My coworker and I stopped by this spot recently since we work just down the road and had heard great things from our team about this hidden gem inside the Hilton Garden Inn. The place has such a stylish, coastal vibe--super cute and immaculately clean! We kicked things off with the Caesar salad and the soup of the day, both of which were delicious. For the main course, my coworker had the skirt steak sandwich, and I tried the crab and avocado flatbread. The sandwich was fantastic, and the bread really elevated the dish. My flatbread was a standout, loaded with plenty of fresh crab. Our server, Danele, was amazing--he really went above and beyond to make our experience special. I'm definitely looking forward to returning for happy hour. The bar area is adorable, and their specialty cocktails sound so interesting and unique! read more

We visited Coast with our family. This restaurant is in a very lovely hotel in Tampa near Tampa International airport. We were seated immediately at about 5 pm when this restaurant opens. The host and our waitress Bri were friendly, well informed about the menu and food was really delicious. We ordered from the hand held menu (southern chicken), bowls (salmon) and our family ordered steak and grouper entrees. Wine and dessert is also available and a full bar. Great service, casual but dresser ambiance and fun place to hang out. Hope to return to this place again soon. Check it out. read more

This is where culinary dreams go on vacation and forget to come home. Salty blue cheese, with nutty pumpkin seeds and fresh & juicy strawberries- heck yes! It's coastal chic meets "I've made it in life and now I'm treating myself." You walk in & BAM! you're hit with stylish vibes, ocean-inspired elegance, and a menu that reads like poetry. The flavors are so well-balanced it's like your taste buds are doing yoga. Let's talk about the wait staff. These people are cooler than your cousin who DJs part-time and wears sunglasses indoors. Polite, witty, knowledgeable, and just the right amount of "I know you're not from around here but I'll still treat you like Beyoncé." Iconic. No Florida visit is complete without [checks notes] key lime pie !!!! Bright, tangy, and just tart enough to make your lips say "whoa" but your soul say "thank you." 10/10 ! read more

Food was excellent. I got the shrimp quesadilla and it was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend got the chicken sandwich and he said it was so good. It came with delicious house made chips.

Working in the area and wanting to grab a healthy lunch the menu looked enticing. I'm so glad we came. The service was fantastic with a professional but home town vibe which I loved thanks to Brendalee! The salmon bowl was extraordinary! I think the warm citrus vinaigrette really set it apart. But every single bite was perfect and delicious. My husband got the Cuban bowl and loved it ... Especially the fresh mango. We will definitely be back and will highly recommend it to others. read more

The restaurant is open but there is only order off the menu with service from the kitchen. The buffet is no longer an option. They will customize the food from the menu but it is very, very limited. Eggs prepared a few ways, a few meat choices, (ham, bacon, pork or chicken sausage, and turkey bacon) The chicken sausage is very sweet. The breakfast burrito is loaded with eggs, meat and cheese. It comes with potatoes and a side of salsa. The poached eggs were cooked just like I like them, very soft and runny. The coffee is Starbucks and they also carry Tazo teas. Our server was efficient and brought our food to us as soon as it was cooked. Hot and tasty, I just wish there was a little more variety. Maybe some yogurt, cottage cheese, or grits. They were not anywhere on the menu and I am not sure if they could be requested. Might have to ask tomorrow morning as we are staying here at the Hilton Garden Inn another night. read more

This restaurant located in the Hilton Garden Inn near airport. This is interesting to see a restaurant in the hotel. We were here for lunch. The food is not cheap for lunch and dinner after we look at the menu. As long they can provide a good food. We are good. We order the chicken panini and the Margherita Classic. The panini is good. Chicken was grilled. Accompanied fries was crispy. The Margherita is a flatbread top with chop steak with mozzarella cheese. It very good. Overall the food is good. The wait is a bit longer for the food. The reason is three stars is due to waiter didn't pay attention to the table. Even we try to flag him down. Lunch during office hour usually is short. They need to paid attention we try to paid and get put. It take us ten minutes to finally get his attention. read more

Food was amazing, they just opened and wings , burgers, flatbreads, and the Chicken Melt was delicious. Fries were our sides and they were amazing!! Service was great, the woman who served us was so incredibly fast, drinks were also delicious. Scenery is amazing even though they just opened and still doing some construction!! Loved this so much!! read more

We were staying at a nearby hotel and this place was recommended by the front desk. I had the mahi tacos and my wife had the coast house salad with blackened mahi. Both were wonderful! Exceeded our expectations by far. The mahi is fresh delivered twice weekly according to the waitress. The restaurant was not crowded for a Sunday night and the waitress was very friendly. Prices were good. Located in the Hilton Garden Inn. Meals were made with care. read more

