    This was our first visit to Coast after a long while. The last time we were there, was maybe 3 or 4 years ago, perhaps more. Our previous experience was bad, poor service, poor food. Today was a completely different story. Great food, Emily our waitperson was attentive, funny and personable. This is a welcome improvement kudos to the kitchen, management, and staff. We've been going to this spot since it was Capt'n Harry's years ago, we'll be back!

    The food was amazing, just what we had hoped for. Southern seafood with flare and large portions. Our server was new, but attentive. The location is authentic, vaulted ceilings are neat. It was a little chilly inside but overall we would def go again.

    Fried seafood and crab dip was delicious. Other entree’s were a little disappointing. Seared tuna had too much soy sauce, didn’t love the sauce with the crab stuffed flounder, and baja fish tacos would have been better with fried fish.

    Ordered the chef special oysters that were described as the larger ones but could barely see two of them. Had to ask for silverware three times before finally getting some. Ordered the Tuna rare but came medium well at best. Also the fish special over cooked. Overall not a great experience and probably won’t go back.

    My wife and I had the she crab soup which was one of the best we ever had! She had the swordfish which was good. I had the fried shrimp and fried oyster combination and it was excellent. We shared a dessert chocolate mousse also excellent. We dine at Coast every time we are seeing a show at the Charleston Music Hall which is next door to Coast. We go to CMH between 4 and 8 times per year.
