We walked here for their happy hour We had $2 oysters, ordered a dozen $8 margarita $11 lobster and shrimp roll Everything was good. Services is outstanding The oysters were creamy. Which is not our favorite. Although they were fresh and tastrd good, the creaminess is really off putting It's just a personal preference read more

Came here for our parents anniversary, and had high hopes. I have heard ALOT on social media about their lobster summer special that was on for June/July.....they've apparently carried it over until Aug. We were excited from all of the reviews we've seen. However, here's our review unpaid. We ordered two of the summer specials, we got the lobster sushi rolls, and Louie salad for the appetizers. We ordered the caserrece pasta and lobster thermidor for the main entree. And we both got the panna cotta for dessert. We ordered an extra grilled octopus as an appetizer. The octopus came out and we joked that we couldn't find the octopus! There was some very hard maybe sweet potatoe that accompanied it, along with some tomatoes, but it was so chewy and terrible that we asked for just some grilled calamari. They took the plate away and said they'd bring our suggested calamari dish instead, when my husband said he'd keep the cutlery, they said no no, we will bring new cutlery. They didn't and so when the calamari came, we had to eat with our fingers. The calamari was tasty, but my mum n law swore that it could not have been real squid. It was super soft, almost like fish. I just pretend to not know! The lobster rolls, I really loved, very fresh and the lotus chip added a nice crunch. The main entrees were very yummy. I highly suggest the pasta, the thermidor wasn't as big as shown in the highlighted media videos you see on Instagram, so you probably won't get as much bang for your buck, but the pasta was yummy, buttery and tasted very good. I was very disappointed with the panna cotta, it tasted watered down and gritty to me, not smooth and punchy with flavour. All in all, it was not bad for the deal. We have had so many good dinners here.....so I won't make this a final judgement on overall experience. It might just be the night you show up. However, the last couple of times I've been here, not as impressed as I normally am. read more

Recommend! I'm sometimes leery of one-word named restaurants, especially when they're situated in the district with stores that specialize in $20,000.00 handbags, shoes with red soles, or shopping bags that are, themselves, status symbols of conspicuous spending. The food and service here were the best. Our little gang came by during happy hour and enjoyed $2 oysters and a smattering of apps and entrees. Everything was the highest quality. One of their sister restaurants is on the Michelin star track. We didn't exactly fit in, but were treated like we did. Our travel-weary group members were sweaty from doing tourism at Wifey's pace, dressed very casually, and had our "volume-challenged" ten year old along. Nobody seemed to mind at all. There were servers and staff coming by at exactly the right times for refills, add-ons, and generally fussing over us thoroughly. Inside is clean, a gorgeous bar and oyster station that must be seen to appreciate, and a really nice atmosphere. Best Caesar drink I've had and a really nice Caesar salad with thick bacon chonks. The totality of our group would like to return, perhaps when we're dressed for the occasion. read more

We went to Coast for their lobster menu and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The offered a couple options for appetizers, entrees and desserts, and we decided to try different things and share them. The service is top notch and the wait staff is fairly attentive. The restaurant was absolutely buzzing on a Wednesday. I liked the salad and the roll that we ordered for appetizers. I also enjoyed the lobster boil. I found the lobster thermidor a little too salty for my taste. I just wished they cut the claw slightly open for us as it did get messy. The butter cake was SO GOOD. If you like lobster, you should try this. read more

Two words: Lobster Sundays. Great experience: ambience was polished yet not formal; our meals exceeded expectations; and service from our personable server Bee provided warmth and charm throughout the evening. I selected the lobster Louie as an appetizer and lobster Thermidor as my main. The Louie was almost a meal in itself, replete with lightly dressed greens, perfectly ripe avocado and a jammy egg serving as a bed for the lobster pieces. The Thermidor provided a saucy, buttery backdrop for large, albeit slightly overcooked chunks of lobster. It was quite delicious. And although the warm banana cake sounded unexciting on the menu it turned out to be a sleeper, a winning combination of crisp/moist textures, and not too sweet. My husband chose from a different prix fixe menu and loved his beef carapaccio and lobster-prawn carbonara. I too enjoyed the bites I snuck when he wasn't looking. The prix fixe cheesecake was on the plain side, fluffy rather than dense; just not our favorite style. My lobster craving was fully satiated by the time we left. 4.5 stars for the food, with awesome service rounding it up to a solid 5 stars. read more

We love this place and often bring friends and family to enjoy the delicious food and cocktails.

