"The only reason I rated the "ambiance" lower is because it was very warm in the area we were sitting. The place is beautiful!"

"Coast was striving to do a nice brunch for Mother's Day and they succeeded. I personally would have appreciated more fresh salads and a different desert option rather than a chocolate fountain but the bellini bar was a nice touch and ALL of the food was exceptional. Our server, Logan, was very attentive and the servers overall seemed to work as a team to clear plates and fill waters. We will definitely be going back! The only drawback is the different "levels" of the restaurant for an elderly person to manuver for a stationed brunch. As long as other customers keep their young children from running amuk the ambience was lovely."

"I expected better food for the money...I've had much better food for the money at other restaurants. The Mother's Day brunch was way over priced."

sliced beef in the au jus made it a bit tougher - was great if you got it before it was drowned

"It was a nice brunch...not over the top with selections, which was refreshing. Four of us dined and we each had our favorites. There was enough to appeal to everyone, but not so much that you felt over-endulged. It was expensive. Therefore, I may be inclined to consider other options next go round. Did not look at the regular menu, but assume brunch price was indicative of the regular fare. If so, I may frequent only on special occasion. That would be unfortunate, because it's a beautiful location."

"We were there for Valentines Day- but for a Girls Night- and we were surprised that it was so empty!
The food was very good and the service too!
Only tiny minus - on that day they had the Valentines Menu and they didn't gave us the obvious choice of the a la carte... plus the server should know what kind of champagne he`s serving... (but maybe thats justs me being spoiled by Switzerland)
Overall a wonderful night with great food- anytime again!"
