Classic, consistent, upscale cuisine is offered in a well-appointed, unpretentious setting in this top-notch nosherie. The beautiful bar invites easy conversation and casual dining. Located on the affluent Great Neck corridor in Virginia Beach, just three miles from the Oceanfront, Coastal Grill is as famous for what isn't on the menu as for what actually is.

This locals favorite has received critical acclaim since its inception over 25 years ago, culminating in being voted the Number 1 Restaurant by Hampton Roads Magazine. With amazing food and exemplary service, Coastal Grill is a sure bet for business dinners, special occasions, or simply unwinding after a hard day. Come celebrate with us!

Food was excellent as usual. Maybe I haven’t looked at my bill close enough over the past year, but they’ve added a $5 charge to split the Bibb salad and 7.50 for a decaf cappuccino that was 3/4 foamed milk. Come on!!

Once we were moved from the table in the center of the room near the entrance, we had a lovely evening at the side table with the bench. No couple is comfortable at the table in the center. That table should only seat at least 4 or be rearranged to eliminate.

Normally food is very good, but last night i ordered the flounder special and it was over cooked and dry. Needed tartar sauce to eat it. Sides and desserts were excellent. I would go back, but order something different.

Always great food and service! Can't go wrong with anything you choose on the menu....and if Adam is your server, you will have a perfect dining experience. Prices have gone up, but still worth it. Only recommendation: Wish they'd bring back the Yuccatan Medley and the Wilted Spinach Salad with Chicken Livers!

Food was exceptional. Our server Liz was wonderful and made good suggestions. The lamb entree was cooked perfectly. We enjoyed a wonderful shrimp appetizer that was a special for the evening. Very nice ambiance. A wonderful experience. We were visiting from out of town and this was our best meal. We will definitely return.

First time ever that I was disappointed in our dinner. Appetizers of fried shrimp & soft shell crab were good but the dinner entrees definitely left something to be desired. Two of us ordered flounder, one fried & one sautéed. It had skin on which was a turn off & was usually thick to be flounder. It had none of the delicate flavor & appearance of flounder. Very disappointing.

We had a really wonderful experience at the Coastal Grill! The food was excellent, the menu had an impressive breadth of options for all courses. Our table was very satisfied with the food and the attentiveness of the staff. The service was very fast, orders taken quickly and courses delivered surprisingly fast. We actually felt rushed and wound have preferred a slower pace of food delivery to the table - time to enjoy one another and the place.
