   7:45 PM dinner on Valentine's Day. While there were people, I wouldn't describe the place as being packed. This was a first visit to this place and I had heard good things about the good and the atmosphere. I was expecting a bit of a quiet, intimate experience. We were seated on a bench style seat with a very small table and a chair opposite to the bench. We were close enough to the two couples on either side to hear every single word being said. The bar area was VERY noisy. It was almost a sports bard atmosphere with the staff talking VERY loud to patrons. This was my first let down. There is nothing like spending your Valentine's date trying to talk over the noisy bar staff behind you AND sharing conversation with people sitting less than an arm's length beside you. The waiter was polite and took our drink and appetizer order. We just had water as neither of us drinks soda or alcohol. We ordered a crab dip appetizer that was very good. Our dinner order was put in. A fish with bisque soup and a table lobster mac and cheese were ordered along with a salad. Time passed and we never really saw our waiter as our water glasses started getting empty. The salad came out and my salad plate was taken away with the exclamation of "There isn't room on the table!" The person never even asked me if I needed the small plate. The staff began bringing our food order out. Again, there was an exclamation of "There really isn't room, where do you want this?" I bit back a reply... It is YOUR little table at YOUR establishment, The mac and cheese was put down. I held on to my salad plate this time. My husband's fish came out.,... with grits instead of soup. The staff that brought it out said "Oh yeah, it did say soup on the ticket." Then he looked at us for guidance. He asked if it was okay to take the grits that we did not order. We, of course, said yes. He said he would return with the soup. We dished out lobster mac and cheese. It was lukewarm at best. So was the soup. Disappointed.

   The restaurant was pretty full when we arrived for our 5:15 dinner reservation. We were seated and our water and wine served promptly. Fortunately, we skipped appetizers, because the perfectly prepared fried shrimp dinner preceded by a lovely salad was more than I could eat!

   We enjoyed our anniversary dinner at our favorite restaurant last night. Once again, Goin Coastal delivered. From the greeting, to Zach sending a glass of Prosecco to start our evening, to Kristin’s awesome attention to detail, to the amazing Pompano (me) and fried shrimp (my wife), Goin always has it “goin on”!

   The fish selection was very good and both meals were excellent. I had the blackened redfish and my wife had the cobia. Everyone at the restaurant was very friendly and accommodating. We will be returning next month.

    Overeall the food was good. The salmon dish wasa bit bland, but the mac lobster dish was very good. The temperature in the building was cold so we dined with overcoats on. Prices were a little high but acceptable. This restaurant has no outside signage lighting so at night, it's easy to miss it's location as it is amidst several other eateries.
