€€€
• Mediterranean • Coronado
Booked 205 times today
Nighthawk takes its name from the Edward Hopper painting, not as nostalgia but as a reflection of atmosphere, people gathered, light stretching into evening, and the feeling of stepping just outside the ordinary. Set entirely outdoors in Coronado, it embraces the Pacific breeze, shifting light, and horizon in a way that echoes the rhythm of the Greek islands, where life unfolds in open air and time moves more slowly. The space centers on connection and presence, drawing from the Greek idea of philia—relationships built through shared moments and unhurried conversation, rooted in a tradition where gathering, simplicity, and time spent together matter most. Nighthawk lives in that overlap between places, suggesting that the warmth, ease, and sense of belonging we associate with distant coasts may already be closer than we think.

    My friend and I went to celebrate our birthdays together and we’re greeted right away with a long stem red rose by the hostess and escorted to our table by Gina our server who was very friendly and recommended some dishes for us to share . Gina made our evening very special being so accommodating and just so nice 👍 We enjoyed and shared the lamb shank and the whole fish ( so delicious )and there’s plenty of leftovers for us to take home. We deliberately left room for dessert and the knafe sundae was so delicious as well as some kind of Persian cookie with fruit compote ( forgot the name) Knafe was my favorite though and would highly recommend it. We were both given personalized macaron which Gina brought with birthday candle 🤗 We were blown away by the care the staff gave to make our experience special ❤️

    We randomly decided to go here for dinner. The food, vibes, and staff blew our minds. Food felt super filling, nourishing, and absolutely delicious. The staff (especially Ellie) was so kind and it helped that they were knowledgeable about allergies as well as very accommodating (gluten)! Will definitely recommend to friends/family and come back again ASAP

    We were greeted with smiles and everyone was very kind. Although we made reservations for the balcony it seemed like someone else had taken the only spot that could accommodate 3+ group but it’s okay because we had a table near the balcony with a beautiful view. We tried the trip dip appetizer which was good. We ordered the tuna, bolognese, and burger. All was very well. Server checked on us every once in a while. Overall a 10/10 experience I would come again!
