    By far the BEST food in this area! We also love the intimate feel there & the Manhattan's on barrel tap! Our service was excellent and they are always so careful and diligent to accommodate my Celiac and necessity to be gluten-free - Thank You Courtney! It's totally worth the price for the food quality and uniqueness of the dishes, superb wine list, atmosphere, service & the ability to easily hear each other in conversation! It's always such a pleasure to treat ourselves to dinner at One Coastal!

    Had not been in over a year. Both the service and quality of food have declined. It was not worth $140 for dinner for 2. Very disappointed.

    Wonderful dining experience. One Coastal is our favorite place to go to celebrate special occasions or for dinners with friends. We were there this week to celebrate our 49th anniversary and when we told our server she immediately brought us two glasses of Prosecco so we could make a toast. The food is superb and the service excellent. Every time!

    We had Blood Orange salad, which was a wonderful unique combination of greens, nuts, orange and a wonderful dressing. We had the duck breast, which was a generous portion cooked medium rare. It was served with a well seasoned braised red cabbage mixture which was had crunchy sweet potato crisps and raisins for a sweet and savory wonderful texture and taste. It was served over sweet potato puree. My husband wanted to lick the plate it was so delicious! We topped it off with Opera cake which had wonderful espresso flavors and crunchy chocolate covered espresso beans. The best meal we can remember ever having. Will definitely be going back there again. Prices were very comparable to the better restaurants in the area as well. It was a very casual environment given the quality of the food.

    Small dining room table was just too much in the middle of the room in the breeze of the door. Hard to hear. Food was excellent our waitress was very helpful with the menu.
