Every coastline brings with it an air of freshness and wonder, an inspiration in every ebb and flow. Coasts can be recognizable and new … predictably unpredictable in a way that can surprise or delight. But no matter the geography, there is a familiarity and a connection. At Coast 236, the rhythm of familiarity and freshness is our inspiration. Sourcing fresh and sustainable ingredients from water and land, we passionately craft approachable coastal inspired cuisine with unexpected details. Coast 236 takes reservations for tables of 1-6 guests only through open table. Sorry, service animals only.

Chef Rick did it again. Another Great night at Coast 236. We were able to join the Loire Valley Wine tasting and it was fantastic. The service was outstanding. Every course was explained along w/ the wine pairings. We will be coming back to Coast 236 very soon. I highly recommend Coast 236 for a fabulous night out.

We were greeted warmly by the hostess, and she was able to accommodate our early arrival. We had a very enjoyable evening with our server Evan K. He was very knowledgeable in regards to the entrées, along with wine pairings. His level of professionalism was outstanding. We had the tornadoes and the scallops and they were cooked to perfection and the presentation was lovely. Although full he talked us into the crème brûlée and it probably was the best crème brûlée in a long time. We plan to return for one of the special evening 6 courses tasting menu.
