About the restaurant

Every coastline brings with it an air of freshness and wonder, an inspiration in every ebb and flow. Coasts can be recognizable and new … predictably unpredictable in a way that can surprise or delight. But no matter the geography, there is a familiarity and a connection. At Coast 236, the rhythm of familiarity and freshness is our inspiration. Sourcing fresh and sustainable ingredients from water and land, we passionately craft approachable coastal inspired cuisine with unexpected details. Coast 236 takes reservations for tables of 1-6 guests only through open table. Sorry, service animals only.

The food this evening did not disappoint yet again. The Nibi has fantastic chefs whom prepare the most delicious dishes. We had a wonderful waiter named Anthony. We request him when we eat at the Nibi. All of the wait staff, greeters , host/hostess and the busers are very professional, nice and hard working. You will love the Nibi!!

We we’re staying on site at the fields and had reservations, but as dinner time approached so did a rainstorm and we weren’t much in the mood for socializing. Staff went above and beyond and delivered our dinner to our tent!! we offered to come pick it up, but they were so kind to bring it to us to enjoy the privacy of our own tent!

I know it’s a steak house but my favorite thing on the menu is the wedge salad with bacon lardons. The mushrooms are extra fab as well. Service is exceptional. Wonderful evening.
