Jolie

Blink and you might miss it, Jolie packs huge flavors into a small space. Just having opened two years ago, I am so impressed with the strong menu. Each dish we had incorporated playful textures and fresh flavors. Although the interior of the restaurant is simple, the food is what supplies Jolie with artistic edge. Highly recommend coming here if you’re looking for high quality, flavorful dishes that are well priced.

It would take a novel (or at least a decent short story) to encapsulate our experience. Jack was the most gracious host that anyone could ask for. He truly went out of his way to make our night special. Don't be deterred by minimalistic interior...they put their heart and soul in to service and food. Oysters...delicious! Scallops...spectacular! Shrimp and melon...crisp, fresh, unique, and absolutely incredible! Crab toast...yes, please!!!! Filet o' fish sliders...definitely an elevated and delicious version of the original. Sea bass crudo...heat contrasted with the saltiness of the capers was perfection. Steak frites...savory, tender, and delectable! Ice cream...unique...and incredible contrast of flavor and texture. Definitely a must stop for us on any future visit to Coronado. An absolute gem!!!

So the place has very humble decor inside, but it’s very comfortable and chill with great service. We started with the bread and the cucumber melon shrimp salad, which were both absolutely to die for. I can’t recommend them enough. I had the gnocchi and I’m not gonna lie.. it was kind of sad, but I can’t be mad because the salad and bread with fun butters were just that good. I don’t think I’m a pasta snob from living in Italy for a couple years but maybe I am. The gnocchi were like mashed potato lumps and just kind of fell apart. I’ve made gnocchi myself being taught in cooking classes and it’s pretty simple and should have more structure and not be so mushy. I definitely will return to this place for the bomb salad and maybe will try the fish next time for a main.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The food is so phenomenal - props to the chef. Also shout out to the two Jacks - great service. We ate the “Trust the Chef” 7 course option and hands down one of the best dining experiences.

The Seafood aspect of the restaurant really grabbed my attention it was excellent and closely resembled Water Grill. The steak options could have been better. The quality of the food was good but the level of service could have been better with course changes being somewhat sloppy. Our servers were both incredibly nice and knowledgeable.

Although the restaurant is small and gets busy, we spent our anniversary here and they did not disappoint. The server was very kind, we didn’t have to wait long for our food unlike others who did not have reservation. The seafood was delicious. Go there during their happy hour. We’ll be going back to this place again.

Can not recommend Jolie's highly enough. The food was incredible, the service from Jack was elite and the location is fantastic. I was in town for work and wanted to check out Coronado Island so went on the reviews - Jolie's had the best - they were spot on. Do yourself a favour and make sure you dine here when in San Diego.

Hands down some of the best food on the island. We have been twice now and the raw oysters and scallops are magnificent. The appetizers are amazing and the main course is knock it out of the park I highly recommend Jolie

My husband and I celebrated our 11th anniversary here, and it was such a great experience--surprising in the best way. We started with the melon shrimp salad, which we found out recently won an award--and it definitely deserved it. For our mains, my husband had the steak frites and I had the tuna steak. Both were excellent--cooked perfectly and really flavorful. Wine list was also well thought out and I was excited to see many different regions represented. The service stood out just as much as the food. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and seemed to genuinely care about making sure we had a good time. They really knew the menu and helped guide us toward great choices. Special thanks to Jack for his knowledge and great service. We'll definitely be back and would recommend this place to anyone. Just keep in mind the menu might change, so what you see in reviews may not always be available--but don't let that stop you. Everything we had was fantastic.

