We recently visited Coast Seafood Grill and were happy to find it. The restaurant sort of stands…read moreout in a shopping center that looks rather vacant and dated, but Coast is new and fresh looking. You really have to look for it to find it, so keep your eyes open!
We were warmly greeted on a Friday night and seated right away. Ladies, bring a sweater as the A/C works really well inside and my wife immediately started shivering, but I always keep a sweater in the car for her, so she was happy.
Our server, isiah, was fantastic. Super friendly, very responsive, and very nice. He is a huge asset to the restaurant, in our opinion.
My food was good- I had the Ahi Tuna bowl, which was plenty of food, and the tuna was cooked as I like it- rare. I would ask for less ginger next time as there was a lot in the bowl and I took most of it out. Still, an excellent dish that is more filling than it looks.
My wife doesn't like seafood, so she ordered the chicken marsala, which, in both our opinions, either needs to be removed from the menu or reworked completely. The marsala sauce had absolutely no taste- at all. My wife made the remark that she felt like this dish would be served in a old folks home. My wife asked for pasta with it instead of vegetables, and she should have stuck with the veggies, because the linguine was WAY overcooked, and again, no salt or anything- it did taste like the noodles you get in canned soup.
Again, I think this dish should be reevaluated, but it won't stop us from coming back because there is so much potential here and I saw quite a few dishes I want to try and the desserts look good, too.
The staff is great and the menu looks really good, so we're going to keep coming back in the hopes that my wife finds a dish she likes, because I know I will be happy with my food. By the way, I am not as picky as my wife, and I tasted her food and she was absolutely right about it.
