both. The overall atmosphere was great, staff were all friendly and helpful. Can't wait to come back and try more drinks at sunset! Not sure if any night they have a live DJ, but if they did, it'd make it even better!

Dive Coronado is one of those spots you instantly want to tell your friends about. The seafood is super fresh, the flavors are bright, and you can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. The vibe is relaxed and beachy, and the staff makes you feel welcome right away. It's the kind of place that works for any mood -- lunch with friends, a casual date, or just a quick bite after the beach. If you're in Coronado, this place is a must. matcha cocktail is a MUST!

The rooftop is such a great view, seating is comfortable and umbrellas for the sunny mid-day. They were out of a few things when I went for brunch but were very accommodating. Don't have a GF menu but again very accommodating and easily swapped ingredients to make my meal GF. No fuss, loved it! I got the lox tartine, made GF with heirloom tomatoes instead of toast. To drink had the glamour splash cocktail and it was the right mix of bubbles, tart and not too sweet!

Have a great experience at Dive. The ambience, vibe, service, and amazing apps/ craft cocktails. My bartender(Fernando) was very attentive, quick, and great personality. This will definitely be a spot my wife and I will be adding to our list of favorite roof top bars!

Very nice roof top bar in the heart of Coronado, nice views, great ambiance and delicious food . My server Vanessa was so friendly and attentive. Love coming there for lunch .

Awful service - Amarillis provided very low tier service at what should be an upscale rooftop. She was very unprofessional throughout the evening, made multiple mistakes & was very slow. All our food was cold upon arrival, multiple drink order and food errors, combative & with all the delays we were very late to our next venue. Mind you this was a pre planned bday dinner. She didn't fix any of this by discounting or waiving items. It was not even a busy night, lots of empty tables. It was a weeknight and reserved in advance. She fixed one receipt for our party but the other one still has two extra charges. Called the hotel and no one picks up so I will have to dispute with bank. Definitely do not recommend. Food was also mediocre. Hotels phone customer service matches the roof - terrible Update: I emailed the address you provided over a week ago and called a few times too/ no reply. Should I just call my bank and report this to BBB as well?

Not a friendly place. Rude. So many other high-end places to go in Coronado Went to brunch one morning food was ok but came back to show some out-of-town guests and not allowed to go up and view. Really?

Wow! The tri-tip was absolutely mouthwatering, the macaroni balls were pure perfection, and the cauliflower with Dijon dip was unexpectedly delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection -- seriously, a flavor-packed masterpiece from start to finish. The drinks have always been on point. The views from this location are incredible. Quaint but a must visit location.

We had a wonderful time at this new rooftop in Coronado! Good is divine and cocktails are so yummy. The staff made our brunch!

Love this place! Pretty and relaxed vibe, right across from Hotel Del. We went on a Sunday morning/afternoon and made reservations, but didn't really need them because it wasn't crowded. The seats are ultra comfy, we got the little couch corner near the music. The food was yummy, we got the egg plate and the French toast. We also tried the sangrias, I got a mocktail and they were both tasty. The food and drinks are yummy, and not heavy. The perfect combo we wanted and by the beach. Found parking not too far away, and it's easy to find. We just took the stairs up. The waitress was very friendly and the service was great. Grab brunch there and then head over to the Del to explore. Will definitely be back.

Amazing spot. A must go if you are in the area. Shout out to Rachel and her crew for top service and overall experience. Will definitely be going back!

Great atmosphere. Drinks were delicious. I'm not normally a Gin fan but "the duchess" cocktail was 10/10. Friendly bar staff. Can't wait to come back!

Food was very underwhelming. Got the 2 Shrimp tacos with 1 was with 3 pieces of shrimp and the other with 6 pieces & full of cabbage and onion. The calamari was not bad but was place on a bed of "crispy noodles" that taste like dried pasta. Tried ordering the Capri Cream (Matcha drink) was told it's off the menu. The ambiance was okay, elevator music playing throughout the rooftop got bored while waiting for drinks. Waiter was nice but has no attention to detail, he didn't bring cocktails like requested. There's definitely room for improvement. Not everything off Tik Tok is worth trying, lesson learned.

