    We started with incredible drinks - an old fashioned and a peach mule. We went with the crap dip appetizer and at the suggestion on our server Chloe we had half bread and half chips. A marvelous suggestion. The dip was incredible and the contrasting bases to put it on was spot on. My husband had the Spicy Shrimp Kabobs and I had the catch of the day which was red drum. Both were fabulous. Chloe was an outstanding server. We highly recommend the Coast Bar & Grill.

    Our reservation was at 6:15 and we were out of the restaurant at 7:05. A little rushed. Everything was too quick and the alcohol servings were skimpy

    Immature staff, terrible food. Hostess was very nice as was the restaurant manager. Server and kid seating us were immature and not polished for food service. For what we paid for dinner I would expect a better quality of both food and service. Bathrooms were also unkept and dirty

    Coast is always at the top of our list when we visit Charleston! Love the vibe and the food + service are always excellent. The coast crab dip is delicious!

    Great food and service, but extremely loud, and $60 for 3 small glasses of wine with the tip is a bit steep.

    The meal was superb. I had the catch of the day, a local fish. I would definitely order it again. They do need to work on their banana split.

    Good food. Decent wine and drinks list. Portions were large, Spouse had the fried seafood and I had the jambalaya- spicy but not overbearing. Server was attentive without being overbearing. Evening Manager stopped by to check on us- nice touch!
