Perfect food and service, as usual, even in light of all Covid restrictions, we had a great time!

The food and service was Excellent!!!
This is such a great restaurant.
We always have a wonderful time.

Coastal Kitchen is our favorite dining spot! Food is always amazing! Servers and staff are very nice and friendly.

Costal Kitchen never fails to impress. The ambience is inviting and comfortable. Staff is friendly and attentive and of course the food is absolutely delicious.

Coastal Kitchen is a fantastic restaurant. The staff is so friendly, professional and on it! The food and wine selection is divine!! The crab cakes are the best crab cakes I have ever had and the halibut was delicious. LOVE them.

We went the last night you could dine outside, 12/5. This restaurant has done everything possible to keep guests safe but still enhance the dining experience. We had dinner in the “tent” and while it was a tent:) our server(s) made us feel special along with an atmosphere of beautiful lights, astroturf etc. The food is straightforward and fresh. My husband and I shared a kale salad and it was yummy. I had the salmon and it was delicious. I really like this place and can’t wait to go back when this covid disaster is over:)

Chef came around to check on th emeal. Excellent service

Coastal Kitchen is one of two of our favorite restaurants in Dana Point. We support local and go here as often as we can! They did a great job with the outdoor patio and can't wait until this most recent lockdown is lifted, so we can dine again. In the meantime, we've done take-out several times and the food travels very well. The Burger, Halibut & Blackened Ahi are extremely well prepared and delicious. Our server, Nick, was very attentive and informative. Top marks across the board!

Coastal Kitchen is always a favorite. During the pandemic they have pivoted to make it a safe and enjoyable dining experience. Will always continue to support them.

Love this place. They've done a great job too with all the Covid requirements as well.

Excellent evening. I love this place and all my clients as well love it.

Great food, great service.

Love this place.

Consistently great food- nice outdoor dining!

Coastal Kitchen is doing a fabulous job following COVID protocols with minimal impact to your dining experience. The tent they have set up provides a nice atmosphere while providing space and airflow for a safe dining experience. And the food is always excellent!

Our server was wonderful, knowledgeable and very presonable.

Great place to eat and love the outdoor patio

Beautiful little spot. Great service!

It was our first restaurant dining experience since Covid began. We were elated to be out and the food did not disappoint. Mom had delicious Scottish salmon, dad and I enjoyed a very flaky and very fresh halibut with spicy rock shrimp. Our wait staff was attentive. Dad was impressed that they had a barre aged Negroni on the menu.
The key lime was decent. The butter cake - meh - a bit too crusty and maybe a little over cooked.

The outdoor patio was lit up with festive lights around which was helpful since they’ve had to convert the parking lot to a dining room.

Very grateful for our delicious meal and beautiful evening.

From the initial interaction with the staff to the final interaction it was a great experience. Friendly and professionally loose, (great sense of humor), (light hearted), glad we got to revisit this restaurant. Look forward to the next time.

Thanksgiving

Overcooked turkey, bland mashed potatoes and tough hard to chew prime rib

Excellent food and good prices, friendly and professional staff. Nice ambience.

Dining in a tent is ridiculous and need to be back to inside dinning. This social distancing needs to stop!!!

We were checking out places to go for this unusual Thanksgiving and my kids want 1) open space 2) choice of veggies entree for me(vegetarian) and meat for my kids. 3) good ambience and music. I saw Coastal Kitchen Dana Point is open, but have never been to one before. We booked a table for brunch, and was given one by the fire pit open area. All the criteria exceeded our expectations. The food’s great - Jenna had salmon (wild caught) and Jenson had prime rib (we passed on the turkey, I know)... drinks 🍹 are really good too. Will be back again!

Excellent! Great food, superb atmosphere!

Our server, Holly, did an awesome job! What we had in mind, as dinner that night went, was far from standard, but Holly did not miss a beat, as she adjusted to our wants and needs. Food was very good, halibut was excellent, atmosphere and pace was relaxing, though not annoyingly slow. We'll be back, from northern Nevada, with friends!

We love the ambiance, the food and nice beer and wine selection. Plus the owners and servers and hosts are very good at making guests feel special.

always a great time! The menu changes with the available produce of the season. All dishes are complex and delicious. Good wine list too.

Coastal Kitchen is great. We’ve been here about 4 times now. We live in San Diego county and I would happily travel to Dana Point to eat at Coastal. Food and service is great, and they do all the right things with respect to COVID. This makes diners feel safe and adds to the enjoyable experience.

The food was soooo good. All the staff was super friendly.

The Coastal Kitchen has become one of our regular haunts. They have done a remarkable job decorating the parking lot to create a real nice ambiance. The service is constantly outstanding and friendly. And the food is interesting , flavorable and delicious.

We highly recommend it.

Loved it! Quick Service, fun server, safe environment, awesome food!

Outside dining set up was not appealing. Disappointed
It was a plastic tent and not pretty
Salad dressing was super heavy on salads

Expensive overall for the experience

The food was excellent. The butter cake was chewy and not very warm, so considering we were celebrating a birthday , it was a little disappointing.

As always wait staff was friendly & efficient. Food was delicious & promptly served. They have done so much to make their outside patio inviting, comfortable & still follow all applicable guidelines. Highly recommend.

Love the food!

Everyone, from hostesses to servers, was super nice, friendly, and knowledgeable. I took my girlfriend for her birthday lunch and we both had a great time.

Been there many times. Food is always good and generous portions, especially like the clam chowder.
Only disappointment is Smores pie is no longer on the menu. Why?

Great place! My wife and I really enjoyed it. The salmon was flavorful, the key lime pie is 5 star and the caesar salad was excellent too. Good size glass of wine, good service and a fair price for everything. We'll be back.