We decided to go to Coast happy hour for their happy hour oysters. It was fairly busy but good it didnt feel crowded. We found out they also have their house wine bottles discount during happy hour as well With food, we tried the crab dip, prawns cocktail and mussels in additional to their oysters. We liked the oysters, not big but they are the flavor which i like. My favorite was the mussels, very decent sizes and the sauce was great complement to the mussels! The prawns were very good and textures were great too! However i did find the crab dip a bit heavy and mushy in texture. But overall, i had been to Coast in the past for both dinner and happy hour and the quality has been very consistent and the service has been great as well. Would definitely return read more

Came here for Dine Out with my Mom and boyfriend. My Mom got the clam chowder, steak with half lobster tail, and sticky toffee pudding. Both my boyfriend and I got the shrimp salad, sablefish, and sticky toffee pudding. There was only one dessert available and additional upgrades for an extra charge. My Mom really enjoyed the chowder and both my boyfriend and I liked the fresh shrimp salad - it was a good sized portion with big pieces of shrimp. The sablefish was cooked perfectly and came with a side of rice. It had this really terrific sauce that really made the dish sing! Both my boyfriend and I really enjoyed it and my Mom said the Steak with lobster was good. Sticky toffee pudding was decent. Wish there was another choice but it was what it was. We barely saw our server, he didn't seem interested in us as barely engaged in any conversation while chatting up various tables around us. However, the additional wait staff made up for it refilling our drinks, taking away our dishes, and checking in on us. Usually, the service here is solid but maybe it was a busy night and their service pivot is on the support staff instead of the primary server assigned to us. read more

I came in for dinner on a Monday night and I decided to try the Lobster Night menu. For the price point, it is such a fantastic deal. I started with the crispy lobster and prawn roll. The roll was crisp and tasty, and the plum vinegar was a nice accompaniment. I chose the lobster Thermidor. Both the lobster and hollandaise were flavourful. The warm banana and coconut cake was a nice end to the meal- not too sweet and had a nice texture. The stars of the night were the staff. They worked together to create a wonderful dining experience for me! read more

My husband and I saw a reel about your 3 course Lobster festival special on Instagram and decided to go there for our anniversary dinner. We were immediately and kindly greeted on arrival and escorted to our table. The hostess was so kind to place a lovely anniversary welcome card on our table which was so touching and set the tone for the evening. Blaine T, our server warmly introduced himself and was so helpful with our questions. He was very knowledgeable and his explanations were so informative. We loved the 3 course menus and tried one of the lobster special and coast set nenus. Our dinner from appetizers to dessert was so amazing. Kind and prompt service, amazing delicious food, and such a beautiful ambiance. Truly made our anniversary special. Our first time at Coast and definitely not our last. Thank you for a memorable dining experience. read more

We stopped by Coast today for a light snack and had a wonderful experience. The food and drinks were excellent, and the atmosphere was beautiful, relaxing, and inviting. Our waitress, Queenie, was absolutely amazing, friendly, attentive, and truly made the entire experience special. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we're coming back for dinner tomorrow night! Highly recommend Coast, it's definitely worth a visit, and be sure to ask for Queenie! read more

We had a reservation made for wifeys birthday. Greeted warmly by the hostess and promptly seated. Asked if we wished for patio or outside. Wifey wanted to dine in the interior. The decor was very modern and sleek. Comfortable and lively! We were given our menus and our server introduced herself and inquired about what beverages we wished for other than water(you have your choice of what type of water you want too). After perusing awhile we were good to order and wifey wanted to try two appies. The tuna tartare, and scallop crudo. For her main was sablefish and mine was the king salmon. Our drinks arrived and were made nicely. No skimping on the proper alcohol percent here. We were also asked if we wanted both appies at once or separately. We opted for at the same time. They were both lovely, the scallops were plated beautifully and were very fresh! The acidic taste of the sauce paired well with the delicateness of the scallops. The tuna tartare was tasty and served with taro chips. The taro chips were very crisp and served as a good vessel for the tuna physically. Taste wise, not my favorite. It wasn't bad but I felt something else would have been better paired with the tuna. Wife's sablefish was delicate, moist and delicious. She thought was a bit salty but I found it OK. It was served with soba noodles which imo were over done as they were very soft as compared to the firm texture I'm used to them being served like. My salmon was cooked pretty good! Crisp top and tasty(slightly less cook time and the fish would have been perfect) but overall decent! It was served with some gnocchi and sliced zucchini/ pickles. For dessert wifey got a seasonal dish, an orange pannacotta. Which was fresh on the palette and delicious. I ordered the warm banana and coconut butter cake with creme anglaise. This was also delicious! Warm cream, beautiful texture and fruits on top. Overall a wonderful dining experience and lovely server which did an excellent job! read more

