   An area favorite, especially for their brunch❣️ Menu had a wonderful selection of breakfast and lunch items and many “specialties.😋 Service was great and server was helpful and attentive! Indoor and outdoor seating available. The Crabcake Benedict with avocado was delicious.😋 Another appreciated feature is valet covered parking for your car❣️ A great choice for any occasion😍

   There was no mention of a mandatory Prix Fixe menu on Christmas Day which was extremely disappointing, especially as someone with medical food restrictions. We stayed because there were so few restaurants open. The food was extremely mediocre especially given the $145 prix fixe price. I won't go back.

   This was my third or fourth time at Coast and Olive and despite excellent service the food was an utter disappointment. It’s hard to believe a chef would do this but my chicken parmigiana was literally burnt and they tried to hide it with sauce and served it to me anyway. I didn’t want to complain at the time and in front of my guests but this was terrible and unacceptable. There is no way the chef didn’t know that I was served burnt food. The amount one pays here means this kind of thing should never happen. I would carefully audit the methodology of the kitchen team from that night.

   The grilled chicken parmesan was tasteless - like boiled chicken. It was covered with a layer of tasteless cheese and a couple of slices of tomato that produced a watery mess. Our table was a few tables away from the door, but the cold draft every time the door opened was quite unpleasant. The food was about room temperature when it arrived, and quickly turned cold.

   Food was delicious. They overbooked, and despite reservation for our anniversary dinner, we had to wait. They did buy us a round of drinks though. Everything was very nice, except the noise level.

    Came here for dinner tonight to celebrate my grandpa's birthday. I booked an inside table as I knew it would be quite chilly on the patio, when we arrived the hostess told us there were no inside tables. We were quite confused and frustrated as we specifically reserved an inside table. For our drinks, I order the Syrah and my mother ordered a vodka soda. However, we both tasted it and there seemed to be no vodka in the drink. For our appetizers we ordered the brussels sprouts and the tempura cauliflower, both were excellent. For our entrees, I ordered the chicken kale salad and my sister and mother ordered the chicken cobb. Both were okay. Mine was missing three main ingredients---bacon, red onion, and goat cheese. Their's was missing red onion. The cornbread croutons were also quite dry. When it was time for dessert, I went inside and reminded the hostess we were celebrating my grandfather's birthday (we made a note in open table) and asked if he could relay it to my server. The hostess failed to communicate with our server so I personally asked our server to bring out a dessert as it was my grandfather's birthday and he failed to do so (we didn't mind paying for it, just wanted something special so we could sing to him). Overall disappointed with the lack of communication amongst staff and inconsistency in the food. The wait time to get the food was also extremely long but didn't mind as much since the ambiance was nice.

    Waaaay too loud! I will not be back unless I find out something has been done to mitigate this. Modest prices are appropriate for modest quality.

    There were a couple of service missteps that were quickly resolved. I'd rate the food we had as 2/3 pretty good and 1/3 barely good. Drinks were excellent. Ambience was nice, but a little on the loud and bright side. Overall, I'd rate as good, just not as 'special' as I had hoped.

    We so enjoyed our lunch at Coast & Olive. The blackened halibut sandwich was really good, but it was the warm gooey chocolate dessert topped with ice cream that was beyond delicious!. Service was excellent and the space is casually elegant enhanced by high windows that let in a lot of natural light. We look forward to our next meal at Coast & Olive.

    We stopped here for brunch on 11/6 and had a wonderful time. Our server was personable and attentive and each dish we ordered was fantastic. I especially appreciated that they could turn most of their cocktails into mocktails. I would happily go back and would recommend this brunch to anyone looking for delicious food and a upscale vibe.

    Coast & Olive was phenomenal in every way. Great drinks, great service, great selection, and great food. They had a good selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes along with those for omnivores. I had some of the best diver scallops I've ever had there and my wife had a delicious avocado risotto. I will definitely return to try more menu items.

    I'm not sure what's happened, but it took an hour to get our appetizer, and then another 20 minutes to get our food. Watched staff standing around, so unsure if it was a kitchen issue or a staff issue. Unfortunate, because we used to really enjoy this place.

    Mellow outdoor dining on Coast Village Road. We’re told they’re expanding the menu soon to include flatbreads and more deserts. Yummy sides. Trout almandine excellent! Good liquor selection. Bonus: much better prices than Lucky’s next door.

    This is such a pleasant restaurant and the gazpacho and the trout are fantastic. However, both the risotto and the eggplant Parmesan were very bland. The service is excellent. I think if you order carefully, you’ll be happy.
