Coastal Society has been one of our favorite spots to grab a cocktail and I was so excited to take my friends there for my bachelorette party. We reserved a table for 11 months prior and called to confirm the weeks leading up. The night of, we showed up and they were closed. While an email was supposedly sent, there was no further follow-up to confirm that we knew they wouldn't be servicing our reservation. I understand that in small businesses, things happen, but there should have been more of an attempt to reach out to customers who had CONFIRMED their reservations. We are disappointed in the customer service, to say the least.
A cute place for a fun drink! Espresso martinis were yummy! The three people working were doing the best they could and were friendly! Best of luck in college!

Unfortunately, our recent visit for cocktails at this boutique spot was disappointing. We arrived early on a Friday, intending to enjoy some drinks and explore nearby shops. Upon entry, we were greeted warmly by a casually dressed staff member, but the experience went downhill from there.
We were seated outside, where the setting appeared neglected and uncleaned for some time. Service was slow; it took 15 minutes for our server to take our order and another 10 minutes to receive our cocktails, which were priced steeply at $18 each. With only one other group present, the long wait seemed unreasonable. Ultimately, we felt that both our time and money could have been better spent elsewhere.

Not sure what has happened to this place but it was a very disappointing experience! Outside area was dirty & unkept….no “real bartender “ on staff, just young people trying to fill in! Overpriced $17 drinks….we will not return unfortunately….we used to love this place! Cannot recommend at this time unless drastic changes are made…..

Really weird service / atmosphere / vibes.
Great curb appeal, but they were practically begging us not to come back.

The music is so loud in an otherwise very quiet neighborhood. Can hear it all day from my house

Delicious cocktails, comfortable outdoor seating, AND a cute boutique?! There’s truly nothing more I could ask for!

Some of the most unpleasant waitstaff I’ve ever encountered- we received a very unenthused and icy welcome. The atmosphere was lovely but ultimately ruined by the incessant deluge of Taylor Swift music. My cocktail had a horrible flavor profile and the waitress refused to address it. Also the only tip options are 20-25 percent with no other options to enter a custom amount? Just another example of how tipping culture is out of control in our society. I would never come back. Overpriced and extremely underwhelming.

A great spot with interesting drinks and small plates. The staff knew a lot of the guests by name and made first time visitors feel right at home. Clothing boutique had nice quality, on-trend items.

We had a reservation for 6 pm and showed up and bc it may rain they didn’t have room for us due to 4 other large reservations at 630. Then proceeded to try and make a table work in their retail area of the building. We decided not to stay and left and asked about the $50 charge they had if we no show the reservation since they couldn’t accommodate us, to which the 3 young girls working didn’t know what would happen with the charge. Following, the girl in our group who made the reservation got a volatile phone call from the owner stating that we were volatile to her children. I’ve worked in the industry for a long time, but having no manager in the building and having 3 young girls alone on a Saturday in the summer is not a way to keep customers.

Reservation was made back in April for bachelorette party on a Sunday in August. After reaching out multiple times to confirm with no answer/response closer to, got a response on the Friday before the reservation that they can no longer accommodate. Their messages were very unprofessional and rude. Absolutely do not recommend the service from this establishment.

We’ve been here multiple times and have always had a great experience. It’s the perfect spot for a date night or to hang out with friends for high end cocktails. Food options are limited, but good. They are also dog friendly, which is a huge plus!

A fine cocktail and beer list with an easygoing atmosphere that brought me right into the vacation mentality. Love the space.
