    Chef Matt and his staff continue to set the mark for an outstanding dining experience. Whether at the bar or at a table dining at One Coastal is a bucket list checkoff when visiting the area. Chef Matt strives for excellence and meets milestone after milestone. The James Beard Foundation needs to have him back next year in Chicago for the finals as his talent deserves their recognition!

    As an individual who really pursues and enjoys fine dining, this place was incredible. Unpretentious but the food rivals Michelin rated restaurants, engaging and attentive staff but they managed to do it with just a few folks. I come down to this area about once a month and this place is definitely one of, if not the best spot for dinner.

    Started our meal with unique and delicious drinks accompanied by appetizers. The Korean Fried Maitake Mushroom was crispy and full of flavor, the Seven Hills Beef Tartare was perfect. Dinner was equally amazing. The Crispy Skin Golden Tilefish had the perfect amount of crunch surrounded by a perfect combination of flavors. The Seven Hills Cast Iron Bavette Steak was cooked to perfection. Key Lime pie was heaven in a slice. Highly recommend this restaurant! On top of the food the service is excellent!

    Staff, adult beverages, and food are all top notch. You have to experience it to understand why it's so great. This place is an amazing local gem but please don't tell everyone <*shhhhh*> or we won't be able to get a table anytime soon :-)