My coworker and I went to Coast for happy hour after work. We didn't make a reservation but our group was pretty big (~15 people). They seated us in a room at the back. I appreciate that they gave us a space with more privacy, but the room's decor/lighting is quite different from other parts of the restaurant. The room feels like it's for a Chinese style family dinner instead of a HH with coworkers lol. They have quite a good selection of Happy Hour items, but it seems that there are no happy hour zero-proof drinks. I tried their $1.75@ oyster and mini lobster and prawn roll. The oysters were small but flavorful and fresh. Great for the price. The prawn and lobster salad on the roll was refreshing. The coleslaw on the side was alright. They made a good afterwork snack. read more

Same excellent service and management as Black and Blue, next door. We came at lunch time on Sunday, when it is also happy hour. What a great deal! Wines by the glass for $5, and great small plates. The sushi assortment was perfectly prepared, with a nice mixture of rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. The salmon flatbread was also notable, made with mascarpone instead of the usual feta or ricotta. Perfectly crisped crust. We'll definitely be back. Happy hour on weekdays starts early, at 2pm, and there is also a lobster dinner Sunday evenings. read more

I visit Coast on a quarterly basis for work lunches. It's always solid and I've never had any issues. Items range from not bad to excellent. Fish and Chips. Fresh fish with crispy and light batter. Seafood Linguine. Part of the $39 lunch menu (appee and entree) and this is probably my favorite item on that lunch special menu. Good amount of seafood and noodles are perfectly al dente. Salmon. This is part of the $39 lunch special menu and is an entree. My second favorite. Fish not overcooked with the skin that could be a bit more charred. Gnocchi were pillowy. Overall I felt it was just slightly under seasoned, but no real complaints. Burrata and tomatoes. You can add extra $8 to the $39 lunch menu for this entree. Fresh and delicious. Staff here are always wonderful and never any issues. read more

Some friends and I popped into Coast a couple weeks ago while visiting Vancouver from Seattle for the weekend. We were just wandering around downtown, not even looking for anything in particular, when my friend mentioned this restaurant with a really cool bar inside. We popped our heads inside and the friendly staff was enough to entice us to stay for a little while. We just had a few bites off the happy hour menu...oysters, truffle fries, bread and some drinks. They were all excellent food and the pricing wasn't bad, certainly not for the atmosphere you get with them. The staff was friendly, the food was wonderful, and the ambience was superb. What isn't to like? read more

Came by coast for a happy hour and highly recommend making a reso beforehand because it was sooo busy! Tried out a few of the menu items but unfortunately nothing was too impressive Mussels - some were not as fresh as others. Thai sauce was good but wish all mussels were fresher Wagyu carpaccio - it was ok, felt like there could have been more than 5 slices for the value but was pretty tasty Calamari - fresh squid and liked the sauce that it came with Crab dip - our fav of the night, very cheesy and tasty Raspberry cake - so pretty and tasted as good as it looked read more

Tried Coast for lunch and went with the Thursday special, the linguine vongole. Sat outside in their sectioned-off patio space by the road, which was nice. Service was friendly and attentive. The dish itself was just okay. the linguine lacked a bit of flavor and the clams seemed slightly undercooked. Was beautifully plated! Nothing bad, just not memorable. Solid 3 out of 5. Might go back to try something else, but not in a rush. read more

I love coming to Coast time and time again. Their happy hour menu and pricing is amazing. The staff, decor and location are fantastic. I just really enjoy being here because you can dine like a king without breaking the bank. Exceptional value and I love how the chefs try new things. Some things may not always work but you need to respect restaurants that are willing to take chances instead of staying with tired old menus. Servers are always super friendly and they have a great selection of wine. Lots of street parking and you can enjoy the most iconic Vancouver city views after your meal. Thank you Coast and Glowbal for always delivering an amazing dining experience. We will see you again soon! read more

Coast , Vancouver - what a lovely interior! Just as we stepped inside the restaurant, there was so much going on around us but the managers including the general manager was on the floor managing each and every table. Excellent service and kudos to ushers and servers for giving their best. Now let's talk about food. I just loved everything I ate there. Gnocchi was one of the best I have ever had. Tell me what not is on the menu.!! Everything from egg cone role as a starter to many such delicacies can be enjoyed here. Full course menu , entrees and deserts variety is huge. Drinks menu is full of fancy liquor options, red and white wine , cocktails and other selection. I must admit that I forgot the name of the red wine I had there was the best. read more

