Wednesday.
After visiting the Hotel Del Coronado last week we have been planning a way to be able to dine there, as ordinarily it is far too expensive for us.
However, we have found out that there is a festival of food in San Diego called Restaurant Week, whereby a lot of good restaurants offer an affordable fixed price menu.
By checking out the Internet we find that the Sheerwater Restaurant in the Hotel Del Coronada puts on a two course lunch menu for Restaurant Week for a mere $20.
So we phoned up and booked a table for 1.30 today, we then got ourselves poshed up and drove back over to the island.
On the way, since we had time, we stopped at the Maritime Museum and had a coffee, while we watched the old boats, then we drove across to the island and had a drive round the Bay shore, where we found a nice little park and watched the waders on the shore and a seal, who was relaxing in the shallow beach waters.
We turned up at the appointed hour and were seated and a window table. Sally had the soup and I had a plate of mussels and clams with lemon grass.
We followed this with a main course, Sally had a salmon burger, without the bun, but with the salad and avocado pear, while I had the BBQ Brisket sandwich, both of which were excellent and so completely filled us that we did not have room for desert. So our great adventure of eating in a posh restaurant in a posh hotel was a great success, which we enjoyed immensely.