We dined here for the first time on Saturday, June 7 with a reservation. As locals, we have wanted to try this place for a while. When you walk past it, has the look of a place that is all about the food as it is nothing but an empty space with some tables and a makeshift open kitchen in the back. We expected the chef to be turning out some amazing food. We were seated at a two-top towards the back of the room between two other couples and a group in the back corner. One major problem with this space is it is all hard surfaces (concrete floor and blank walls) so we were not able to carry on a regular conversation as the group in the back corner was loud enough to drown out everyone else. We started with the brussels sprouts as we get them any place that has them. They were an interesting take with a spicy sausage and different than the usual fried with basalmic glaze. I liked that they weren't overcooked or greasy. We also ordered the duck and steak frites. The duck dish was good, but not what was described on the menu. Both were minimalist takes so not big portions or served with any sides. The steak frites was one of the worst I've had. The meat was lacking a sear and served so rare it was stringy. The fries were way undercooked and just mushy, very disappointing. They do have an interesting wine selection with most glasses over $20 I think. Unfortunately, the ambience was so lacking and the restaurant is so loud when anyone is talking, it kills any romantic or other vibe that it might have. I wanted to like this place but I'd only recommend it for tourists as the food was not good enough to overcome. Hopefully they will invest in the interior (sound proofing) and improve their food consistency. Until then, it is just a blank space with and overpriced menu of hit-or-miss.

This place is a hidden gem. As others have said, the decor is very minimalist, but the attention to detail on the food is really nice. The kitchen is out in the open, which I actually found interesting because I like to watch people cook. The entrées were a little overpriced for what you got And seemed like the afterthought to what were absolutely amazing appetizers. The Peruvian scallops were so good, we ordered four more for the table. I still dream about the liquid/sauce that was in those scallop shells. We also ordered the bread, and much to the chagrin of my attempts at low-carb diets, we ordered a second round of the bread. The potato croquettes were good and I would recommend them. Like many of the other reviews, we had the executive chef actually as one of our servers, and he was very friendly and amazing to talk to as we were enjoying our food. This ended up being a perfect pre-Rady Shell place before taking the boat over. I would absolutely recommend this as an appetizer spot.

Good for what we came for - happy hour oysters... I wasn't a fan of the sauces that came with...next time i will stick with lemons and tabasco as an option. Bread and butter plate is delicious. Crab toast was just ok. My friend had the scallop and the crudo of the day and said they were good. Service was ok. The inside itself has minimalist decor. good to keep costs down

Coronado Island in San Diego is a wondrous community where you can feel both a part and detached from the city. Taking one of the highest highways I've ever been to reach this island, the views from all corners of Coronado can be spectacular, especially for romantic moments when the sun rises and sets. However, usually in small communities on the water the price for entertainment and food can be tremendous. Luckily, there is a restaurant who knows you're looking for delicious seafood without destroying your mood and wallet. Let me tell you why Jolie is worth checking out at a very certain time. Jolie is located just a few minutes walk away from the ferry stop in Coronado. It sits neatly next to a facade of what looks to be a historical building. At first when you walk in you think the decor would be more ornate, but inside is a very minimalist presentation. Concrete floors with gray walls, a simple counter near the kitchen, and large steel shelves against one wall to hold wines and supplies makes this space feel very much like it's more pop up than permanent restaurant. It's also such a shame Jolie is so close to the water but the only natural light coming in is from the front entrance. A space so open as Jolie's dining room floor would benefit from more of the warm natural light coming through. However, ambience might be one thing but the best part of Jolie is the happiest of all happy hours: Oyster Hour. On Wednesdays to Sundays from 4 PM to 6 PM Jolie has a menu allowing you to enjoy a great selection of seafood at discounted prices. We're talking a chef's selection of different oysters for $1.50 each or Peruvian scallops at $3.50 each. Their crab toast, packed to the brim with crab meat, can be enjoyed for $17. Even hot items like Filet o Fish sliders or their house burger is available for discount during Oyster Hour. And if you're wondering if they skimp on the portions because the price is low then look no further than my photos. You can see they are not petite bites and each are presented beautifully. They do have other items on their full menu such as steak frites or Bluefin tuna and coming during Oyster Hour might give you the resolve to try these items since you saved so much. After eating what could only be described as a fisherman's catch worth of seafood it was satisfying to see my wallet only slimmed down instead of exhausted to zero. The service was kind and felt similar to what you might experience during lunch time at a bistro near the water in New York. I know, very specific, but what I'm trying to say is service was perfectly fitting for this joint. If you do decide to come to Coronado and looking for a delicious meal to capture the essence of this community I recommend coming to Jolie during Oyster Hour and eat to your heart's content. Then go for a walk by the waters to settle your fullness down. Cheers!

