    A friend and I had a wonderful dinner Monday! We shared the calamari, which was great, loved the sauce too, perfect accompaniment. We both had the rockfish special, again, delicious. I had the carrot cake, my friend the apple ricotta cake. As always , such a pleasure dining at one of our favorite restaurants.

    Amazing food. Every bite was melt in your mouth lovely. It was a birthday meal. Calamari was perfect. Crab cakes were the best I’ve ever tasted, truly. Duck in a cherry sauce melted in the mouth. Carrot cake with rum sauce more than delectable. Ambiance and food led us into the sweetest conversation about our years celebrating. What a pleasure to discover Coastal Grill. The only caveat is that it is more expensive than Open Table posts. It should have three dollar signs by its listing, not two. For this lovely meal the cost was high. But goodness, it was wonderful.
