    Koast consistently delivers a satisfying experience with every visit! The crudo dishes are as delicious as they are beautifully plated! The Uni pasta was also a standout, with a rich umami flavor. The wine program is outstanding, with well curated selections from around the world. Service was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable . While Koast has a causal, neighborhood feel, the food and service are executed at the highest levels. I can’t wait to to return!

    Outdoor counter is pretty narrow, not really adequate space in front or back. Staff is very accommodating.

    2nd time eating here. So tasty! We’ve had a couple things twice- the bluefin in brown butter, the sablefish, and crab dip. New this time we tried the yellowtail, mushroom tortellini, and sea bass entree. The banana pudding for dessert a special treat!