So worth it! We had such a great dinner there with friends. The place used to be butcher shop and they kept the decor very minimalistic which was fine. The seats could use cushions since the ones we sat on were metal. Again, not a big deal but could elevate the experience. The inside is intimate, they can only hold 34 people in the restaurant. They could use more baffles to help with the sound. Even with this, I am giving them 5 stars. The food was amazing and the staff were great. There were only two people and they were on it. Not sure how they serve the beautiful and amazing food they do in their tiny kitchen but wow. There were four of us and below is what we ordered. Scallops and oysters - so fresh and the sauce the scallops were in was light and refreshing. Brussel sprouts- the BEST! The sausage with it was fantastic and they were perfectly cooked. Ribeye- not on the menu. Very tender. The sauce was good but a bit salty. To be fair, we don't use a lot of salt on any of our food and our friends loved it. Loup de Mer - Mediterranean Sea bass- FANTASTIC and the presentation was amazing. Pork chop- holy cow! Tender and flavorful and so yummy. Dessert- ice cream with olive oil and a sauce I had never had before as salt. It was so simple yet so scrumptious!. I would 100% return!!! So, so good. Note- corkage fee is $25.

For the love of God don't don't don't... we have come to Coronado every year for 36 years and this was one of the worst experiences we've ever had. The menu isn't what it claims it is online And it is BEYOND loud with a rock band playing next door... I will attach pics but man it's bad. We only got a couple apps bc we had to get out of there. The crab toast was meh but the scallops were great.... I can't express how weird and awkward and kinda horrible this was!

This was a wonderful restaurant on Coronado Island. It is small and intimate. The restaurant was a little noisy at first but after one large party left it was perfect. The dish sizes were great and the food and presentation were all wonderful. Recommend this restaurant for a date night or romantic evening out. Great wine selection too.

Neat intimate dining experience in the heart of Coronado featuring small bites from an experienced chef but prices were just a bit too high for the portions offered. Tried a number of dishes including potato croquettes (nicely crisp on the outside and with a nice marinara sauce but priced at $18 for 4 balls), bread ($10, would be nice if it was included given but was very tasty), and gnocchi ($30, felt this was fairly priced given the portion was decent), pistachio ice cream ($15 or $18 if I remember correctly, 3 scoops of regular vanilla ice cream with some pistachio on top) The restaurant is quite small and has a nice ambiance. The waitstaff are superb. However overall just felt it wasn't spectacular given the price point, dishes were good but not outstanding and very expensive for small portions. Still leave a bit hungry after spending quite a bit. If more of a vibes/ambiance/fine dining experience person this is a good place for you, if more of a foodie there are better options

This is such a hidden gem!! When you walk in, the space isn't overly decorated or done up so you're not sure what to expect but the food really speaks for itself. Each dish we had was really fresh from the oysters to the bluefin crudo and the flavor profiles were great!! The staff was excellent as our server was super attentive the whole night plus gave us a run down of each dish after serving it to us. Overall, it was such a great experience and we'll definitely be coming back again soon!

Look, I got the chef's choice (7 courses) and did the wine pairing. Normally I would take a picture of dessert, but frankly, that 7th serving of wine had me acting a fool and forgetting that my camera eats first. I loved this place. I loved that it was so plain and deli-like. I loved that you could watch the chefs cook behind what looked like an ice cream counter. I loved the gen Z-hipster vibe servers. It was just great. The only 2 notes that husband and I had: 1. The fish (was it halibut?) was under seasoned or needed a bunch more sauce or something. It felt slightly unfinished. 2. The pork shoulder needs a different color sauce. Like white. It tasted great but looking at it reminded me of grandma's meatloaf. Which sort of killed the fine dining vibe in my opinion. I'm giving 5 stars still because it was all very edible and just needs minor tweaks. My husband and I agreed that if you could get those two dishes figured out you will have Michelin looking at you.

