One of our go to places at the beach and we had another outstanding meal. The smoked old fashioned and coastalpolitan were both great. Had the special stuffed squash blossom app and it was amazing. The scallops and duck breast entrees were fantastic as well. For dessert, our server, Chloe, recommended the strawberry rhubarb and corn crisp which I think I would normally pass on but we always go with her recommendations. It was amazing as well. A very special experience.

This was our first visit to One Coastal - and definitely won't be our last! Our group of four had a wonderful experience. Our server, Max, was exceptional, and the bartender concocted some fantastic cocktails. But the food -- the food! -- was simply amazing. The fresh ingredients and beautiful presentations made each dish delectable. We all felt the evening was a special treat, and we can't wait to return. Excellent!

Wonderful restaurant with excellent service and food. Portions seem ample but my scallop entree seemed smaller in comparison to others. But definitely recommend.

Had an excellent birthday dinner at One Coastal. I'm pregnant and they even gave my husband and I non-alcoholic champagne to celebrate. Our food was delicious. Highly recommend the catfish entree. We also had the coconut cake! Overall great meal, will be back!

Overall disappointed in food. Wonderful ingredients, but not prepared to best advantage. Asparagus and crab flavors lost in heavy strong flavored broth in soup. Duck tough. Too many mushrooms on plate (very one note. Maybe risotto instead or ravioli.) flavors of various ingredients on plate did not harmonize. No purpose for some of ingredients. Expect more from high end expensive restaurant!

Absolutely exquisite from the appetizers to the duck (possibly the best thing I have ever eaten), punctuated by the best kept secret after dinner drink.

Wonderful food and relaxed ambience. I think the pricing was very reasonable for the quality, and the flavors were interesting in addition to the plates being well executed.
