    This Mexican restaurant is the real deal. We were the only gringos eating there when we stopped in for lunch. Language wasn't a problem with our server, but knowing some Spanish didn't hurt. The menu is large. After we ordered, we saw a number of items I'd like to try in the future -- like their shrimp "cocktail" and their seafood soup. My husband got two beef tacos and a side of rice and beans. I got shrimp tacos with a side of plantains. But first we were given chips and salsa. The chips were addictive -- flat round ones. The green salsa had a peppery base and was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband liked it. And then a complimentary taste of their ceviche -- which was absolutely wonderful. The beef tacos had bits of steak in it. Along with cilantro and red onions. A hot sauce came on the side. The red beans were slightly seasoned and came over white rice. My husband added extra hot sauce to the beans. My shrimp tacos -- there's two to an order -- came each with two soft tacos layered one on the other. There were red and green peppers and onions as well. The only thing I'd eliminate was the mayonnaise (!)... My plantains were not the sweet ones, but the starchy ones. They were some of the best I've ever had. Similar to tostadas, but you could see the individual slices of "banana" so not as mashed together. And they were perfectly cooked. Just as a funny note: I'd asked if they had any salsa that was milder ("suave"), as in gringo style. She looked at me and said, "No. This IS a Mexican restaurant!" Come here for authentic cuisine -- and I don't mean Tex-Mex -- and you won't regret it.

The chocolate bread pudding for dessert was also quite good. The owner/chef and her son took great care of us. Nice ambience - we will be back!

You have a special bottle or beer you like, just bring it. They will keep it chilled for you. Forgot your bottle? Go steps away and get your choice. Now for the food: Each of us had the FRESHLY caught items, from lobster roll, shrimp/scallop special, and the huge red snapper with risotto. We had to take some portions home, Everything was so tasty. The service was over-the-top and attentive. Very knowledgeable and helpful with our selections. Coastal is an intimate dining venue, it is small, so it is wise to have reservations. Located on J-Street next to the famous Rudy's, it is very easy to miss. So happy we finally got a chance to visit Coastal. I love their menu selections, fresh seafood, and great service.

They put together a veggie boil which had potatoes corn and broccoli with garlic butter and seasoning. The table tried mozzarella sticks, fries, onion rings, and hush puppies as well. The rest of the table indulged. My niece got the king crab kings which was listed as market price. You can only a pound, not a half pound. This was $100, but was enjoyed. On weekends they have a special of 1/2lb of shrimp, 1/2lb of snow crab legs and one lobster. A few people opted for this and enjoyed it. Restaurant has a causal vibe. Nothing fancy but still a splurge. Party of 8 and the hill was under $400 when with an order of king crab legs. Definitely worth the price. Plus they allowed us to bring a special birthday cake for the birthday girl and even sang to her. Hannah provided great service the entire night!

Her customer service was exceptional, and you could tell she genuinely cared that everyone had a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the portion sizes were just right. We also loved the warm, family-friendly atmosphere--it made us feel right at home. We can't wait to come back. Highly recommend!

This is special, he is only able to eat after receiving steroids with the chemo dose which allows his tumors to open up enough to get solid food past the obstructions. We sat at the bar as we have done a couple of times with his previous infusions. He asked for a chicken breast since he has cancer and is not able to eat much. Explained that he's had the kids portion previously. The bartender rudely replied, "we don't have a chicken breast on the kids menu" and proceeded to curtly list the items on the kids menu insinuating that my husband is a liar and there is no other option aside from "the entree". As a nurse of 33 years I am sickened and appalled that my clearly sick husband would be treated this way by anyone. Have a great day yourself Charlie. I won't be back EVER, especially after my husband's inevitable and impending death. Anyone who has a loved one that is ill and trying to live with their illness should never step foot in this place.

    Excellent service from Sisco Excellent food from the kitchen…read more Excellent drinks from the bar. What more to say? The greeting from our server set the tone and standard for the evening. The lobster appetizer was phenomenal. The chicken oysters, I personally don't see the hype there but the potato served with them is both the crispiest and the softest potato I've ever eaten. The short rib entree with mole sauce was as tender and flavorful as can be. The local jerk swordfish was cooked perfectly and everything on that plate together created wonderful bites. Cornbread dessert was my choice, I love cornbread and that hit the mark with the blueberry compote and ice cream. One nitpick, and this is absolutely a nitpick. The string lights that hang down the wall to the tables are filthy. So dirty they looked like twine rope. Now that didn't change my experience or make me question the cleanliness of the kitchen at all. That food was perfect. And I wouldn't lower my rating .1 because of it I would go back to driftwood more frequently if my schedule fit their hours better, this place is top notch. Make your reso and enjoy We had 4 cocktails, 2 apps, 2 entrees, 1 dessert. Shared everything. Bill with gratuity was about $270. It was worth every penny.

We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to look over the menu before ordering. We started with the Steak Tartare, served with beer-battered smoked onion petals, truffle, egg yolk, and manchego. It was excellent and one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the Za'atar Roasted Local Vegetables with spicy greens, feta tzatziki, lime pickles, and pepitas. It was good, but it wasn't my favorite dish. For our entrées, one person ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese with pork and beef ragu, housemade raw milk ricotta, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. It was rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. We also ordered the Jerk Local Swordfish from Fort Lauderdale with braised Swiss chard, local radish escovitch, and jackfruit miso beurre blanc. While the swordfish itself was cooked well, I wasn't a fan of the jerk seasoning. The flounder, however, was outstanding and probably my favorite entrée. To drink, I had the Les Fumées Blanches Orange Sauvignon Blanc, which I really enjoyed. Someone else had an Old Fashioned. For dessert, we shared the Affogato with mascarpone ice cream, dark chocolate, and espresso, and it was a perfect ending to the meal. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and we appreciated being able to enjoy our meal at a relaxed pace. It is on the pricey side, but that's fairly typical for a farm-to-table restaurant using quality ingredients. There's a small parking lot behind the restaurant, and we were lucky enough to grab a spot. Overall, it's a fun place for a date night or a nice dinner with family. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. Or if you want, they have a great bar and you can hang out there and have a bite.