Wanted to start off by commending Jack for his one-man service from seating guests, clearing tables, keeping glasses full, and delivering plates to the table. He was friendly, attentive, and was overall a good vibe. In addition, the kitchen's ability to produce the food they do with such a minimalist setup is pretty impressive. Decor is also very minimalistic. Not much artwork on the walls giving it a soft opening vibe. We didn't see any liquor but we did take advantage of the Osyter Hour Rose and Bordeaux. We essentially tried everything on their Oyster Hour menu that runs Wednesday to Sunday from 3p-6pm. Notable dishes were: *peruvian scallops- loved the coconut vinaigrette *potato croquettes- hot and crispy on the outside, warm on the inside, good pesto and vodka sauce *crab toast- lots of jumbo lump crab, loved the hot sauce it was served with *filet-o-fish sandwiches- V reminiscent of McDonalds *kumamoto oysters- small, sweet with typical accoutrements A couple minor issues we encountered was that some of the portion sizing was inconsistent and items were missing from the dishes. Croquettes- Order was supposed to come with 4 but our two orders only came with 7 (we were a party of 7) and later came to find out they ran out of them but we were never told (we were the first party there). Caviar was missing from the crab toasts and we weren't told until we asked. We later found out they ran out as well. Crispy cauliflower portion seemed scant and it appeared the couscous was missing. Jack did attempt to make it right by offering a free bottle of Rose, which we appreciated. Would say a solid 3.5 overall. Maybe hearing about what was and wasn't available from the jump would've helped set our expectations with the portion sizing and missing items.

We made a reservation for this restaurant without looking at photos of the interior, so when we walked in, I was initially surprised. The interior is not decorated like restaurants normally are. However, we were warmly greeted by Jack who was our host and waiter. Upon chatting with Jack, we learned that this location used to be a butcher shop and that they plan on making renovations soon. Despite the interior aesthetics, the food tasted like it belongs in a fine dining restaurant. Jack gave his recommendations for his favorites from each category. We ordered: -Bluefin Tuna Tartare ($23): I highly recommend this dish. Every bite of tuna, which was plated on top of a buttermilk vinaigrette, paired perfectly with the grilled sourdough. -Crab Toast ($26): The jumbo lump crab, caviar, masago, and tarragon were already plated on the toast. This was delicious, and I would get it again. -Two oysters ($3.50 each): This was tasty but a bit small. -Two Peruvian Scallops ($5 each): These came with coconut vinaigrette, masago, and pickled Thai chili. I really enjoyed this starter. -Pork Chop ($42): I usually get pork chop that arrives all in one large piece. Instead, this came in slices, and the texture was so tender like pork belly. It came with cheesy semolina and arugula salad. -Ice Cream: We were given a vanilla ice cream dish with pistachios and olive oil since we were celebrating a special occasion. This was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Jack remained attentive and friendly throughout our whole meal. He checked in to see how we were doing throughout the meal, and perfectly timed when to bring out the next round of dishes. The couple next to us mentioned that they always get the chef's course, so we're planning to try that the next time that we're back. Thank you Jolie and Jack for such a delicious dining experience.

I recently booked Jolie for a bridal shower party. Molly coordinated for the venue and was beyond helpful! Everyone I worked with was so easy going, letting us adjust menu items to suit the guests, and giving us free rein with decorations. The staff made sure our drinks were full and were so fun with the bride. Everyone loooooved the food- the burrata and bread like what ?!!! Insanely good and that was just the first course. I highly recommend this place for events, you won't be disappointed. Thank you Molly & Jolie Staff!

Love the Staff and ambiance. Food was creatively curated and absolutely delicious! Very chill and casual vibe which was pleasantly surprising given the sophisticated menu

An absolute hidden gem. Excellent flavor profiles, masterful wine pairings, great service, fresh on fresh seafood. You will tell your friends and family that you've been here.

