    The food and service are absolutely amazing! It’s cozy so you’re close to your neighbors and it gets loud when a large group comes in. On this January evening it was also really cold inside so dress warmly!

    Second visit as we were in Holland for a wedding this time. Had cauliflower steak and a chicken dish, both were excellent. The wine choices were well done-we had a Gamay and a Bordeaux by the glass. Our table was prepared for us ahead of our arrival and we had a great window seat.

    We chose Coast for our wedding anniversary dinner and it was perfect. We booked early (5:30 pm) as we hoped for a quiet meal.we were the first guests to arrive and got a table for two in front of the fireplace. We both loved our meals - scallops for me and salmon for my husband - and were grateful for outstanding service!

    Staff are excellent Meatballs could use a touch of salt, beets are beautiful and delicious, steak is fine, fries are excellent (slightly crunch outside, soft inside). Half chicken was very tart - too much lemon. Baileys came with ice but was whisked away and brought back neat (probably my fault for over complicating the request - “no ice” would have sufficed).
