Our bartender Reb was professional, warm and very polite and took great care of us. The hostess, Sylvia was equally warm, friendly with a genuine smile! Our server Payton was also equally warm, friendly and a true professional. Food was five stars and same for ambiance on the outdoor terrace. We will return again and again! Fantastic experience.

If you want to have your faith restored gastronomically- dine at Coast! We did chefs choice 7 course - wish we did the wine pairing - suggestion pick the Spanish white wine which will take you through to the wagyu beef - then let Jason pick from there! The best part of the evening which believe me the food was amazing (small plates - so you can do it ) were the people - Ashley, Jason and Connor (chef).
