SEA180 Coastal Tavern Restaurant Review:
About the restaurant: The ever-expanding Cohn Restaurant Group is behind this compelling dining experience in the oceanfront Pier South Resort, Autograph Collection in Imperial Beach.
Food & Drinks: With views of the crashing surf and passing dolphins, guests enjoy huevos rancheros dressed up in salsa verde; farm-fresh vegetable frittatas with herbed oven-roasted potatoes; or cinnamon brioche french toast for breakfast. Lunch includes a juicy SEA180 burger with bacon jam, aged white cheddar and garlic fries, as well as a shrimp Caesar with romaine and kale, house-smoked bacon and country loaf torn croutons. The dinner menu calls for shared bites like Baja calamari with jalapeño and chipotle aïoli. A standout dish is seared albacore poke enlivened with ponzu pineapple salad, toasted macadamia nuts, sea beans and a feisty yuzu vinaigrette. Carnivores should opt for the stuffed pork rib-eye with Fontina, prosciutto and a chipotle crust, or the tender braised short ribs. Inside, the stylish bar and dining room is comprised of reclaimed woods, arcing booths and friendly communal tables. Bartenders are well-versed in handcrafted cocktails and after-dinner sippers. While service can be uneven, the dreamy setting and tasty Baja-Med comfort-style food tilt the scale to a positive overall experience.