Courtney!!! And crew, the food, the service!! Why wasn't it packed!!?!?? We loved the sliders, salad, and atmosphere!

Been here twice, have had the lunch/appetizer menu both times. The food is ridiculously good, especially the sliders. Drinks are delicious, service is great, love the location. Highly highly recommend.

Perfect spot for a relaxed but elevated experience! Loved how this hidden gem of a location was slightly separated from the more impacted parts of Orange Ave. in Coronado. The rooftop outdoor setting puts you in a vibey "days-gone-by" mood and inspires you to stay a while. Really cool to read about the history of the space and to see the decorative nods to it's earlier era. The service was genuinely attentive and welcoming....and make sure not to miss the yellowtail crudo!

The Dive caught our eye on the way to our hotel and we had to take a peek! We had Mitchell as our server and he exceeded our expectations. He was very funny, welcoming, kind and personable from the second we sat down, and answered all of our questions! The espresso martini and matcha martini were delicious, we will be back (also the chocolate dessert and hot tea ensemble made our night!!) s/o mother Theresa

First: this place is amazing, great vibe, great view, very comfortable. Service: maybe everyone is new, we got wrong menus, lack of knowledge of food being served, inexperienced staff, one of the people in our group asked for a cappuccino and he didn't know what that was, so he asked for American coffee, the server didn't know if they had that, said he would check and never returned. Lastly they completely forgot all of our desert. Food: overall it was good, we were all satisfied with what the had with the exception of the potatoes, they were so over seasoned they we not editable, we had a mountain of potatoes on every plate that none could eat. Conclusion: would definitely be back and I understand they are new but training is in order, hopefully they figure it out soon

I truly had the best experience at The Dive. Service was really good and attentive. I had the french fries to start and the fish tacos which were so fresh and yummy. The cocktails are so tasty I recommend the purple gin cocktail. The views of coronado are amazing and pretty. The perfect girls night :)

Enjoyed shrimp tacos, roasted cauliflower, live music & the view. Staff was courteous , but not too intrusive. It was a good night.

I really like this rooftop bar. Really cool vibe. Music is actually background music so you can have a conversation within your party without yelling at each other. Nice view of the Del and some of the beach. Cool view of the sunset. Cozy atmosphere. Glass windows to block the wind. Food was good. French fries were the best part of the meal. Service was friendly.

Absolutely Outstanding! From the moment we walked in, it was clear this restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine--and that's all thanks to Rachel, the manager, and her phenomenal team. Rachel's presence is warm, professional, and effortlessly confident. You can tell she leads by example. She checked in with us personally during our visit--not in a rushed or rehearsed way, but with genuine care and hospitality. It's rare to see a manager so hands-on, so invested in both the staff and the guest experience. The entire crew mirrored Rachel's energy--friendly, attentive, and clearly proud of their work. Service was seamless, food came out perfectly timed, and every staff member we interacted with was kind and accommodating. You could tell they respect and enjoy working under Rachel's leadership, and it shows in every detail. Fernando & Mia were very hospitable! In an industry where great service can make or break a night out, Rachel and her crew deliver nothing short of excellence. Can't wait to come back!

Absurd.... my friend and I are embarrassed and appalled after being ridiculed in front of guests... my friend happens to be from Hawaii, and the bartenders thought this was a right of passage to embarrass him and question the legitimacy and authenticity of his state issued id. It caused a scene where we both stuck out like sore thumbs. If you want good service and good food. Go down the street to Mcpees. Coming from a local, trust me.

Beautiful view of the San Diego Bay and Hotel Del Coronado. Drinks were well crafted and Oscar was one of the best servers we've had in a while. Highly recommend for Brunch.

