My fiancé and I were early birds for dinner on a Sunday night. It had just rained, so we opted to sit in the dining room, but the outdoor terrace looked really nice with a view of the pond across the way. My fiancé enjoyed his coconut mojito and raw salmon trio appetizer, and I had the pear and arugula salad as a starter. The pears were fresh and sweet! I was glad that we ordered separate appetizers because they were on the smaller side. For my meal, I enjoyed the crusted chicken palliard, and my fiancé had the lobster seafood risotto, which is their signature dish. Overall, tasty, but we also thought the portion for the risotto could’ve been a bit bigger to match the price tag, or at least some bigger chunks of lobster. Desserts of the cheesecake and warm chocolate brownie were good. The server was attentive and accommodating.

Amazing peach and watermelon salad, lobster risotto and one of the best chicken paillards I ever had! There is a gorgeous view of the pond and sunset from the flowering outdoor terrace and tons of parking (unlike on Greenwich Ave). My son loves escargo (!) and they even had that on the menu. My husband had the freshest octopus salad I've ever had. The cheesecake was delish with a gram cracker crust. Coast is a hidden Gem!
Unusually quiet night and enjoyed the peace while we ate dinner. Staff was very attentive and food was cooked to our liking. Definitely will come back here over any of the downtown Greenwich alternatives just minutes away.
Absolutely perfection. The chicken paillard will blow you away, while dining on their amazing waterfront patio. Lots of parking too!!!!

A great place to sit outdoors with friends, especially as the sun sets. The tempura shrimp appetizer was so fresh and crispy. Also loved the chicken dumplings and we fought over the Parmesan Brussels sprouts.
My friend had the burger and she raved about it. Will definitely go back! Service was very friendly and attentive too. And no parking hassle like on the Avenue.
Kid-friendliness: Also had a kids menu. And atmosphere is relaxed enough for kids, but still nice for a specific occasion meal.

Gorgeous outdoor patio perfect for a beautiful day - and lots of parking which is hard to find on Greenwich Avenue. Loved all the options on the kids menu for my little one and the food was delicious!

Went there for my birthday dinner and it was magical! The outdoor seating on the terrace had flowers and a view of the pond. They have tons of parking so you don’t have to fight for a spot on the Ave. the watermelon salad, muscles, scallops, steak lobster risotto, shrimp po boy, shishito peppers and chicken paillard were all amazing. We shared lots of plates and the staff gave us desert with a candle. The cheesecake was outstanding.
Parking: Huge parking lot in front and back. Free.
Kid-friendliness: We had a toddler and they brought a high charge. She loved the kids menu which even has shrimp and fish on it.

We had terrible experience with this restaurant. Made reservation for Sunday brunch/lunch to celebrate my mom’s birthday. Upon arrival found restaurant closed. It was 2pm and I specifically asked about lunch menus being available. We had Guests with us and it was embarrassing moment to meet them by closed door. As we called to speak to the manager , they said that they tried to call us numerous times but couldn’t reach us. My phone record doesn’t show any calls from Coast. We used to like this place , but never again!!! Don’t ever make reservation with Coast. You will be in a whole bunch of embarrassment !

It started well, but service was lacking. When one waiter tried to help, he got yelled at. Our meal was cold,and the portion was miniscule compared to other dishes. We sent it back, and it was still cold.
I saw people standing and waiting for a table, but no one acknowledged them. That was the first and last time I will eat there.

The experience is amazing. The place has an old jazz age vibes to it. The food is also great and the staff excellent. I enjoyed my time. Fun and creative menu with a wide variety of seafood options, along with an extensive drink menu. Recommend their grilled octopus and Chilean Seabass. Enjoying their beautiful outdoor patio dining with pleasant pond view and gorgeous sunset with my coolest margarita...
This was our first, and last, time at Coast. Perhaps this was an off night or perhaps they are simply coasting on their old reputation. Either way, let's start at the beginning. They were out of 3 out of three of the listed oysters. Bummer. Then the main course came out and the Sea Bass was not only undercooked, it was raw. The Diver Scallops on Risotto was a hot mess. The scallops were over cooked and the risotto was overcooked and bland. I sent it back asking g if they could redo and it came back in tomato sauce with salt. For desert we ordered the chocolate brownie with Ice Cream and the flourless chocolate cake. The brownie was microwaved and the ice cream was melting when it came out. The flourless chocolate cake wasn't horrible, but it wasn't good either. The ice cream was cold-ish, but also melting. All in all, blah. Not worthy of a visit. They did take the $45 Sea Bass off the bill, but offered nothing else and, where they didn't have to, a little offering would have gone a long way. That is all, in a clamshell.
Wonderful friendly welcome. Food is superb, as is the wine and beverages. We hadn't been to the space since it's previous iteration almost a year ago and they remembered we like their lobster seafood risotto. Best hamachi I think I have ever had. Little neck clams integrated very well with pastas. Grilled octopus dish was outstanding. Chicken, which can be francese, really shines here. Chilean Seabass was perfectly cooked with black bean sauce, it's delicious and I'd like to say it's the best I never ever have it. Superb evening, where simplicity and quality of flavors shines above all else. Must complement team on excellent lighting. Everyone looks good under this light
What a gem! Neighborhood fav. So thankful for what Cindi & her team are doing here. A beautifully thought out, It was a perfect evening; the food was delicious not fussy, but each of dish was excellent. The filet of sole is my favorite and has been continuously on the menu. The service is professional but friendly. We always leave in a good mood; everyone is a special guest at this great restaurant. By the way, the best soundtrack adds to the great ambiance
The woman who served us was very nice. The price of the food was very high for what you received. My mother was supposed to have seafood in a rice dish, and there was so little in it, she couldn't find it. The drinks were very expensive for how small, and I received a drink that tasted like an old fashioned instead of a whiskey sour. My mother had a Bloody Mary without any garnish and in a tall glass that was 4 oz. My main dish and my sons was very good, the sea bass. Both of those dishes were delicious. The seats in the place were falling apart, the booths cushions all ripped and looked old. The bar was cute and bartender was nice. The overall value was not there, and we felt for the amount of food and drinks we received, we would not recommend going back.
