    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!

    My husband and I went to Merton’s Prime for Christmas dinner. They had a special menu - there were several choices for main dishes, appetizers, side, dishes, and desserts. There’s an extensive wine and drink menu. We were seated immediately, and our waitress was top-notch. The food was delicious and we had a lovely, relaxing dinner. We weren’t rushed and enjoyed every minute of our experience.

    I took my work team there for a holiday dinner, and we all ordered the special of the day, which was steak over mashed potatoes and broccolini. The steak was incredibly tender and the potatoes were seasoned well too. We also ordered the bruschetta appetizer and it came in generous proportions. Overall it was a very enjoyable dinner and I will return!
