This is always a favorite and always good. I have always had a Bloody Mary and the traditional eggs Benedict. I have never been disappointed. We come here with some frequency and will continue to do so. Go next door to Tony’s on Third if you wnt Key Lime pie that is the best ever!

I ordered the ribeye and my husband ordered the lobster tails. My friends had the salmon and the short ribs. We all loved our meals. My friends said it was a great meal and the little extras for dessert they give you are a nice touch. We will be back.

We celebrated my husbands birthday at Coast last night. It was an absolutely wonderful evening!! Not only were our dinners delish, but the service was a 10. Luz was extremely attentive and so very thoughtful. And the birthday dessert served to my husband was fabulous. This was his #1 choice to have his celebration.
