Coronado Island is located in the center of the San Diego Bay and is home to not only a little beach city, but also North Island Naval Base. Because of the influx of the military and its proximity to San Diego, Coronado has several restaurants that are known for their food and atmosphere. San Diego visitors and locals alike flock to Coronado to sample the delicious fare that the island has to offer.
Pehoe's
Pehoe's is located on the water at one end of the island. This restaurant is known for its Pacific Rim cuisine and its breathtaking views of the San Diego skyline. After entering through the front door, your hostess will guide you through a cave-like setting until you reach your table. The restaurant has tiered seating, which allows for a bit or privacy and unobstructed views of the bay no matter where in the restaurant you happen to be sitting. In the warmer months, Pehoe's offers its patrons the option of dining on the patio, which is directly adjacent to the water. If you happen to have your own boat and get hungry from sailing on the bay, Pehoe's offers its own dock where you can tie your boat and walk in to enjoy a meal. Entrees include lobster ravioli, Caribbean jerk chicken and a shrimp trio platter.
