Coast 236 Restaurant & Bar

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Coast 236 and had the greatest experience. From the food to the drinks, the staff and the atmosphere, everything was absolute perfection. Our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about the appetizers, entrees and desserts. The bartenders and servers were so friendly, accommodating, helpful and knowledgeable. The owner Rick was so easy to work with and he runs a truly beautiful restaurant. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. Truly a night I will never forget! Thank you Rick and your incredible staff for making our night so memorable!

Coast is a great choice if you want fine dining without stuffiness. We stopped in once for cocktails only because we wanted a proper drink. Excellent cocktails and a nice bar. Bartenders were awesome. We even had a surprise me cocktail which was innovative and wonderful. We also had dinner on the patio one night. The tasting menu is the perfect way to enjoy many things on the menu without committing to huge portions.

Atmosphere and initial impression at the door was a turn-off, but the food quality was EXCELLENT. We arrived at about 8 pm on Wed, July 5th, and the hostess greeted us. We said 2 for dinner (we are locals & live about 2 blocks away). She asked if we had a reservation, which I thought was strange because 50% of the tables were open. She said reservation only. I looked and saw the entire bar was open, not a single patron eating at the bar. She was turning us away, so I asked, "Can we eat at the bar?" She said she needed to ask first & it seemed like our business was not wanted. We were allowed to eat at the bar. We ordered Martini's and 2 entrées. The drinks were small but adequate. The food arrived within 15 minutes, and the salmon was perfectly done! The Halibut was amazing as well. We dined at the bar for about 1 hour total. Im not sure that I ever saw any of the staff smile or show some animation of any sort. I would say the food prices are moderate to moderately high, so I would expect more friendly interaction from start to finish. All the tables that were open when we came in were still open an hour later. Like I said earlier, we are locals, and I didn't feel welcome at all. The atmosphere is very quiet and all the furnishings and walls are white and devoid of color. I will give it another try soon and report back. The food was amazing, but everything else must step up a couple of notches. Remember, as a local guide, we pay for our meals & dining experience, so I will always give an honest, unbiased opinion. Stay tuned for more updates on this restaurant.

We celebrated our 20th Anniversary on this visit and there was a card on the table for us when we arrived. We sat on the beautiful patio and received exceptional service with wonderful recommendations for the best selections. You can tell the staff takes great pride in what they offer here! Our favorites were the halibut and fillet!

We love Coast 236! We came here after we got engaged last year and loved their food so much, we recently came back. Nice homey atmosphere and the food is absolutely delicious. All the food was incredible, but the Scallops took the trophy. We got crème brûlée, but it wasn’t for us. The lamp lollipops were tasty, but expensive for 3 tiny lamb ribs

Came here for my girlfriend's birthday dinner and we were not disappointed! Their menu focuses on seasonal and local produce (which is awesome) so it changes frequently. We ended up getting the tuna crudo, baguette with mushrooms and a cream sauce, a morel risotto, and a salmon with potatoes and crispy brusell sprouts in a bearnaise sauce. The tuna crudo was delicious and had a wonderful balance of flavors and pop to get us started. I'm not a big mushroom or pasta guy, but I LOVED the morel risotto. The baguette with mushroom and cream sauce was also delicious (who doesn't love grilled bread covered in a cream sauce lol). We thought the salmon was the least remarkable, but it was still perfectly cooked and had a nice bearnaise to go with it. Only wish is that there were more crispy brusell sprouts! They were great. Service was also excellent. Highly recommend if you want a nice dinner in the area!

Coast 236 was awesome. It's a reservation only restaurant, with a beautiful dining room & outdoor patio. We had the Trout, and the Pork Belly entrees, which both were fabulous. Cooked extremely well, with even better sauce - highly recommend them both. For dessert we had the bread pudding and the creme brulee. The bread pudding was delicious, with a chocolate twist. The staff was friendly, helpful and very polite. The manager came twice to check on us, and wasn't overbearing at all. Very good experience all around.
