   Great restaurant on the whole if you’re not dining out frequently. Quite bored with the menu that never changes. Once upon a time they put fried chicken on the menu and it was delicious. It left as quick as it arrived ☹️ Crab cakes for us are the best thing in the menu. Salads are getting over dressed again. Way too saucy. I had to ask for dry greens just to make it edible. Powers that be please please hear this… it’s really time to either add a nightly special or weekly special. It’s time to see something new on the menu. It has come to a point if no other restaurant has availability we end up here. 🥱 Bar is always great but really really loud.

   Excellent service. Chef was able to give suggestions on what to order to accommodate our food sensitivities. The Groper was delicious. So was the tortilla soup and Crab cakes. The fillet was cooked perfectly and enjoyed the baked potato accompaniment. Very nice evening.

   We had a great dinner at Coastal Kitchen. The hostess team was so kind and welcoming. Our server was great and the food delicious. The grouper was so so good and the beets cooked perfectly. The ribs were good too, falling off the bone!

   Once again, a terrific evening of great food, service & ambiance where everything — from cocktails and apps to dinner and dessert — was done to perfection.

   Food and service are excellent but be aware, it is very loud indoors. The patio is a better option if the weather permits. The crab cake salad is my favorite.

   Excellent food and service in a comfortable and casual coastal setting! The trout dip, burger, and cucumber jalapeño margaritas were wonderful. Easy to see why this place is a local favorite. And they even had my favorite passion fruit iced tea! Wish we lived closer because this would be on our weekly rotation. Well done to the owners!

    Our server, Zach, was great. I had the crab cake salad which was delicious. My guests had the seared ahi salad and the mini filet plate. Both also delicious.
