About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Great for creative cocktails

Classic, consistent, upscale cuisine is offered in a well-appointed, unpretentious setting in this top-notch nosherie. The beautiful bar invites easy conversation and casual dining. Located on the affluent Great Neck corridor in Virginia Beach, just three miles from the Oceanfront, Coastal Grill is as famous for what isn't on the menu as for what actually is. Owner Jerry Bryan with Executive Chef Maureen Cucchiaro and Chef de Cusine Brad Bates at the stove, offer an extensive list of "blackboard specials," always with a nice assortment of freshly caught regional seafood. This locals favorite has received critical acclaim since its inception over 25 years ago, culminating in being voted the Number 1 Restaurant by Hampton Roads Magazine. With amazing food and exemplary service, Coastal Grill is a sure bet for business dinners, special occasions, or simply unwinding after a hard day. Come celebrate with us!

We love Coastal grill. However my wife’s oysters were over cooked when I asked them to be lightly cooked to preserve their juicyness. That is twice! All other entrees have always been awesome.

The food was pretty good, but it was not at all worth the 2 hour wait (not exaggerating, the food literally took 2 hours to come) and the very expensive price.

The food that they did have available was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, they had already run out of some of the specials, including entrées and appetizers.
