California Coastal Cuisine

Covewood restaurant at San Diego Mission Bay Resort offers modern, fresh California coastal cuisine, emphasizing local bounty.

It’s a strong fit for a slow couples weekend on the water. Covewood, the signature restaurant, serves Pacific-inspired plates at indoor and outdoor tables along the bay, with fire features for the evening. Later, Plaza Del Sol pours craft cocktails and small plates under the palms, with live music. One note for planning: the resort sits on Mission Bay, so the water views look out over the bay, not the open ocean.

It is built for one. Every Wednesday, except Valentine’s Day, Covewood runs Sunset Sips, a prix-fixe date night menu pairing an entrée with an appetizer or dessert. Any night, happy hour runs 3:00pm to 5:00pm Sunday through Thursday at the Covewood Bar and is served with the sunset over the bay, and dinner starts at 5:00pm at indoor and outdoor tables set among fire features. Reserve on OpenTable or call 619-275-7922.

Brunch is served daily from 7:00am to 2:00pm, with Lite Bites from 2:00pm to 5:00pm. Dinner runs 5:00pm to 9:00pm Sunday through Thursday and 5:00pm to 10:00pm on Friday and Saturday. The bar is open 11:00am to 10:00pm Sunday through Thursday and 11:00am to 11:00pm on Friday and Saturday. Reservations are recommended and can be made on OpenTable or by calling 619-275-7922.

Yes. Covewood’s private dining room seats 7 to 28 guests, and the restaurant asks that a party of that size be arranged by email in advance. A service charge of 20 percent is added to the bill for parties of six or more. For a group larger than 28, the resort’s events team works from 15 indoor meeting rooms and 5 outdoor venues, including Garden by the Bay at 8,670 square feet, and can be reached at 619-275-8971.

Yes. Covewood takes reservations from anyone through OpenTable or on 619-275-7922, and parking is validated for local guests who dine there, so an evening out does not carry the overnight parking charge. The restaurant holds an OpenTable Diners’ Choice award. It sits on the water at 1775 East Mission Bay Drive, about five miles from San Diego International Airport, and 360-degree tours of the dining room and the patio are linked on this page if you want to see the room first.

Live music plays during brunch on Saturdays from 10:00am to 1:00pm and Sundays from 11:00am to 2:00pm, out where the tables look over the bay. The resort also runs a seasonal events program of wine tastings, craft beer sessions and local food evenings, and the current schedule sits on the resort’s events calendar. Plaza Del Sol, a short walk from Covewood, pours craft cocktails and small plates under the palms with its own live music. Weekly live music is included in the resort amenities fee.