Jolie had one of the most delicious meals I've had recently and it was super easy to snag a reservation!! It's such a charming and cozy spot for a date or girls night. The kitchen is kind of connected to the seating area, and it's a fun ambiance! I wish I got a glass of wine while I was there. It looked like they had such a nice and unique selection! Some highlights of the meal were the Pan Seared Gnocchi and Crispy Pork Belly. I had never tried rabbit before, so loved having that opportunity with the gnocchi! It was really creamy and rich. The Crispy Pork Belly was amazing because of the textures and mix of savory and sweet flavors! The Beef Tartare was nice too, but the tomatoes stole the show from the other flavors. So happy we tried this spot, really hoping it gets the hype it deserves!!

My husband and I absolutely love Jolie. We've been here a number times for special occasions and celebrations over the past 8 months and it is a really lovely vibe in there. The service at Jolie is impeccable and we love catching up with Jack when we visit. The food is also amazing and consistently delicious. We have loved every single dish we have gotten here over that time. Our favorite appetizers we get are the oysters, Peruvian scallops, Cacio e Pepe arancini, crispy cauliflower, and bread and butter. We've had the loup de mer, halibut, scallops, gnocchi and short rib before and all were cooked to perfection. We would 100% recommend Jolie to anyone looking for amazing food, great service, and good vibes.

Tonight was our first time here at Jolie. For starters, we enjoyed six delicious Kumamoto Oysters. For dinner, we tried the melon & shrimp salad and the pork belly. The salad was nicely blended with the sweet melony flavor, shrimp and a little kick from sliced jalapeño peppers. The pork belly was crisp and plump topped with fried/baked kale. Wow! Loved the meal with glasses ordered and white wines recommend by our server, Jack. Next time, we wanna try the "Trust the Chef" meal with wine pairings.

This place really disappointed me based on the other reviews I read. We had dinner on a Saturday night and there were several strange things happening even when trying to book the reservation. When we tried to book, Resy showed no availability so I chose Notify to see if anything popped up later. Around 3:30PM, I got the Resy alert that a table might be available and there were tables available every 15 minutes from open to close time. It seems like they must not open up all of the tables for reservations until right before service. We took a 7:30 table. When we arrived, they were already out of oysters, and they were out of 2 of 6 entrees. This seems like poor inventory management to be out of so many items early on a Saturday night and was disappointing because we really wanted oysters. The service was OK, but indifferent. We ordered a Bottle of wine and they poured the first glass, but then didn't pour for us again even when they were standing at our table watching us pour our own wine. The gnocchi entree was not hot, although the flavors were good. It was also pretty small with very little crab. The halibut was a nice size but the sides it was served with were really more like garnishes: 1 mushroom and 1 sliver of dry, unseasoned grilled cabbage. There were no starch or vegetable sides on the menu to order either. The bathroom hallway is behind the restaurant and still under construction and the women's bathroom had no soap, but I couldn't find anyone to let them know. Overall, we spent about $200 for 2 people and were left pretty disappointed.

The ambiance was chill and the food was spot on! Some foods you have to try here are Brussels Sprouts, Tartare, Crab bread, and the Peruvian scallops. The restaurant design was minimalistic. Kat, the waitress was very kind and helpful! You have to try this spot!

Originally came to Jolie for small bites and ended up doing their "Trust the Chef" tasting menu of seven courses ($75 per person), in which we really had to trust the process! We were assured before changing our minds that most of the course was what we were already ordering and just went with it. They also sell a variety of wines here that you can grab and go as I witnessed an order pick up. Our courses in order were: Kumamoto Oysters & Peruvian Scallops (5/5): Came with two each and the oysters came with caviar. They were nice starters and were bright flavors. King Salmon Crudo (5/5): The king salmon is like butter! The softest salmon I've ever tried. This one was my favorite. Steak Tartare (5/5): My second favorite item. The tartare was served on a thick sourdough toast and sat on top of fresh tomatoes. Cacio e Pepe Arancini (5/5): Had hints of truffle flavor and very rich in flavor! Sea Bass (4/5) - This was their substitute for the lump crab cakes. It was pretty fresh and I enjoyed the capers on top with the lemon. The fish skin was fried evenly and remained hot and crispy. Duck Confit (4.5/5) - This was served on a bed of fig jam and lentils. It was already flavorful on its own but the fig jam went well with the duck. Panna Cotta (4/5) - Topped with grapes and peanuts. This combination went pretty well together as well as the layer of caramel I believe provided a lot of sweetness. We were quite full towards the end but extremely satisfied. Since we tried a little bit of everything I'm not sure when my next visit will be, however, the tasting course proves that Jolie produces amazing dishes. The ambience could use a little more as there is no natural lighting or any windows, but the food is spectacular coming from such a a limited kitchen space. My favorites lean more towards their starters so I would recommend any of the ones I got in the course. The staff was friendly, helpful,not to mention knowledgeable about the menu and gave a great experience.

