1st trip to Chicago, 3rd Coast breakfast was our first stop off the plane. Great food and service with a sense-of-humor helped shake off the jet lag. The veggie hash was a novel suprise and the veggie sandwich on gluten-free bread happily satisfied my celiac/vegan ball-and chain. Don't miss the carrot soup, either. Look forward to stopping back on next visit! read more

Imagine if Starbuck's and Denny's had a baby. The product of that happy union would undoubtedly be Third Coast Cafe. Right in the heart of the ritzy Gold Coast / Lincoln Park area, you wouldn't expect this little gem of a restaurant--with its plain, bordering on boring decor--to find its niche, but instead, it's always bopping. Live music in the evenings and a familial-acting, casually-dressed staff add to the relaxed ambience of the place. But that's not why you'e reading this review, so...on to the food! The breakfasts here are standard fare--potatoes O'Brien and eggs in every standard style. Where Third Coast really shines is in its sandwiches. Available in three types of bread, the sandwiches all come toasted a la grilled cheese. Of particular note are the Coronation Chicken Salad and the Smoked Turkey Brie. The Chicken Salad is a delicious number with moderate hints of curry mixed in with the raisins, apples, celery, and moist chunks of white chicken meat. Don't miss this place! read more

Dear the 3rd coast stuff - Thank you for the great service every time I come here for the Sunday brunch with my NYTimes... Alone... Thank you for no judging ... oh wait... there are plenty of solo brunch eaters here. I have no guilt... This place is kind of hidden, so there are not many crying babies, obnoxious bros/ladies, or clueless tourists. It's just a regular people eating respectfully. I like how they offer the choice of hash-browns and fresh fruit mix, and love the fact that the fruit mixes are actually fruit mixes like strawberries, bananas, pineapple, melon, etc. not "assorted grapes (green&purple)" or "assorted melons (orange & green)". Food is a typical diner style ...nothing too fancy but quite tasty! read more

There are so many new and fabulous brunch places opening every weekend, that I'm concerned for the Gold Coast's oldest cafe. In fact, I'm pretty sure a handful opened in the 45 minutes it took between ordering our eggs and them actually arriving. I was pleasantly surprised that there wasn't a wait for a table for two at 11AM on a Sunday. My out-of-towner friend and I came looking for eggs and bottomless coffee and weren't disappointed. However, we weren't wowed. I'm a fan of the innovative "classic" brunch--that means fruity pancake flights, potato "hashes," modern European pastries I've never heard of, etc. The sweet options on the menu seemed pretty classic and safe, although I was intrigued by the brie and banana liquor stuffed french toast. The savory options seemed more adventurous, although there were a variety of pretty standard omelet options. I chose the Lox Eggs Benedict which replaces hollandaise sauce with Salsa verde. I enjoyed the dish, but the salsa verde pretty much over-powered the lox. My friend ordered the veggie hash and was pleased with the variety and quantity of the vegetables. I love bragging about Chicago brunches to visitors and promising an unforgettable dining experience. At the end of the meal, my out-of-towner mentioned the fabulous bruch she had LAST TIME she visited. Taking her to a Chicago relic seemed like a good angle for a visitor, but history doesn't excuse a ridiculously long wait for the food, lackluster dishes, and a rather musty decor. Come into the 20th-Century Third Coast! read more

This place is divine. My boyfriend and I had breakfast here, and it was amazing. The only downside of it is lack of space. The tables are so close together and you can eavesdrop on neighboring conversations. The portions are too generous, but that's fine by me. I ordered over had eggs with bacon and hash browns. I chose the toast as my side. The coffee was really good that I actually had a second cup. My boyfriend ordered one of their omelets, and it was huge, but he enjoyed it. My dish was delicious! The eggs were cooked to my liking, although there was a part of it that was a bit yolky. The hash browns were amazing. The bacon was actually the best part of the meal. They were like bacon on steroids: thicker than average and probably 5x unhealthy, but I ate them all. Because it gets so crowded, the waiters/waitresses can't keep track of who needs refills on water, coffee, etc, so you'll have to flag on of them down if you need something. Overall, a good experience and great breakfast foods. read more

You know how rare it is to find a restaurant that you can take parents to for a early breakfast on a Saturday, your boyfriend to for a boozy Sunday brunch, or alone with a paper on a random Tuesday afternoon? 3rd Coast is all this...It's relaxed, unpretentious, and tasty food. I know, I know it IS located in the Gold Coast, but when 99% percent of us leave our pretensions at the door...Perfect! read more

I've been eating here for many years. I highly recommend eating here. Service sometimes suck but the food is very good.

