   First time for Sunday Brunch for us and Coast 236 did not disappoint! Very nice, varied menu and dishes were beautifully served. Our server, Matt, was very attentive, friendly and fun. He is a keeper! We have dined at Coast on several dinner occasions and once again, chef did a beautiful job with brunch. So glad you are open in the winter!

   For New Years Eve we chose the tasting menu once again and were not disappointed; it included lobster and tenderloin. The other courses were delicious as well using wonderful food blends for flavoring, and gluten free!

    The overall experience was disappointing. The food was just, OK but the atmosphere was so loud I had difficulty having a conversation with the person setting at my own table. In my opinion, the price was worth the value.

    This is a very sophisticated spot in rustic Saugatuck. We had the set 6 course dinner with wine pairings...truly memorable. Service people were knowledgeable but not stuffy. We highly recommend Coast 236.

    We drove 45 miles simply to experience this wonderful restaurant again. It did not disappoint. Greeted at the door, escorted to our table, and our server arrived almost immediately just to make sure we were okay. Fabulous drinks, amazing appetizer (Tuna Crudo), and our entrees were spot on once again. Dessert of ricotta with spiced apples and a drizzle of honey was simplistic but nuanced. Perfect end to our meal. Smiled as we walked through town and on our way home. Thank you Coast 236! See you again soon!

    A huge improvement over the past iteration. I had the Wahoo and would have preferred it to be more rare - but I know that most people like it that way. Nonetheless, it was kind of dry and a sauce would have been appreciated. Also, the coconut gelato was kind of boring - which is fine - but the diced apples were also kind of boring. Maybe caramelize them? All of the food (even these minor observations) was outstanding. The waiter was excellent and the ambience was pleasant (we were overlooking the courtyard). Minor criticisms - it was a very nice evening. Thank you!

    My husband and I both treated ourselves to the tasting menu and wine pairing. Each dish was fabulous and it was the perfect amount of food, we were both hungry. The wines were all very different and were perfectly paired to each course. Our waitress was very friendly and gave just the right amount of attention. It was just a fabulous dinner and experience! Highly, highly recommend!

    After reading the reviews we were looking forward to dining at Coast 236. The rear dining room adjacent to the patio was distractingly loud. Our server, when asked, did not explain the selections accurately. The food was over-salted.

    This was simply the best meal I have had this year. Hats off to the chef and their entire team. The moment you arrive you are greeted by a friendly staff member welcoming you into the restaurant. I was seated in the main dining room where the noise level was surprisingly low. We had no issues having a conversation. What the chef has created as a menu is masterful. The tuna crudo, lamb, and risotto were 1st rate. The flavors were so well balanced in the risotto. I would return just for that dish. As for the mains, it has been a long time since I enjoyed a pork belly dish as much as what they have created. There may not be a better fall dish on the planet. Smokey, savory, sweet, and satisfying. To top it off and should not be understated, their emphasis on sustainability is so refreshing. I eat far less meat these days but knowing how much effort went into ensuring what was served was humanely treated and sustainably sourced makes this restaurant levels above anything else. They just get it and have hit a homerun with the entire package. Very, very well done.

    A bit underwhelming. We were seated at a lone random table in the bar area so zero ambience. Ordered the tasting menu which was average at best - felt like they jumped on the tasting menu wagon without understanding how to do it well. Three of the 5 dishes used a single fingerling potato as it’s base - unimaginative. Two of the plates were tasty, the rest were hmmm. Dessert was mediocre at best. Wine pairing was just odd. One of the servers brought a dish to the table and said ‘there you go’ - when asked what it was she offered to get the menu for us so we could see for ourselves. Perhaps if we were seated in the dining area, didn’t order the tasting menu and had a trained staff member it would have been great!
