One Coastal Will provide you with a dining experience a step above a majority of beach restaurants. Firstly, it is a small, more intimate place, although busy. Thus it’s hard to get a reservation, so be flexible. The earliest we could get was 8:45 on a Tuesday. This is due to the quality of the food and popularity it has earned over the years. It’s worth it but plan well in advance. Craft cocktails, reasonably priced wine list, and by the glass. The Tuscan red blend is a beautiful food friendly wine. Just a nice, mellow, delicious experience.

One Coastal is a magical place for a perfect meal! Each time we go the ambiance, the interactions, and the tastes leave us deeply satisfied. (It's also special to be able to walk a block to the beach afterwards and enjoy the ocean!)

Always our go to place for a great meal(even if we have to eat a lot later than our norm)! Only criticism about last night was too much cauliflower. Soup of the day for example and it was prominent in our entrees. Since it’s summer and hot , something more seasonal. I think cauliflower in the fall.

Best food on the beach restaurants. Great welcoming staff. Cocktails that can't be beat. And of course the best food around. Easy to see why they were James beard finalists. Chicken and biscuits to die for.

Great meal again at One Coastal. Lived the tuna and duck mains, prepared perfectly and the accompaniments were remarkable. Enjoyed the crab and asparagus app. The beets salad could be better as it was too hard (cheese and the beets). Nice bottle of French Chardonnay too