Recently rediscovered Third Coast after a long hiatus from Chicago. Part cafe, part wine bar, part bistro, Third Coast is in a class of its own. Its one of a handful of "cafes" that truly takes its food seriously. The menu is both large and diverse. You can order anything from hummus to salads to pizzas. My personal favorite is the coronation chicken salad with its interesting yet tasty curry and raisin combination. Homemade baked goods are also very good including the carrot cake and scones. But food aside, the Third Coast is a great place to bring friends. Perhaps its the dimly lit room, comfy seats and plush carpeting, but for whatever reason, the later it is, the better the place gets, and the more engaging conversations become... read more

Utterly relaxing at night. A friend and I were looking for a place to chat around 10:30 p.m. on a Thursday night, close to the Clark and Division red line. Having been instantly repelled by the loud, bad music and grinning middle aged suits at "The Lodge", we were delighted to traipse over to 3rd Coast (I hadn't realized it was open that late) and cozy up to a booth in a corner of the restaurant which we had all to ourselves. Though you're below ground level the windows are tall and expansive, so you have a great sense being tucked away but still connected to the world outside. The lighting is bright without being harsh and music is tastefully chosen, in the background. We were both content with our beverages--a Peppermint Schnapps hot chocolate, hot apple cider, and a cocktail I can't remember.We didn't order food but there's plenty of it, as well as a good looking wine list. It would make an ideal option for a lateish dinner when you want something other than diner or fast food. (They do serve breakfast all day if you have that hankering though.) I'd been to 3rd Coast for a few Spanish language Meet Up groups and it's served the purpose very well, reasonable sound level, no problem splitting up checks, quick service. If I lived in the area I could also see this as a great place to go solo to read or work on a project. In sum: great multipurpose spot. read more

Third Coast has an old world appeal with the sunken dining room and warm rustic ambiance, you feel like it's winter in the middle of summer. The coffee is great, the atmosphere is chill and they have mouth watering alaskan king crab.. A great place to bring a book, enjoy a latte and not even realize where the day has gone. read more

This is a solid four star restaurant. I came here with my friend on a Wednesday afternoon. There were a couple tables occupied and we sat ourselves right away. I had the house omelet with a chocolate chip scone. Both were delicious. I never thought to serve a scone with whipped cream, but I'm sold. The only thing that kind of bothered me was the server. Yeah, he was the only server and he had a couple other tables to take care of, but I still don't think that's an excuse for rude behavior. We sat awhile before he brought over our menus and even then he just dropped them on the table without a word. When he came back all he said was, "ready?" Oh well, the great food made up for it. read more

I wish I had a neighborhood spot like this! Super friendly staff, great food, comfortable location, and a great wine list and full bar! I've only been in for breakfast and drinks, and I look forward to coming back many times! Definitely so much more than a cafe - a bistro that feels like home! The breakfast sandwich is great - will fill you for the day, and you may not even need dinner. Must have this with the thick cut bacon - perfectly crisped! read more

Great food for the price and an easy pick up from our condo. Highly recommend this for their menu

