We had a pretty large party and coast was gracious enough to give us their private room. Overall the food was very good. We got oysters to start and a nice wine to pair it with. I also got the steak and crab cakes to start. Everything was very tasty. Only knocking it down a star because it took a very long time for us to get our food. It was a weeknight and wasn’t too busy so we were surprised at how long it took. Overall it was a great dining experience though and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Absolutely amazing experience every time me & my boyfriend come here. Truly have never had better. Wonderful options & extremely personable and friendly servers. Especially Peter! He is truly amazing & I love how he builds connection with the customers. The food itself is splendid – every time I try something new and love it. Can't believe I've never tried carpaccio before I came here! Bless you all for your hard work & reputable service! And, shout out to Deepak, the wonderful pastry chef who never fails to bring something amazing to the table. Came for happy hour and the best last minute plan me and my fiancé have made. Our server Josh, incredible! Great personality! Very personable. We chose so many different dishes it was just so har stop choose from. Amazing, yummy and great experience!

We had an excellent experience at Coast! Stephen was incredibly attentive and provided excellent service throughout our visit, he really made us feel taken care of. The oysters were small, but absolutely amazing, especially during happy hour, definitely a highlight. The calamari is another favorite; perfectly cooked and not too starchy, which we really appreciated. The ambiance was fantastic: chic, lively, and perfect for a nice night out. Overall, a wonderful dining experience, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

We came to coast to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary. The space/ambience was perfect for an intimate family celebration. Peter, our server, was exceptional. He went out of his way to make all of us feel welcomed and looked after. He was engaging and offered to look after every detail, even the ones we hadn’t thought of, he anticipated. The food was top notch except for one dish, which was addressed immediately and an off-menu dish was created to accommodate my mom’s dietary restrictions. It was the absolute best service we’ve had in years! Thank you, Peter, and the team at Coast!!
