The Coronado Boathouse offers a casual fine-dining experience. The landmark restaurant has been in business since the '80s. Owner Marty Jensen has lived in Coronado since 1975 and is very fond of the area. The atmosphere of the establishment is intimate and family friendly, and the seafood and steak are well worth the visit. Drink specials are available during happy hour every day but Saturday, from 5pm - 6:30pm.
Interesting fact: The original boathouse was built in 1887, the year before the Hotel Del was constructed. It was used as a model and training site, where construction workers, electricians and plumbers could hone their skills before starting on the hotel. Hence the reason the two structures appear so similar in style.