For those of you who are not familiar with the Great Lakes, the 3rd coast refers to them. You got your East Coast on the Atlantic, your West Coast on the Pacific, and the 3rd coast along the Great Lakes. Some claim that the 3rd coast refers to the Gulf Coast. Sorry y'all, but the earliest reference was a Milwaukee Mayor using it to attract business. He preferred it to the region being referred to as the Rust Belt. Anyway, now that the history lesson. Let's head to the other 3rd Coast; the one on Dearborn Street in Chicago. Every neighborhood has a "go to" spot. When I lived on the Gold Coast many years ago, it was Monday's on State or Mitchell's at North and Clark. They are gone and 3rd Coast has come along to take the honors. It's located on the corner of Goethe ("ger-tah" if you speak Chicago - or German, I assume) and Dearborn. It is just off of the lobby of an apartment building. When you enter, the first thing you may notice is the sizable adult beverage area with 2 dining rooms on either side of the bar/cashier; one up and one down. The décor is fairly non-descript, but not in an unattractive way. The walls are festooned with several dozen pieces of for sale artwork. Many are Chicago-centric, but I've yet to find one that would seem to go with the "3rd Coast" moniker (read: nautical themed). The menu is what I would describe as "current diner". Breakfast is served all day with nice spins on the classics. I really like the Chicago-style smoked polish sausage with eggs. While I'm not sure it meets my definition of "Chicago-style" it is very good. The split Smokey goodness plays wonderfully with an over-medium egg. Actually, I like the combo much more than bacon and eggs. The salads are generous. The Waldorf is one of my favorites; greens, apples, goat cheese and walnuts all work together to deliver a surprisingly satisfying lunch or lighter dinner. I've heard great things about the Kale/Quinoa and the Cobb salads as well. Although, I will admit, I've never had them because I am always distracted by... ...the Diablo tacos! Man, are they good. You get a full plate with soft corn tortillas each carefully loaded with ground beef, onions, cilantro, cabbage, and avocado. It also comes with this wonderful "medium" hot sauce. It's got to be house made because the color is not one that would be favored by commercial food marketers. The cabbage offers a nice crisp bite as the seasoned ground beef and onions bring a savory note and a bit of spice for the avocado to smooth over. I'm not an expert on Mexican street food, but this is actually fairly close to what I remember, right down to the squeeze of lime and NO CHEESE. I know, right? Sounds crazy, but my Mexican friends tell me the cheese on tacos is not as universal as Taco Bell would have us believe. The other really bright spots for this neo-diner are the burgers. In my experience, it really doesn't matter; the Baja, Malibu, Niece, Cajun, or 3rd Coast burgers are all worthy of a try. Fresh ground beef with just the right amount of fat is what makes these juicy-run-down-your-hand-but-not-your-arm yummy bombs. Hey! I eat here during the work day and my dress shirts have to remain presentable. So, I'm OK with a 3 on the messy-meter. Now, I will also tell you that I hear the scones are terrific. I've never had one, but several of my fellow Yelpers swear by them. So, there you go. I've also not experienced the place in the evening when it supposedly is more of a hip wine bar type of place. Not exactly my crowd, but I'm sure the dinner offerings are just as solid. The 3rd Coast is definitely NOT 3rd rate! read more

Adorable little local spot. Great service. We popped in for breakfast. started with a hot hot Apple cider. I had a hard time deciding between the veggie hash or the coconut oatmeal. Decided on the hash it was perfect! Crunchy, hot, lots of broccoli, runny eggs. Yumm They have gluten free and vegan options, locally sourced foods, organic ingredients. read more

My family and I will always hold a special place in our hearts for 3rd Coast Cafe in Chicago.  This restaurant is located about two blocks from the building where my elderly aunt lived for decades, and she ate there several times a week during all that time! In fact, I just took a moment and figured out that my aunt probably ate at 3rd Coast over 5,000 times before she died this week at the age of 97.  She also took us there when we visited her, and I mean EVERY time we visited her! We all loved the food, especially the full-meal salads and the fish.  We all loved the reasonable prices.  We all loved the portion sizes.  We all loved the seasoning.  We all loved the atmosphere.  My aunt was fond of the owner, Janet, although I myself have never met her. I really cannot say enough positive things about this neighborhood hub, which served as my aunt's dining room for 35 years and provided of years of delicious food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere for a lonely person.   Thank you so much, Janet and 3rd Coast Cafe. read more

I used to come here quite regularly when they were open til 3 or 4AM. But, it seems after the smoking ban they didn't get as much late night foot traffic and thus modified their hours. Oh, well. I still try to stop by whenever I'm in the neighborhood. This place is a cool place to hang out at any time of day -- for breakfast, for a coffee, for a late night glass of wine. The food is pretty good. It's nothing AMAZING, but it's decent for a cafe. Chill atmosphere, dim lighting. I recommend this place for just hanging out with a couple friends or if you have to study or read. read more

Surprisingly good food for this hidden spot, and no wait. Tried the BLT, hash browns, and blueberry scone. BLT and scone were pretty exceptional; hash browns were alright. read more

