Fodor's Expert Review Coasterra

$$$ Harbor Island Modern Mexican
Swathed in murals, intricate light fixtures, breezy outdoor seating, and a cushy interior, this massive waterfront destination has one of the best skyline views in the city, making it a top spot for Mexican craft cocktails and bayfront dining. The menu veers toward modern Mexican with starters like tableside guacamole, tuna tostadas, and crispy calamari; be sure to try their organic margaritas or various agave-based libations. For something more substantial, go for Chef Deborah Scott's fish-and-chips or chicken enchiladas. The menu is somewhat pricey but worth every penny to dine on top of the water with an unobstructed view of downtown.