Wow! The bartender really knows how to get you coming back for their spicy margs. The peppers were muddled and delicious. The tequila perfect for our great sunny day on their roof. I believe there was another hotel here before. It's been a while since I've been on the island and this place looks brand new. Villa Capri before??? There is a sign behind the bar that says as much. Any who, everyone was chill and service forward with their recommendations. We were really hungry, and this dive (lol) did not disappoint. You MUST get the shishito peppers, the crab toast and the grilled sausage. The next time we're down in San Diego and visit Coronado Island, DIVE will be hit up again.

Took some friends from out of town here on 4/27/25 right when it opened in the morning. We just pulled up to have drinks since everyone was still full from breakfast down the street. Drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. The staff was amazing from the moment we walked through the lobby and during our entire stay at Dive. The young fella at the Valet on our way out was very professional and friendly. The space is beautiful and has many different styles of seating. The sun came out and the views were gorgeous. Everyone was very nice to my dog and just made us feel very welcomed. I have told many people about this place and will definitely return soon for food this time. Keep up the great work!!

Okay so we are locals and have tried it twice. First time I didn't rate because I figured hey they are new and working out their stuff. That day it was a week day and it took time even though there were maybe 5 people there. Today we brought friends hoping since it was a Saturday it would be spot on. We only stopped in for a drink and it wasn't too crowded. We ordered 4 drinks, our waitress was sweet but we had 2 bottles of water before our drinks were brought. I went to the bathroom at one point and the bar tender and 2 waitresses were chatting as I went in and as I left not doing anything, just chatting at the end of the bar. Again, our waitress super kindly came up to us and said "hopefully your drinks will be out soon." I didn't get her name but she had curly brown hair. I ordered the exact same drink today but it was purple, the first time it was not. A friend ordered the Bloody Mary and it was bad. Husband got a 4/10 old fashion. 1 star for view and 1 star for our kind waitress. This place needs a push to get going and I'm hoping to see that happen. Sadly can't recommend.

To preface, I don't really leave reviews but I had to because of how spectacular this place is. The fish tacos were to die for. The place is just absolutely breathtaking being a rooftop and viewing the sunset. Lastly, Fernando went above and beyond to ensure we were attended to and the drinks he made us was absolutely phenomenal. Definitely recommend and would love to comeback again some time!

I'd like to review the rooftop bar! I had such a great experience here with my fiancé. The staff were so nice and helpful. When we arrived at the rooftop it was so beautiful, relaxing, elegant but cool. We came on a weekday, Thursday. Courtney immediately greeted us, appearing both welcoming and inviting upon the elevator doors. She was truly an example of service I would willing to any to come back too. We had the lemon crab toast and it was AMAZING. I wish I would have gotten another round . They do not skimp out! We also had tap beers and a tequila old fashion. This experience was above my expectations and I can't wait to come back and show my family. Thank you! I enjoyed my time here and the staff working was so nice! From the valet guy directing us to the correct floor, to the staff at the bar thank you. Because of your service I would like to come back and stay here and will be recommending it to my friends!

Upon arrival, with reservations we were ignored by the staff. The manager eventually approached and provided us with seating options. The view from the hotel were amazing and relaxing The server took our offer in just a few minutes. Drinks were prompt and good. Our plates took over an hour to arrive Both the sliders and lobster toast were very good. Fries great. Getting and paying tab were a little clumsy. Had to ask for credit card to be returned I will most likely go back, hopefully the service improves

Fernando helped us at the bar and gave us insightful recommendations for food and drinks! Amazing service and amazing food! Thank you Fernando!

Delicious food. Well designed and conveniently close to the Hotel Del and the beaches.

Awesome bar! Incredible view! Our bartender Kyle made the best mezcal margaritas in San Diego and has the best energy!

Cocktails are AMAZING! The Duchess is a must! I've had both brunch and dinner here and left full and happy! Staff was attentive and the views are breathtaking! I'm excited to bring my friends here for a night out! My girlfriends and I haven't had a night out in a while and we will definitely be coming back! I had the sliders and am excited to try the fish tacos next!
