   We made a reservation and still had to wait 10 minutes beyond the time for the table to be ready, even though 1/4 the restaurant was empty. Waited another 5 minutes for our server to come by to get the drink order. He was noticeably annoyed that we wanted a round of water for everyone after being out in the sun all day. He warmed up over the course of our meal, but service was slow at best. The manager hovered by our table every time the Server stopped by, so perhaps he was still in training, but nobody specified what the deal was. There was live music in the lounge - the singer had a wonderful voice! We could still hear her a little in the dining room and the views are incredible, if you can get a table by the windows. I ordered the Pork Shank w/ mushroom risotto. Pork was so delicious - risotto was so disappointing and the veggies tasted like they'd been soaked in acetone. Another member of our party ordered the Salmon - she said it was incredible and 3 others from our party got the Bolognese. 2 of them said it was alright, the 3rd said it was awful. Overall, the real winner was the kids chicken fingers/fries. That was some of the best chicken I've ever had and the honey mustard was fabulous. Server stopped by to clear the table and asked if we wanted dessert - we said No Thank You and again, noticeably irritated with us. We said we were ready for the check which he finally brought by 10+ minutes later and then we waiting another 10+ minutes for him to come get our card so we could pay and leave. If you have time to spare, want a beautiful view while you eat and don't really care about possibly throwing $$ away on mediocre food, then this is the spot for you.

   Food, service were great. Only complaint was the vocalist entertaining in the adjacent bar/lounge. She was exceedngly loud, using a microphone that was uneccesary for the size of the space there. Totally affected the ambience in the dining room in a negative way.

   We had a 545p reservation and we were seated at one of the best window tables overlooking the gulf. Gorgeous! The restaurant was very pretty, chairs comfortable and service was excellent. We all liked our food as well. Parking was challenging since it is busy season...however the restaurant was EMPTY until about 630p. It's a great place so hopefully they will get busier!

   I went to dinner here a few days before I liked it so much I came back with family members and it was just as good. The service was excellent and the food was too. If you have room in your stomach get the lava cake. We shared it with the four of us, there was plenty to go around. Did I say the View? The view is amazing! Large Windows’s looking out at the ocean. And Free parking. We will definitely be back soon.

   They took a reservation but the dining room was not open until 5:00. Ridiculous. Ruined a 60rh birthday party

    Nice restaurant with a beautiful view. Tracy did a terrific job. Prices are pretty high, however we wouldn’t mind the price as much if the entrees were served with two vegetables, like most fine dining restaurants do. So many of Coste’s entrees are served with just potatoes or no veg at all, just risotto or polenta. Add some broccoli, asparagus, green beans, or Brussels in there!
    

    Coste Island CuisineResponded 7 days ago

    Hi Billie, Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the view and that Tracy took great care of you. I appreciate your input on the entrees—adding more veggies is a great suggestion, and I’ll be sure to share it with our culinary team. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another great experience! Best regards, Neil Hopgood, General Manager
