I brought my son to celebrate his birthday and we had a most enjoyable evening with multiple course of creative and fresh ingredients alongside wine from around the world. Touché!
Vince
The experience was wonderful, the staff were all very professional and knowledgeable about all different dishes and wines. We had the chef's menu with the wine pairing and everything was done perfect. It is not a weekly experience for a person that is retired but it is defiantly and great experience for a special occasion.
Eileen
The service really stood out as excellent. Hannah the sommelier, was superb. A wonderful, beautiful meal.
Jesse
We loved everything about it! All of the staff were wonderful. The servers and sommelier extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the food. A very special night for my wife and I!
Elaine
We really liked our vegan (because they sounded good) main courses--they were truly creative.

Service is my top priority when dining out, and Rachel was absolutely phenomenal. My husband and I had an incredible experience thanks to her attentiveness and warmth. She anticipated our needs before we even voiced them. At times, it truly felt like she could read our minds! Despite being a fine dining experience, the evening never felt pretentious or overly formal. We felt like the experience was just filled with genuine hospitality paired with impeccable service and delicious food. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. Teagan welcomed us with a friendly smile and escorted us to our window-side table, which offered a stunning ocean view. Each table having its own “private” window made the atmosphere even more special. Throughout the evening, Rachel, Hannah, and Jesus guided us through each course, describing every dish in thoughtful detail and inviting questions. Rachel went above and beyond by asking for our feedback at the end and even shared some wonderful local recommendations since we're visiting the area. The food itself was exceptional. Every course was beautifully curated, with playful contrasts in texture and flavor. The pacing between courses was perfect. We had enough time to savor each dish, enjoy our conversation, and never feel rushed. Best of all, we left feeling not just satisfied, but also FULL. We can't recommend Coastal Kitchen enough.
Kathy
Delicious food that was imaginatively prepared. Fabulous service and a beautiful room. A great place for a special occasion or just to treat yourself
Cheryl
Overall my experience was fantastic. First, I made a special request before dinner, as I was a solo-diner, and the team made the hostess made perfect accommodation, thank you. Second, this was a special dinner for me and I selected the tasting menu with wine pairing. The wine-pairing was spot on. The whole team was super attentive, yet not invasive and I really appreciated them allowing me to relax and enjoy my meal. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Mark
Spent our 14th anniversary dinner here, and it was a great dinner. Everything was delicious...my only complaint is that the wife was full by the 4th course!
Dianne
An expansive view of Monterey bay in a quiet an elegant setting. The food was so good, as were the wines we enjoyed with it. Jesus and Sarah are highly recommended.
Still getting over the sticker shock of inflation these days, but the view (we went early to see the sailing race) was fantastic, and the food beautifully prepared with some very special touches like the dark-rimmed avocados on the salad. We don't drink so we missed the wine pairings, but the neighboring table was very happy. The service was excellent and they even ordered a rainbow for our anniversary.
Chris
My wife and I had an absolutely amazing dinner at Coastal Kitchen. The view of the bay from our table just made the experience more memorable. The staff was exceptional as was our meal. Fine dining at its best.
Bob
Excellent dining experience. Had the tasting menu and associated wine flight. Food preparation and presentation were right on as were the wines selected for each dish. Wait staff was professional and highly attentive. Beautiful room with wall to wall windows providing views overlooking Monterey Bay. If you are looking for a higher end dinning experience I would recommend Coastal Kitchen
Kim
Beautiful presentations on the 5 course tasting menu. Wine pairing fantastic. Expensive. Some courses hit high marks, a couple were good but not great.

We went here for our Anniversary and it was worth it. They gave us a wonderful table. The staff was great and all of the food was amazing and delicious. It was well worth an adult night out, and we would highly recommend it.