Coast is definitely a top tier spot. It's fine(r) dining, but also casual at the same time. My friend and I swung by for the happy hour oysters and learned they have buck-a-shuck oysters for a limited time on Friday & Saturdays only. We went to happy hour on a Sunday so we just missed it. Food was fantastic. Ambiance is also great. We chose to sit in the protected outside seating area. They had heat lamps on as well, so it wasn't cold at all. A couple negroni's later and we were feeling great. Our waitress was fantastic, and we would definitely recommend. Shrimp cocktail was superb. The shrimps were super fresh and the cocktail sauce was what you'd expect. Beef carpaccio was really my favorite. It was perfectly balanced with the capers and the bread crackers. Oysters were also very fresh. I would happily go again just for the oysters honestly. They were really fresh and sweet, and the mignonette Coast has is pretty tasty too! read more

Located near the hotel we were staying we wanted something that was near us and just as the previous reviews stated I wouldn't recommend coming. ***What we ordered **Brioche Bun (6/10) ~ The buns were baked pretty well, although there wasn't anything special about it. Although if you do order the calm chowder you should definitely get this on the side to eat it with **Calm Chowder (9/10) ~ This was the best thing that we ordered. The soup was seasoned perfectly, the calm was cooked nicely, and it had a nice creaminess. Highly recommend eating this with the bread. **Calamari (2/10) ~ This came out soggy and bland. Honestly it was a pretty big disappointment. Not sure how that happened... **Sablefish (3/10) ~ This was a disappointment. The fish was a little tough, the broth was nothing special, and the vegetables tasted okay. Honestly, for $45 CAD. This is not worth it AT ALL. Everything was just mediocre or overall sweet. Which I believe they possibly added too much mirin in their cooking. Overall, Service was okay, food was mid, and honestly you're paying for the ambiance. I would not recommend anyone to come here. It's super pricey for what you're getting. read more

Went here for dinner. I've seen posts on IG raving about the seafood, so I decided to try it. I got the $65 set meal with good selection of appetizers , entree and dessert. The mussels were in a wine sauce - prepared well and cleaned well. The oysters were fresh with good accompaniments. The lobster and shrimp carbonara was creamy, the shrimp and lobster were perfectly cooked. It also had a good ratio of protein to pasta. The Hokkaido Scallop with the Risotto - rice was al dente , saffron was pronounced and the scallops were perfectly seared. Dessert was good too! Overall a great visit. Service was good as our waiter was attentive to our needs and wants. Great intimate atmosphere too (at least where we were seated) read more

We came on a Friday night for happy hour. We made reservations but honestly they probably weren't necessary. We got the oysters ($1.5), beef carpaccio ($16), Moscow mule ($6), salmon flatbread ($15), truffle fries ($10) and espresso martini ($15) The oysters are definitely the most worth it on their happy hour menu. There's only a handful of places that do 1.50 or 1$ oysters and this is one of them. The salmon flatbread has been on their menu since I first started going to Coast back in 2012. It's almost a must order as the portion is big and they are generous on the smoked salmon. You can't go wrong with this dish. The beef carpaccio didn't come with enough slices of bread. They slice they beef really big so it's kind of hard to eat when placed on the crispy bread. I think they should cut it smaller so that when you bite into it the whole piece doesn't end up in your mouth all at once. Makes it hard to eat. Also a bit too much sauce. Wouldn't order again Truffle fries didn't have much truffle flavour but it was really crispy and well fried. Would order again Espresso martini was the dessert and maybe one of the highlights of the night. It was well made and pretty strong. Espresso flavour came through nicely. Would order again Overall their happy hour is a good deal and I love the setting here. Our server was really nice and friendly. Attended to our needs 100% of the time even before we knew we needed it. Maybe checked up on us a bit too much but that's to be expected. (First tipping amount if 20% FYI - but I think that's standard for most Global restaurants now). I would come back to try their mini lobster roll, calamari and mussels read more

I love Coast Restaurant. They have a wonderful fish & seafood menu. Their decor and interior design are modern and elegant without being too over-the-top or arrogant. If you are shopping on Robson and are hungry for seafood, then Coast Restaurant is a great option. They have lunch specials, happy hour, brunch, dinner, everything that you can think of. I recommend making a reservation though because they can get really busy. read more

Excellent service, we were seated immediately and the manager regularly checked on our table since the server was busy. For an upscale restaurant, it was very comfortable and unpretentious. My friend and I were happy with the wide selection of drinks and appies for happy hour: oysters: $1.50 oysters and they were very fresh. 2 fish & chip cones: the creaminess of the Japanese tartar sauce paired well with the crispy tempura cod. torched sablefish oshi: I was expecting a smoky and creamy taste, but the sablefish was so thin, all I could taste was rice with teriyaki sauce. It also kept falling apart. I wouldn't recommend this. 1/2 lb mussels: plump mussels in a delicious white wine broth. It was small since it's only half a lb, but I recommend. crab dip: this was our least favourite appie. There was more cream cheese than crab and it was very heavy. read more