I was in Coronado and checked yep for quality dining. Zero regrets. Honestly it felt like my own cooking (i used to chef). No rules just really fresh ingredients and ideas that make sense but are surprising. Jack (chef i think?) and Jack (waiter?) were awesome and helpful. The scallop was absurdly fresh, chilled, served possibly in its own shell with contrasting flavors. The tuna crudo was an awesome twist on bluefin sashimi also with wonderful contrasting flavors. Lupe de meir (I used to prepare this for a famous client daily) was great, contrast of texture of the skin and fish, and the sauces were subtle and made the flavor complete. Bread and butter was like eating donuts. Just so good, must get it. What really surprised me was the dessert. So simple looking and sounding. Vanilla ice cream. With Saba and Olive oil drizzle, almonds and walnuts. Absurdly good combo. So good it's going to be in my home kitchen now. And Jack enthusiastically gave me a bottle of Saba! Stating he just wanted me to have that experience. This was like eating in the home of a great chef. Ill be back.

What an interesting little place ......... As you can see from others' inside pics, this is a very unpretentious restaurant. Your food is prepared at the very end of the dining area and their wine is stored along the north side of dining area. Literally what you see, is what you get. The staff was pleasant and attentive. This evening we were eating progressively along 3 restaurants, so were ordering small plates. We started with the Garnet Yam. As you can see in my pic, you'll receive half a yam. The black garlic bbq sauce worked quite well with the depth of the yam. The sauce, while savory, wasn't that garlicky or tangy/sweetness of a meat bbq sauce. So it complimented the yam well. Ordinarily we like the chew of yam skins, but in this case it was tough - see it was pulling away from the yam. The garnishing with the sesame and peanuts added a great crunch held up to the yam and depth of the bbq sauce. We also shared the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake. As you can see in my pic, there are fresh lumps of crab. The sear was great. The Louie sauce was a nice light compliment to the lightly seasoned cake. The cake was lightly packed and fell apart, allowing it to absorb the Louie sauce.

Do you want to splurge? My wife took me here for my birthday. They offer a 4 course meal for $120/each. You can add a wine pairing, as well, for more $. We don't drink alcohol, but they also offer a nonalcoholic beverage pairing. My wife bought that for me. Each course has four choices and you need to decide which 4 you are going to choose. Each dish looks fabulous. The service is impeccable! After we made our choices, the waiter would bring each dish and announce it, letting us know what it was. Then the nonalcoholic beverage would arrive and be announced. And it was amazing how well each blended with the food! The silverware was replace with each dish. The portions were small, but we both agreed we were full at the end and that the whole experience had been worthwhile. My only problem is: what to do for HER birthday!

Holy smokes! This food and service was absolutely incredible- one of the best restaurants we've been to in San Diego. We'll definitely be coming back!

Five star dining experience Creative, delicious, and beautiful food! Jack and Jack were caring, thoughtful servers and a joy to speak with. My husband and I did a "trust the chef" dinner and let him pick our courses - fantastic! We'll be back

This place in person is not like in the pictures at all. Weird vibe, it seems like they run out of money to finish the restaurant. The service and the food are okay, but definitely overpriced for what they offer.

