I just came back from a very frustrating experience at Coronado. I went to meet 4 friends for lunch around noon. Not only did we wait for 40 mins.,we witnessed two other parties seated before us (both parties of 4). I suppose there are no extra chairs in the "cozy, cute" cafe. We were pushed outside in the 100+ heat thanks to the non-existent inside wait area. After a good, solid 45 mins., a kindly waiter offered to take our orders and assured us we would be seated by the time our food was in. Ten minutes later, our food had arrived and still no table. We ended up squishing together on two tiny patio tables, with barely enough room to eat. We were dangerously close to falling off the patio stairs. We were told by waiters that they "felt bad" but ultimately, "could not very well kick anyone out." We were not offered any discount or compensation for our trouble, but were simply told that they would "do their best," but were already basically doing all they could. It was a horrible experience and I will not go back in the future. If you are two people, perhaps you will not have trouble finding a table, but don't dare go with a large party, or during lunchtime unless you expect to wait 30+ mins. There are so many wonderful bistros on 7th St., don't waste your time on this one.
