Gaslamp (Downtown (San Diego)) is only about a 15 minute trek to Coronado and would offer way more options, including Buco Di Beppo if you'll want pasta.
Also, parking would probably actually be easier for a group of us--we could probably stage up on the rooftop level of the Horton Plaza parking structure, which might even offer something of a photo opp. Restaurants are scattered within blocks of it (BDB is about 3 away), and parking is free for 3 hours.
Just brainstormin'...
This seems like a pretty good idea. Then we can hit up the suggested eats or decide on something else around there.?????????????????????????????????
Of course I will require some pretty good directions to where ever we decide since I tend to get lost easily!