We found this spot in our last trip to Coronado. We should have been looking harder in previous trips, this place was Amazing! The food was awesome. We had the scallops and burrata as appetizers. Both dishes were very good, the scallops were amazing! The entrees were also both gray steak frites and chicken Milanese both were great. Steak was cooked perfectly and chicken was as well. The Old fashioned while different than traditional were very nice as well. Wife loved her wine selections as well. The place is small. And there as a large party that was clearly having a good time so it was a little noisy. It caused an issue with my entree order but that was quickly remedied. Can't say enough about the wait staff. They were busy with the large party but didn't miss a beat taking care of us. We will definitely be back every trip we take now

This place is a gem. It's tiny, unassuming, and puts out fabulous food. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and they know their stuff. Do yourself a favor and get the wedge salad. My very favorite.

Our reservation was for 5pm on Saturday. We had tickets for a show at the Lamb Player's Theater, so we're limited with time. The place was clean and sparsely decorated with a bit of an industrial feel. It's a small restaurant but you won't feel cramped. Jack served us and we were surprised that they had an "Oyster Hour" from 4- 6pm every day they are open. Since it was so early, we decided to stick with appetizers and a salad. We had the Peruvian Scallops and fresh Baja oysters. So delicious and fresh! Then came the Potato Croquettes (highly recommended by Jack) . They were crispy on the outside and light & fluffy on the inside, delish! Next came the fish filet sliders on a brioche bun, yum! Followed with the Shrimp and Melon Salad, the dressing was amazing! It was bright & sweet. Our last dish was the crab toast, fresh & tasty! It was a wonderful meal and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Coronado.

2nd dinner here - impressive both times. Quality over quantity. Friendly knowledgeable server and allowed our golden retriever inside. We will definitely be back. Creative preparation, quality ingredients, great service, perfect location, and solid wine - what more could you ask for...get the scallop!

This was one of the better meals ive had and we've eaten out 3-4 times a week for 10 yrs Super creative art form cuisine yet so delicious and hearty Scallop, crudo, beet salad / greek salad, arancini, prime rib, sea bass, dessert. Everything was incredible

The service was excellent The ambiance was sterile and the temperature inside the restaurant way too cold The salad with melon was excellent. The beef was mostly fat, and the potato dish was uninspired.

Adorable little nook of a restaurant that you don't want to pass up! Clean and classy vibes; definitely "Not a Chucky Cheese". The staff worked as a cohesive team to take care of us all night as we throughly enjoyed our 'trust the chef' 7 course meal. Trust me you want to try out the 'trust the chef' route. Every dish was delicious, so much I didn't manage to snag a photo because we all dove right in. We were a clean plate club table! They have a nice wine selection that pairs well with their menu. Back to the staff, they truly went above and beyond to make our experience memorable, fun, and enjoyable. Thank y'all! You must give this new little gem a try!!

Go here! And get the amazing shrimp and melon salad. Everything we had was good. Wine list was great. Definitely worth a visit.

Good friends and food. I enjoy coming here and always leave satisfied. Easily the best restaurant on Coronado island.

We've been coming to Coronado for 33 years and this is by far the best meal we have ever had! Sorry to only post a few photos but we were too busy eating everything. We started with the freshest most flavorful Oysters, and Peruvian Scallops. Next we had Hamachi Crudo, Arancini, Grilled Octopus and Parker House rolls, Every dish was truly exceptional. The sauces, garnishes and seasonings accompanying each dish worked harmoniously. The service was welcoming and helpful. It was so interesting to learn about the menu and I really appreciated the help in selecting the most wonderful wine to enjoy with dinner. We will be back to dine again next week as we eat our way through the entire menu.

We had a wonderful dinner here. The food was interesting and delicious. Loved the shared plates approach that allowed us to try multiple items. We agreed our favorite was the fried cauliflower appetizer but all was very good. The service was excellent, many thanks to Jack for his good suggestions and they were kind enough to give us complementary champagne to start our meal and celebrate our anniversary.

WOW. Just wow. This place is absolutely spectacular. I have no words. The short rib and the halibut were stand out dishes. Not to mention the service is top tier. (We love Jake!!). Would 1000% recommend stopping by. Best food on the island by far.

