    I’ve been eating at Coastal Grill since 1989 and it’s been consistently fabulous! If I owned a restaurant, this one would make me so proud. So good! Such a wonderful escape into gastronomy.

    We arrived alittle early but had reservations. It was for a birthday. From the hostess to the waiter, they were so polite and went out of the way to make us feel so welcome . All of the food from appetizer, main course, special drinks and dessert was outstanding. We have been going there for years. Great place and will always return.

    Overall great experience! Our server (from Poland) was wonderful. All of our orders came out fast and we were very hungry! We had been stuck in traffic for an extra 30 minutes enroute. All of our food was up to Coastal's standards! Thank you!

    As usual Adam was great & we appreciated Jonal stopping by to say hello. Decided on the fresh homemade mozzarella tomato appetizer instead of our usual wilted Bibb - it was fantastic! I always think I'm going to try something different, but I revert to my usual - scallops, the preparation & quality of the food is unbeatable! Looking forward to our next visit!

    One of the best meals I have had in Virginia Beach. The service was great! The staff was very friendly and the food was great. Best Soft Shell Crap I ever had. I highly recommend Costal Grill.
