Tiered patio seating at this Hotel del Coronado restaurant looks out past palm trees to the Pacific, with whole fish deboned tableside after it comes off an open wood fire. Chef Jojo Ruiz's Mediterranean-leaning menu includes a Baja-caught whole snapper tiradito finished with pickled fresnos and ladolemono, alongside sustainably sourced oysters and grilled octopus.
