Each part of Coronado eats differently: Orange Avenue is the dining spine of the Village, the Ferry Landing and First Street look across the bay, the Hotel del Coronado anchors the beach end, and Glorietta Bay has its marina and golf course. Restaurants below are grouped that way, with new openings marked. Every entry links to its source, and this is not a ranking.