Easiest review I've ever given any business. This restaurant is Michelin star food quality with amazing staff. Best food experience I've had a while and in my opinion best restaurant in Coronado. Celebrated my birthday here with my boyfriend. Had clams, buratta salad, carpaccio & tuna crudo. Everything was to die for and we legit savored and enjoyed every single bite. Food was so good and light. Ate a ton of food but left feeling satisfied and not disgustingly full which I think speaks for the quality of food. The staff was excellent and attentive. The chefs prepared every dish with love. Love that it's a small spot. Very intimate. Big things!!!

Excellent service and excellent food. Came here on a whim with my family. Will absolutely be back

High marks for this up and coming award winning restaurant in downtown Coronado. Beachy food with paired wine was a memorable 19th anniversary dinner. So impressed with the theme of the meal which was Asian miso pistachio tomatillo and melon freche seafood with puffed quinoa -- plus one potato pomme with tomato. Needs a theme identity but is so delicious! Excellent service and neighborhood vibe.

Had a wonderful meal at the new Jolie. All the reviews are accurate. Food is unbelievable!! Amazing what they can do with only a cook top and induction grill! We chose the chefs special where they prepare about 7 courses to bring out. They do take your likes also. It was $65/pp. well worth it. Only reason not a 5 star is it's loud in there, they told us they're working on fixing that, also, the seating outside I think can be better. A little uneven. And don't like high tops. We did sit inside. Know that they're closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

A gem of a restaurant in a very touristy town. The menu was simple, meaning the quality of food really shone. To start the oysters and Peruvian shallops were fantastic. The pork chop and loup de outstanding. Service was attentive yet not overly hovering. Dessert and wine also complemented the evening. Overall the simplistic ambience and outstanding menu was a welcome repose from chain restaurants. Highly recommend!

I don't know where to start! This was an exquisite experience. Our party of four traded quite a few of the appetizers, salads, and entrées. I will include this many photos as I can because the presentation was over the top. We sampled each other's dinners, because it was just experience that it had to be shared! It's a very small dining area, and you'll be amazed at how much excellent food and come out of such a small kitchen.

We have eaten at Jolie once, but we'll go again. The service and food were excellent. The space is plain, kind of a utilitarian look. But the food is adventurous, not the usual restaurant fare you get in Coronado. It's a fairly small menu, but clearly thought and imagination have gone into it. We started with a couple Peruvian scallops and Bluefin Crudo, both absolutely lovely. I have to note that when the menu item says there is chili in the dish, THERE IS CHILI IN THE DISH. My husband, who has a higher tolerance for spice than I do, was in heaven. I surreptitiously took a few chili flakes off my slice of bluefin. I'm sorry, Chef, I'm a wimp. Then shrimp and melon salad, another winner, heavy on the shrimp! The melon took the edge off the Serrano chili in the dish, except when I accidentally breathed a bit off chili into the back of my throat. Our exceptional server, Jack, not to be confused with the other server Jack, brought me a tiny bowl of crème fraîche that cleared things up nicely. For entrees we had halibut and loup de mer, both excellent. The loup de mer looked odd, like a deep- fried canoe, but it was perfectly cooked and very light. Halibut was also perfectly cooked, we preferred it to the loup de mer. There is a nice wine list. Portions are not huge, which is really nice for a change. We didn't save room for dessert, but we'll have to try again another time. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Our server was knowledgeable about both food and wine. Definitely recommend. ​

We were so excited to try Jolie because of the fabulous reviews but we left very disappointed. The restaurant is small and only has one server, which would have been fine except our server was bad. He treated us like we were ordering at a bar instead of a high end restaurant - We felt rushed to place our order and he didn't provide any feedback on dishes or specials. When we ordered, he assured us the kitchen would course our meal but that did not happen. Once we got our food, we quickly realized that it was worse than the service. All of our dishes were served to us cold. The gnocchi and pork chop were so cold that we didn't finish the plates. If you want to go to a nice restaurant for a special occasion, I highly recommend looking elsewhere.

This location is new and the renovations aren't done to reflect the quality of the food and service...but don't be deterred. The experience was simply FABULOUS. We are foodies, so have eaten at many great restaurants. The quality, freshness, attention to detail, service to please - we can't wait to visit their restaurant(s) again!
