    the food was good but the stale rolls were literally inedible. Don't you realize that when you nuke them to try and fool us, they will eventually cool off and I could shoot them with my pool stick. Lucky I didn't crack a tooth and don't say you didn't know they were stale cause the overheating proved you knew it.

    Our reservation was for 8:30 pm. We arrived at 8:34pm and they were closing the restaurant. We had just travelled from Texas all day and I made the reservation a few days prior. FAIL COASTAL BLUE

    The bar was a little loud. My 70 year old parents didn’t appreciate that while having a nice meal. But we really did enjoy our food.

    Genuinely surprised how disappointed I was… the server never checked on our table, and we had to find her to get the bill - the shrimp appetizer was so over cooked it was like rubber bands - and the short rib was half fat and half meat. Literally. I cut off a chunk of fat and was left with two inches of short rib. I’ve had nice meals there before, but I won’t be back… and as a bonus we had a really curious plating of the crab cakes… 13 year olds in the kitchen?

    Nice place considering there aren’t many food options in the area. But definitely not worth the price. My pasta was overcooked and the wait staff was not attentive at all. The breakfast wasn’t great either. We got there on the earlier end, and they sat us at a table that was dirty, gave us orange juice in a glass that was dirty, didn’t have half the menu, and wasn’t attentive even though the restaurant for both meals wasn’t nearly full.

    Atmosphere was nice. Food wasn’t that great considering the prices. The food was bland for my taste. Waitress assumed I wasn’t getting change back and kept it. Way over the suggested tipping. I was embarrassed to bring it up.

    The Coastal Blue was a pleasant surprise!! My husband is in a wheelchair and the staff were quick to help him. The food was delicious, although a little pricey. The service was excellent…thank you, Dylan! We plan to return, once again, to enjoy the quiet ambiance of their inside dining room.

    Entire order was incorrect- all four orders were either entirely wrong or missing something, but server was fantastic with replacements. Everything was rung in correctly on the ticket so all issues were with kitchen. There were only a few tables for an early breakfast and I’d be concerned about what I would get served during any sort of busy time. Staff saved what was a very strange meal.