Coast Kitchen & Bar - Seating area. - Seafood Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Im from Colorado, lived there my whole life, so I'm in no way a seafood snob. i ordered the Mahi Mahi and when I tell you it was the worst seafood I've ever had... It was obviously old and microwaved, no seasoning, no sauce and the price was outrageous. The service was MUCH worse than the food. the servers had attitudes, argued with my guests about their dairy allergies and then the waitress proceeded to invite another server over and blatantly talk very disrespectful about us right in front of us. The front desk worker was also extremely short with us and borderline rude. The only thing I know for sure are these workers are not properly trained in customer service and are not good with people. I never leave reviews but I had to go out of my way to write this so no one else's waits time or money on this restaurant, especially since there are many better options than this one in the area. The one star is for the ambiance, which was just fine. Attached pictures of my room key, and the restaurant coupon incase management has the audacity to say I wasn't there or this didn't happen. If they do, I will post my bill with the exact time and date of them this occurred. Try me if you want to. thank you. read more

Great restaurant! Stayed at the hotel and didn't want to stray too far for dinner, so we popped into this lovely restaurant based in the hotel lobby. We were met with friendly servers and great food.

A road warrior's delight - After a long day of travel, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate getting a "real" meal at my own hotel.

The food was disgusting. Smelly, overdone, and expensive! Go absolutely anywhere else. The people where friendly enough in the morning, but when we came their in the afternoon the woman was very rude and talked bad about my husband and his friend the second they turned their backs. read more

So, normally when I travel, I will not eat at a place "at the hotel". Something about finding a "real" restaurant. Well, this place was close by and we decided to give it a try. We were VERY glad we did. The food was excellent (Grouper sandwich and side salad) and "Nicky" provided great and courteous service. Oh, we also had a turtle pie for dessert which we enjoyed. Only downsides...we kind of felt like we were eating in the hotel lobby, which, I guess we were. So, if you're looking for atmosphere, this probably isn't your place. And secondly, when we first came in there was nobody around. Every employee was "in back". So we stood around until someone at one of the tables (customer) said "I guess you just seat yourself" which we did read more

I liked this little place inside the Hilton Garden Inn Tampa. I've so far only had breakfast there but I really like the atmosphere and the staff working in the restaurant is VERY friendly and very accommodating. For breakfast it's a fairly typical buffet with delicious baked goods, fruit and eggs, potatoes, bacon, etc. They have a customized egg cooking station (very nice and friendly chef cooking you up eggs to order) and waffles and the like. I love the decor of the restaurant, it is very European and modern in style and i love the square little creamer container they have on each table. I took a look at the lunch and dinner menu and the prices seemed reasonable (not outrageous hotel prices like some restaurants in hotels) with things from $9 to market price and every thing in between. The menu sounded creative and healthy. They do seem to be busy during lunch and dinner when I have gone by so the food can't be terrible ;) If I get the chance, I will definitely have to come back and try the lunch or dinner there. read more

Typical hotel restaurant, a place where those who are traveling eat. If you live in the area, you probably will never go there! Kept it simple ordering a burger and a grilled chicken sandwich. Food was serviceable. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Presentation was decent. Service was not attentive but adequate. Restaurant manager Victor F. was very hospitable and professional! read more

This five star review goes to Ashlie!!! What a difference a dining experience makes when you have service with a friendly smile, positive attitude, knowledge about the menu and just an upbeat personality. We love coming to this restaurant before we fly out of Tampa. Atmosphere out on the patio is very relaxing. We just love hanging out in a little pod chairs in front of the hibiscus! As far as food goes crabcakes were fantastic and that grilled cheese sandwich was not basic multiple cheeses with tomatoes grilled to perfection! Thanks Hilton & Ashlie, we will be back! read more

After a busy day out, we decided to stop by Coast for some food after hearing good things about it. We got a steak flatbread, grouper nuggets, truffle fries and the daily special (a corned beef sandwich). Everything was top notch and delicious. We learned that everything is house made, and it showed in the food. The grouper nuggets were lightly fried and fresh and the sandwich, fries and flatbread were so delicious. Service was great as well! We are locals to Tampa, so we wouldn't normally think to eat at a hotel, but this experience changed our mind completely! read more

