I really wanted to like Coronado Cafe. I'd heard great things and it's the type of place that is typically right up my alley, so I was very disappointed with my recent experience. \n\nIt's adorable - I'll give it that, but it was absolutely dead and such a buzz kill. We did a double date last Friday night and when we arrived at 8pm we were one of TWO tables in the entire restaurant. The wait staff was standing around with nothing to do and when the other table finished we were the ONLY table in the place so they started breaking down -- blowing out candles, picking up the tablecloths and literally turning lights off around us. They made it very uncomfortable and the antithesis of everything this charming, quaint, place should feel like. \n\nThe food was OK - two people in our group had the burger (decent - trying to hard with a weird mix of ingredients), pizza (undercooked, heavy and gross) and the meatloaf (the best of the bunch but still just okay). They were also very misleading with their sides and salads. \n\nAfter being rushed out of the place so they could close down and get home we went to another local bar and realized we weren't offered the 8pm-10pm Happy Hour discount on our drinks or appetizers. Should we have to ask? It's printed on the menu and assumed it would be automatically applied to our bill - which was much too expensive for what we had.\n\nOverall, a pretty uncomfortable and disappointing experience.
