The San Diego Reptile show is within walking distance of the Gaslamp that has tons of restuarants.
Also Downtown Johnny Brown's is a very good local burger and brew place right in to the San Diego Concourse (it's literally a couple of hundred feet from the show). The food's pretty good and it has a terrific selection of microbrews, including numerous offerings from San Diego's breweries. The only downside is that it may be overrun by the show's attendees given its close proximity.
Life's too short for uninspired corporate restaurant faire, so if they're a specific cuisine that you want I would be glad to recommend places in the Gaslamp district.
Can you think of any of these places that can seat a large group? I've eaten in the gaslamp district several times and found if you have more than two people your SOL on getting a seat within a reasonable time.
I ate with a large group once... It was with Oakley's sales team at the ASR show... we had the entire second floor of some swanky place... can't imagine how much they spent on it..... I think my point is; it'll be hard to get a lot of people into some of the places in the area. I am sure I am wrong... but I think we need to go 'out of town' to get seats with a larger group.
