    Whole Snapper
    Trey R.

    Going out with a crew of 11 can be a tall task, especially in Hilton Head where the restaurants are incredibly busy. Thankfully, we were able to book reservations for Coast so we made the trek to Sea Pines gave this place a shot. The place is located right next to the beach which makes for an incredible atmosphere. Unfortunately, the con is that a boardwalk cuts right through the outdoor seating and wet, sandy, beach goers cut through as you're eating. They said they couldn't seat all 11 of us together so we had to split two tables between the 11 of us. I don't know the reason but it's less fun to not have everyone seated together. We sat down and opted for some simple appetizers including the Shrimp Nachos. I typically try to steer clear of any nachos but they decent and good for a small group. For my main dish, I opted for a Whole Snapper. The fish was great but every time I get a whole fish, I forget why I usually don't. It's just extra to pick out bones and such, but the flavor and spiciness of the fish was good therefore it was worth the effort. I was able to try the Sweet Corn Risotto and Cashew Crusted Salmon. Both plates were delicious in their own respect and I would try them out if I returned. If you're visiting Sea Pines make sure to bring your day pass ticket to your waiter and they will apparently reimburse you. Unfortunately, we didn't find out about this until after we left. All in all, I enjoyed trying out this place but adding up the small imperfections, I don't think it's entirely justified in price. We still had a good time, I just wish more attention to detail was placed in the serving process.

    They have lots of outdoor seating but it's not really shaded unless you sit lower down at the umbrella tables. The bar was first-come, first-served, and it had seating with better views. The strawberry heat cocktail was good (not weak like everyone else on Hilton Head). The shrimp tacos were amazing! I craved them for days afterwards. My husband liked his old-fashioned & can dip. The hush puppies were good, but the portion was smaller than at other places we had been in the area, though the hot honey at the bottom was good. They gave me $10 off for the parking; however, there's no parking on site if you're not staying at the resort which sucks but luckily the guy let us in because it wasn't busy. Great service

    Beach Club Boil

    Coast is one of my favorite restaurants on HHI! Our server Kelly was so friendly and attentive. This time I had the beach club boil which was outstanding. My Hugo spritz was also perfectly made! Another amazing experience at Coast and I can't wait to come back!

    This place was amazing! From the live music during the day to our waitress. We went during the oyster roast and it was beyond pleasant. We had two buckets of oysters (each $28) and it was a lot. We also had the shrimp which we were instructions it came on ice at first until it came out, we asked the waitress for the hot ones and they were able to accommodate. The vibe was giving. We had to pay for a guest pass to access the resort to get to the restaurant. We got a credit with the restaurant for the parking pass price once we brought our parking pass inside for them to validate. We will definitely visit again next time we were in Hilton head.

    Coast, in my opinion, is one of the best special-occasion restaurants on the island. The $9 Sea Pines gate fee is deductible from your bill as the restaurant is owned by the Sea Pines Resort. You can grab a great family pic by the ocean while you wait for your food. There are fire pit tables, a fun touch! Indoor and outdoor dining. Service is incredible and there are always fantastic menu options. Try the shrimp tortilla soup! If everyone in your party is over 21, consider the Ocean Lounge upstairs. Same menu, more adult vibes. Reservations recommended for both but we walk in frequently.

    Outdoor seating

    Visited from California and wanted to enjoy a nice dinner with my boyfriend. We came on a Saturday night without a reservation, but the host was nice enough to give us a table on the back porch where the views were nice. One note is that the drinks were good and super strong! The food was a solid 7. The oysters were great, but the other seafood dishes were a bit bland. I would come back for another date night just because the ambiance was nice and moody. The cocktails were great and it was relaxing to look out into the coast. There's a direct path from the outdoor seating area to the beach! Most people took pics out there after dinner, it was a nice touch to add to this place.

    The appetizers.  Oysters and shrimp nachos.
    Abigail P.

    We came here for a kid-free night out, and it was the perfect retreat. We were seated at a fire pit overlooking the beach and sunset, which instantly set the tone--warm, elegant, and full of coastal charm. The view alone made the experience feel special. We started with shrimp nachos and oysters, and both were outstanding. We cleaned the plates, which rarely happens for us. For dinner, we ordered the redfish and a butterflied filet mignon, and both were cooked impeccably--exactly to our liking and perfectly prepared. We were truly impressed with the quality of the food from start to finish. Our server, Kelly, made the evening even better. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful with menu questions, always checking in and making sure our drinks and water were refreshed. She even recommended an upstairs 21+ spot with incredible views, which was a great bonus suggestion. This restaurant offers everything--stunning views, an elegant atmosphere inside and out, exceptional service, and delicious food. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the island, and we will definitely be back.

    Upstairs lounge area overlooking the ocean.

    Headed to Coast for an evening business dinner. The upstairs lounge is the perfect setting for such a meeting. Upon entering, our group stood near the bar and were greeted by a very warm and professional staff. The bar is extremely well-stocked with a number of restaurant-selected wine options. Also, they have a phenomenal bourbon display with many upscale options for the bourbon enthusiast. Once we were seated at our table, we were able to take in the amazing ocean view. I could imagine this room being a great spot for a date night. The food feedback from my guests was all positive. Collectively, our table ordered: hush puppies, short rib empanadas, whole snapper, short rib special of the day, chopped salad with salmon, and roasted jerk chicken. Our table also shared a couple bottles of Franciscan Cabernet Sauvignon. Great spot that I will definitely revisit. The only drawback was the $9 requested at the guard building upon entering the property. It's not that the $9 was a big deal, but I could see this being a minor drawback for some. I'd assume that Coast is aware of this and it would be nice if they were to validate or refund the entry fee for patrons who are just visiting the restaurant.

    No children upstairs so a nice quiet adult atmosphere. You can only request upstairs by calling the restaurant no option on the website when making reservation reservations

For the time of day, made for a romantic evening overlooking the beach and crashing waves. From the first spoonful to the last bite, this seafood-focused meal was a standout -- refined, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The Corn Bleu Crab Bisque was a great start. Rich and velvety, it delivered deep, layered flavor without feeling heavy. The sweetness of the corn played beautifully with the briny richness of the crab, and the bleu cheese added just the right touch of sharpness. The seasoning on the Old Bay was a bit heavy for my taste that subtracted a sophisticated finish. Next came the Pan-Seared Scallops, and they were nothing short of outstanding. Perfectly caramelized on the outside and tender within, the scallops were cooked with precision. They rested atop a bed of citrus-sweet corn, which was frozen. (Otherwise, this dish would have been a 10/10) accompanied by a lemon beurre blance. The Blackened Redfish brought the meal home with bold, southern-inspired flavor. The crust had a fantastic sear, locking in the fish's natural moisture while delivering a satisfying punch of Cajun spice from the red pepper sauce. It was served with a light coconut inspired rice pilaf. Service was warm and attentive, and the pacing of the courses was spot-on. The ambiance was upscale but not stuffy which made it a perfect setting for a celebratory dinner or a relaxed night out for seafood lovers.

No complimentary bread service here, and FYI, a simple side of pasta is $15. I've been told to make a rez and sit at the bar.
