    Swordfish so dry it was inedible. Fish tacos soggy mess. Did not taste shrimp and grits but looked liked way too much gravy. Server not very friendly. Coast was one out favorites in CHS but will no longer recommend. And we are locals. Disappointing evening for us to take visitors.

    Service was fast but they were out of so many things. It was disappointing for an early dinner reservation on a Friday night. Food was good but starting off with your server saying “we are out of that” over and over was an unfortunate start to the experience. I would assume you would be more prepared for a busy Friday night!

    Our server appeared easily distracted or just forgetful. He left dirty plates on the table for more that ten minutes. He did stop by to ask if everything was okay. One person asked for a glass of wine with her dessert. several minutes later (with dirty dishes on the table) he came by to inform us that the wine was being poured. The food runner brought the desserts and when asked about the wine said that our server would be right out with it. (dirty dishes still on the table) We asked her (when she was about to turn and walk away), to take the dirty dishes from our dinner. After finishing our desserts... the server came with the wine. We sent it back. We will return as we have normally had a great experience there. We live locally.

    Ooof. I've been to this place many times, and each time it seems to be getting worse. The salmon and steak we ordered came out charred to death and overcooked. Both of our plates were painfully obvious that they were overcooked before we took our first bite. I'm assuming the chef is blind, apathetic, and not tasting their food. Each bite tasted like charcoal. On our way out we saw the chef burning more food. We stopped by the gas station to get a pack of M&M's to get the burnt taste out of our mouths. Charleston has WAAAAYY too many amazing food options for me to ever come back. Sorry, Coast.

    Food was delicious! Ordered the catch of the day with Red Rice and Julienne Veggies—so good—fish perfectly cooked, rice deliciously smoky, and veggies the right amount of Al dente and not soggy. My husband had the Swordfish Lowland style, and it was also very good. Add an extra side of hush puppies!! Drinks were fine, not the best cocktails ever, but fine. Overall wonderful experience, next time I’d get wine instead.

    Food was fair. Upon arrival, the cloth napkins appeared to be dirty. Later, I went to the ladies restroom and when I went to wash my hands, there was no soap in either dispenser. I said something to the hostess immediately assuming it would be addressed quickly but it was not. This is alarming considering staff would be using the restroom and exiting without washing properly. I did notify a manager.

    I ordered the chicken jerk salad and it was delish but it only had 8 tiny cut up pieces of chicken. It was not even a 1/4 of a chicken breast. Very disappointing.

    Food was fresh and delicious! Shrimp cocktail was perfectly cooked and seasoned - not overdone. Fabulous hot crab dip, and the blackened swordfish and fried shrimp with hand cut fries were some of the best I’ve had! Service was attentive and efficient. Overall excellent experience! Our favorite seafood restaurant in Charleston.

    Had a reservation and catagorized it as a date night, arrived before the time, but the initial table given was close to where the servers hustle it would have been less than romantic. We asked for a better spot and we’re offered one in the middle of the room, again not very private. When I asked about the 2 seater booth, I was informed that was reserved. Well I had made a reservation as well so did not understand why the difference in reservations. We finally did get a table by the wall which was less noisy and more private. Our server Terri was great. So ambiance not the best but food and server was nice.

    The blackened swordfish and jalapeño cornbread was outstanding. The seafood fettuccine was good but lacked flavor. Our server, Kion, was helpful and knowledgeable in telling us about Charleston experiences we might enjoy. We felt well attended to and had a wonderful dinner.

    Horrible food. Waiter was polite but never came back to see if we enjoyed the food. Had he made his way back we would of returned the food. WE DID NOT ENJOY IT. if you order Caesar salad, you will get 2 pieces of romaine and 1 pound of cheese. It appears as if the bag of shredded cheese fell onto the salad. The plates were also dirty on the bottom. Croutons were stale. Seafood fettuccine was inedible. Lacked seasoning, salt or anything that resembles flavor. The sauce was deemed disgusting by everyone at the table. Paying for that meal felt like a violation. Hostesses were also slow, hanging out on their phones watching videos and not very friendly. Will never go back!

    Funky and eclectic! You watch if you sit in community seating as they shuck your oysters and make your amazing food. We had the raw oyster Rappahannock appetizer then the threesome fried platter of fried oysters, shrimp and flounder. Soooo delish. Perfectly presented and cooked. We were hosted by Vincent at the bar. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    This is a great place for families! Good selection of items on the menu. Very reasonably priced. I have never had bad service. I have a young grandson and when he and his parents are in town visiting we go to Coast at least once for dinner. I request a certain table and my request has always been granted!
