Cowboy Star came with rave reviews from friends, so expectations were high. It was a very busy, fully booked night and we didn’t have a reservation, but we were still seated near the meat case upon arriving.
We were greeted with a complimentary lobster amuse-bouche, followed later by a ginger–pineapple palate cleanser after our salad—light, refreshing, and a thoughtful touch. Bread service was a standout: super buttery, with whipped butter that was incredibly light and airy finished with specks of Hawaiian black salt.
Another highlight was the strawberry–pineapple–lemon mocktail. Pineapple-forward with subtle strawberry notes and a bright citrus zest finish that hits the roof of your mouth—surprisingly complex and well-balanced for a mocktail.
The creamed spinach missed the mark—too salty, not creamy, and not fully wilted—but it was comped, which was appreciated. Mashed potatoes were inconsistent and a bit grainy, while the mac and cheese was excellent. Caesar salad portions were generous, and I liked the crumbled croutons for even texture.
Unfortunately, the biggest issue was the ribeye. We ordered it medium rare, and it arrived nearly blue rare. The server checked in immediately upon delivery—which is why we don’t have a photo—but after sending it back, the ribeye returned unevenly cooked, with some parts medium and others bordering on well-done. Compounding the issue, the plates were extremely hot, causing the steak to continue cooking at the table, which is likely why it ended up fully well done by the end of the meal. The steak was comped, which was absolutely appropriate. Regardless of price point, a steakhouse should know how to execute steak temperatures correctly and consistently.
The wagyu skirt steak, on the other hand, was much better. I really liked the bite and it wasn’t overly fatty for a wagyu. Our server mentioned it was crossbreed of a Japanese wagyu cow and an American breed, which made sense given how balanced it was. We asked for medium and were told it would come out a bit rarer (a little confusing). The final cook landed closer to medium-rare. It paired beautifully with both the bordelaise and peppercorn sauces.
Service overall was friendly and knowledgeable.
While the ribeye cook was unacceptable at this level, I hope the management team takes the feedback seriously and improves things for a future visit—if we do decide to give it another try, given how close it is to where we live.
The customer service at this restaurant is outstanding! My daughter and I enjoyed Manhattans at the bar and then dinner seated with more family.
Our steaks, the ribeye and filet, were delicious! Yes, there's a vegan steak that was thoroughly enjoyed.
My only gripe was that the mashed potatoes tasted

My only gripe was that the mashed potatoes tasted like they came from a box and the baby broccoli was very chewy. Also, our server said there was crab on the $120 Tower, but there wasn't. No big deal. It was fabulous still.
A Very romantic place with very high standards. I will return.
My god......ive been to MANY steakhouses, restaurants and 5 star dining venues but this place here.......a whole, other, LEVEL! It is pricey but I truly feel that, for the quality of food, service and location, it cant be beat. Nestled in a beautifully set location on coronado island, this place
My god......ive been to MANY steakhouses, restaurants and 5 star dining venues but this place here.......a whole, other, LEVEL! It is pricey but I truly feel that, for the quality of food, service and location, it cant be beat. Nestled in a beautifully set location on coronado island, this place exudes fine dining and historical experiences. The steaks come paired with a plethora of steak knives (with explanations) that are all hand made and of the highest quality. The service was exemplary and the servers themselves were quite beautiful (😏) and very friendly. Out of all of the places that ive dined at, this one will be my DEFINITE go to whenever I want an actual price tag worthy meal. The entertainment, a one man army with his guitar, was some of the best solo playing and singing that ive heard at any place with a live performance. I literally cant say anything negative about this place. Until next time ❤️
Wow , what a steakhouse , best experience ever
★★★★ Skirt Steak Dreams!
If you're looking for a great steak spot in Coronado, this is it. Seriously, the skirt steak was one of the best I've had in a long, long time. So good. We also got the French onion soup and it was delicious—really flavorful and cheesy, but not

We also got the French onion soup and it was delicious—really flavorful and cheesy, but not too salty like they can sometimes be. The staff was great, too. They were always there when you needed them but didn't interrupt our conversation. Definitely going back!
