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.

    We were greeted warmly by the hostess, and she was able to accommodate our early arrival.  We had a very enjoyable evening with our server Evan K.  He was very knowledgeable in regards to the entrées, along with wine pairings.  His level of professionalism was outstanding.  We had the tornadoes and the scallops and they were cooked to perfection and the presentation was lovely.  Although full he talked us into the crème brûlée and it probably was the best crème brûlée in a long time. We plan to return for one of the special evening 6 courses tasting menu.

    Nice decor and menu options. Love the 6 or 9 course meal which allows you to sample (3 bites) of everything on the main entrees. Entree options from lamp, salmon, wahoo, beef, risotto, scallops, etc. Served was very good and wine pairings as well. Pretty nice assortment of mixed drinks and wines. We would go again. Expect to pay around $100 for meal including glass of wine.

    Evan was a knowledgeable and attentive server. Each course was paced unhurriedly, and the food and wine pairings were spot on. My favorite was the Scallops & Pork Belly.
