Best Seasonal Restaurants in Kensington

My wife and I were visiting from Washington state and Great Maple was highly recommended to us by a couple of friends. Wow no disappointments, we went on a Saturday night and thought the worst about crowds and parking. Not true, we had ample parking and the crowds weren’t there early! The service and the food were wonderful the drinks were well mixed and everything and everyone exceeded our expectations. We had Vegan hash and prime rib with portobello mushrooms has an appetizer . We cannot wait to come back and try something different or maybe the same!

We were there for our 50th Anniversary. Our daughter recommended this restaurant to us. My wife and I had an outstanding experience at your restaurant. Our server was very attentive and efficient. He made our 50th memorable and exquisite. The food was outstanding with incredible flavor and presentation. Possible one of our most pleasurable dining experiences of our life. Thank you Herb and Wood.

Our waitress, Molly, was fantastic. One of the best service experiences we have ever had while dining.

First time at this restaurant as we are staying in Coronado for a few weeks. My wife and I reserved a table/booth on the patio at 5pm just as the sun was setting. This was for our anniversary dinner. Shane our waiter was very nice and offered great insight into the meals on the menu. We decided to start with a couple of mocktails with a side kick. My wife had the tropical spritzer with strawberry, mango, pineapple and a side shot of coconut rum (she loved it!) I had the hibiscus spritzer and she put half of the shot of rum in mine. Very good! My wife does not have a big appetite, so we opted for the appetizer cauliflower dish and split the lobster rigatoni dish. Both dishes were amazing, and the lobster rigatoni had big chunks of lobster, not just small pieces. We both loved it, and would get the same thing again. Then Shane brought out the desert menu and we were torn between the gelato sundae in a boat and the cake and the cheesecake. My wife loves pistachio gelato, but they did not have that. We asked Shane his recommendation, and he said cheesecake first, or the sundae, but if were really wanted pistachio gelato, the shop down from them, (Sundae's) had a large selection of gelato. We decided to go there and although they didn't have pistachio gelato, they did have a Dubai Chocolate with pistachios in it. We both got this in a cone and it was very delicious. We would definitely revisit Serea again for a special occasion and probably get the same thing again. It was that good. And thank you Shane for being such a great host/waiter and being completely honest about his recommendations. This was a great dinner/evening out for our anniversary dinner!

Wormwood absolutely blew us away. We came in for a celebration dinner and had such an incredible experience from start to finish. The food was phenomenal. The chef’s crispy-skin sea bass was easily one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time — perfectly cooked with that incredible crispy skin. I also highly recommend taking advantage of Happy Hour because it’s truly an elite time to go, but definitely follow it up with a dinner entrée. You won’t regret it. The cocktails were just as impressive — decadent, creative, and beautifully done. I especially loved the Hugo Spritz. And a huge shoutout to Marjorie behind the bar, who was so incredibly kind and generous. She treated us to a digestif cocktail at the end of our meal, which was such a thoughtful touch and the perfect way to end an already amazing celebration dinner. Savannah and Ryan were also fantastic. They had such great menu recommendations and really took the time to make the meal feel special. Their knowledge and enthusiasm genuinely brought the whole experience to life. Between the food, cocktails, service, and atmosphere, Wormwood is absolutely somewhere I’d return to. An exceptional dining experience all around.
