- JjoanNashville •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOur experience was 5 star from the time we entered to when we left Coast. Our decision on what to order was enhanced by our server, Jim Babcock, who displayed an indepth knowledge of each food item, the manner in which it was prepared and the variety of tastes and textures of each food we asked about. My only recommendation would be to be a little more generous with your wine pours.More infoCoast 236 Restaurant & Bar$$$$• Contemporary American• Saugatuck•4.9

- BBrianToledo / Northwest Ohio •2 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 17, 2026Jeffrey was our server and helped us have an awesome experience. We had odd weather that day, but everything inside was cozy and welcoming. We chose the Beef Bourguingon with Truffle Ravioli, and Halibut, both with green beans. Paired well with the cabernet.
