“We visited as a group of five friends and had such a pleasant evening. The atmosphere was quiet and elegant, making it a great spot for a relaxed dinner. The food wasn’t overly salty, which I really appreciated, and the crispy texture of some dishes was excellent. It’s not the type of place where you can be loud or overly casual, but the refined vibe matched the dining experience well. Overall, we enjoyed our time and the food.”

All I can say is that the food was excellent, along with the staff! No wait at about 8 pm (on a Monday). I started with the Tuna Tacos, and they were so good that I didn't even need my entrée. I also loved the grouper plate dinner. VY was my server and was spot on with service and suggestions. Will be visiting this hot spot again soon!

We had the sautéed shrimp and grits cake, as well as the shrimp roll — both were absolutely delicious. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, retaining great flavor and texture. The French fries served with the roll were thin-cut and fried in clean oil, giving them a crisp, fresh taste. The grits cake was soft and smooth, just like its name suggests — almost like a savory cake. The restaurant’s interior was stylish, and our server was kind and attentive. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we’d love to come back again.

A lovely premium American dining experience with a good mix of seafood and non seafood options. We started with the crab and shrimp sliders which were addictive, then had some crab and corn chowder and a crab cake and steak. Will come back!

BEST Fish and Chips around! So crispy, savory, and seasoned to perfection! I love how they gave me the option to switch my coleslaw for the tomato/cucumber salad! The salad is so fresh! I will always come back to Coastal Flats because they never disappoint!

Tucked inside a bustling mall, this seafood restaurant truly impressed me—not just with its fresh, flavorful dishes at reasonable prices, but with the level of service. The staff was warm and polite, and to my surprise, they still had my contact from a visit to another branch five years ago. Talk about attention to detail! The food came out incredibly fast, which we appreciated since we were in a rush to catch the F1 premiere. Everything we ordered was solid, but the calamari is a must-try—crispy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. I also had the Pineapple Mojito—a bit sweet for my taste, but still refreshing and well made. Overall, a great experience. Definitely a go-to spot for quality seafood and efficient, thoughtful service—even in the middle of a busy mall.

I had an amazing dining experience at Coastal Flat Restaurant! The atmosphere was inviting and relaxing, perfect for a casual meal or date. The staff was friendly and attentive. My server Jose was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I highly recommend the Shrimp and Grits or Filet Steak. Overall, a fantastic place to enjoy great food and good vibes. I’ll definitely be returning soon!
