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.

    Celebrated our anniversary and Sara our server was fantastic. Apps, entrees, dessert, and wine were all excellent. Sara and CG went out of their way to help us enjoy our special evening. Thank you. CG remains one of our favorite eateries.

    Food, service and ambiance were all top shelf! Only issue, they failed to credit my Open Table account with the 100 points since I reserved the table on OT!

    Coastal Grill is always a great option for a night out. I’m never disappointed by the food, but I’m never blown away either. The service is always top notch, and it has a fantastic atmosphere, but I don’t think that justifies the price. 4/5 stars because I think the prices could come down a little, but ultimately a great experience and reliably good food and service.

    There were no handicap parking spots available and the valet parking attendant would not move a cone blocking the closest parking spot available. The spot was only 20 feet from my car was was instead told to park in any other spot further away. I did not feel the need for someone to drive my car for 20 feet to valet park it. Valet is for parking cars when it is a farther distant for people to walk. Not a nice thing to do to a handicapped person. He should have opened the valet spot for a handicapped person since valet parking is optional there. The food was Very good and the wait staff were great.
