San Diego hotel restaurants and their amazing chefs have put together creative menus and even some opportunities to take a prepared feast home with you in this most uncommon year. I’ll keep this list of where to have Thanksgiving dinner in San Diego updated as I hear about even more great ideas, which I’m sure will be hitting my inbox in the coming weeks.
Where to Have Thanksgiving Day Dinner in San Diego
Make a reservation for Thanksgiving lunch or dinner or, better yet, check-in to one of the best hotels in San Diego.
Hotel del Coronado
Two restaurants at Hotel del Coronado, a top beachfront hotel in San Diego, are serving special Thanksgiving dinners.

The sea-to-table restaurant is offering a three-course menu featuring seared tuna tatouche, white truffle winter squash bisque, slow-roasted and lightly smoked turkey, mountain berry apple crumble, and more.
Enhance the meal further if you like with family-style options, including whole roasted two-pound Baja striped sea bass, beef tenderloin roast, and whole roasted spaghetti squash. Choose indoor or outdoor seating.

VIRTUOSO RATE
Through my role as a luxury travel advisor with Cadence, I’m pleased to offer Hotel del Coronado with Virtuoso amenities that include:
- Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability (room upgrades are not possible in Beach Village)
- Daily Buffet breakfast, for up to two in-room guests (approximately a $100/day value as it includes tax and gratuity) <– currently a la carte breakfast at Sheerwater
- $100 USD Equivalent Spa Services credit (not combinable, no cash value if not redeemed in full) <– currently a food and beverage credit
- Early check-in/late check-out, subject to availability
- Complimentary Wi-Fi
More often than not, the Virtuoso rate puts you ahead of what’s available online and I can handle any special requests on your behalf.
Use the button below to book online with these benefits (do not enter children into the search as it will price them as adults – I’ll add the kids on later). I’ll be notified after you submit and will reach out to answer any questions and help coordinate your stay.
*If on a mobile device, scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Full Site” to access rates and booking.
HILTON.COM
If you are eligible for AAA, Military or Hilton Honors or rare discounted rates that outweigh Virtuoso benefits, you can book through Hilton.com. Hilton also now offers a Semi Flex Hilton Honors rate that occasionally makes the savings on higher-priced rooms more beneficial than the Virtuoso rate. I’d check both sites.
Pendry San Diego

The next course selections include braised snake river farms short rib and persimmon mustard glazed salmon with sunchoke puree, crispy sunchoke, and sorrel. Finally, choose a fall dessert: roasted vanilla apple or pecan cream pie.
