Welcome! I'm a mom of four, navigating family life in beautiful Folsom, California, and sharing our favorite local spots, events, and family adventures to help other families discover the endless fun our community has to offer.
We recently had the most amazing dining experience at Crown Landing, the fancy restaurant inside the Loews Coronado Bay Resort. It's a beautiful place, right on the water in sunny San Diego.
Parking at Loews Coronado Bay Resort is convenient. The hotel offers valet parking, which is perfect if you want to avoid the hassle of finding a parking spot. We requested that our SUV be parked outside as we had our dog with us. The valet was very accommodating and allowed us to park in an available spot outside. This made it easy for us to quickly check in and ensure our puppy, Zeus was comfortable.
Once we were settled, we took a leisurely stroll around the resort's beautiful grounds. Our kids had a blast throwing a football on the lawn, while we admired the stunning architecture and serene atmosphere. The lobby of the Loews Coronado Bay Resort is simply breathtaking, and we couldn't wait to experience the culinary delights that awaited us. We were so impressed by the resort and the restaurant that we want to plan a return trip to stay a few nights at the Loews Coronado Bay Resort.
A Warm Welcome
Upon entering the restaurant, we were immediately impressed by the elegant ambiance and attentive staff. The outdoor patio, with its stunning water views, was the perfect spot for a leisurely dinner. The menu at Crown Landing is a feast for the senses, with a wide variety of dishes that showcase the freshest, seasonal ingredients. We were truly amazed when Chef de Cuisine Ana Rosales personally greeted our family and offered to create a custom menu just for us.
