Leroy’s Kitchen Serves Up Farm-to-Table Fare in Coronado

Focusing on fresh, sustainable and local food, Leroy’s is not your conventional island eatery.

-by Kali Keene

Recognized for its farm-to-table fare, Leroy’s Kitchen & Lounge is a comfortably hip locals’ hangout. Start with a craft cocktail; the Summer Solstice with jalapeño does a sultry tango on the tongue, as does the Sweet Heat made with mango-chipotle-infused 1800 coconut tequila. For dinner, Executive Chef JC Colon offers a variety of unique seafood, meat and pasta dishes. Favorites include Mary’s Brick Roasted Chicken, the Brandt-braised brisket and the lamb-ragu fettuccine. Live music heightens the casual atmosphere Wednesday and Thursday nights, as well as Sunday brunches. 1015 Orange Ave., Coronado. 619.437.6087. leroyskitchenandlounge.com
