Classic, consistent, upscale cuisine is offered in a well-appointed, unpretentious setting in this top-notch nosherie. The beautiful bar invites easy conversation and casual dining. Located on the affluent Great Neck corridor in Virginia Beach, just three miles from the Oceanfront, Coastal Grill is as famous for what isn't on the menu as for what actually is. Owner Jerry Bryan with Executive Chef Maureen Cucchiaro and Chef de Cusine Brad Bates at the stove, offer an extensive list of "blackboard specials," always with a nice assortment of freshly caught regional seafood. This locals favorite has received critical acclaim since its inception over 25 years ago, culminating in being voted the Number 1 Restaurant by Hampton Roads Magazine. With amazing food and exemplary service, Coastal Grill is a sure bet for business dinners, special occasions, or simply unwinding after a hard day. Come celebrate with us!

A friend and I had a wonderful dinner Monday! We shared the calamari, which was great, loved the sauce too, perfect accompaniment. We both had the rockfish special, again, delicious. I had the carrot cake, my friend the apple ricotta cake. As always , such a pleasure dining at one of our favorite restaurants.

Amazing food. Every bite was melt in your mouth lovely. It was a birthday meal. Calamari was perfect. Crab cakes were the best I’ve ever tasted, truly. Duck in a cherry sauce melted in the mouth. Carrot cake with rum sauce more than delectable. Ambiance and food led us into the sweetest conversation about our years celebrating. What a pleasure to discover Coastal Grill. The only caveat is that it is more expensive than Open Table posts. It should have three dollar signs by its listing, not two. For this lovely meal the cost was high. But goodness, it was wonderful.