This place is a sneaky, cozy, lil gem. I met a friend for tea and coffee. My girlfriend had the best cappuccino of her life and I was treated to a large glass mug of tea. We did not eat anything but I will be going back soon and will definitly add more. This place is great for getting work done, breakfast, or a quickHere's the breakdown: Service: Attentive, knowledgeable and very sweet. Ready and willing to give advice and assistance. Ambiance: It has the full on diner feel. There were not too many people there when I went around 430pm but it began to fill around 530pm. Drinks: Excellent wine, tea, and coffee selection. Food: I did not order anything, but breakfast is served all day and they had typical American food. They also sold plenty of pastries. My girlfriend recommends the scones. Price: Very reasonable. The tea was $3 and the wine was $7-$9/ glass. Food was on average $10 more or less. read more

The greatest diner-ish spot in the Gold Coast; forever the go-to. Consistently great music (aka good Pandora stations)! Rotating featured artists. Affordable & good drink specials if you go during the week. Note: There is no wi-fi, so not the greatest place to get work done other than reading. read more

After reading all the good reviews we were looking forward to trying this place. However we had a very unpleasant experience. It was a weekday and It was not busy when we arrived but yet, it took 20mins for our server to come and took our order. (There was another lady came in later and got our server's attention quickly). Our server didn't seem happy with us, although we were being polite all the time. He came check with us once, ask if everything were ok and left before we can say anything. About food: the house omelet with hash browns were average. But the quinoa in the kale & quinoa salad were not fully cooked because I can see the white point in the middle of the quinoa & they were hard to chew. I didn't find anyone else has the problem so I guess it's just me. And I went through all the pictures on Yelp and didn't notice this problem occurred in others' pics. So yeah, I guess I'm the 'lucky one'. We didn't say anything at the restaurant because: 1. Our sever wasn't being so nice. 2. We were in a bit hurry and we already waited 20mins to place our order even though they were not that busy. Overall a very disappointed experience. read more

My go to for a relaxed evening with friends. excellent for conversation. I take all of my clients there for breakfast and lunch meetings because there is something for every taste from vegan to carnivore. I have also used their catering services for events. The wine selection is on point and I highly recommend the Cappucinni (Choc. martini with espresso) to wrap up a meal. read more

I came here after dinner for dessert and drinks, but apparently people come here for all sorts of reasons. I saw people eating dinner, studying, drinking coffee, having a meeting (at 11pm). It was cool that this place makes everyone feel comfortable like that.. The chocolate cake was OK, it was not warmed up so it was like eating a cold brownie. The raspberry chocolate port was different... in a good way. It was like drinking juice and eating a chocolate bar at the same time. I would drink it again. read more

How many cafes can be perfect for writing the great American novel, for an intimate chat with a friend or to practice Spanish with a large group of amigos? That's what 3rd Coast is. It's one of those places that I've been frequenting for just about forever, and for a Swiss Army Knife of reasons. On occasion, I look for places to work or to write, and that was the reason I originally went to the 3rd Coast, more than 10 years ago. In the mid-afternoon or on a weekday evening, it was often nice to sit down in a plush banquette on one side of the room or the other, and put a few words down while sipping a nice cappuccino. Later on, it was a great, conveniently located place on a relatively-quiet street to sip coffee or wine and catch up on the latest highs, lows and mediums of my friends. (Not that any of them gave good enough advice to truly be psychic mediums, but it was helpful nonetheless.) The room is relatively quiet, with most people respecting that ambiance. The food is good and simple. I often get something light--the grilled cheese sandwich is excellent; tonight I just had eggs with hash browns and sourdough toast, along with their very quaffable house red wine. Hash browns are one of those things where, if they're done perfectly, they are very crispy on the surface and very soft & chewy on the inside. In that case, if they are truly unhealthy for you, it is worth losing a few days off the end of my life for them. Tonight they were and, consequently, it was. Lately I go here many a Tuesday night, because there is a group that meets to practice speaking Spanish. The waiters at 3rd Coast are wonderfully accommodating (let me give a special shout-out to Sado, who always projects a good, mellow mood and is always helpful), They even give each of us separate checks, which is made easier by us wearing name tags for the event and leaving at different times, so everyone doesn't pile up at the register at once. read more

Had wine and dinner with a few friends on a Monday night. It was fairly empty so service was fast. Interior and decor remind me of an old speakeasy. It's lounge-y while still feeling like a nice restaurant. Wine and food selection are great including light options like salad and soup or heavier options like penne and chicken dishes. They even have several gluten free options too. Wine selection is decent too. After reading all the reviews, I know I will have to cone back for brunch. read more

