   It's a lovely venue - was a bit odd that I was shown to the table tucked right at the back of the bright venue which was dark and had an annoying hum (radiator) noise and the table vibrated while there were a lot of free sunny tables. Asked to move and was without any issue - thank you. Lobster burger was crunchy and loads of fries. Not sure I'd have that again. My friends enjoyed their dishes. Wine good and not too pricey.

   Disappointed. They advertise a prix fix lunch menu but 'stopped doing it 3 weeks ago'. Why is it still on the website? Food was overcooked. Won't be back

   Whole Seabass was moist and excellent with the tapenade & pesto. Lobster burger a first and very tasty. We are always impressed by the high quality of food without fuss. The man managing the restaurant was appropriately enthusiastic about the dishes with clear explanations and recommendations.

   Had a lovely lunch with friends. Good food and service. A bit disappointed that the Fixed Price lunch menu is no longer available and the restaurant was really quiet considering it was a Saturday so not much ambience. Will perhaps make a return visit in the evening as no longer any financial advantage to going at lunch time.

   Good food and service too, at least until the mains had been served after which it was a bit more sporadic. Atmosphere was ok but the restaurant was busy and noise levels rose just a bit too much for comfort. Overall, good but not great.

   Very enjoyable dinner at First Coast. Service was welcoming and table service excellent. Menu more limited than hitherto, but still very good, especially for fish and seafood dishes. Chicken supreme was delicious. The bouillabaise was on the salty side, but that is a matter of taste. Mango mousse was excellent too. List of available beers was very limited; more craft beers would be an advantage. Definitely a place to return to.

   I highly recommend First Coast as a wonderful evening of excellent food & wine collection, friendly & efficient staff, pleasant atmosphere, excellent service & the food was superb. All 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. I have dined here several times over the last few years & am never disappointed. Thank you.