The Homewood Suites across the street doesn't have a full restaurant, but luckily, the Hilton Garden Inn across the street does, and they've worked it out so that Homewood guests can order room service from Coast. I took advantage the one night that the Homewood didn't have free dinner, and I'm glad I did. It took me a while to decide what to order, because several of the menu items looked amazing. I eventually decided on a salad and a half pizza. Yes, they sell half pizzas, which is the best idea ever. More pizza places should do this. Mostly so I don't order a whole one and ending up eating the entire thing. But that's beside the point. I had the house salad, described on the menu as iced greens, roasted peppers, pine nuts, red onion, smoked bacon and sweet pepper vinaigrette. The iced greens were very heavy on the dandelion greens, which I can't stand. So that made me a little sad. But everything else about the salad was excellent. The pepper vinaigrette was perfect - similar to a catalina or french dressing but a little thicker and a little sweeter. The pine nuts just added a little something different. I would have loved to have had more greens - if I get the chance to order it again, I may ask for it on spinach instead. The half pizza was probably about a 10 or 12 inch pizza - not big slices, but not tiny. The crust was crisp, and the sauce was very tasty. All in all, a mighty tasty pizza, but nothing super special or different about it. It was pretty much what I was hoping for. Apparently the entire menu is that good - I got back one night and there were a few cops hanging out that apparently come into the Homewood and order dinner from Coast on a regular basis. Definitely better food than I've experienced in the past in hotels of a Hilton Garden Inn type - more along the lines of what I would have expected at a regular Hilton. And that's a good thing, as far as I'm concerned. read more

I don't expect much from a hotel restaurant or bar, but we have had great experiences here. Last year we ate at Coast Tampa's when we stayed at a hotel next door. It was great. We ate at the bar. Nate was a fantastic server and host. The food was good. This year we stayed at the Hilton Garden inn for a conference at another hotel next door. The hotel exceeded expectations. We ate at the bar both Friday and Saturday nights. Friday Nate was there again, and a super experience. The wings were exceptional and the cobb salad delicious. Saturday Jan took care of us. We met 3 groups of people at the bar, all who go there because they are friends of Jan, and were all interesting and welcoming. my wife had the grouper picata (delicious) and I had fish tacos (spicy and tasty). We recommend this restaurant enthusiastically. The food is great and the staff treats you well read more

Went in here for lunch with a few others. The service was good. The food was ok. If I hadn't been there on business I probably wouldn't have gone at all. Not too shabby, if you're staying at the hotel it's not a bad option, but I wouldn't go out of my way to have a meal here. read more

I found this place on yelp. I am interested in walking to lunch places near my job which leads me to interesting and new places. Plus, a nice brisk walk does wonders for my attention span in the after noon. Anyway, I called ahead of time and was quoted 10 minutes for the food which was accurate. Also the staff was very friendly. The restaurant is small and quite. I might just stay and dine next time. I had the herb chicken sandwich with garlic truffle fries. The sandwich was ok. There was a nice combined flavor of the chicken with the arugula. I thought the bread was a little on the thick side. I'm a fan of good bread to meat ratio. The garlic truffle fries were good but I didn't find them terribly different than any other garlic flavored fries. The price is on the $10+ range. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here but it was a nice change of pace from other places in the area. read more

Best hotel restaurant food I can recall. Located in the Hilton Gardens off O'Brien just south of the Airport. Went there after trying some samples at the Dine Tampa Bay kick-off.....and wanting to have more from their $25 three course special menu. There were 3 options in each category, so we shared great beef satay and generous fried calamari apps, good salmon with rich salad as well as tender filet with mashed taters, followed by bourbon bread pudding and chocolate mousse that we intended to take home but somehow consumed before boxing. The portions were perfect, so we left satisfied without stuffing. Nice upscale touches such as a fine corn/avocado relish with the satays, great calamari toppings, and a cinnamon-shaker outline of a fork on the dessert plate. Service by Catrina was unusually attentive and skillful as we arrived early and had nearly her entire attention. We also checked out the regular menu that offered other items of interest, and a good beer/wine list. Prices on some items are a bit high, but not for hotel food. And the $25 special was a real deal. We may get back again to sample more. This is a fine illustration of the usefulness of Dine Tampa Bay....esp. in the Summer doldrums before the Elephants arrive. Send To A Friend Link to t read more

I love this restaurant. I have been staying at this hotel for a while. Their food is fresh and great quality for a lobby hotel restaurant. The wine list is short. But hood. I always have the Coast house salad light dressing. They can add salmon, shrimp, chicken or steak. They had flat breads. Appetizers. And every day they have different specials. They served Starbucks coffee. Their coffee is not available all day thou. Is always nice to be able to eat great food in your hotel after a long day of work. I appreciate that Hilton is upgrading their food and service options for guest. If around, give them a chance. Their prices are not high. Are reasonable for the quality of food you are getting. read more

This was close to the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. I worked in restaurants for years so I am usually more patient than most. In this case, there was no excuse for the poor service. When we arrived, we were one of 3 tables in the dining room. We ordered drinks and an appetizer and watched as the dining room slowly filled. 30 minutes later, we were able to place our food order. 30 minutes after that, we were still waiting for our food. Meanwhile, we watched 10 tables that were sealed after us get their meals AND leave. We spent almost 2 hours there and all we received was an apology and a lame excuse that the kitchen was short staffed and behind....at 7pm...on a Friday. read more