This is long overdue... but I guarantee that nothing has changed between my dinner at 3rd Coast and this review. Progressive + Trendy are two words NOT affiliated with this joint. Warm + Cozy + Odd {in a good way} would better explain this vintage-y little spot. Things to love :: *Historic location + quiet "off the beaten Gold Coast path" location *You feel like you walked into a Denny's but then you realize it's 1000x better. *Pretty damn good food - it's usually frightening to see fancy schmancy small plates {think chevrine cheese fondue}, chopped salads, burgers, sammies, organic rib-eye, chicken marsala and breakfast-served-all-day listed on the same menu... but they pull it off with class, sans diner grease. Heck, with a table full of two vegetarians + one picky eater + a man that will eat anything... it was easy to find something for everyone. Thumbs up. Things that make you go hmm... *Wine bar? Really?? I think that's a little misleading. Don't get me wrong, these waiters know their wine. But a comprehensive wine list and knowledgeable servers do not make a wine bar. Especially when you have a full bar of top shelf liquor, PBR, and a complete espresso get-up that could put some corner coffee shops to shame. Things that make you want to come back for more :: *Adorable Orlando-Bloom-esque servers. Okay, okay, so our Southeastern European waiter from Montenegro was easy on the eyes... but he was also just really good at his job! Loved his unsolicited wine recommendations {"I think you should get this one instead... it's the same price, but it's so much better"}, his ability to not bat an eye when I asked for hot sauce with my salad, and the fact that when he came by to refill our water, he asked, "Do you guys want a shot?" And then he proceeded to concoct a round of shooters he'd been whipping up for the past couple of days. If there is ever a place that's perfect for geriatric couples + midweek GNOs + low-key date nights, then it's 3rd Coast. There's something for everyone. read more

The 3rd Coast is a comfortable little neighborhood spot. It is very unassuming, situated below a high rise apartment building. They have some nice artwork for sale on the walls, which changes frequently. Props to supporting local artists. I really like the Coronation Chicken Salad (with mango chutney, raisins, peas and apples) and Grilled Cheese (with tomato and bacon). They also have a very reasonably priced wine menu, perfect for a low-key, after-work meal. This is one of those places that you go to over and over again when you don't feel like trying something new or trekking anywhere far away. Its definitely a favorite of mine. read more

I have been here 3 times, and the first 2 were very good, the 3rd was very bad. My date sent her breakfast back twice. At first it was over cooked, then so far under it was not safe to even try it. They did some gifting on the bill, but they have to figure out some things before I go back for trip #4. Try the omelets they don't get these wrong from my experiences, but not the benedict and not the Chilaquiles, definitely not the Chilaquiles... Service was a bit slow after the meals were served but they did more once they realized things were going poorly. A for effort after the fact is not an A. Worth keeping on the medium list but other places to re visit first... read more

I come here a couple times a month specifically for the short stack of blueberry pancakes, good coffee, and real bacon - the thick, chewy, meaty, non-greasy kind. Yummy. I like the fact they're open late and let you linger over your coffee, instead of rushing you out the door as soon as you set down your fork like some other places do. read more

The 3rd Coast is... 1/3 coffee shop 1/3 family diner 1/3 creative escape It's also 100% old-school Chicago. And, there's not many of these great undercover spots left in the city. It's authentic, quiet and creative. My fondest memories at The 3rd Coast are catching up with old friends over Sunday brunch or sitting at a corner table all alone - trying to break my writers block and jot down something inspiring over a hot cup of coffee. Check it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Meh. With so many good brunch places around, this one just lacks character. It isn't bad or anything, just a teeny weeny bit 'boring'... The food as so-so. The waiter was a little too weird and made some ill timed attempts at sarcastic humor which were lost on us. The stuffed french toast that everyone raves about was a little too savory for my taste and I was quite disappointed as it had so much potential. read more

I'd say 4.5, I need to chill on my 5 star reviews. I just moved to the neighborhood a few weeks ago...LOVE it btw, and this is already one of my go-to's. I work crazy, odd hours, and love their 12 am closing time. I'm notorious for dining alone, but also need somewhere to take my daughter, or God forbid a date these days. This place can accommodate all 3. Its not the most stylish restaurant by any means, but charming. And you'll never feel like a douche dining alone. (Who does is a weirdo anyway. We are all adults and need to eat) I'm NOT a breakfast fan, so I can't comment on that, but their Asian noodle soup is amazing. I could eat soup everyday, and am picky about it, and this is great. Quesadillas are good, and my daughter loves the meatballs. I can't comment on the recognition of regulars. I've been about 10 times in 6 weeks and haven't gotten that super friendly vibe I get at Mario's. But I'll keep coming back. read more

I often come here, as I live in the building, and its warm, cozy ambiance is irresistible during freezing Chicago winters. While this place is not cutting-edge hip by any means and gets really crowded on weekends, the food is great (especially breakfast and lunch). Among my favorites, grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and tomato, crab cake eggs benedict, and a Caesar salad. Service can be slow on weekend mornings, but still good compared to some other brunch places in the city. read more

A weekday morning here usually sees lots of single diners eating very far apart...but it works here. With long hours, casual service, and a wide range of fare (breakfast always, cocktails, nice wine selection, great sandwiches), 3rd Coast is perfect for those times when you want to eat alone (or with others - it's ok!) and hide out at a nicely incognito location. Have visiting relatives staying in the Gold Coast? Take them to breakfast here. Shopping up Oak and Rush to State and want to sit and have a cappucino? 3rd Coast has a variety of coffee drinks and signature scones. However, I have to recommend getting fruit instead of potatoes with breakfast because otherwise it gets to be way too filling. AndI only wish they had a greater variety of omelets. read more

I knew we made the right restaurant choice when every other customer was a regular (known by all servers). Breakfast here on Sunday morning was great...coffee, food, service. Eggs Benedict, great. French Toast (both sourdough & cinnamon raisin), excellent. Blueberry pancakes, great. Really! If I had to criticize anything, it would be the hash browns; they were greasy. Ladies...added bonus...the full length mirror in the ladies room was flattering ;-) read more

I love this place; mainly because of how many purposes it has served for me. I've come to The 3rd Coast for morning coffee, lunch, dinner, wine, and a combination of the latter two mixed with some research/reading and work because they have free WiFi! I actually haven't gone in for just brunch, which is something they're known for also. My favorite thing is coming here between 8 and 11 on any random night, ordering a glass of wine, grabbing some dinner, and doing a bit of work. The service is always great, the music selection is right up my alley (light and ambient electronic many times), and the food is always good. Five stars for third coast for not only executing one food and beverage vertical, but many. read more

It would be easy enough, if not understandable, to mistake 3rd Coast Cafe for a strictly formal Gold Coast posh spot. The atmosphere, not to mention location at the swank intersection of Dearborn and Goethe, are certainly enough to suggest a decidedly high-end experience. But while 3CC may attract an upper-class clientele, it also provides a surprisingly relaxed, casual atmosphere -- one that may not become apparent until seated. The menu varies, covering a wide range of entries and appetizers. For those looking for a light meal, the grilled cheese is bar-none the best in Chicago; you'd swear it was grilled in sunshine, not better. Those arriving with a more serious hunger will obviously be looking for something more substantial, which is where the spicy penne pasta with chicken comes in. Add bacon bits for over the top flavor -- provided you don't have a heart condition. And top the whole thing off with a massive, multi-scoop brownie sundae, with non-traditional sundae scoops of mint and coffee ice cream. Given the quality and portions of their servings, 3rd Coast can come across on the more expensive side. Luckily, every bite is worth it. And you'd be hard pressed to find a more inviting location in the entire Gold Coast. read more

If you're looking for local businesses to support during this time, I can't recommend 3rd Coast Cafe enough. I've been coming here for years and they never disappoint. Delicious breakfast staples - omelettes, fresh scones and pancakes - and a great lunch/dinner selection. Aside from the quality food and friendly staff, there's something special about the ambiance that I can't do justice through a review. They've stayed true to their vision over the years and that consistency is why they've remained one of my favorite spots in the city. It's charming, quaint, and the perfect place to catch up with friends or just enjoy a solo cup of coffee. 3rd Coast is a neighborhood gem that's been serving the community for over two decades, and hopefully for many years to come. read more

Nothing but 5 stars all around for 3rd coast. Service, 5 stars, food 5 stars, location 5 stars, ambiance 5 stars. Been coming here for 8+ years as I live in the neighborhood. I don't know how they do it but they always do it perfect, huge shout out to all the staff, both FOH and BOH, Marlene and Silvia are rock stars. I work in restaurants myself and always recommend to my guests that they check out 3rd coast, have never been disappointed coming here. This place doesn't deserve a single negative review. read more
